DHH’s acts\_as\_taggable is now much more usable with this patch.

[http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/3866](http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/3866)

This patch adds scoped finders, documentation, and tests:

# Get tags for all articles in a blog

@blog.articles.tags

# Get tags for articles in a blog published in the last year

@blog.articles.tags :conditions =\> [‘published\_at \> ?’, 1.year.ago]

# Get related tags from article tags in a blog

@blog.articles.find\_related\_tags [‘code’, ‘rails’]

# Get blog articles tagged with any/all tags

@blog.articles.find\_tagged\_with :all =\> [‘code’, ‘rails’]  
@blog.articles.find\_tagged\_with :any =\> [‘code’, ‘rails’]  
@blog.articles.find\_tagged\_with [‘code’, ‘rails’] # Depreciated  
interface

I would appreciate any feedback.

Hi Sean

I hope I’m not confused and that you are actually referring to this:

[http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/3928](http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/3928)

This patch looks really good and I’m going to be using/testing it. I was  
pulling my hair out a bit with the original. Thanks to everyone who  
worked on this.

Brian

IIRC, the first version had difficulty discriminating between tags in  
STI classes.

If you did this…

B \< A  
and  
C \< A

and then did

C.find\_tagged\_with(“tag”)

it would return all A,B, and C with that tag.

Does this ticket fix that?
