Acts_as_Taggable

Rails
1

A couple of quick acts_as_taggable (the Rails 1.1 plugin version)

  1. Can you update tags on an existing record?

If I execute the tag_with statement twice it creates two rows in the
taggings column, instead of updating the value of the existing tag

  1. Can you delete tags? I didn’t see a method for this. If I can
    delete tags, problem #1 goes away.

I use tag_with (see example below) to update objects tags, and I didn’t
notice any data duplication.

1/In the view (edit.rhtml)

<%= text_field_tag "tag_list", @entity.tags.collect {|tag|

tag.name}.join(’ ') }%>

2/ in the controller (def update)

 def update
     ...
     @entity.tag_with(params[:tag_list])
     @entity.save
     ...
