I am using acts\_as\_taggable and everything seems to be working except  
that

:condition =\> “tags\_resources.portal\_id=#{portal\_id}”

is not being applied.

```
  @resource_pages = Paginator.new self, 

```

Resource.find\_tagged\_with(:any =\> tag, :condition =\>  
“tags\_resources.portal\_id=#{portal\_id}”).length, 25, @params[‘page’];  
@resources = Resource.find\_tagged\_with( :any =\> tag, :condition  
=\> “tags\_resources.portal\_id=#{portal\_id}”, :separator=\> ’ ',  
:limit =\> “#{@resource\_pages.current.to\_sql[1]},  
#{@resource\_pages.current.to\_sql[0]}”);

I have two Active Record classes, Resource and Tag.

Can anyone please tell what am I missing here?

Many thanks in advance.  
Frank

I believe it should be :conditions plural, no :condition singular.

Thanks Gerret, for saving the day.

At [taggable.rubyforge.org](http://taggable.rubyforge.org), I was following this example:

Person.find\_tagged\_with(:any =\> ‘wine’, :condition =\>  
“tags\_people.created\_by\_id = 1 AND tags\_people.position = 1”)

Cheers
