Although the plugin acts\_as\_taggable is installed, and there is a table  
in the database named tags having a primary key id and a varchar key  
names… but when i am using the acts\_as\_taggable in my posting model,  
it is giving an error of “undefined method acts\_as\_taggable”. I don’t  
know how to solve this particular problem? If anyone has any idea  
regarding this, then plz let me knw the solution.

How have do you installed the plugin??

Do you know that this plugin was moved to legacy dir…?

[http://dev.rubyonrails.org/browser/plugins/legacy/acts\_as\_taggable/init.rb](http://dev.rubyonrails.org/browser/plugins/legacy/acts_as_taggable/init.rb)

I recomend you the acts\_as\_taggable\_on\_steroids plugin… it’s simply  
better
