Helo, I’m looking for some info on Evan W.'s has\_many\_polymorphs  
plugin, particularly the taggable generator. Anyone able to give some  
info?  
Somebody told me that I should use it in my app, but the documentation  
isn’t helping and I don’t quite understand the concept (of the  
Taggable) - forgive me my thickness.

Cheers

I’d prefer to use HMP for tagging over any other plugin as HMP is AR  
extension which is a perfect fit for tagging system.

Let me know if it’s sufficient.

Take care
