hi ,

i have two tables called streams and tags.  
using tags table i am assigning tags to the stream table entries using  
acts\_as\_taggable plugin.  
Now problem is if i try to enter the data for tag table in  
new.html.erb file from views/streams getting error like

Couldn’t find Stream without an ID problem

i have tried to enter data in new.html.erb file like:

**Tags**  
  
\<%= f.text\_area(‘tags\_as\_text’) %\>

instead if i use below code in views:

**Tags**  
 \<%= text\_field\_tag 'tag\_list', @stream.tags.collect { |tag| tag.name.include?(" ") ? '"' +"#{tag.name}" + '"' : tag.name }.join(" ")%\>

i am able to enter data but it is not reflecting in tag table and not  
showing if i do the show option provided .

how to solve this problem?

thanks for any help or suggestions?

regards
