Acts_as_taggable and single table inheritance

I’ve set up a couple of STI models like such that we get something like
this…

class A < AR:Base

class B < A
acts_as_taggable

class C < A
acst_as_taggable

(using the acts_as_taggable plugin)

I can tag things just fine this way, the problem I encounter is that the
taggings are listed with the base class (“A”) and not the appropriate
subclass (“B” or “C”). This is problematic because I need to be able to
generate a tag cloud by the appropriate ‘class’, and I don’t want tags
from “B” mixing with those from “C”.

Has anyone else encountered this problem before?

This might be related to the problem I’m running into as well, and was
about to ask the list.

Model is similar to above:

class A < AR:Base
acts_as_tagable

class B < A

class C < A

B.find_all acts as it should—only getting objects that belong to the
“B” class.

However, B.find_tagged_with(‘blah’) returns all of the “A” class objects
tagged with ‘blah’, instead of only the “B” class objects.

Is there a work-around for this? Should a bug be filed somewhere?

I hate to add a conditional for Type = ‘B’ when working with the ‘B’
class should constrain the results to the “B” objects.

Thanks,
Wyatt
