Hey everyone, I'm trying to add tagging to a rails photo gallery system I'm working on. It works from
the back-end, but if I try to set or change it in
the form view, it doesn't work.
I added acts_as_taggable to
the photo model and did
the migrations. My gallery builder is programmed to add one tag automatically to each photo it creates. This works fine, just as if it were setting it for
the console. However, I can't seem to set tags using a text_field in
the photo form.
Here's
the code I added to my photo form:
<p>
<%= f.label :tag_list %><br />
<%= f.text_field :tag_list %>
</p>
Now, that's pretty trivial, and since :tag_list supports single-string comma-separated assignment (e.g. tag_list = "this, that,
the other" #= ['this', 'that', '
the other']), I don't see why using a text field doesn't work. And to make even less sense, if a tag list has already been populated,
the list will still show up in
the text field when editing
the photo. I just can't seem to commit any changes to
the list.
The documentation on their github page doesn't appear to give any information on how to set these values from
the view. Any ideas?
Oh, and I'm using
the Rails 3 gem version.
