Here's a good list of tagging plugins ordered by ranking.
Just went through this.
is_taggable
because I liked having something simpleWebsite.tagged_with("sports")
which it didn't support so I switched to acts_as_taggable_on
, the most popular one on githubtagged_with
function had bugs. When searching for a non-existent tag it returned all results instead of zero. So I finally switched to acts_as_taggable_on_steroids
and all is good now. Whew!Summary: my current vote it for acts_as_taggable_on_steroids
Updating this question because it's pretty high in the google results. After looking around at the links in these answers, we settled on acts-as-taggable-on
https://github.com/mbleigh/acts-as-taggable-on
Works with Rails 3 (though as I type this, has an issue with 3.0.10). Easy enough to use. Active development. Support for tag context which I'm sure we're going to want soon.
My favourites is acts_as_taggable_on_steroids
, it's more recent and updated version of the classic acts_as_taggable
.
I just had to figure this out this morning, and chose acts_as_taggable_redux. It has built in support for tag clouds, and all the other features I needed. The most compelling point was that the last update was in October 2009, while the others look like they haven't been touched in a while.
