I am trying to get the text_field in my form partial to comma-separate acts_as_taggable_on tags. Right now, when I reload the page, the commas disappear so if a field has two or more tags, they become one big tag instead. For instance, I get "Tag1 Tag2 Tag3" instead of "Tag1, Tag2, Tag3". I am using acts-as-taggable-on 3.4.2.
Here is my _form.html.erb partial:
<h2>Tags:</h2>
<p>Please separate the tags with a comma ','</p>
<% @article.tag_types.each do |tag| %>
<div class="form-group">
<strong><%= label_tag tag.to_s.titleize %></strong><br />
<%= f.text_field "#{tag.to_s.singularize}_list".to_sym, :placeholder => "Comma-separated list of #{tag.to_s}", class: 'form-control' %>
</div>
<% end %>
Every time I reload the edit page, the input value somehow removes the commas from the already-present tags, so the text field looks like this:
<input id="article_country_list" class="form-control" type="text" name="article[country_list]" value="China U.S.A." placeholder="Comma-separated list of countries">
instead of having value="China, U.S.A."
as it should be.
Here is my model, article.rb:
class Article < ActiveRecord::Base
acts_as_taggable_on :people, :cities, :countries, :other
end
Any help would be much appreciated :)
Thanks!
