    <p>I spent all my time yesterday trying to get ANY Rails tagging plugin to work. While installation was straightforward, I have to say the amount of documentation on how to use any of these plugins was dismal at best...</p> <p>For the record, I tried:</p> <p>is_taggable acts_as_taggable_on acts_as_taggable_on_steroids acts_as_taggable_redux</p> <p>In every instance, the documentation consisted of something like this:</p> <ol> <li>install</li> <li><strong><em>undefined magic</em></strong> &lt;---(This is where I fell over, What do I put in my Models, Views and Controllers to make your awesome plugin work? Please tell me!)</li> <li>Check out all these cool features!</li> </ol> <p>With all of the plugins, I'd ended up dealing with errors like:</p> <pre><code>NoMethodError in ItemsController#create undefined method `tag_list=' for #&lt;Item:0x47fe848&gt; </code></pre> <p>I looked up the issues raised on the respective plugin's websites and found that I'm definitely not the only one with these issues. But author support/explanation was not forthcoming even though most of these issues had been raised a while back.</p> <p>I understand that if I was some kind of Rails guru I could probably get the plugin to work. But I'm not. In my frustration I've decided to just roll my own tagging implementation which seems stupid considering there's so many plugins for tagging available out there...</p> <p>I also have to say I'm a bit concerned that most of these plugins haven't been maintained in a while. Which makes me wonder if they'll be brought over to Rails 3.</p> <p>If anyone knows of a tagging plugin for Rails that really works and is easy to implement, please let me know (and if you could point me to a decent tutorial I will give you my undying gratitude as well as some amazing pieces of fluff I found in my pocket just then...)</p> <p>Otherwise, let this be a plea from all those beginner/intermediate Rails programmers out there to the Rails gods who make and maintain plugins... "We love your work, but please, please provide more documentation!"</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
