undefined local variable or method `acts_as_taggable'

[matenia]

I have included this as a plugin and put acts_as_taggable in my Post model, however still get the error undefined local variable or method `acts_as_taggable' do I have to include the original acts_as_taggable gem in my environment? I have scoured the web and found alot of mentions of this error but no solution. any ideas?

Please try asking on the Rails mailing list. You could also try the plugin acts_as_taggable_on.

I managed to fix it by doing the following, which is sort of ok but not how it should be.

I performed the task gem install acts_as_taggable_on_steroids then did require 'acts_as_taggable_on_steroids' in the environment.rb file after the "end" tag and it got me past the first hurdle of having the definition of acts_as_taggable_on moving on from here.
