Question

I’m creating a “Related content” area on a website and using the acts-as-taggable-on gem to do this. Then in an article, it pulls in related content by keywords matches. The following code works well with find_related_keywords (NOTE: Putting all the logic in the View to simplify and make this work for now, will refactor appropriately later)

<% for related in @article.find_related_keywords.limit(5) %>
    # Markup for related item in here       
<% end %>

However, this only returns related content in the same model type, in this case, Article. I also have other models/tables like Reviews, Interviews, etc that also have a :keywords taggable field defined and would like those included in the find_related_keywords results. Is there a way to do this?

Answer 1

Have you tried:

Review.tagged_with(@article.category_list, :any => true).limit(5)

Interview.tagged_with(@article.category_list, :any => true).limit(5)
