Topic: what to use? (tagging)

Hi.  My website integrates google maps and I would like to have the markers categorize.  I want to be able to filter the markers based on the category they are from a drop down menu.  Would using act as taggable plugin/gem enable me to do this or should I try my original option by creating a scaffold and linking it to the model?

I would like to assign multiple categories to each marker, which I think only act as taggable would do.

Re: what to use? (tagging)

acts_as_taggable has a method that you can find useful in your case

Photo.find_tagged_with :any => [ 'wine', 'whisky' ]

have a look at the docs

I believe Evan Weaver's has_many_polymorphs plugin is an improved version of acts_as_taggable.
