Unintuitive behavior related to tag separators
Reported by eksatx | July 1st, 2009 @ 06:20 PM
See http://groups.google.com/group/communityengine/browse_thread/thread... for more discussion.
Tagging something: OneWord,Two Words
results in three tags: OneWord, Two, Words
Also, in the text field (for New and Edit actions), the tag list is displayed like this:
OneWord+ Two+ Words
This behavior is nonintuitive and many of my users have reported being confused by it.
Changing tag_list.rb like this:
-self.delimiter = /+|,| /
+self.delimiter = ','
appears to make things work better.
Tagging something: OneWord,Two Words
results in two tags: OneWord,Two Words
and is displayed in edit fields as OneWord, Two Words
However, there must be more to it than this.
- Making this change causes 10 tests to fail.
- This is actually the default setting when you install AATOS. It appears that you made this change along with some other changes in this commit: b42612e.
It appears that the current way things work was done to achieve something specific related to fixing multi-word tags, but it is not clear exactly what.
I don't mind helping try to solve this one, but I don't want to waste time undoing something that you did intentionally.
Let me know what I can do to help.

I took a closer look at the tests and saw that they only fail because they are using a space as a tag separator. If I change tests to only use a comma as a tag separator (tag_list="tag1,tag2") then they all pass fine.
