customizable table names

[mizukami234]

background & why

I'm working on a Rails project which has own tags table.
In order to implement a new feature in my project, I need a new, independent tagging system, which AATO is suitable for. But I couldn't install it because duplicate table exists. So I forked this gem to make table names customizable.

implementation

you can simply specify in config:

ActsAsTaggableOn.tags_table = 'aato_tags'
ActsAsTaggableOn.taggings_table = 'aato_taggings'

Can you update the readme and the changelog ?

Thank you for reviewing.

@mizukami234 do you mind squashing the commits ? The first commits are not linked to your account.

@seuros
The first commits are actually not mine, added by @junmoka . They're not linked to him, but he said he didn't mind that.

I'm trying to implement this but I'm having problems with the models not using the correct table.
this is what I have

# config/initializers/act_as_taggable_on.rb
ActsAsTaggableOn.tags_table = 'aato_tags'
ActsAsTaggableOn.taggings_table = 'aato_taggings'

When calling ActsAsTaggableOn.tags_table on the rails console I'm getting the correct table name but when calling ActsAsTaggableOn::Tag.table_name I'm getting :tags

I think the problem is that the models are loaded before the configuration is set.
How and when are you calling the ActsAsTaggableOn.tags_table = 'aato_tags'?

I made this changes and it is now working for me.

I can make a PR if you think this is the way to fix it

Why hasn't Adrian2112's pull request already been merged into master?

This would have saved me hours and hours of debugging and digging into Activerecord's name guessing.

Until this is done, you can patch it through an initializer:

# config/initializers/act_as_taggable_on.rb
ActsAsTaggableOn::Configuration.class_eval do
  def tags_table=(tags_table)
    ActsAsTaggableOn::Tag.table_name = tags_table
    @tags_table = tags_table
  end

  def taggings_table=(taggings_table)
    ActsAsTaggableOn::Tagging.table_name = taggings_table
    @taggings_table = taggings_table
  end
end

ActsAsTaggableOn.tags_table = 'aato_tags'
ActsAsTaggableOn.taggings_table = 'aato_taggings'
