# the mapped database table.

# Todo list example:
#
# class TodoList < ActiveRecord::Base
# has_many :todo_items, :order => "position"
# end
#
# class TodoItem < ActiveRecord::Base

# Configuration options are:
#
# * +column+ - specifies the column name to use for keeping the position integer (default: position)
# * +scope+ - restricts what is to be considered a list. Given a symbol, it'll attach "_id"
# (if that hasn't been already) and use that as the foreign key restriction. It's also possible
# to give it an entire string that is interpolated if you need a tighter scope than just a foreign key.
# Example: acts_as_list :scope => 'todo_list_id = #{todo_list_id} AND completed = 0'
