#make_like_a_tree(options = {}) ⇒ Object

An acts_as_threaded on steroids. Configuration options are:

  • root_column - specifies the column name to use for identifying the root thread, default “root_id”

  • parent_column - specifies the column name to use for keeping the position integer, default “parent_id”

  • left_column - column name for left boundary data, default “lft”

  • right_column - column name for right boundary data, default “rgt”

  • depth - column name used to track the depth in the branch, default “depth”

  • scope - adds an additional contraint on the threads when searching or updating
