ActsAsConfigurable?

Hi there, does anyone kow of an existing "ActsAsConfigurable" type plugin?

I want to say;

class Organisation   acts_as_configurable :properties => {     :some_property => {:type => :boolean, :default => false}     } end

and then configure it by;

organisation.config_for(:some_property) # => false # the default organisation.set_config_for(:some_property, true)

rather than cluttering up all of my tables with boolean flags.

If not, then I'm going to build it anyway. So let me know if you're interested.

This is what I came up with;

class Organisation < ActiveRecord::Base   acts_as_configurable :some_property => {     :default => "left",     :options => ["left", "middle", "right"],     :description => "Where should we put something?"} end

then just;

organisation.some_property # uses the default if it has not been set organisation.some_property = "middle"

Will add support for Boolean attributes some time soon.
