mongoid, set_table_name & attr_accessible

I'm using rails3 edge and mongoid 2beta6 with ruby 1.9.2-head.

How can I manually change the table name, just like set_table_name for ActiveRecord? For example my model Signup should use the table "users" for storage, not "signups".

Another question is how to implement the bevahior of attr_accessible AR provides?

Thanks, Corin

Pretty simple :)

Change:

class Pictures
  self.collection_name = 'photos'
end

To:

class Pictures
   store_in collection: 'photos'
end

With mongoid, as far as I know attr_accessible is ignored. Only attributes that you declare with field will be persisted, however if they are passed as an attribute, you can use attr_accessor to make sure those will not be persist (typically :password as an example).
