    # The timestamps plugin creates hooks that automatically set create and
    # update timestamp fields.  Both field names used are configurable, and you 
    # can also set whether to overwrite existing create timestamps (false
    # by default), or whether to set the update timestamp when creating (also
    # false by default).

      # Configure the plugin by setting the avialable options.  Note that
      # if this method is run more than once, previous settings are ignored,
      # and it will just use the settings given or the default settings.  Options:
      # * :create - The field to hold the create timestamp (default: :created_at)
      # * :force - Whether to overwrite an existing create timestamp (default: false)
      # * :update - The field to hold the update timestamp (default: :updated_at)
      # * :update_on_create - Whether to set the update timestamp to the create timestamp when creating (default: false)
