This should be an easy one.

How can I make a field in a table auto update with the current logged in user after a record has been created/modified?

Thanks again and again and again!!!

I think I am looking for something like this...

Code: Select all

class tables_GENERAL {
    function beforeSave($record){
        $record->setValue('LastModifiedBy',
     //* I need the syntax to replace 'LastModifiedBy' with the current logged in username.
        );
    }
}

I use the following:

Code: Select all

function beforeInsert(&$record) {
    // Track creator
    $user =& getUser();
    $uid = getUserIDVal($user);
    if ( $uid ) {
        $record->setValue('creator', $uid);
        $record->setValue('modifier', $uid);
    }
}

Code: Select all

function beforeUpdate(&$record) {
    // Track modifier
    $user =& getUser();
    $uid = getUserIDVal($user);
    if ( $uid ) $record->setValue('modifier', $uid);
}
