I have some fields in some custom tables (createdon, createdby, editedon, editedby) that I want to update whenever the record is saved.
I was thinking that rather than adding a beforesave call or event for each processor, would it be better to add the code to my model class that extends xPDOSimpleObject to do something like this?
or is there a better way to put this code in one place and not duplicate in several locations?
class myTable extends xPDOSimpleObject {
function save($cacheFlag= null) {
if ($this->isNew()) {
$user = $this->modx->user->get('id');
$this->set('createdby',$user);
$this->set('createdon',strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'));
}
$user = $this->modx->user->get('id');
$this->set('editedby',$user);
$this->set('editedon',strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'));
return parent::save($cacheFlag);
}
}
