Date stamp?

[Christine]

I have figured out the hooks I need to write a datestamp to the database when a signature is submitted, but the date is writing as 0.

Anyone know what the problem may be?


Hook: userdata_start

PHP Code:

$this->validfields['sigdateline'] = array(TYPE_UNIXTIME, REQ_NO); 


Hook: profile_updatesignature_complete

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('p', 'sigdateline', TYPE_UNIXTIME); 

$userdata->usertextfield['sigdateline']= " . TIMENOW . ";

sigdateline is in which table usertextfield?

Then you need another Plugin

userdata_doset

PHP Code:

if ($fieldname == 'sigdateline')
{
$tables = array('usertextfield');
} 


Also, you should use $userdata->set('sigdateline', TIMENOW); rather tan directly setting the table fields

Thanks Kirby!

I didn't see this post before trying something else:

PHP Code:

$userdata->usertextfield['sigdateline']=TIMENOW; 


That worked with the original userdata_start addition.

Will that be OK, or is there a potential problem with it?

[Andreas]

It will work, but by using this code you are effectively bypassing the Datamanager, therefore it is not recommended.

Gotcha!

Thanks Kirby. Don't know what we would do without you.
