Hi all, I have one timestamp field working fine on the modification page. Now what I want to do is that I have two groups of users, User A and User B. I would like to have a timestamp for User A whenever User A modify's a record, and another timestamp for User B whenever User B modify's a record. So basically two timestamps, one for User A, and another for User B. User A cannot change timestamp of User B and User B cannot change the timestamp of User A.

Any help would be really great.

Thanks

Please, need help!

You may need to provide more information as far as your setup to allow more than 1 person to modify a record. Are you using the permissions mod to setup user A and B or do these people both just have admin rights?

Have you searched the forum or FAQ for "timestamp" or "modify record" to see if you could find a solution? I'm pretty sure Kellner provided some coding awhile ago for something similiar to what you are trying to do.

There are instructions for adding a field for who last modified a record but this would just add the user who last modified the record:

If you have a field called "LastModifiedBy"

In html.pl, sub html_modify_form_record, just after the line that starts with

if (!%rec) { &html_modify_failure(

add

$rec{'LastModifiedBy'} = $db_userid;

Hi, yes i'm using permission mod for User A and User B. They can view, modify and logoff. Basically, I have two timestamp fields in default.cgi. "Time_Stamp1" for user A and "Time_Stamp2" for user B and default value is set to &get_time. What I want to do is, whenever user A modifies a record, it should get the current time and store it in "Time_Stamp1" and whenever user B modifies the same record, it should get the current time and store it in "Time_Stamp2" leaving the "Time_Stamp1" field without changing it. But for some reason, it is just storing only by the user who has last modified it. I have looked over other sites for help, but it wansn't quite helpful. Basically, I want two different time stamps for a particular record.


Thanks

This is the thread which I thought provided the solution but it was just for tracking the last modified, but it has references to code for tracking all modifications.
