Date_Checked not updating for user submitted links
Hi

Apologies if this is covered in another thread.

I'm setting up a site (Glinks version 3.3.0) and manually added links via the admin pages automatically updates the current Date_Checked timestamp (ie. 2010-05-03 12:34:27) but with user submitted links, that are manually approved, the Date_Checked remains NULL.

Have setup an rss page that's using this value for the pubDate.

When is Date_Checked updated? Is there a step I'm missing to get the value to update?

btw I haven't done a Build All yet.


Thanks

Charlie

I think Date_Checked is only use when you do a "Check link status" (i.e looking for links that are dead/giving bad statuses)

That makes sense, cheers Andy.

Date_Checked is not really appropriate for rss in it's current form.

Could either update the validate part of Glinks to update Date_Checked or try changing the modified date to include hours mins and seconds.

Thanks.

Why not use the TimeStmp field? Thats the last time the record was modified (or added) ... so just treat it as a UNIX timestamp (in seconds, so pretty simple to get what you want out of it :))

Timestmp is too erratic from what I can see, some of the links in mysqlman are showing null data for timestmp, 0000-00 etc. It also doesn't match up with the last modified time. Have got a load of links that have the exact same Timestmp time to the second.

I think getting Date_Checked to update on manual validate may be the best option for this site, just have to get Fileman working now ;)

Cheers
