tstamp

tstamp

Type: string (field name)
Path: $GLOBALS['TCA'][$table]['ctrl']
Scope: Proc.

Field name, which is automatically updated to the current timestamp (UNIX-time in seconds) each time the record is updated/saved in the system.

By convention the name tstamp is used for that field.

Note

The database field configured in this property is created automatically. It does not have to be added to the ext_tables.sql.

Examples

The following fields are set by the DataHandler automatically on creating or updating records, if they are configured in the ctrl section of the TCA:

EXT:my_extension/Configuration/TCA/tx_myextension_domain_model_mytable.php

<?php

return [
    'ctrl' => [
        'tstamp' => 'tstamp',
        'crdate' => 'crdate',
        'cruser_id' => 'cruser_id',
        'origUid' => 't3_origuid',
        // ...
    ],
];
