Saving and updating the CakePHP model without changing the `created` and` modified` fields

Question

Can any authority indicate how to save and update the database table using the save function of the model without changing the created and modified fields in cakephp 2 ..

Answer 1

If you do not want to update the field changed while saving some data, add

 'modified' => false 

to the array $ data p>

Hope this helps

Example:

 $this->request->data['YourModel']['modified'] = false; 

Answer 2

The documentation states that setting 'modified' to false will save the modified date. However, I found that this causes the Save call to fail without any indication of what is wrong. Using unset in a modified value seems to work.

 unset( $this->request->data['YourModel']['modified'] );
