Hi, In my user authentication I''d like to be able to register when a user last logged on to the system. I currently have an update_usage method in my model that sets a last_login field to Time.now() on successful login. The table also includes the updated_on field. Is there a way of ''touching'' a record so that the updated_on field is set even though no other record fields are updated? At the moment there is some unnecessary duplication. Thanks, Tobe --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
