[prashantnirgun]

Hi friends I am new to base model deleted_by & deleted_at is not functioning properly null value is updated can anybody help whats wrong in my code.

class Article_model extends MY_Model{
//should i kept it before OR after ?
public $after_delete = array( 'delete_timestamps' );
protected $soft_delete = TRUE;
//my column name is deleted_by such case still i have to mentioned or its optional
protected $deleted_by_key = 'deleted_by';

protected function delete_timestamps($article)
{
$article['deleted_at'] = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
return $article;
}
}

//Controller
class Test extends CI_Controller {
$this->load->model('article_model');
$this->article_model->delete(11);
}

yeh I do agree with after_delete but then it is giving error
Message: Cannot use a scalar value as an array

[michail1982]

$this->_database->delete($this->_table); and $this->_database->update($this->_table, array( $this->soft_delete_key => TRUE )); return scalar values instate of row_data

you can use $before_delete to add $this->_database->set('deleted_at',date('Y-m-d H:i:s'));

Thanks Michail somehow the error message gone. Now still its not updating time stamp and deleted_by
I believe soft delete feature has in built functionality to handle this column. I can play around and managed to update the values in column. Since this is going to happened for every column than its very serious and has to find out whats going wrong?

Anybody can share tar the working code ?
