#3693 new Enhancement

Update container entity's last_action on new entity creation.

Description

I was certain this happened previously but perhaps not.

I'm kind of unsure if this is the right approach but will put it out there anyway.

Should the container entity be updated when a new entity is created? For example: If I add a blog post within a group, should it not update the group entity?

In doing so it would be very easy to identify active groups/users. I haven't entirely thought this through so may have complications in doing so. Interested in thoughts on this.

  • Type changed from Defect to Enhancement

I was thinking about this as well recently. It seems to make sense that something would update on the container automatically just to show that it is active. There's even a field already in the database for this: last_action or something.

  • Milestone changed from Needs Review to Elgg 1.9
  • Summary changed from Update container entity on new entity creation. to Update container entity's last_action on new entity creation.

Exactly: last_action is meant to be used for this, but isn't fully supported by anything yet.

Perfect. Looking forward to that improvement in 1.9
