Disable automatic timestamping of columns

Reported by Andy Atkinson | August 5th, 2008 @ 12:27 AM

As of ar-extensions 0.7, created_at and updated_at timestamp columns are automatically set to the current time.

This feature was mentioned in this posting:

http://groups.google.com/group/r...

In my situation I'm importing blog posts from a previous schema, and using CSV files to manage them. I would like to preserve the original created_at timestamp (updated_at is not useful in my context).

Please make auto-timestamping configurable so that it can disabled when using the ar-extensions "import" method.

ActiveRecord::Extension (aka ar-extensions) is a plugin to extend and
enhance the functionality of ActiveRecord. It starts by adding better
find support for ActiveRecord. It then adds mass data import
capabilities which are highly efficient and lastly it supports to_csv
functionality.

It also introduces a cool concept of creating easily extendable pieces
of ActiveRecord functionality, so developers don't have to understand
ActiveRecord internals or have the fear of breaking ActiveRecord
itself.
