Re: Is it possible to add any date for saving in beforeSave method in app_controller.php

You'd be better off doing it from the Model, and would only have to do the save once.  From the controller, and using saveField(), you now have two saves happening.. one for your original data, and the other for the modified_by / created_by fields.

Also, if you put it in the model, then the logic goes where ever the model goes, especially if it gets refactored into a plugin.  In the controller, the user would need remember to add this in everytime an application wanted to use that plugin.

The original poster might be looking at the app controller, so he doesn't have to update 23 models with essentially the same code.  I would recommend looking at Behaviors.  Write a behaviour to set those fields on the beforeSave, then attach that behaviour to all the models that require it.

Why not from the controller? Sure from model makes more sense but you can still do it from the controller

 

$this->alias->saveField()

Please ignore previous reply-

You cannot do save these fields from app controller rather than you can do it from app_model.

override beforeSave function and modify query for changed_by and modified_by
