Profile Update – Update timestand

[bisrael]

I have several Profile Update forms and I would like to record (as meta-data) the date/time on which a user used the form to update their Profile information. Can you tell me where/how I can hook into my profile update form to cause the date/time of the update to be saved with the profile form data?

I need the date/time to be hidden from the user.

Thanks in advance.

In the event someone else is looking for this solution, here’s what worked for me.

in functions.php, I added this code

function addTimestampField( $user_id ) {
if (is_page(‘1786′)) {
update_user_meta( $user_id, ’emerg_contact_update_timestamp’, date(‘d/m/Y H:i:s’) );
}
elseif (is_page(‘1784’)) {
update_user_meta( $user_id, ‘personal_info_update_timestamp’, date(‘d/m/Y H:i:s’) );
}
else {
update_user_meta( $user_id, ‘update_timestamp’, date(‘d/m/Y H:i:s’) );
}
}
add_action( ‘user_register’, ‘addTimestampField’ );
add_action( ‘edit_user_profile’, ‘addTimestampField’ );
add_action( ‘profile_update’, ‘addTimestampField’ );

The tests for page number allows me to identify which profile update form was uses so that I can update the appropriate meta timestamp.
