disable_timestamps_for

Selectively disable timestamping on specific fields in an ActiveRecord model.

Basic Usage

Just add disable_timestamps_for to any of your ActiveRecord models and define the field or fields for which you would like to skip timestamping.

        class List < ActiveRecord::Base
                disable_timestamps_for :position
        end

        class ListItem < ActiveRecord::Base
                disable_timestamps_for [:position, :list_id]
        end

Rails will now disable timestamping on updates if these are the only fields that have changed.

Compatibility

Rails 2.1 + (uses dirty tracking)
