Links “updated” field won’t update

    When I add a link through the links manager, the “updated” field in the links table gets recorded as “00000000000000”, so the updated date displays as Dec 31, 1969. This makes it impossible to sort by link updated.

    This is a recent install of 2.0.2 and I haven’t hacked any aspect of the installation.

    I solved my own problem, but thought I’d post in case anyone else runs into this.

    The “updated” field in the links table db was set to “datetime”, so I changed it’s type to “timestamp” and set the default value to “CURRENT_TIMESTAMP” using PHP myAdmin. This fixed my ability to use ‘_updated’ as the sort order for get_links().

    I’m not sure if this is bug in the WordPress installer or just my installation (I used cPanel Fantastico).
