[quote author="Stolz" date="1338301630"]Thanks WanWizard, commenting out the $config['timestamp_format'] for using the DM default did the trick [/quote]

Just to echo what Stolz said about this. If you leave the 'timestamp_format' variable in the config file as an empty string (which is the case with the config file that you get when you download DataMapper), then the automatic created/updated timestamps won't work. You have to comment the line out -- or, manually set this to the correct timestamp format, which is probably "Y-m-d H:i O" for most users. (If you want to use BST, make sure that 'local_time' is set to TRUE as well).

This caught me out, because with previous versions of DataMapper, it was fine to leave this config value empty, and the default timestamp above was used. However, in the latest version, this is not the case. I don't think this is a bug as such -- more that the standard config file probably shouldn't set 'timestamp_format' to an empty string by default.

(Sorry -- only just noticed that WanWizard gives exactly this answer in the post above!).

Many many thanks as always to WanWizard for all his work. DataMapper is an absolutely fantastic tool -- I wouldn't build a site without it.
