I took a look at the loggable behavoir but I wasn't sure where the $activeUser information was to be put.
I have done the following: 1. added the logable.php behavour to the models / behavour folder 2. Created a logs table with required feilds. 3. Added the following into my beforefilter in the AppController if (sizeof($this->uses) && $this->{$this->modelClass}->Behaviors- >attached('Logable')) { $this->{$this->modelClass}->setUserData($this->activeUser); } 4. Add the following into the AppController var $actsAs = array('Logable' => array('userModel' => 'User', 'userKey' => 'user_id')); Is this right so far and also where does the active user info go?
