You seem to be asking for a full history 'system'. I think the Admin history
exists to show a bit of history with a link to go back to the change form where
it happened.Full history needs to be specified fairly carefully so it doesn't
bog the system down. For example, every write costs a performance hit. Also,
how resilient must it be to cope with database schema changes? How is it going
to be used in practice? What are the benefits and are they worth the effort. I
have worked through some of this in my current project and decided to create
separate 'mirror' tables for only the critical information and automate data
collection for others in a plain text field for archival.It can be quite open
ended and might reward very aggressive specification.CheersMike--(Unsigned mail

you seen the Admin history? Might be already logged for you.Thanks, this is
useful, but it does not seem to be logging everything. We have a custom user
admin page that updates a few models in addition to User: UserInfo,
UserExtendProduct, and UserRole. If I add a new user I see
this:+-----------+-------------+-------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+-----------------+---------+|
object_id | object_repr | action_flag | change_message
| content_type_id | user_id
|+-----------+-------------+-------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+-----------------+---------+|
3 | x | 1 | [{"added": {}}, {"added": {"name":
"user info", "object": "x"}}, {"added": {"name": "user extend product",
"object": "x"}}] | 4 | 1
|+-----------+-------------+-------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+-----------------+---------+It
shows that a row in User, UserInfo, and UserExtendProdct were added, but it
does not show what was added to the latter 2, and it does not show that rows
were added to UserRole.When I modify a user and cause UserRole to be updated I
see
this:+-----------+-------------+-------------+----------------+-----------------+---------+|
object_id | object_repr | action_flag | change_message | content_type_id |
user_id
|+-----------+-------------+-------------+----------------+-----------------+---------+|
3 | x | 2 | [] | 4 |
1
|+-----------+-------------+-------------+----------------+-----------------+---------+No
info about that row being added. If I cause a row in UserRole to be deleted I
get the exact same entry, so I cannot distinguish between an add and a delete
and I can't see what was added or deleted. But if I cause a row in UserInfo or
UserExtendProduct to be added I see
this:+-----------+-------------+-------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+-----------------+---------+|
object_id | object_repr | action_flag | change_message
| content_type_id | user_id
|+-----------+-------------+-------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+-----------------+---------+|
3 | x | 1 | [{"added": {}}, {"added": {"name":
"user info", "object": "x"}}, {"added": {"name": "user extend product",
"object": "x"}}] | 4 | 1
|+-----------+-------------+-------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+-----------------+---------+Shows
an add, but not what was added.So my questions are:-how can I get it to show
the details of what was added or changed-why are updates to UserInfo and
UserExtendProduct shown, but updates to UserRole are not?Thanks!--------

admin accesses Is there a way to capture all admin changes (add, change,
delete). I have some middleware that gets called on any admin add, change, or
delete, but I have not figured out a way to capture specifically what was done,
something like: model, PK, action, e.g. user, 12, change, first name
changeduser, 15, adduser, 24, deleteI am looking for something generic that
will work for all models under admin control
