Abstract
A logging plugin for CakePHP. The included AuditableBehavior
creates an audit history for each instance of a model to which it's attached.
The behavior tracks changes on two levels. It takes a snapshot of the fully hydrated object after a change is complete and it also records each individual change in the case of an update action.
Features
- Support for CakePHP 2.0. Thanks, @jasonsnider.
- Tracks object snapshots as well as individual property changes.
- Allows each revision record to be attached to a source -- usually a user -- of responsibility for the change.
- Allows developers to ignore changes to specified properties. Properties named
created
,updated
andmodified
are ignored by default, but these values can be overwritten. - Handles changes to HABTM associations.
- Fully compatible with the
PolymorphicBehavior
. - Does not require or rely on the existence of explicit models revisions (
AuditLog
) and deltas (AuditLogDeltas
).
Installation
CakePHP >= 2.0
As an Archive
- Download and extract the source to
app/Plugin/AuditLog
.
As a Submodule
$ git submodule add git://github.com/imsamurai/CakePHP-Audit-Log-Plugin.git <path_to>/app/Plugin/AuditLog
$ git submodule init
$ git submodule update
Via composer
- add into your composer "require": { "imsamurai/audit-log": "1.1.*", }
composer update
To create tables you can use schema shell. To create tables execute:
cd <path_to>/app/
chmod +x ./Console/cake
./Console/cake schema create -p AuditLog
CakePHP 1.3.x
For use with CakePHP 1.3.x, be sure to use code from the 1.3
branch and follow the instructions in that README file (NOT MAINTAINED).
Next Steps
-
Run the
install.sql
file on your CakePHP application database or use schema. This will create theaudits
andaudit_deltas
tables that will store each object's relevant change history. -
Add plugin into
bootstrap.php
CakePlugin::load('AuditLog', array('bootstrap' => true));
-
Create a
currentUser()
method, if desired.The
AuditableBehavior
optionally allows each changeset to be "owned" by a "source" -- typically the user responsible for the change. Since user and authentication models vary widely, the behavior supports a callback method that should return the value to be stored as the source of the change, if any.The
currentUser()
method must be available to every model that cares to track a source of changes, so I recommend that a copy of CakePHP'sapp_model.php
file be created and the method added there. Keep it DRY, right?The behavior expects the
currentUser()
method to return an associative array with anid
key. Continuing from the example above, the following code might appear in theAppModel
:public function currentUser() { return AuthComponent::user(); }
-
Attach the behavior to any desired model and configure.
Usage
AuditableBehavior
Applying the AuditableBehavior
to a model is essentially the same as applying any other CakePHP behavior. The behavior does offer a few configuration options:
- `ignore`
- An array of property names to be ignored when records are created in the deltas table.
- `habtm`
- An array of models that have a HABTM relationship with the acting model and whose changes should be monitored with the model. If the HABTM model is auditable in its own right, don't include it here. This option is for related models whose changes are _only_ tracked relative to the acting model.
AuditHelper
user(user)
render user name with link to user profile (see configAuditLog.User
)listBlock(conditions, ajax)
render widget with compact table of audit logs depends onconditions
andajax
. Second parameter means that widget will be loaded by ajax or request action (default is ajax). This method simply invoke actionAuditController::index
withlist=1
andconditions
(alsocount=<count>
if it set).
AuditController
For filter by date you can use all formats (single or range) that constructor of DateTime
can understand. For example:
2014/11/05 TO 2014/11/06
- will be range from 05.11.2014 00:00:00 to 06.11.2014 00:00:002014/11/05 01:02:20 TO 2014/11/06 15:02:21
- from 05.11.2014 01:02:20 to 06.11.2014 15:02:2105.11.2014 01:02:20 to 06.11.2014 15:02:21
- from 05.11.2014 01:02:20 to 06.11.2014 15:02:212014/11/05
- from 05.11.2014 00:00:00 to 05.11.2014 23:59:592014/11/05 03:40:21
- date must be equals to 05.11.2014 03:40:21
Hint: you can use bootstrap daterange picker for this field.
Syntax
# Simple syntax accepting default options class Task extends AppModel { public $actsAs = array( 'AuditLog.Auditable' ); # # Additional model code. # } # Syntax with explicit options class Task extends AppModel { public $actsAs = array( 'AuditLog.Auditable' => array( 'ignore' => array( 'active', 'name', 'updated' ), 'habtm' => array( 'Type', 'Project' ) ) ); # # Additional model code. # }
Limitations
- The master branch is not backwards compatible with CakePHP <=1.3.x. If you need compatibility with these version please install the code from the
1.3
branch and follow the instructions in that README.
