I need to create a log entry for changes made by a user to the database via the views in my django application.
I have enabled the django-admin module and I can retrieve the logs of the changes made using the admin interface like this:
from django.contrib.admin.models import LogEntry from django.contrib.contenttypes.models import ContentType recentActions = LogEntry.objects.all() for each in recentActions: print 'Action:', each.action_flag.__str__() print 'Message:', each.object_repr print 'Table:', ContentType.objects.get(id = each.content_type_id).name I want to create similar log entries for actions done by other users using the views in my django application. How do I do this ?

Enter the username and password of the superuser you just created with the manage.py command to log in. Next, you will see the Django admin dashboard. The "User visit log" has already been added to the Admin. Click on the "User visits" link.
By default, the LOGGING setting is merged with Django's default logging configuration using the following scheme. If the disable_existing_loggers key in the LOGGING dictConfig is set to True (which is the dictConfig default if the key is missing) then all loggers from the default configuration will be disabled.
Whenever a user adds, deletes, or even changes an object in Django admin that action is recorded using a model called LogEntry in a table in the database called django_admin_log.
You're very close. You just need to create new LogEntry objects and save them. LogEntry has a shortcut function on objects to do this.
from django.contrib.admin.models import LogEntry, ADDITION, CHANGE LogEntry.objects.log_action( user_id=request.user.id, content_type_id=ContentType.objects.get_for_model(model_object).pk, object_id=object.id, object_repr=unicode(object.title), action_flag=ADDITION if create else CHANGE) If you love us?
