Hey Cal, This looks like a great tool. I know I've implemented code like this in another project. I was planning on doing a field change audit module for an application I'm currently working on. I will definitely look at django-cutemodel and see if it works for what I need, and how I can contribute. My current project is a time clock system for human resources to manage hourly workers. We need field change auditing for security, we need the ability to produce reports from it, and ability to restore from audit history (in case of record tampering). Basically, all actions are logged and nothing is deleted or over-written. When changes are made, the original record is marked as a parent archive. The modified record is a dup of the parent, but with the changes.
Anyway, I'm rambling. If you would like to chat about this let me know. I will update this group, or contact you when I start working on the change audit code Kurt Pruhs Utah State University Programing & Design Team On Monday, September 10, 2012 1:43:17 PM UTC-6, Cal Leeming [Simplicity Media Ltd] wrote: > > Hi guys, > > We have just released a new module that allows for lightweight/easy > relational event logging and auditing field changes. > > Our use case was to satisfy four main requirements; > > * Log events directly from models, whilst keeping a relational link to the > row that triggered the event > * Keep track of field changes (storing the old/new value). > * Provide a scalable/easy to use API that allowed access to this > information > * Ensure module was a drop-in replacement (only change required is to > subclass CuteModel) > > The code itself has been dragged out of our existing projects, cleaned up > slightly, and released as open source. > > Full documentation and source code has been made available here: > https://github.com/foxx/django-cutemodel > > Particular care has been made to ensure the code is able to scale up to > many millions of rows, and we have not yet had any issues. > > In future, we'd love to add some extra features and do a bit more tidy up > - so any testing/feedback/features suggestions/comments would be > appreciated. > > Cheers > > Cal > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
