You could have a look at Marty Alchin's Pro Django (not really for
beginners but ...) on page 263 where he shows how to do almost exactly
what you describe. If you got that book it would accelerate your
progress in Django anyway. The only downside is it was published in 2008
and Django has moved on since then - but in a good way. Largely backward
compatible. It is probably still all relevant and very valuable.

Hi all Django users,
I'm quite new to Django and currently experimenting with the database
model. Defining fields appears to be quite intuitive and is well
described in the documentation. However, I am looking into audit trail
functionalities. What that means to me. I have two tables, one is my
master data table (rooms) and one is my audit trail table for the
rooms table.
So I aim on two major things, first I would like to increment a field
"version" in my room-table to track any change on the table record.
Inserting the record means version=1 and as soon as the record is
changed the field version should increment to 2 and so on.
Second thing would be to automatically track the changes from one
version to another in my audit trail table. So I am looking for a way
to automatically make table entries when I update the main table ...
My final goal is to define the audit trail functionalities in the
database models so it is forced on any record manipulation.
I hope I could describe my issues comprehensible and would be very
happy to get some feedback from you guys.
Thanks a lot and best regards,
enrico
