1. You have to create a Trait that uses the "HistoryLog" trait and implement the "getUserId" abstract method.

```
use Andrewboy\HistoryLog\Traits\HistoryLogTrait;

trait MyHistoryLogTrait{

    use HistoryLogTrait;

    /**
     * Get the logged users' ID
     * @return integer | null On success user ID
     */
    public function getUserId()
    {
        ...
    }
