LogAction CakePHP Plugin
========================

[](#logaction-cakephp-plugin)

Version 8, by [J. Miller](http://github.com/jmillerdesign)

This will monitor specified fields in your database for changes. It will log the before and after values of changes, as well as the user\_id that made the change.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

1. Run the following command to create the database table log\_actions.

    cake schema create --plugin LogAction
2. Load the plugin in Config/bootstrap.php

    CakePlugin::load('LogAction');
3. Add the behavior to the model(s) you want to monitor, and specify the fields to monitor. If you don't specify fields, then it will monitor all fields.

    public $actsAs = array( 'LogAction.LogAction' => array( 'fields' => array('title', 'body'), 'trackDelete' => false ) );

TODO
----

[](#todo)

- Add support for AppModel, to monitor all fields in all tables, or specified fields on all tables
