Is it possible to use the built-in LogEntry to track actions of every users not only in admin page?
Question:
I just recently knew about the built in LogEntry model in django, and I’ve tried to registered it in my admin page. What I want to happen is, for example, the admin added new User not using the django admin page but through the add page I made using some model forms in my site, how can i add data to LogEntry regarding that add action on my site? Thanks for your help!
Answers:
You can easily do that in outside the admin by creating a new LogEntry object each time a change is made
from django.contrib.admin.models import LogEntry, ADDITION, CHANGE # these are action flags from the docs
LogEntry.objects.log_action(
user_id=request.user.id,
content_type_id=ContentType.objects.get_for_model(model_object).pk,
object_repr=unicode(obj.title), #or any field you wish to represent here
object_id=obj.id,
message=message, # a new user has been added
action_flag=ADDITION) # assuming it's a new object
You can read more LogEntry module in the docs
There is much more information on this here
Easy Way!
from django.contrib.admin.models import LogEntry
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
et = datetime.now()
st = et + timedelta(days=-1)
LogEntry.objects.log_action(action_time__range=[st, et])
