Logging or Audit Trail of administrative events

Posted by Wrath-BRIG- on August 13, 2009 at 11:45am

Hello! ^^

(Drupal 6.x)

I have been unsuccessful in finding a module that will display changes made by administrators. e.g. Changing of "Active/Blocked" status of users, permissions changes, role changes, etc. The core "Recent Log Entries" shows quite a number of event types, but not these types of events. Perhaps, I'm simply searching using the wrong terms. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance! ^^

I found some modules

But I didn't see one that fits your needs exactly:

http://drupal.org/project/activity_log
http://drupal.org/project/lockdown
http://drupal.org/project/node_access
http://drupal.org/project/paranoia
http://drupal.org/project/role_watchdog

Let me know if you decide to use one of these.

I saw these in the Security

I saw these in the Security section too. I already use the Node Access module on one of my sites... It works well on everything except for Advanced Polls. I still have to nail that down.

The Activity Log looks like it might do the trick if I were smart enough to figure out how. When a developer describes something as "simple, yet powerful", an admin like myself with limited programming experience will likely have a tough time making use of it. LOL I think I'll have a go at it though.

Thank you for your reply. ^^ Cheers!

Looks pretty simple (I'm a developer) :)). Go ahead and install the Activity log module, I think you will get along great with it. I think it's exactly what you need.

in core?

I reckon something like this should be in core: http://drupal.org/node/599748
