ActsAsCallbackLogger
This plugin is extracted from several applications where we just wanted to log callback events (after_create, after_update, after_destroy) for certain models tracking various things that users did within the application.
1) To use the plugin, you must first have a table that you would like to use for logging.
That table must have the three columns "msg", "data" and "restored_at". An example would be:
create_table :app_logs do |t|
...
t.column :msg, :string, :null => false
t.column :data, :text
t.column :restored_at, :datetime
...
end
2) In the model for that table add “acts_as_callback_logger”. For example:
class AppLog < ActiveRecord::Base
...
acts_as_callback_logger
...
end
3) In the model you want to log actions for add “log_callbacks”. For example:
class Program < ActiveRecord::Base
...
log_callbacks
...
end
