PaperTrailViewer

Browse changes to records when using Ruby on Rails and the paper_trail gem.

Installation

Add paper_trail_viewer to your bundle and add the following line to your config/routes.rb:

mount PaperTrailViewer::Engine => '/changes'

You can pick any path. Restart the server and go to the chosen path to view your versions.

To limit access to this view, do something like:

authenticate :user, ->*{ |u| u.superadmin? } do
  mount PaperTrailViewer::Engine => '/changes'
end

Configuration

Put configuration in config/initializers/paper_trail_viewer.rb.

E.g. for linking (or not) to the whodunnit user with a custom path helper:

PaperTrailViewer.user_path_method = :admin_path # default is :user_path
PaperTrailViewer.user_path_method = nil # don't link to the user
