The only difference is that I have implemented the following pull request https://github.com/cakebake/yii2-actionlog/pull/3/commits

Yii2 Action Log

Automatically logs user actions like create, update, delete. In addition, you can manually apply the method ActionLog::add('Save sample message'), where you will need.

Installation

The preferred way to install this extension is through composer.

Either run

php composer.phar require --prefer-dist cakebake/yii2-actionlog "*"

or add

"cakebake/yii2-actionlog": "*"

to the require section of your composer.json file.

Database Migration

Check your database settings and run migration from your console:

php yii migrate --migrationPath=@vendor/cakebake/yii2-actionlog/migrations

For more informations see Database Migration Documentation

Configuration

To access the module, you need to add this to your application configuration:

......
'modules' => [
    'actionlog' => [
        'class' => 'cakebake\actionlog\Module',
    ],
],
......

Add the new menu item to your navbar:

......
['label' => 'Log', 'url' => ['/actionlog/log/index']],
......

You may have to customize the user rights for the access log view. You could do it by editing controllers/LogController.php.

Example manual usage

This is an example in the login method from the module cakebake/yii2-accounts.

use cakebake\actionlog\model\ActionLog;

......
public function login()
{
    $user = $this->getUser();
    if ($this->validate()) {
        ActionLog::add('success', $user->id); //log message for success

        return Yii::$app->user->login($user, $this->rememberMe ? 3600 * 24 * 30 : 0);
    } else {
        ActionLog::add('error', $user->id); //log message for error

        return false;
    }
}
......
