Filament Activity Logger to show old and new values

Wirkhof · 2023-12-19T23:43:37.123Z

Right now I see only the new value. But I don't see the old one. Does it log only the new value that has been changed?

I am using this one https://filamentphp.com/plugins/z3d0x-logger

and it is not showing the old value. Only the new. I have tried updating the user's name many times but only see the newly updated name, not the original name it had before the change.

In the table column

properties

I see only this

{"name": "User Changed 3rd", "updated_at": "2023-12-20 00:35:37"}

{"name": "User Changed 3rd", "updated_at": "2023-12-20 00:35:37"}

WirkhofOP•12/19/23, 11:48 PM

I don't see any "old"

W

WirkhofOP•12/19/23, 11:48 PM

Why is that?

W

WirkhofOP•12/19/23, 11:49 PM

It should track even the old values, right?

W

WirkhofOP•12/19/23, 11:49 PM

Should. I try another activity logger? I see this one https://filamentphp.com/plugins/pxlrbt-activity-log

Will it work better?

WirkhofOP•12/19/23, 11:51 PM

According to docs it should return:

[
   'attributes' => [
        'name' => 'updated name',
        'text' => 'Lorum',
    ],
    'old' => [
        'name' => 'original name',
        'text' => 'Lorum',
    ],
];

[
   'attributes' => [
        'name' => 'updated name',
        'text' => 'Lorum',
    ],
    'old' => [
        'name' => 'original name',
        'text' => 'Lorum',
    ],
];

[
   'attributes' => [
        'name' => 'updated name',
        'text' => 'Lorum',
    ],
    'old' => [
        'name' => 'original name',
        'text' => 'Lorum',
    ],
];

[
   'attributes' => [
        'name' => 'updated name',
        'text' => 'Lorum',
    ],
    'old' => [
        'name' => 'original name',
        'text' => 'Lorum',
    ],
];

Why the json in the db doesn't have old ?

W

WirkhofOP•12/20/23, 11:14 AM

OK, so this seems to be intentional.

I believe you can only enable and disable what is logged. Based on dev response, you should publish spatie package config file and then change things there

You have a few options if you want to show old & new properties

1) Replace

\Z3d0X\FilamentLogger\Loggers\ResourceLogger::class

\Z3d0X\FilamentLogger\Loggers\ResourceLogger::class

with your own logger (you can see this file for the current implementation https://github.com/Z3d0X/filament-logger/blob/main/src/Loggers/AbstractModelLogger.php)

2) in the

filament-logger.php

filament-logger.php

config file disable the https://github.com/Z3d0X/filament-logger/blob/main/config/filament-logger.php#L9. Then use configure your models for using the base spatie's activity log package https://spatie.be/docs/laravel-activitylog/v2/advanced-usage/logging-model-events

@ZedoX Do I need to uninstall/rollback your plugin before installing Denis Koch's activity logger? Or could I have both running at the same time?
