I found that when loggin destroy the latest values are not being saved to the database, hence to re-build the record to its latest state would require you to trail from create to destroy, which can be time consuming. To overcome this I changed:

def audit_destroy(user = nil)
         write_audit(:action => 'destroy', :user => user)
end

TO:

def audit_destroy(user = nil)
         write_audit(:action => 'destroy', :changes => audited_attributes, :user => user)
       end

I’m surprised that acts_as_audited was your plugin. It’ll probably make a guest appearance here at Bluefish.

I’m getting the following error when calling the

revisions

method on an audited object.

NoMethodError: undefined method `first' for Sun Jun 29 17:54:32 +0200 2008:Time

Am I the only one with this problem?

I vote to add Peter’s diff, which further enhances acts_as_audited to save a record’s attributes when it is deleted, and gives you an easy way to restore it, with the original id (e.g., Client.revive(2344)).

Hi Brandon,

Great plugin, thanks.

I just wonder how could I get the updated date/time of each revision?

e.g. i would like to show a revision history, then i have:

for rev in @article.revisions puts rev.version puts rev.updated_at end

but then updated_at always show the last revision’s timestamp.

Ryan,

Not really. You could retrieve a revision and just manually set the attributes. If you’d like to submit a patch, I’d be happy to accept it.

Is there a way to only revert certain attributes? If we have updated first and last name, can I accept the changed last name but not first name?

Hi Brandon,

Thanks for the plugin. It is exactly what I was looking for.

I was looking for information of maintaining an audit trail for a project I am working on and I stumbled upon your previous blog post.

Regards Surat

Ryan,

I’ll try to clean up the one that I have and post it. Stay tuned.

This is a great addition to my rails/ruby arsenal! I was wondering if anyone has developed a controller and view to display all of the revisions and possibly revert back to one?

I am trying to test the moves from one revision to the other in my functional tests and it seems like the models are not keeping all the changes, what am I supposed to do to make the test works?

A great plugin. Unfortunately it seems to have suffered on Edge rails as a result of the decision to make acts_as_list a plugin… even after installing the acts_as_list plugin one has to comment out line 14 of audit.rb in order to get the server to start…

Is there an easy fix? Thanks.

Would also love this to co-operate better with Globalize model translations.

Would be nice if you could retrieve a revision by date as well, since the audit table holds a created_at.

Here’s the relevant exception:

Hello, I’m trying to use acts_as_audited with ActiveScaffold (http://activescaffold.com) but for some reason, it pukes in the “after” filter in the caching.

If I comment out line 602 in vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action_controller/filters.rb it works great, but I’m guessing this is bad since cached objects won’t be invalidated or something…

Any suggestions?

Sigh, just an update. I got bogged down in my project (wife is pregnant, I have a good excuse) and wasn’t able to test the revisioning yet. But hopefully someone has… :)

w00t! Thanks very much. I commented on the original blog post about adding this feature. I will test it out as soon as I get a chance.

That’s funny.. I just looked over your old blog post and thought I could use this… :-) Thanks for your work.
