Creating a log for any changes in any model data i.e creation, updation and deletion??

[Abhishek Tiwari]

Hey everybody.. So i have been given a task to create a Activity Log page which shows the changes that have happened to any model data i.e either it is created or updated or deleted.

My solution is to create a Activity model and store the changes following way-

1- override the save method and delete method and then save in Activity model or

2- use signals and then save it the Activity model.

the Activity model right now contains only these fields-

performed_on,

performed_by,

type_of_operation- Creation, Updation, Deletion

Is there any other better way to achieve this??

I did this using Django signals. Here’s the documentation:

Hi.

Note that there are still ways to modify data withouth signals getting fired. Nor save or delete is called.
