Simply way to Add IP address

[Alan Viars]

All:

Does anyone one know of a simple way to add the request's IP address to the revisions just like user is added?

Best,

Alan

You can attach the request IP address to a revision using custom revision meta:

http://django-reversion.readthedocs.org/en/release-1.8/api.html#version-meta-data

You'll probably want to create your own middleware that adds the version meta data.

Any idea how to have this custom meta data to show up in the history. It doesnt show up by default and couldnt find much on that on Google search, SO or this forum.

thanks

To make the custom metadata show up in the admin history view, you will also have to add it to the comment using reversion.set_comment(). This is the easiest approach.

Alternatively, override the reversion/object_history.html template and add code to load and display the metadata from the database.

Ah yes, didnt think of that. Putting IP in comments works for me. Putting it in revision meta also, just in case I need to query by IP etc. later.
