log of users who download documents or files

Added by Schollii Tron almost 11 years ago

What would be easiest way of generating a log of [username, IP_address, date, filename] for a particular project? All of this information must already be available to redmine at the moment the user requests a document or file. Any plugin expert who could provide me with 10 second skeleton for a plugin that would do this, then I could figure out the rest (add missing code etc); or if the data is already available in some log files, I can easily create some scripts, just don't know where to look to start. Any guidance would be much appreciated.

hi,
Installing a plugin¶

1. Copy your plugin directory into #{RAILS_ROOT}/plugins (Redmine 2.x) or #{RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/plugins (Redmine 1.x). If you are downloading the plugin directly from GitHub, you can do so by changing into your plugin directory and issuing a command like git clone git://github.com/user_name/name_of_the_plugin.git.

2. If the plugin requires a migration, run the following command to upgrade your database (make a db backup before).

2.1. For Redmine 1.x:

rake db:migrate_plugins RAILS_ENV=production

2.2. For Redmine 2.x:

rake redmine:plugins:migrate RAILS_ENV=production

3. Restart Redmine

You should now be able to see the plugin list in Administration -> Plugins and configure the newly installed plugin (if the plugin requires to be configured).
Edit
Uninstalling a plugin

1. If the plugin required a migration, run the following command to downgrade your database (make a db backup before):

1.1. For Redmine 1.x:

rake db:migrate:plugin NAME=plugin_name VERSION=0 RAILS_ENV=production

1.2. For Redmine 2.x:

rake redmine:plugins:migrate NAME=plugin_name VERSION=0 RAILS_ENV=production

2. Remove your plugin from the plugins folder: #{RAILS_ROOT}/plugins (Redmine 2.x) or #{RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/plugins (Redmine 1.x)..

3. Restart Redmine

Thanks Paresh for the info. Currently I have a block of custom code in the AttachmentsController itself, the custom code just logs information from User.current, request and @attachment to log.info. But it would be nice to hook into the controller via a redmine- or rails- supported mechanism, rather than modify the .rb file. So I believe what I need is not a plugin, but a hook into the AttachmentsController. Unfortunately on the Plugin_Tutorial page the one section that has TODO is the "hook into controller" section :( Any info you know that might get me started on controller hooks?
