Hi folks,

A number of actions are logged in table gibbonLog. However, it seems there’s no tool or query available in Gibbon to actually make use of this data.

Am I missing something?

Kind regards,  
Roman

Hi Roman,

You are correct that at current there is no interface for interrogating the log, other than going straight into the database. This is something we intended to build, but did not get around to. Is this something you might have some interest in looking into? I’d be happy to share some ideas for getting started, and with @ross’s refactored tables and new gateways it should not be too tricky.

Cheers,

Ross

Interest? Yes. Time? Hmmm. 🙂

Hi Roman, that feeling is mutual! I guess for now we’ll have to stick with database access, but I’ll see if I can build something simple into v20. Cheers! Ross.

Hi Roman, found some time to put this together today. Check out the PR below, which Sandra will review at some point. You get a mention by name ; )

[https://github.com/GibbonEdu/core/pull/1035](https://github.com/GibbonEdu/core/pull/1035)

It’ll be in v20 when we release on June 20th 2020. Many 20s!

Cheers,

Ross

Hi Romain,

#1035 has been merged into Gibbon and tweaked, and now seems to be running pretty well.

Cheers,

Ross

Hi Ghulam, this is interesting. I wonder if this is to do with the timezone setting on your server. Can you please confirm the server timezone and your own time zone? Thanks!

Hi @odihamdalaye Even if the timezone is correct, sometimes the server time may need checked and updated. If you go into the console for your server and type the **date** command, do you see the accurate time?
