This module tracks changes, additions, removals etc. of public (as in "not under admin") pages of your site. Like it's name says, it doesn't attempt to be a version control system or anything like that - just a log of what's happened. At the moment it's still a work in progress and will most likely be a victim of many ruthless this-won't-work-let's-try-that-instead cycles, but I believe I've nailed basic functionality well enough to post it here.. so, once again, I'll be happy to hear any comments you folks can provide https://modules.processwire.com/modules/process-changelog/ https://github.com/teppokoivula/ProcessChangelog How does it work? Exactly like it's (sort of) predecessor, Process Changelog actually consists of two modules: Process Changelog and Process Changelog Hooks. Hooks module exists only to serve main module by hooking into various functions within Pages class, collecting data of performed operations, refining it and keeping up a log of events in it's own custom database table (process_changelog.) Visible part is managed by Process Changelog, which provides users a (relatively) pretty view of the contents of said log table. How do you use it? When installed this module adds new page called Changelog under Admin > Setup which provides you with a table view of collected data and basic filtering tools See attached screenshots to get a general idea about what that page should look like after a while. For detailed installation instructions etc. see README.md.

Ah, yes. Definitely a cleaner soluton. Thanks, apeisa.

@doolak, it's working for me here, but I found it may depend where you are displaying the value. If you are using it for something on the admin side (where output formatting is off by default) it may not have worked. I just updated it to force the output formatting. Try it again with the latest and let me know if it works now?

I am using Sublime rather than Aptana now - it is a memory hog issue (Aptana is huge) But I do miss some bits and pieces. Although I have the folder tree plugin, I miss the full file management you have in aptana - I cant copy and paste from Explorer into Sublime like you can with Aptana, for instance. Also, Aptana has a very powerful and built in syncing system that is much more full featured than the SFTP plugin for Sublime. I find I miss all the various additional reporting screens you get with Aptana/Eclipse much less than I thought I would. And Sublime is one hell of a lot faster - no typing lag (you get that with Aptana when you have a lot of projects). So, I will probably stick to Sublime now unless I am running on a very powerful box.

Thanks, I will read everything in the coming days and if I have questions I will come back. Roelof

Amazing stuff Teppo aka Mr. Log (you can keep that name if you go to build career in adult entertainment business too ). After testing this will definitely be on our default installation for all sites!

Wow, great! Thanks ryan! (Do you ever sleep?)

Awesome work Wanze! Thanks for posting it. I'm also thrilled to see the awesome things people are doing with the blog profile as a base.

Nik's AfterSaveActions module is also a great time saving optimization for when you are creating pages, templates, fields. I was using it just yesterday on a site where I needed to add a hundred or so pages via copy/paste (the content was too inconsistent in order to automate it with something API-driven). I set my 'after save action' to 'create another sibling page', and it probably cut the time it would have taken in half.

Well, that wouldn't be true; because if they can't, then you also can't add children to the OLD pages using this children. Maybe something along the lines 'May users add children to pages using this template?'

I've updated it so that it can now support using formatted values before concatenation--like you would want with dates. Grab the new version (1.0.1). Then, in your format string, just specify an exclamation point after any field names you want to use the formatted version for. For example, "title, date!" rather than "title, date".
