User activity tracker

[ygoex]

Track the activity of users through the system.

This module might help with this issue: https://www.drupal.org/docs/8/core/modules/tracker-module/overview (still in core).

See this comment in the equivalent farmers issue https://github.com/National-Forestry-Authority/farmers/issues/133#issuecomment-1439961434. We should use the approach described there in a common NFA module that can be used in BRMS and Farmers

We'll apply here the same approach described here: https://github.com/National-Forestry-Authority/farmers/issues/133#issuecomment-1519801419

NFA tracker module has been installed. The user reports are in the Administration > Reports section of the site https://brms.stg.envs.utils.nfa.go.ug/admin/reports/nfa/tracker

@peacog This is looking promising - I am wondering currently it just tells you who accessed what, but the log doesn't provide any more information about what happened when the user accessed a particular node? Is there any built-in functionality within Drupal Core or an existing module that provides further functionality in this regard?

Hi @LeScruf . The report tells you when node was saved and by whom. It doesn't tell you about when nodes are views/accessed. If more information is needed we would have to build a custom solution. @pcambra suggested using the Log module in this related ticket for farmers: https://github.com/National-Forestry-Authority/farmers/issues/133#issuecomment-1439961434.

The first step would be to describe what kinds of activity you want to report on. Could you make a list of what events you would like to track?

@LeScruf I think you have already tested this. Do you want to add more requirements and move to Functional WIP? Or will we mark it Done?
