User activity tracker

[ygoex]

Create report views for NFA accounts/payroll department whose purpose is to provide an overview of employee's activity.

• [x] Review the core Activity Tracker module to see if it provides the functionality needed. If it is not suitable provide the functionality with the following views.
• [x] Enable revisions on nodes
• [x] Create a view based on the core Files view that lists the KML files uploaded to the system with name of the user who uploaded the file
• [x] Create a view filtered by user that shows farmers, areas and subareas added and modified, with created and last modified dates.
• [x] Add reports to new FMIS Reports section in Admin > Reports

The core activity tracker does not give us the functionality we need to track user edits, filter results, or export to csv. We need to develop a custom solution.

@peacog we can track user edits through revisions, I am not sure if we can build views over the tracking.

If we want to build something custom, my recommendation would be to log everything using https://www.drupal.org/project/log (which is included with farmos, so we use the same tooling) and use event subscribers to populate the actions we're interested in. An example of such pattern is the submodule log of commerce https://git.drupalcode.org/project/commerce/-/tree/8.x-2.x/modules/log/src/EventSubscriber

We need to make this feature common so it can be used on brms too.

Tagging @Yash621 as well here, because he has assigned the BRMS one

Hi @pcambra - we were looking at this but don't see an end solution - except to say we fully trust you on the means you are suggesting to achieve it?

[peacog]

Hi @LeScruf The solution we implemented is the two reports you can see https://farmers.nfa.go.ug/admin/reports/nfa/tracker

Do you need more information/options? If so we can look at using the log module that @pcambra suggested

Hi @peacog - I think this suffices for now pending a separate issue of incorporating this into an admin dashboard at a later point? Thks!
