equivalent as RecordHook but Global ?

[item]

Hi,

as i work in healthcare, we need to log all action of user.
for this, i have create a new entity as out-of-box ActionHistoryLog. (with same field + other).

is there any solution for make "RecordHook" Global as a Global Hook avaible for all entity ?

i will too use :
https://github.com/espocrm/espocrm/issues/2718 Entity Manager custom parameters
So, i can select witch entity i will "log"
if (entity->customLog == true) then log. (i don't know actually if i can access so to this custom param !?)

With these question, i have a second :
i will make a report panel, and display as side panel in the entity, so assignedUser can see witch other user have do some action. (read...)
i have try with relation "children->to->parent", but the result as table in side panel is not as i will.
So my question is : do i need to create one->to->many relation will all entity i will "log" ?

And last question :

can we log, "downloaded" file.. is there a equivalent of "RecordHook" who capture "download/view inline browser" ?

Thanks

Hi,

Global hooks maybe?

No global record hooks. You can specify the same Hook class for all entity types. As of v8.0 there are entity manager tool hooks https://github.com/espocrm/documenta...ity-manager.md. You can manipulate metadata on entity type create/update/delete, checking your custom parameter there.

> can we log, "downloaded"

The only way at the moment, is to define custom Download entryPoint in the custom directory (through I don't like such way of customization).

Hi Yuri,
i understand... i will wait if one day you add this kind of functionnality.. else i will live without
Thanks.

Unlikely there will be ever a special hook for Download. Better use custom Download entry point. Pass the default Download Entry Point in a constructor and call it in the run method. Try not to use class inheritance (extend) whenever it possible.

Hi Kharg,

Global hook is when a "event" occur, like : beforeSave, beforeRemove, ...

when a user "read" the record, there are not a hook who fire.
I need same as global hook, but "globally beforeReadHookClassNameList + beforeUpdateHookClassNameList"

https://docs.espocrm.com/development/metadata/record-defs/#beforereadhookclassnamelist

actually i have only this for Contact

"beforeReadHookClassNameList": [
        "__APPEND__",
        "Espo\\Custom\\Classes\\RecordHooks\\Contact\\BeforeReadTracking"
    ],​ 

else i need to write manually in each recordDefs of all entity i will track :
sample :

    "beforeReadHookClassNameList": [
        "__APPEND__",
        "Espo\\Custom\\Classes\\RecordHooks\\Common\\BeforeReadTracking"
    ],
    "beforeUpdateHookClassNameList": [
        "__APPEND__",
        "Espo\\Custom\\Classes\\RecordHooks\\Common\\BeforeUpdateTracking"
    ],
    "beforeDownloadFileHookClassNameList": [  // this don't exist of course
        "__APPEND__",
        "Espo\\Custom\\Classes\\RecordHooks\\Common\\BeforeDownloadFileTracking"
    ],​​​ 

for sample code who work :

$track = $this->metadata->get(['entityDefs', $entity->getEntityType(), 'entityTracking']);

        if ($track){
            $this->em->createEntity('Tracking', [
                'name' => $entity->get('name') .'::' .$this->user->get('userName'),
                'action' => 'Read',
                'userId' => $this->user->getId(),
                'assignedUserId' => $entity->get('assignedUserId'),
                'contactId' => $entity->getId(),
                'date' => date('Y-m-d H:i:s'),
                'teamsIds' => [$this->user->get('defaultTeam')],
                'ip' => $this->getIp(),
            ]);
        }​

Noticed a small spelling error in the docs:

Hooks processed when a new custom entity type is craeted.

craeted -> created

Fixed. Thanks.

I added ActionLogger interface, one can bind a custom one for additional logging. https://github.com/espocrm/espocrm/c...be7ff461e91a8a
