Activity stream for changes made by users along with the exact data they changed

[chachra]

Eg. User X approved Trip Y on date Z - changed made:
field 3: a to b
field 6: c to d
etc.

Need an API then for these as well. Can this be done somewhat generically where possible?

@robertavram In order to store custom data for activity stream, we need to re-introduce django-jsonfield package :(

Just for the heads-up.

[robertavram]

@n1207n can;t we use this:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/ref/contrib/postgres/fields/#jsonfield

we've updated to 1.9 jsonfield is included

we're using it here:

etools/EquiTrack/workplan/models.py

Line 1 in 3282b66

from django.contrib.postgres.fields import JSONField

[n1207n]

It's a hard requirement for django activity stream. It relies on that package.

[robertavram]

@n1207n uhhhh :( I see they have a couple of PRs open for this fix... comment in the requirements to keep an eye out for updates.

[n1207n]

@robertavram Cool. I'll put a comment in the requirements. ;)

django-activity-stream integrated and activity is available via URLs.
