Audit / Versionning

[rande]

Hello,

I just add a support for Audit/Versionning, I have started to add interfaces in the AdminBundle and the implementation in DoctrineORMAdminBundle. I am not sure if the interface can match the PHPCR requirements, can you please have a look the the following comments and provides any comments you might have.

Thanks.

we plan to add versioning to phpcr-odm soon, so this comes really at the right time. the planned interface will look something like this:
https://github.com/doctrine/phpcr-odm/wiki/Versioning

i glanced over your code and it looks like we can do this. things i wonder:

• can one remove an old version? (doable with phpcr, use case: admin removes a version with seriously illegal content or similar)
• can one edit old versions? (not supported by phpcr)
• creating new versions is out of scope here, right?

• can one remove an old version? (doable with phpcr, use case: admin removes a version with seriously illegal content or si
  milar)
  => not yet, but it is something we can easily add
• can one edit old versions? (not supported by phpcr)
  => not possible, but the way the DoctrineORM is built it will be possible to load an entity into the Edit Form and then save it again (new revision then)
• creating new versions is out of scope here, right?
  => the revisions is created every time an object is saved. So it is not a user decision. Not sure if the AuditEntity can be tweaked to be disabled depends on a specific context.

• remove old version: its a nice-to-have for me but there is this use case i mentioned...
• with phpcr you can load the data as it was at some revision, so this workflow should work
• ah, ok. well, this is really application specific. in phpcr you explicitly tell it to create a new version but the phpcr-adminbundle glue code can easily do that.

I guess, there is a difference between audit and revision ... for now the AdminBundle try to solve the Audit one : tracking every changes on an object.

@beberlei : maybe the AuditEntity can be altered to match the Audit (Quality Control) and the Revision (User Content) requirements.

versioning support is now available in phpcr-odm doctrine/phpcr-odm#96 (when using jackalope-jackrabbit, that is ;-)

is #27 a duplicate of this issue?

+1 +1 +1

will support versioning of documents?
symfony an alternative to version documents?

[dbu]

@INHack20 doctrine phpcr-odm supports versioning. but nobody yet built support for the functionality into sonata admin. maybe this can simply be an admin extension, but probably direct support in sonata admin would allow a better user experience.

versioning is explained at http://doctrine-phpcr-odm.readthedocs.org/en/latest/reference/versioning.html
