Trying to build a reconciliation list of contributions (to match against bank deposits), I discovered that, at least for my installation, no record of off-line contribution entry is written to civicrm_log table (unlike contacts, activities, etc.). Is this behavior configurable through the UI or settings file? If so how? If not, any suggestions as to how to enable it?

I see this post is being read but not responded to. Am I perhaps not being clear? Or is the answer obvious to everyone but this newby? Or?

Let me try again: As shipped, CiviCRM logs (to civicrm_log) database activity related to contacts, but not to contributions. For contribution reconciliation purposes at least, it is highly desirable to be able to generate a record of contributions entered by a user and/or a datetime range showing amount, timestamp and user. Assuming that whether to log or not is not user-configurable, how would someone who's reasonably comfortable with PHP but still struggling to understand the CiviCRM object model go about adding logging capabilities to CiviContribute? Extend an existing object? Use the post_form hook? Etc.

use hook_civicrm_post on the Contribution object and do the logging there
