Logging/tracking feature

Hi,

For civiPetition, we will need to track who signs (IP address, timestamp, probably reverse dns) and probably a few anti-fraud stuff (permanent cookie, flash based permanent cookie...).

I know that for CiviCampaign, you plan to track it as a custom field, would it be useful for you to have the tracking generic (the idea would be to be able to easily plug that on other functions, eg mailinglist registrations) ?

btw, store the IP as an int, not as a string:

i suspect we will not store the IP in the core code base. To store IP and otehr stuff, we should do it via a hook :) If you can implement the hook to store the below fields that would be awesome

i dont think we've talked about tracking. It is currently out of scope for us for this project

Hi,

Is this possible to create a new table in civicrm db during the installation of a module ?

Assuming you mean a Drupal module, don't see why not, if the mysql user has appropriate permission.

In drupal's hook_install():
CRM_Core_DAO::executeQuery("CREATE TABLE ...");

might need to call civicrm_initialize() first
