CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I apologize if there is a thread about this, or an issue about this, or some good docs somewhere. I am having trouble finding info about this, so here is a new thread.

I am very interested in error reporting in CiviCRM. Is there any kind of plan to have error logging integrated in way that is similar to Drupal's watchdog/dblog approach?

So far I have found this page: http://osdir.com/ml/crm.civicrm.devel/2007-05/msg00099.html
The text on that page is a bit jarbled for me, so I can't find a date anywhere, and I don't know how up-to-date it is.

And I know there is this module for D5: http://drupal.org/project/civicrm_error
I have an issue in the queue there to find out if it's going to get upgraded to 6.

So what are the plans, if any, to have a built-in error logging system with CiviCRM? While I think it would be great for it to hook in directly to watchdog and the joomla equivalent, I also wonder about just having a CiviCRM reporting tool as well that you can get to through Administer CiviCRM. This would log all error specific to CiviCRM in the same way that Watchdog works.

Looking for input here....I am happy to file an issue if it hasn't already been done.

thanks lobo. is there any kind of issue on this right now that i can watch? if not i think i'll start one

ok, in that case, can you tell by looking at this how old/what version of civi it is from? http://osdir.com/ml/crm.civicrm.devel/2007-05/msg00099.html

says rev 2791 and i apologize for not really understanding how to look that up on fisheye and if that's even the same thing as rev 2791 on fisheye.

since it looks like this is already some kind of patch, i'd like to start from here if possible
