create custom fields in cases_audit table and save ip address

Hello Ashok Gupta,

Why you want to store the IP Address in audit table and why not in custom table ?

You can update the field using bean if fields are there in custom table when users modified the field.

Hi Venkatesh Prabhu,

I am creating a report where I need to track from which IP Address users has modified or changed the record.

Hi Ashok Gupta 

It is not an easy task. Follow the steps to accomplish:

• Copy the script metadata/audit_templateMetaData.php into custom/metadata/audit_templateMetaData.php and add into custom metadata the field for storing the IP.
• Edit your config.php and update the attribute $sugar_config['dbconfig']['db_manager'] to 'CustomMysqliManager' (I'm considering your database is MySQL).
• Copy the file include/database/MysqliManager.php into custom/include/database/MysqliManager.php, update the class name to CustomMysqliManager and make it extends the original MysqliManager class.
• Remove all existing methods and copy the method MysqliManager from include/database/DBManager.php.
• Inside this new method setup the value of new field.

Go to Admin -> Repair -> Quick Repair and Rebuild

Hi Andre Lopes,

Thanks for your input. i am trying as mentioned above.

I have made the class like class CustomMysqliManager  extends MysqliManager 

However, point no 4. ie. 

• Remove all existing methods and copy the method MysqliManager from include/database/DBManager.php.

   I don't see any method with MysqliManager name. Can you please confirm?

My bad!

The method to copy from DbManager is "auditSQL".

I have made the changes and done repair rebuild . But I get an error when we modify  config.php and change 

'dbconfig' to 'db_manager' => 'CustomMysqliManager',

Error: Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required 'include/database/CustomMysqliManager.php' 

Please let me know if i am missing any thing?

Debug the method "getTypeInstance" in the script include/database/DBManagerFactory.php in order to identify why it didn't load the custom one.

Hi Andre Lopes,

Thanks its working now . 

I changed the file name to CustomMysqliManager.php from MysqliManager.php inside custom/include/database folder.

Its working now and storing something like   ::1  , which I believe for  localhost(IP)  its stores this way
