#Usage
#Basic Spatie ActivityLog usage
In you Model add Spatie\Activitylog\Traits\LogsActivity trait, and configure getActivitylogOption function
For more configuration, Please review Spatie Docs
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Spatie\Activitylog\Traits\LogsActivity;
use Spatie\Activitylog\LogOptions;
class NewsItem extends Model
{
use LogsActivity;
protected $fillable = ['name', 'text'];
public function getActivitylogOptions(): LogOptions
{
return LogOptions::defaults()
->logOnly(['name', 'text']);
}
}
#Plugin usage

In your Panel ServiceProvider (App\Providers\Filament) active the plugin
Add the Rmsramos\Activitylog\ActivitylogPlugin to your panel config
use Rmsramos\Activitylog\ActivitylogPlugin;
public function panel(Panel $panel): Panel
{
return $panel
->plugins([
ActivitylogPlugin::make(),
]);
}
#Customising the ActivitylogResource
You can swap out the ActivitylogResource used by updating the ->resource() value. Use this to create your own CustomResource class and extend the original at \Rmsramos\Activitylog\Resources\ActivitylogResource::class. This will allow you to customise everything such as the views, table, form and permissions.
[!NOTE] If you wish to change the resource on List and View page be sure to replace the
getPagesmethod on the new resource and create your own version of theListPageandViewPageclasses to reference the customCustomResource.
use Rmsramos\Activitylog\ActivitylogPlugin;
public function panel(Panel $panel): Panel
{
return $panel
->plugins([
ActivitylogPlugin::make()
->resource(\Path\For\Your\CustomResource::class),
]);
}
#Customising label Resource
You can swap out the Resource label used by updating the ->label() and ->pluralLabel() value.
use Rmsramos\Activitylog\ActivitylogPlugin;
public function panel(Panel $panel): Panel
{
return $panel
->plugins([
ActivitylogPlugin::make()
->label('Log')
->pluralLabel('Logs'),
]);
}
#Displaying the resource in the navigation
You can enable or disable the Resource navigation item by updating the ->navigationItem() value.
use Rmsramos\Activitylog\ActivitylogPlugin;
public function panel(Panel $panel): Panel
{
return $panel
->plugins([
ActivitylogPlugin::make()
->navigationItem(false), // by default is true
]);
}
#Grouping resource navigation items
You can add a Resource navigation group updating the ->navigationGroup() value.
use Rmsramos\Activitylog\ActivitylogPlugin;
public function panel(Panel $panel): Panel
{
return $panel
->plugins([
ActivitylogPlugin::make()
->navigationGroup('Activity Log'),
]);
}
#Customising a resource navigation icon
You can swap out the Resource navigation icon used by updating the ->navigationIcon() value.
use Rmsramos\Activitylog\ActivitylogPlugin;
public function panel(Panel $panel): Panel
{
return $panel
->plugins([
ActivitylogPlugin::make()
->navigationIcon('heroicon-o-shield-check'),
]);
}
#Active a count badge
You can active Count Badge updating the ->navigationCountBadge() value.
use Rmsramos\Activitylog\ActivitylogPlugin;
public function panel(Panel $panel): Panel
{
return $panel
->plugins([
ActivitylogPlugin::make()
->navigationCountBadge(true),
]);
}
#Set navigation sort
You can set the Resource navigation sort used by updating the ->navigationSort() value.
use Rmsramos\Activitylog\ActivitylogPlugin;
public function panel(Panel $panel): Panel
{
return $panel
->plugins([
ActivitylogPlugin::make()
->navigationSort(3),
]);
}
#Authorization
If you would like to prevent certain users from accessing the logs resource, you should add a authorize callback in the ActivitylogPlugin chain.
use Rmsramos\Activitylog\ActivitylogPlugin;
public function panel(Panel $panel): Panel
{
return $panel
->plugins([
ActivitylogPlugin::make()
->authorize(
fn () => auth()->user()->id === 1
),
]);
}
#Translate Resource Names
To translate resource names in the activity log, add a translateSubject callback within the ActivitylogPlugin chain
use Rmsramos\Activitylog\ActivitylogPlugin;
public function panel(Panel $panel): Panel
{
return $panel
->plugins([
ActivitylogPlugin::make()
->translateSubject(fn($label) => __("yourCustomLangFile.".$label)),
]);
}
#Translate Activity log key Names
To translate the names of the keys in the activity log, add a translateLogKey callback within the ActivitylogPlugin chain
use Rmsramos\Activitylog\ActivitylogPlugin;
public function panel(Panel $panel): Panel
{
return $panel
->plugins([
ActivitylogPlugin::make()
->translateLogKey(fn($label) => __("yourCustomLangFile.".$label)),
]);
}
#Customize Date Parsing
To customize how dates are parsed, depending on user preferences or settings:
use Rmsramos\Activitylog\ActivitylogPlugin;
use Morilog\Jalali\Jalalian;
use Carbon\Carbon;
public function panel(Panel $panel): Panel
{
return $panel
->plugins([
ActivitylogPlugin::make()
->dateParser(
fn($date) => auth()->user()->isJalaliCalendar() ?
Jalalian::fromDateTime($date) :
Carbon::parse($date)
)
]);
}
#Customize Date and DateTime Formats
To customize the format of dates and datetime columns based on user settings:
use Rmsramos\Activitylog\ActivitylogPlugin;
public function panel(Panel $panel): Panel
{
return $panel
->plugins([
ActivitylogPlugin::make()
->dateFormat('Y-m-d')
->datetimeFormat(fn() => auth()->user()->getFilamentDateTimeFormat())
]);
}
#Customize DateTime Columns
To conditionally customize datetime columns in the UI, depending on the user's calendar preference:
use Rmsramos\Activitylog\ActivitylogPlugin;
public function panel(Panel $panel): Panel
{
return $panel
->plugins([
ActivitylogPlugin::make()
->customizeDatetimeColumn(function ($column) {
return $column->when(
auth()->user()->isJalaliCalendar(),
function ($column) {
return $column->jalaliDateTime();
}
);
})
]);
}
#Customize Date Picker Fields
To customize date picker fields in forms, depending on user preferences:
use Rmsramos\Activitylog\ActivitylogPlugin;
public function panel(Panel $panel): Panel
{
return $panel
->plugins([
ActivitylogPlugin::make()
->customizeDatePicker(function ($field) {
return $field->when(
auth()->user()->isJalaliCalendar(),
function ($field) {
return $field->jalali();
}
);
})
]);
}
#Manipulate View Action Using Custom Activity Resource Trait
Implement getFilamentActualResourceModel in the trait HasCustomActivityResource to determine the actual model related to the activity record for generating valid URLs.
use Rmsramos\Activitylog\Traits\HasCustomActivityResource;
trait HasCustomActivityResource
{
public function getFilamentActualResourceModel($record)
{
$record = $record->subject->translatable;
$model = null;
switch ($record::class) {
case FirstTranslatableModel::class:
$model = $record->firstModel;
break;
case SecondTranslatableModel::class:
$model = $record->secondModel;
break;
default:
throw new Exception("Error Translatable subject model not found. record = ".$record::class, 1);
break;
}
return $model;
}
}
#Hide Restore / View Action
To hide the restore / view action globally for a resource within the ActivitylogPlugin, you can use the isRestoreActionHidden and isResourceActionHidden method. these are particularly useful in scenarios where you do not want users to have the ability to restore or view entries from the activity log. you can also customize the label of view action:
use Rmsramos\Activitylog\ActivitylogPlugin;
public function panel(Panel $panel): Panel
{
return $panel
->plugins([
ActivitylogPlugin::make()
->isRestoreActionHidden(true)
->isResourceActionHidden(true)
->resourceActionLabel("Sample Label")
]);
}
#Show Restore (Soft Deletes)
In the laravel-activitylog configuration file config/activitylog.php:
return [
'subject_returns_soft_deleted_models' => true,
]
To globally display the restore (soft delete) action of a resource within the ActivitylogPlugin, you can use the isRestoreModelActionHidden method. This is particularly useful in scenarios where you do not want users to have the ability to restore activity log entries:
use Rmsramos\Activitylog\ActivitylogPlugin;
public function panel(Panel $panel): Panel
{
return $panel
->plugins([
ActivitylogPlugin::make()
->isRestoreModelActionHidden(false)
]);
}
#Role Policy
To ensure ActivitylogResource access via RolePolicy you would need to add the following to your AppServiceProvider:
use App\Policies\ActivityPolicy;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Gate;
use Spatie\Activitylog\Models\Activity;
class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
public function boot(): void
{
Gate::policy(Activity::class, ActivityPolicy::class);
}
}
#Full configuration
use Rmsramos\Activitylog\ActivitylogPlugin;
public function panel(Panel $panel): Panel
{
return $panel
->plugins([
ActivitylogPlugin::make()
->resource(\Path\For\Your\CustomResource::class)
->label('Log')
->pluralLabel('Logs')
->navigationItem(true)
->navigationGroup('Activity Log')
->navigationIcon('heroicon-o-shield-check')
->navigationCountBadge(true)
->navigationSort(2)
->authorize(
fn () => auth()->user()->id === 1
)
->translateSubject(fn($label) => __("yourCustomLangFile.".$label)),
->dateParser(
fn($date) => auth()->user()->isJalaliCalendar() ?
Jalalian::fromDateTime($date) :
Carbon::parse($date)
)
->dateFormat('Y-m-d')
->datetimeFormat(fn() => auth()->user()->getFilamentDateTimeFormat())
->customizeDatetimeColumn(function ($column) {
return $column->when(
auth()->user()->isJalaliCalendar(),
function ($column) {
return $column->jalaliDateTime();
}
);
})
->customizeDatePicker(function ($field) {
return $field->when(
auth()->user()->isJalaliCalendar(),
function ($field) {
return $field->jalali();
}
);
})
->isRestoreActionHidden(true)
->isResourceActionHidden(true)
->isRestoreModelActionHidden(false)
->resourceActionLabel("Sample Label"),
]);
}
#Relationship manager
If you have a model that uses the Spatie\Activitylog\Traits\LogsActivity trait, you can add the Rmsramos\Activitylog\RelationManagers\ActivitylogRelationManager relationship manager to your Filament resource to display all of the activity logs that are performed on your model.

use Rmsramos\Activitylog\RelationManagers\ActivitylogRelationManager;
public static function getRelations(): array
{
return [
ActivitylogRelationManager::class,
];
}
#Timeline Action

To make viewing activity logs easier, you can use a custom action. In your UserResource in the table function, add the ActivityLogTimelineTableAction.
use Rmsramos\Activitylog\Actions\ActivityLogTimelineTableAction;
public static function table(Table $table): Table
{
return $table
->actions([
ActivityLogTimelineTableAction::make('Activities'),
]);
}
you can pass a matrix with the relationships, remember to configure your Models.
public static function table(Table $table): Table
{
return $table
->actions([
ActivityLogTimelineTableAction::make('Activities')
->withRelations(['profile', 'address']), //opcional
]);
}
You can configure the icons and colors, by default the 'heroicon-m-check' icon and the 'primary' color are used.
use Rmsramos\Activitylog\Actions\ActivityLogTimelineTableAction;
public static function table(Table $table): Table
{
return $table
->actions([
ActivityLogTimelineTableAction::make('Activities')
->timelineIcons([
'created' => 'heroicon-m-check-badge',
'updated' => 'heroicon-m-pencil-square',
])
->timelineIconColors([
'created' => 'info',
'updated' => 'warning',
])
]);
}
You can limit the number of results in the query by passing a limit, by default the last 10 records are returned.
use Rmsramos\Activitylog\Actions\ActivityLogTimelineTableAction;
public static function table(Table $table): Table
{
return $table
->actions([
ActivityLogTimelineTableAction::make('Activities')
->limit(30),
]);
}
#Full Timeline configuration
use Rmsramos\Activitylog\Actions\ActivityLogTimelineTableAction;
public static function table(Table $table): Table
{
return $table
->actions([
ActivityLogTimelineTableAction::make('Activities')
->withRelations(['profile', 'address'])
->timelineIcons([
'created' => 'heroicon-m-check-badge',
'updated' => 'heroicon-m-pencil-square',
])
->timelineIconColors([
'created' => 'info',
'updated' => 'warning',
])
->limit(10),
]);
}
