Action log

Fileshelf writes to Joomla's action log. Under Users → User Actions Log you see who created, changed, published or deleted which download and when, and who set or removed a password. The filter Fileshelf hides everything else.

User Actions Log filtered to Fileshelf, with entries about downloads and an import
Entries of Fileshelf in the User Actions Log.

What is logged

  • Creating, changing, publishing, unpublishing, trashing and deleting downloads – each with a link to the download.
  • A password set or removed on a download or a download category. The password itself never appears in the log.
  • Categories of Fileshelf are logged by Joomla itself, like all categories.
  • In the Pro version also: uploads from the website approved or rejected, and every finished import.

Switching it on and off

On its first installation Fileshelf adds itself under Users → User Actions Log → Options → Extensions to log. If you take Fileshelf out there, it writes nothing more to the log; a later update does not change this setting. How long entries are kept is set in Joomla's plugin System - User Actions Log.
