Auditing in Tasks

[lmiller]

I'm trying to audit the status of tasks, so I can know when work is started, and completed, for an accurate tracking of work done. When I do a quick repair and rebuild( I already edited the Subject) I see this text
REBUILDING AUDIT TABLES...
Task not Audit Enabled...
Done

So out of a curiosity, I build a custom field, and set it to audit, and when I changed it a few times, and saved, I have no place to view the change-log. Is there an easy way to enable the auditing of tasks? Or is it going to be easier to create a logic hook, that puts a time-stamp inside a text field when the Status field is changed?

You need to create an extended vardefs for Tasks (custom/Extension/modules/Tasks/Ext/Vardefs/somescript.php) containing something like that:

 <?php
$dictionary['Task']['audited'] = true;
?>  

Obviously you can create folders and files if they don´t exist.
After that you have to go to Admin -> Repair -> Rebuild Extensions.

thanks! This worked, and now I'm going to attempt to make it to where i can audit the status of a task, here is what i came up with, please correct me if i'm wrong

<?php 
$dictionary['Task']['fields']['status']['audited'] = true;
?>

This worked! Thanks for the help, I can now audit my tasks, and see what time they were started and completed, which will be nice to record the amount of time taken to complete the tasks
