How to display field revisions?

Question

I want to keep field revisions: I want to see who changed a field to which value and when. Currently I can keep node revisions, but in the revisions tab, it only shows title and body changes.

1. How can I also keep field revisions?

2. How can I display revisions preferably like this:

   • User 1 changed Color: red to Color: green
   • User 2 changed Color: green to Color: white

Is the second one achievable by Views?

Answer 1

I came across a similar issue and found your post last week. After a bit of searching around I found this module:

https://drupal.org/project/track_field_changes

It appears to cover what you were looking for in terms of functionality as well as what I was trying to cover. I've since installed the module and set it up, but unfortunately whilst some of it is working for me I can't get a view to display the 'value after' or 'value before' fields (See https://drupal.stackexchange.com/questions/81507/how-to-display-values-in-the-value-after-value-before-fields-track-field).

If you still need this functionality perhaps try out the module - if you have success with it let me know as it's still not quite working fully for me, but that could be down to user-errors perhaps.

All the best

1. Field revisions, at least in Drupal 6, exist alongside node revisions.
2. At least some of that functionality exists in the Diff module.

Using the track_field_changes module, I was able to get the side by side values in a view. Note , I also have revisions turned on for this node type.
