Extension Logging tab
Only a few settings for extensions can be set here. And the logging only applies to the backend because you cannot manage extensions from the frontend of a Joomla!™ website.
- Extension installation: should the installation of extensions be logged? This includes Plugins, Modules, Packages, Libraries, etc.
- Extension uninstallation: should the uninstallation of extensions be logged? Also this includes Plugins, Modules, Packages, Libraries, etc.
- Extension update: should extension updates be logged? Also includes.... ya know...
Save Logging tab
A lot of items can be set here to check when they are saved or better said saved or updated. Most of the settings are pretty straight forward and we'll not describe them seperatly otherwise we'll keep on repeating ourselfs ;-)
The sum of all options results in the following:
- Article, Category, Menu item, Banner, Contact, Usernote, Newsfeed, Redirect, Smart Search, Tag, User Acces Level save: logs all save/update state for all of these items.
- Module save: will log save/update sate for a module configuration.
- Plugin save: will log save/update state for a plugin configuration.
- Style save: will log save/update state in template style configuration.
- Language save: will log save/update state for language configuration.
- Component options save: will log save/update state for component options.
- Field and Field group save: logs all save/update state for all of these items [Joomla!™ 3.7 and higher only].
- Log content save in: log in the frontend only, in the backend only or log on both sides.
All logs will contain time, date, username, article/extension title, etc. so you can always check who-did-what.
