I think this package is useful as-is, if the admin is interesting in seeing all logs in a chronological order. But for the admin that is looking for something in particular, I think this package doesn't do a good enough job - they'd have to dig through the data using the pagination or search.

Which is a pity, because it should be pretty simple to add some Backpack filters to help the admin. Here's what I think would be useful, eager to see what other think:

• a date_range filter
• a select2_ajax filter for User (so that the admin can easily see all activity for one user; i'd use this in conjunction with the Fetch operation so that everything is coded inside the same Controller)
• (maybe) a select filter for subject_type, so that the admin can filter by that (we can get a list of different subject types from the DB, then cache it so that the query is not run on every request)

Thoughts?

Hey @coziboy ,

Great job creating this! I think a lot of people are using (or would like to use) spatie/laravel-activitylog, and having an admin interface to use when we do... would be awesome.

I've made a few PRs and suggestions, hope you don't mind.
I've also started watching all activity for this package, to see how it evolves.

I'd love to promote this to all our community and include it as a recommended add-on, but would like to see that it's well-maintained before I do that. I see there hasn't been much activity on it this year, so please let me know if you're not interested in maintaining it and we'll see what we can do. We'll of course try to help anyway, but since you've already done the grunt of the work building this, we'd much rather you continue to maintain it, with our occasional help, when asked. Maintaining a Backpack addon is a great way to learn about Backpack internals, get to know more Backpack devs and get to learn OSS management. Since the scope is limited, once and addon gets to a certain point... it doesn't really need much attention at all.

Also, yeah. What this Issue is about - a screenshot with a few entries (or maybe a GIF) would GREATLY increase how many people use this package. I heavily recommend you add that. I'd submit a PR. Here's one that I will use for a PR, but I think you can do much better than this 😅

Hope it helps. Feel free to mention me if you need my input on anything regarding this package.
Cheers!

Checking the $entry variable via dd() shows the changes array is empty and contains no data.

the user login at /login -> using the AuthenticationController Laravel provides
the admin login at /admin/login -> using the AuthenticationControllers Backpack provides

/config/activitylog.php:26

'default_auth_driver' => null,

I changed to

'default_auth_driver' => 'backpack',

then only admin user will log, but if I keep it null, then only normal user will log causer_id and causer_type, how do you accomplish both guard?
