List Manager Tutorial

List Manager 6: history logs, saved searches and permissions

The Advanced screen of a list holds data-governance options.

Advanced settings

Change history

  • Save history access — every insert, edit and delete is logged with the user and a timestamp. Browse it from Components → List Manager → Historic, or restore a previous value.
  • Time or records to preserve + type — keep the last N changes, or changes from the last N days/months, and let older entries be pruned so the log does not grow forever.

History and saved searches both add rows to the database — enable them only where you need them.

Saved searches

Save user search records what visitors search for. Combined with Autofilter it also lets the filter drop-downs show only values that still return results.

Bootstrap

Use Bootstrap loads Bootstrap’s CSS/JS on the page in case your template does not, so the default table, cards and modal look right.

Permissions (ACL)

Open Options on the main List Manager page, or the Permissions tab of a list, to decide which Joomla user groups may view, create, edit and delete rows — on both the back end and the front end. Combine this with Show only user records for a per-user data area.
