WordPress Logging Service

विवरण

This plugin provides a simple API for storing miscellaneous log entries and their overview in admin area (or network
admin area, if activated on a multisite).

Developed for private use (heavily used by my other plugins), but has perspective for more extensive usage. I can’t guarantee any support in the future nor further development, but it is to be expected. Kindly inform me about bugs, if you find any, or propose new features: zaantar@zaantar.eu.

See Usage and FAQ for more information.

API

Definitions:

WLS
  • should be checked before using any wls function

    WLS_VERSION

  • should(!) contain current WLS version string

  • severity levels:

    WLS_NOCATEGORY = 0
    
    WLS_INFO = 1
    
    WLS_NOTICE = 2
    
    WLS_WARNING = 3
    
    WLS_ERROR = 4
    
    WLS_FATALERROR = 5
    

Functions:

wls_is_registered( $category_name );
  • returns true, if $category_name is registered

    wls_register( $category_name, $description );

  • registers $category_name as a log category.

  • $description will be shown in admin area

    wls_clear( $category_name );

  • deletes all log entries of category $category_name

    wls_unregister( $category_name );

  • same as wls_clear & removes category $category_name from the list

    wls_log( $category_name, $text, $user_id, $date, $blog_id, $severity = 0 );

  • inserts a new log entry into specified category

  • $date must be formated according to ISO 8601
  • $severity should be one of defined severity levels (see above)

    wls_simple_log( $log_name, $text, $severity = 0 );

  • equivalent to wls_log( $category_name, $text, get_current_user_id(), date( 'c' ), get_current_blog_id(), $severity);

प्रश्नोत्तर

How does this actually work?

There are different log categories, under which are individual log entries grouped. It is recommended that every plugin using WLS has it’s own log category. (Network) admin can then view the entries at Network administration –> Dashboard –> System logs or change settings at Network administration –> Settings–> WordPress Logging Service.

How to use the plugin with my own plugins?

See the API section.

Which plugins already use WordPress Logging Service?
  • Almost all of my plugins. Most of them is not internationalized nor uploaded to wordpress.org yet, but if you speak
    Czech language, you could make some use of them: here
  • If you find other developer’s plugin or if you develop yourself one that uses WLS, please tell me (zaantar@gmail.com) so I can add it to this list.
