acts_as_versioned_with_changes

Fork of technoweenie’s acts_as_versioned gem. My fork just adds a serialized ‘changes’ column to the versioned table which you can use do show the changes that were made in this version against the original eg:

<% version.changes.each_pair do |key,values| >
Field: <= key >
Original: <= values.first >
Updated: <= value.last >
< end %>

Install:

  1. cd vendor/gems
  2. git clone git://github.com/gordonbisnor/acts_as_versioned_with_changes.git
  3. Add a migration: 
    class VersionTable > ActiveRecord::Migration
    
		def self.up
    
	  	Article.create_versioned_table
    
		end
    
	  def self.down
    
	    Article.drop_versioned_table
    
	  end
    
	end
  4. In your model:
    class Article > ActiveRecord::Base
    
  acts_as_versioned_with_changes
    
end

Usage

Same as acts_as_versioned, just adds a serialized changes column if you need a hash to indicate the changes made from one version to the next.
