10. Add Speaker to Session
11. Create/Update/Delete Speaker

How to log information

From the app.helpers.data module, import record_activity . Then call it using the identifier of the activity-type and the parameters. The list of identifiers is located in app.models.activity. At the time of writing, it looks like -

ACTIVITIES = {
    'create_user': 'User {user} created',
    'update_user': 'Profile of user {user} updated',
    'update_event': 'Event {event_id} updated',
    'create_event': 'Event {event_id} created',
    'delete_event': 'Event {event_id} deleted',
    'create_role': 'Role {role} created for user {user} in event {event_id}',
    'update_role': 'Role updated to {role} for user {user} in event {event_id}',
    'delete_role': 'User {user} removed from role {role} in event {event_id}',
    'create_session': 'Session {session} was created in event {event_id}'
}

Now, if for example you want to record a delete event activity, you call

record_activity('delete_event', event_id=event_id)
