Release 1.3 introduced a logging mechanism so that messages may be logged to a database table. A database table was chosen as the location since it is easier to monitor from within the application.

The logging mechanism is built upon the Joomla Jlog libraries and implements all the current logging priorities.

The implementation implements colour coding of the messages depending upon their priority as shown in the figure below:

The logging is controlled by a component option. Entries logged will be dependant upon the version of the code installed.

In addition to being able to store simple text strings, there is also a routine to store an array using JSON encoding.
