I found myself searching through server logs to find when anyone last accessed a particular extension in /administrator when a friend of mine called and asked if it were possible to log changes to extension params.... Sometimes you can't see the forest for the trees! I immediately set out to create such an extension. Now there is no confusion as to when a change was made, or who made it. By the way, I found the log I was looking for - and it was me who made the change!
Note:
This extension is no longer maintained. Its functionality has been integrated into the Joomla core, rendering it obsolete. It remains here as an example of my work.
v1.0.6
