Based on: View all log entries in the admin
Improvements:
- No crash on 
object_linkwhen reverse route missing, - Filter by users present in the log AND in database currently
 - Other filters on users - only superusers / only staff (modify to fit your needs)
 
EDIT:
Incorporated action_description from django-logentry-admin.
- The list filter now has human-friendly action names, and the table also.
 - Refactored list filter class hierarchy.

Hi! I'm a complete newbie using Djancg-cms and I need to get all the Recents changes at my app and put it at my homepage. Where should I put this code to work?
Sorry for this silly question...
#

#
A small fix, the import of reverse is now:
from django.urls import reverse#
