/**
 * Abstract base class for trackering:
 *  - logging all modifications of an entry
 *  - notifying users about changes in an entry
 *
 * You need to extend these class in your application:
 *	1. set the required class-vars: app, id_field
 *	2. optional set class-vars: creator_field, assigned_field, check2prefs
 *	3. implement the required methods: get_config, get_details
 *	4. optionally re-implement: get_title, get_subject, get_body, get_attachments, get_link, get_notification_link, get_message
 * They are all documented in this file via phpDocumentor comments.
 *
 * Translate field-name to history status field:
 * As history status was only char(2) prior to EGroupware 1.6, a mapping was necessary.
 * Now it's varchar(64) and a mapping makes no sense for new applications, just list
 * all fields to log as key AND value!
 *
 * History login supports now 1:N relations on a base record. To use that you need:
 * - to have the 1:N relation as array of arrays with the values of that releation, eg:
 * $data = array(
 * 	'id' => 123,
 *  'title' => 'Something',
 *  'date'  => '2009-08-21 14:42:00',
 * 	'participants' => array(
 * 		array('account_id' => 15, 'name' => 'User Hugo', 'status' => 'A', 'quantity' => 1),
 * 		array('account_id' => 17, 'name' => 'User Bert', 'status' => 'U', 'quantity' => 3),
 *  ),
 * );
 * - set field2history as follows
 * $field2history = array(
 * 	'id' => 'id',
 *  'title' => 'title',
 *  'participants' => array('uid','status','quantity'),
 * );
 * - set content for history log widget:
 * $content['history'] = array(
 * 	'id' => 123,
 *  'app' => 'calendar',
 *  'status-widgets' => array(
 * 		'title' => 'label',	// no need to set, as default is label
 * 		'date'  => 'datetime',
 * 		'participants' = array(
 * 			'select-account',
 * 			array('U' => 'Unknown', 'A' => 'Accepted', 'R' => 'Rejected'),
 * 			'integer',
 * 		),
 *  ),
 * );
 * - set lables for history:
 * $sel_options['status'] = array(
 * 	'title' => 'Title',
 *  'date'  => 'Starttime',
 *  'participants' => 'Participants: User, Status, Quantity',	// a single label!
 * );
 *
 * The above is also an example for using regular history login in EGroupware (by skipping the 'participants' key).
