[Django]-Adding a Log entry for an action by a user in a Django App

You’re very close. You just need to create new LogEntry objects and save them. LogEntry has a shortcut function on objects to do this.

from django.contrib.admin.models import LogEntry, ADDITION, CHANGE

LogEntry.objects.log_action(
            user_id=request.user.id,
            content_type_id=ContentType.objects.get_for_model(model_object).pk,
            object_id=object.id,
            object_repr=unicode(object.title),
            action_flag=ADDITION if create else CHANGE)

Actually, Django provides a simpler way these days – you can use built-in methods: log_addition(), log_change() and log_deletion(). See this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/56705189/14429896
