Problem in Datetime formatter.

[JamshadAhmad]

Hi,
We are using version 0.2.3

We are facing following error Catchable Fatal Error: Object of class DateTime could not be converted to string when we try to see logs for a user who has updated any DateTime related field.

If that can be fixed with some configuration changes or something, please do tell.

---

To fix that, We are trying to implement a custom formatter. But there is another weird problem.

Our customer formatter,
extends
ActivityLogBundle\Service\ActivityLog\EntityFormatter\AbstractFormatter
and implements
ActivityLogBundle\Service\ActivityLog\EntityFormatter\FormatterInterface

But we are having another error on function declaration line
public function format(LogEntryInterface $log)

error
Type error: Argument 1 passed to AppBundle\Service\LogFormatter\AccountRegistration::format() must implement interface ActivityLogBundle\Entity\LogEntryInterface, array given

We are using formatter like this in controller.

$logEntries =  $this
                ->getDoctrine()
                ->getManager()
                ->getRepository('ActivityLogBundle:LogEntry')
                ->findBy(['user' => $user], ['loggedAt' => 'DESC']);

            // formatting logs in a good readable view
            $formattedLogEntries[]  = $this
                ->get('app.formatter.account_registration')
                ->format($logEntries);

ok, not needed now. To fix original problem, I changed the toComment function to following

public function toComment(array $data)
    {
        $result = [];
        foreach ($data as $key => $value) {
            if ((!is_object($value) && !is_array($value)) || method_exists($value, '__toString')) {
                $result[] = $key . ': ' . $value . ';';
            }
            if ($value instanceof \DateTime) {
                $result[] = $key . ': ' . $value->format('d-m-Y H:i:s') . ';';
            } else {
                $result[] = $key . ': ' . json_encode($value) . ';';
            }
        }

        return implode(PHP_EOL, $result);
    }

Hi @JamshadAhmad

could you please make pull request with proposed changes?

@madmis Sorry, that was long ago. I am not sure now, but I think that toComment(array $data) function was in our code instead of being in the bundle.
