Introduction¶
What does it do?¶
This extension prints debug commands into the Firebug Extension for Mozilla.
Users manual¶
Quickinstall:¶
- Install the extension with the Extension Manager
- Install Firebug for Firefox
- Install FirePHP for Firefox (http://www.firephp.org/)
Installation¶
This section describes how to install the extension and set it up.
Go to the Extension Manager an import the extension fire_debug from TER. After importing it just click to install it.
Congratulations! The extension has been installed. Don't forget to set the config options for the extension to your specific needs.
Enable logging when BE User is logged in only? - this option when enabled will print the debug only when you are logged into the backend
Enable logging for an IP Range – this option allows you to specify a specific IP Range (I.e. 192.168.217.*) that will see the debug commands. This is useful when you cannot log into the backend but still want to keep your debug messages private.
The following part describes how to install the Firefox extensions. First, install Firebug ( http://getfirebug.com/ ). However, we suggest that you look for the most recent version on https://addons.mozilla.org , the homepage does not always have the latest version. Then you install the FirePHP Extension ( http://www.firephp.org/ ). Now you are ready to debug into the Firebug console.
Documentation¶
How to use: after you installed the Firefox Extensions correctly, you can use the debug() command.
Example:
debug($array,'array',__LINE__,__FILE__);
debug($string,'string',__LINE__,__FILE__);
debug($string,'string',__LINE__);
debug($string,'string');
debug($string);
This will print out a detailed view for the variable you choose to debug. There are no type restrictions for which variables you can debug. Arrays and objects work just as well as strings and integers.
When you debug an array or an object, you can click on the value- Property of the output in Firebug to browse its contents.
When you debug an object, it is printed out as a array with two subarrays. The first contains all available properties of the object, the second contains all available methods. Properties are also displayed as an array with four fields. The first three are length of the property, its type and its name. The last is the value, which you can again click if it is an object or another array.
