Developer Plugin

We had a need for some way to easily see cat_ids, field_ids etc when developing templates so we came up this little plugin. After adding the plugin tags to a template, and if you are logged in as a Super Admin, a small tab appears at the top left. Clicking this opens a pane with 6 tables of data:

Weblogs, Member Groups, Categories, Weblog Fields, Admin Quicklinks and Weblog Entries

Each table line has shortcut links that will open that specific item in the CP in a new window.

Checked for EE: 1.6.0 Download: pi.pur_developer.php (Zipped)

Installation Instructions

  1. Unzip the archive
  2. Copy pi.pur_developer.php into your /system/plugins/ directory
  1. Copy the pur_developer folder into your /system/plugins/ directory

Usage

There are two tags:


{exp:pur_developer:js}

Should be placed within the < head > of your template. This adds links to the Javascript and the CSS.


{exp:pur_developer}

Should be placed directly after the < body > tag. This creates the developer pane tab and populates the tables. Now when you are logged in as a Super Admin and viewing a front-end template a small tab appears at the top left. Clicking this tab toggles a sliding pane with the details and links shown.

Do you like and use any of this stuff?

If so then think about donating something. We can’t promise that we’ll spend it responsibly; Rach will probably want to spend it on toys for Skateboard, Greg will put it towards another Mighty Mouse (’cos his keep breaking).
