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
- Unzip the archive
- Copy pi.pur_developer.php into your /system/plugins/ directory
- 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.
