~Reserved~

Didn't find a similar mod for 4.x.x, so I re-released it :)

[Ziki]

I meant one that uses the vBulletins default debug system, without file edits.

I've been using the 3.8 version of this mod on vb 4 for quite a while now and it has always worked fine. I'll go ahead and switch to this one, although when comparing the files they are almost identical.

Thanks. ;)

[Boofo]

Where does the explain feature work? Only on the forums? It doesn't work in the Admin CP.

[eTiKeT?]

İnstalled...

Yeah, it's pretty much the same, I just imported it into vb4, checked if everything works and exported again :p

It doesn't? It works fine for me, even in the Mod Cp. Tried it now on fresh vB4 installation :-/

What were you doing in the Admin CP when you used it? Maybe I'm not in the right area.

Well I opened it up right away from the forum and then clicked the first explain link I saw next to the debug stats. Worked on every page I tried, even the sidebar.

Then you didn't open it up first in the Admin CP. That is where I tried it first.

Excellent mod, installed and 5 stars.

Went straight to admincp and still works for me, no matter what page I try :-/, I even installed a new forum on localhost to try it on and it still worked. Can you try it on a different forum?

I only clicked on it in the Admin CP. I never clicked on it in the fourms.

[Ziki]

Yeah, I meant to try it on a different vB installation :) The explain feature works fine on my board even in the admincp.

[Raeven]

Very useful indeed :). Installed and Nominated ;).

[Ziki]

I only clicked on it in the Admin CP. I never clicked on it in the fourms.

So did it work then?

[Boofo]

Not in the Admin CP.

[Ziki]

Not in the Admin CP.

:-/

Could someone say if this is working for them or not as well?

[HMBeaty]

The one for 3.5 still works for me just fine :)

[yahooooh]

can you add ability to exclude some administrators to completey can not see the debug mode including the site , in this version only for admin controle panel

[Raeven]

Works (also worked) nice for me on:

4.1.3, 4.1.4 and 4.1.5 (on 2 Forums, one Forum has over 60 Addons installed, no problems there too). And I still love this addon.

[Ziki]

Version 1.0.2 released. Below is the list of updates:

- Changed staff viewing permission from can_moderate() to users with admin permission, to make sure it also works with custom groups with admin rights
- New option to hide template name in HTML comments for people without admin rights

[Rocco97]

Installed...

[Ziki]

I was thinking on improving this a bit. What other tools would you like to see?

[Ziki]

1.0.3 released

- Debug info did not show up in CMS, thanks to CvP

[megabink]

Installed and it works fine on 4.2.0 thanks buddy.

As to Bofos comments you have to have this mod turned on in forums in order for explain to work in the AdminCP/ModCP.

Good catch, I'll fix this :)

Quite irrelevant, but no :)

Really useful addon, works like a charm on vB 4.2.4 :)

FYI for those who upgrade to VB 4.2.5 and PHP 7.x this mod was causing a fatal error in the init_startup plugin which means you can't get to the admincp or the forum. You can either do the edits below before upgrading to PHP7, or add the disable hooks line to your config.php file to get access back if you already updated:


define("DISABLE_HOOKS",true);



In Plugin Manager edit the Explain plugin (on hook init)startup) as follows.

Find the line:

$newdb =& new vB_Database_Explain($vbulletin);

and comment it out - which means change it to:

//$newdb =& new vB_Database_Explain($vbulletin);

Then find the line:

$newdb =& new vB_Database_MySQLi_Explain($vbulletin);

and change it to:

$newdb = new vB_Database_MySQLi_Explain($vbulletin);

That should fix the error.

If you added the disable hooks line to config.php you can now remove it or comment it out.
