Debug Mode In Admincp Only

[Logikos]

What this does:
This will turn debug mode on in the admincp area only. Sometimes you might want to make a change to the master style, or add a quick vBulletin option but don't want your users seeing any query/template info on the footer of your forums.

I placed this as a hack since you have to hack a file to do it. I was debating if it was more of a how-to or a hack. I'll let the mods decide.

In /includes/config.php Find:

$config['Mysqli']['ini_file'] = '';

Add Under:

if (VB_AREA == 'AdminCP')
{
$config['Misc']['debug'] = true;
}


Done! Yes a very small hack I know.

Hmm i think there was once a talk about adding an Admin only debug mode over at vb.com, and it was agreed by jelsoft staff that this could be very usefull. But i like this also.

i have an admin only debug mode hack released for 3.0 which works for 3.5 as well :)

I was going to use that but yours has file edits. :(

[Barakat]

thanks for that ....

[Xenon]

as the debug var is one of the most important things, it has to be a file edit ;)
it has to be set in config.php

Enabling debug mode in config.php doesn't really count as a file edit, as it does not invalidate support ;)

True, but if I remember right, yours did file edits in another file, too, right?

I used this in combination with a patched up version of Stefan's hack to turn debug mode on by clicking a link in the admincp. Life is good. :)

Care to share? ;)

[amykhar]

No. Sorry. It's Stefan's mod and he gets the priv. of porting it. Besides, I didn't write down what I was doing when I did it.

Amy

[Xenon]

i will release the ported version when i am back :)

@Bob: the patch of init.php was not nessesary, it was just to enable debugmode when you are logged out as well ;)

but let's stop discussing another hack here, this is Live Wires's hack thread.

[Logikos]

Ya get out of here! :p

[Boofo]

I'm gone! bi-bi ;)

[amykhar]

Livey, my boy, you're looking at this the wrong way :D The more we talk in here - and it doesn't matter about what cause nobody reads it anyway :D - the higher your mod stays in the list. You have a bug-free hack here. Without us yapping, it would sink like a stone in the forum list.

Amy

[Logikos]

lmao good point. Boofo come back!!!!!!one. :p

[Bubble #5]

Great hack Live Wire! Should be standard feature in vB :)

Ma'am I read it ...... uncle Boofo make her stop.




@Live Wire - thank you Sir.

[Boofo]

LMAO @ Zach

[Mudvayne]

is thr any way to enable debugmode in acp just for userid 1? or like tht.. 1,2,3 etc etc

[Logikos]

if (VB_AREA == 'AdminCP' and $bbuserinfo[userid] == 'X')
{
$config['Misc']['debug'] = true;
}


Something like that, but I don't think vB will read the $bbuserinfo[] in the config.php file. Worth a shot.

[Mudvayne]

hehe tried but even it wont start debug option auch.. Kirby.. requesting u to make a solution.. it would be usefull coz not all the admin need the debug option in acp..
/ping Kirby :P

[Logikos]

Did you change the X to the userid of choice?

[Mudvayne]

Did you change the X to the userid of choice?

Nahhhhhhh.. wont work.. yah i changed X also try $vbulletin->userinfo[userid] == 'X') & [userid] == X)

nothing work :(

[Logikos]

Yea, it's because the config.php file is read before those variables take place. I would ask Kirby, he might have an answer for you. :)

[akanevsky]

How about making this a plugin? ;)
If you do, variables in question might start workin'. ;)

I'd make some turn on/off option in vbulletin options, with a couple of permissions or something. :)
