Turn on the debug mode

You can turn on the debug mode simple by adding:

PHP Code:


		
			
$config['Misc']['debug'] = true;

to your includes/config.php just before

Code:

/*======================================================================*\

|| ####################################################################

(which is at the end of the file ;))

To turn it off you may remove that line or change it to:

PHP Code:


		
			
 $config['Misc']['debug'] = false;

As a vb dev told me when I brought up the security implications of turning debug on: "You shouldn't be using debug mode on a live site. Use it on a private test installation that is controlled by .htaccess permissions."

Keep that in mind and if you plan to use debug on a live board for just a few minutes, make sure to turn it back off when you're done.

I mean the speed limit sign says 55 but I don't do 55... I go a little over. Sometimes I don't wear my seatbelt.

Tell me why I should go 55 and wear the seatbelt. :)

Then when you're done with that... tell me the reasons that debug mode creates a security issue... kthx :)

If your IP doesn't change and your the only one needing to use the debug mode, you can do this.

PHP Code:


		
			
 $config['Misc']['debug'] = ($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] == 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx');

I don't understand why it's not coded to only show the info to admins.

Maybe you want to test some things without beeing logged in as admin, or beeing logged in at all.

As I understand this, it's was never meant to be used on a "live" system anyway.

Actually, I have debug mode permanantly enabled in my config file - I then have a couple of plugins that disable it in the ACP and main forum, so if I need to turn it on I just disable the relevant plugin.

any idea to use userid instead of ip address?
