Debug Mode In Admincp Only

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:

PHP Code:

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

Add Under:

PHP Code:

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 was going to use that but yours has file edits.

thanks for that ....

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?
