Debug Module for 2.3.4BS

[Guest]

After looking through the forums and reviewing the few existing addons, I was wondering what others use to capture and output debug information to the screen.  I needed some basic debug info so I quickly created a simple footer module that will output $_SESSION, $_POST, $_GET vars; however, it isn't very comprehensive.  No DB info.

 

Please share what addon you use or if you are interested in sharing code that you have put together.  

 

Thanks in advance,  M.

Have a look at http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/2575and see if the database code in there does what you need.

@@Bob Terveuren - Thanks for the post.

 

It appears there are two addons that are more recently developed (though it has been several years).  I've used Chemo's back in 2.2 days.

 

Queries Debug GUI

and

 

KissER Error Handling & Debugging

Before diving into either of these.  My hope was that someone may have beaten me to making a mod.  As I mentioned, the one I put together was quick n dirty.

Hi - if it is for your own use just go quick and dirty, if you want to release it as a contribution add-on then make it squeaky clean and you'll still get people shouting at you !

 

Chemo's stuff usually worked well even if his name was not to be typed around here for quite a long time....

I've used both chemo's and FWR  in the past but except for the gui verson jack- mcs released, they are not supported anymore.

 

I just came across a wordpress plugin that would be ideal if it existed for oscommerce

I looked at the code, but I'm not familiar with wp enough to understand it all.

I assume something similar could be built for oscommerce as parts of it already exists within oscommerce (queries debug) or adapted from wordpress php code ?

I just created a post with details on how to setup a basic error log and tailing the errors from your browser

Thanks for sharing.  I wanted something more basic.  I ended up putting together a content module that just outputs variables and sql commands.  Again, very basic considering the system already offers the ability to dump to file.
