Howto: Fast enable debug mode

[Xenon]

Sometimes it is needed to enable the debug mode (when you want to download templatesets, or adding global templates by hands...)

normally you have to open config.php and enter $debug=1; in it.
but that's annoying if you need it more often

here's a fast way to give you the chance to enable/disable it from within your admin-cp:


run your admin/setting.php
at section Turn Your vBulletin on and off
klick add setting

use this:
Title
Enable Debug Mode

Variable Name
debug

Value
0

Description
If you want to add standart templates, or download templateset, you should set this to 1

Code to generate option
yesno

Display Order
3

that would be all


WARNING: enabled debugmode is a security risk. so always disable it after you've done what you wanted.....

There's a quicker phpinclude way... but I leave that up to Stefan to reveal... ;)

lol phpinclude template can be abusive :confused:

i like experimenting with it... i usually like going the config.php way... but thanks for the neat idea Xenon :)

didn't think of it that way before...

[Xenon]

well, but not everything is possible with this way....

$explain=1 wouldn't work, because the phpinclude is evaled after the explain is reset in global.php

[kdog316]

when would you want to edit global templates

[Xenon]

if you have a lot of templatesets and want to change one template in all of them for example?
