In vBulletin they have a debug mode - and it is extremely useful, especially for people wanting to modify vBulletin. Their debug mode allows you to see what parts of the forum are calling which hooks, as shown below:  As you can see, it shows what hooks are being called (that is the showthread.php page) - so you have an idea of which hook to use. It also holds information about page loads, global phrases etc. How to turn debug mode on? Put this in your config.php: PHP Code:
$config['Misc']['debug'] = true;
PHP Code:
if($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] == 'Your IP') {
Additional info: You must be in debug mode in order to edit/create new settings/settings groups, as well as adding templates to custom products. Some other features is the rebuild bitfields, option to edit the admin help manager (blue ?) and some more. |
