- INTRODUCTION
- ------------
- A module containing helper functions for Drupal developers and inquisitive
- admins. This module can print a log of all database queries for each page
- request at the bottom of each page. The summary includes how many times each
- query was executed on a page, and how long each query took.
- - For a full description of the module visit:
- https://www.drupal.org/project/devel
- - To submit bug reports and feature suggestions, or to track changes visit:
- https://www.drupal.org/project/issues/devel
- It also offers
- - a block for running custom PHP on a page
- - a block for quickly accessing devel pages
- - a block for masquerading as other users (useful for testing)
- - reports memory usage at bottom of page
- - A mail-system class which redirects outbound email to files
- - more
- This module is safe to use on a production site. Just be sure to only grant
- 'access development information' permission to developers.
- Also a dpr() function is provided, which pretty prints arrays and strings.
- Useful during development. Many other nice functions like dpm(), dvm().
- AJAX developers in particular ought to install FirePHP Core from
- http://www.firephp.org/ and put it in the devel directory. You may use the
- devel-download drush command to download the library. If downloading by hand,
- your path to fb.php should look like
- devel/FirePHPCore/lib/FirePHPCore/fb.php. You can use svn checkout
- http://firephp.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/trunk/Libraries/FirePHPCore.
- Then you can log php variables to the Firebug console. Is quite useful.
- REQUIREMENTS
- ------------
- This module requires no modules outside of Drupal core.
- INCLUDED MODULES AND FEATURES
- -----------------------------
- Included in this package is also:
- - Devel Node Access module - Prints out the node_access records for a given
- node. Also offers hook_node_access_explain for all node access modules to
- implement. Handy.
- - Devel Generate module - Bulk creates nodes, users, comment, terms for
- development.
- Some nifty drush integration ships with Devel and Devel Generate. See drush help
- for details.
- DRUSH UNIT TEST - See develDrushTest.php for an example of unit testing of the
- Drush integration. This uses Drush's own test framework, based on PHPUnit. To
- run the tests, use
- phpunit --bootstrap=/path/to/drush/tests/drush_testcase.inc. Note that we must
- name a file under /tests there.
- RECOMMENDED MODULE
- ------------------
- Devel Generate Extensions - Devel Images Provider allows to configure external
- providers for images.
- - http://drupal.org/project/devel_image_provider
- INSTALLATION

- - Install the Devel module as you would normally install a contributed Drupal
- module. Visit https://www.drupal.org/node/895232 for further information.
- COMPATIBILITY NOTES
- -------------------
- - Modules that use AHAH may have incompatibility with the query log and other
- footer info. Consider setting $GLOBALS['devel_shutdown'] = FALSE if you run
- into any issues.
