- README.txt
- ==========
- 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.
- 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.
- This happens automatically when you enable via drush. You may also
- use a 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.
- Included in this package is also:
- - devel_node_access module which 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 which bulk creates nodes, users, comment, terms for development
- Some nifty drush integration ships with devel and devel_generate. See drush help for details.
- 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.
- 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.
