I’d like your opinion of an idea I had for a module, it’s inspired by the Smarty debug console. It would run as a seperate window alongside the website you’re working on, it should display at least the following things:
-
Log monitor: would show the latest log-entries, (near)realtime logging is possible using ajax
-
Info about controller actions, rendered views, etc
-
Info about environment variables, like Yii config, phpinfo(), host info
-
File explorer, browse remote files (handy when on cloudhosting with no FTP)
The most important thing is that the debug console is a seperate module that does not (or very minimally) interfere with the running website, so it won’t mess up the workings of the site, and it’s safe to use on a live site. The module could be secured with a password or IP (similar to GII).
Does something like this already exists? And what other functionality could be included?
