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 - a block for running custom PHP on a pge - a block for quickly accessing devel pages - a block for masquerading as other users (useful for testing) - reports memory usage at bottom of page - 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(). You might also download Krumo from http://krumo.sourceforge.net/. Unpack it into a subdirectory called krumo. Devel will automatically start using it. You may also call krumo($variable) to get a pretty print of any variable. - You should grab fb.php from http://www.firephp.org/ and put it in the devel directory. Then you can log php variables to the firebug console. Is quite useful. See http://www.firephp.org/ for usage information. Included in this package is also: - devel_themer.module which outputs deep information related to all theme calls on a page. - 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 - macro.module which records form submissions and can pay them back later or on another site.
