Sorry guys, I accidentaly removed the comments history while fixing the uploaded zip file.

These were all the comments so far on this release:

coolsam001: thanks andras for this wonderful plugin. this will be nice addition for the
website admin.

shanu: Hi andras. i couldnt find any settings in tool administration after
enabling this plugin.

shanu: @andras its working well now fr me.. actually what i did is i just
downloaded in and extracted and pasted the folder into mod. so it didnt
work well fr me.. bt later i just renamed the extracted folder name from
content_debugger-1.0.0 to content_debugger. this worked out for me.. thank
you andras..

@shanu: thanks for your report, I fixed the uploaded zip file, now it contains a folder called "content_debugger", without the version number. This should solve the issue.

@andras yes.. its fine now. does this plugin work with  CSS elgg topbar - draganjovan_topbar?

@shanu: I think it should - I don't see any reason why these two plugins would collide.

However, if you don't see the "Developer" menu for some reason in your topbar, you can always hit this page:

http://your.site.com/pg/content_debugger/toggle

to turn the Content Debugger feature on and off.

This looks really cool! I am gonna grab and play with it right now :)

Neat stuff. Thanks for the plugin :)

I officially love you! This is a brilliant plugin, indispensible in plugin development, especially theming!

@ihayredinov, @brett

thank you guys for the support! I just realised that the plugin does not display view info for ajax loaded content, however - at first assessment - i think i might have an easy fix for that too. Stay tuned!

This is possibly the best plugin ever for someone new to the Elgg scene, and I'm sure it comes in handy for the seasoned dev too.  Thanks Andras!

Very,very good plugin! As this list of comments clearly indicates!

@andras as CSS elgg topbar - draganjovan_topbar is used for topbar purpose and your plugins links viewed in topbar. so these two gets merged somewer in css.. so these issue arise. but as u said i was using this url http://your.site.com/pg/content_debugger/toggle to ovrecome from this issue. you simply rockk andras....

Matt, bpreston, shanu: thanks all for your feedback and support. This feels great :)

shanu: good to know this issue. WIll have a look at this collision before the next release.

+1 @shanu,

I don't use the topbar at all, and it took me a good guess to figure out where to toggle it. Perhaps you could just add it to the footer?

@ihayredinov Hmm not sure about that. I mean I could, I just don't feel that this belongs to the footer. Also the same way you don't use the topbar, others might not use the footer. Need to figure out an easy and cross-theme way to enable/disable this feature. Suggestions are welcome.

By the way, as mentioned before, if you simply put a link anywhere in your template, pointing to http://your.site.com/pg/content_debugger/toggle, then you have your own button to turn on and off this feature.

Well, since it's an admin tool, why don't you add a side menu item in the admin context?

Great contribution Andras. Really usefull in analyzing third party plugins.

@ihayredinov: I think I might do that, I just wanted to have this available on any page without the need for navigating away to the admin menu. Thanks for the tip.

Andras, very nice plugin. In fact I was working on very similar solution for some time, you saved me some trouble ;)

There's one more feature which would be very usefull - option of copy-pasting content of the bubble box.

For my solution also ?debug=1 passed in GET to trigger debug worked very well.

Mike, thanks for the feedback. For the copy-paste, I'm not sure how to implement - currently the tip moves with your mouse and doesn't listen to pointer events. Maybe I could listen for keyboard events as well and there would be a shortcut for copying the tooltip text? Need to think it through for the next release.

As for the passing ?debug=1 to the page handler, it's a good idea - only issue i can see is, it won't work ajax content. (Not that my current implementation works for ajax content, but that will be an easy fix).

Anyway, good ideas, thanks for contributing!

Very interesting... but did not work at once with our own theme ( no link and toggling using direct link makes no difference)

. Have to find out what is inhibiting.

@Tom, I've noticed that in some browsers, the link is hidden behind the bar... probably zIndex issue

@Tom do you have the comments generated by the plugin in your source? (i.e. after toggling the Content Debugger via the direct link)

You should see html comments with the following pattern:

<!-- content_debugger_view_start::

If you see those comments, than probably the javascript side fails somewhere. Please check your console in firebug.

Hi Andras,

I'm back to working with 1.8 and I'm happy to report that other than complaining about deprecated extend_view, and no link on the topbar, content_debugger appears to be working in 1.8 with no modifications.

Hi Matt,

this is really great news, thanks for sharing. I really need to find the time to update all my plugins to 1.8 very soon.
