Drupal for Firebug: The Smarter Way to Debug Drupal
At last night’s San Francisco Drupal Users’ Group meetng, Matt Cheney of Chapter Three gave a demonstration of Drupal for Firebug — a combo Firefox extension and Drupal modle that lets you send Drupal debugging and status messages to Firebug.
“A smarter var_dump()” is one way to think of it. But it also does several other handy things, like let you see how and where forms are altered by various modules, gives you access to the user object for inspection, and lets you execute PHP from Firefox.
Definitely something to check out if you’re developing modules or themes for Drupal.
