A CakePHP plugin containing additional panels for the DebugKit Toolbar.

Currently, the plugin has two panels:

1. Logfile Panel - Retrieve the last few lines of all the files under app/tmp/logs, similar to a tail.
2. Modelview Panel - Allows you to view the Model associated with the current Controller and it's associations

More panels might follow later.

• CakePHP 2.x
• A working CakePHP DebugKit installation

Using Composer

The easiest way to install the Plugin is by using Composer. The Plugin is available through the Packagist website. To install using composer, simply run:

php composer.phar require oldskool/debug-plus:dev-master

Manual

To manually install the plugin, clone the repository into your app/Plugin directory:

# cd app/Plugin
# git clone git://github.com/oldskool/DebugPlus.git

Finally, load the plugin from your app/Config/bootstrap.php, by adding the following line:

CakePlugin::load('DebugPlus');

Once you installed the plugin, you will still need to tell the DebugKit which of the additional panels (if any) you want to use. Open the file where you initiate the DebugKit.Toolbar plugin (usually app/Controller/AppController.php) and replace:

public $components = array('DebugKit.Toolbar');

With:

public $components = array('DebugKit.Toolbar' => array(
    'panels' => array('DebugPlus.PanelName')
));

Where PanelName is the name of the panel you want to load. For example, if you want to use the Logfile panel, you would load it using:

public $components = array('DebugKit.Toolbar' => array(
    'panels' => array('DebugPlus.Logfile')
));

You can also use multiple panels at once. Just extend the array with as many panels you want to activate.
