Jean-Marc Cogniard	Monday 19 July 2010 4:22:36 am Hi, I'm new to eZ and would like to know how to debug template : trace, breakpoint ... (My site is running under 4.1.3) Thanks for your help.

Kévin S.	Tuesday 20 July 2010 12:39:47 am Bonjour Jean-Marc. You can show template debug very easily : in the site.ini.append.php of your siteaccess (located in eZPublishRoot/settings/siteaccess/[your siteaccess]/) you just have to add : [DebugSettings] DebugOutput=enabled [TemplateSettings] Debug=enabled ShowUsedTemplates=enabled You can also do it from the front-office editing interface, which you can access using the "login" page, without checking the checkbox "go in administration interface". Then you can choose which debug you want to display or to hide.
Brandon Chambers	Wednesday 21 July 2010 10:30:29 am If you're having trouble with an object or node you can examine the structure of the node or object by using template code: {$node\|attribute('show',1)} or {$node.data_map\|attribute('show',1)} The second parameter in the attribute operator will allow you to control the depth of the debug output. I have them set as a level of 1. You can try 2 or 3 (keep in mind the page will look huge and is less readable) but I suggest no more than 2 levels if necessary.

Nicolas Pastorino	Wednesday 21 July 2010 1:53:11 pm Another useful, undocumented one is : {debug-log var=$myVar msg='var dumping $myVar'} It will show in the debug output (which needs to be enabled, see Kévin's post above about this) your template variable, like a var_dump() in PHP, under a section called 'var dumping $myVar'. Hope this helps !
