Introduction

As a novice eZPublish programmer 6 year ago my biggest problem was always trying to find my data.

Gaetano Giunta	Friday 27 May 2011 12:58:59 am Interesting and useful, thanks! I think I'm gonna run with this code and integrate it into ggsysinfo... Btw, did you ever try the latest version of the http://projects.ez.no/ezdebug_template_operator extension? It has a souped up version of the attribute() operator that is light years ahead of the original - plus another operator to list all the template variables defined in the current scope (ndt: not my code in the first place). These two together are imho priceless for the noob eZ developer. Principal Consultant International Business Member of the Community Project Board
Marko Žmak	Friday 27 May 2011 6:15:19 am One extension I found to be usefull is show_variables: http://projects.ez.no/show_variables It helped me a lot in detecting which variables are presen in attribute view template and also embed template (who would have tought of using $#ContentAttribute: namespace). @gateano: Does the ezdebug_template_operator extension include the same functionality as show_variables? -- Nothing is impossible.

Steven E. Bailey	Saturday 28 May 2011 7:57:39 am Thanks, I hadn't looked at either of these projects. I'm going to look at the code now.

Marko Žmak	Sunday 29 May 2011 3:54:41 pm " @marko: yes - stole the idea and the code too ;-) " Great, so the ezdebug_template operator contains the enhanced version of the show_variable... I supose getDefinedvars is the equivalent... Any chances of getting some docs about the operators? -- Nothing is impossible. Not if you can imagine it! Hubert Farnsworth

Small "top-note" : the debug-log operator has been around for some time now, not documented from day one but this is fixed today : http://doc.ez.no/eZ-Publish/Technical-manual/4.x/Reference/Template-functions/Debugging/debug-log/(language)/eng-GB Small 2 cents, sometimes useful, Cheers ! -- Nicolas Pastorino Director Community - eZ Member of the Community Project Board eZ Publish Community on twitter: http://twitter.com/ezcommunity t : http://twitter.com/jeanvoye G+ : http://plus.tl/jeanvoye
