Patrick Kaiser	Sunday 18 June 2006 3:25:42 am hi, have a look at the 'dynamic debug' contribution. its a big improovement to the build in 'attribute\|show' opperator.. http://ez.no/community/contribs/hacks/dynamic_debug since the node object in ez publish is ways bigger than arrays/objects you would normally assign to a smarty template, it wouldnt be a good appoach to display all attributes of $node in ez by default (although you can define the disered depths in attribute\|show ). Anyway - you won't be able to debug effectivly if you don't know the names of your attributes.. cheers, patrick Best regards, Patrick

For the knowing the name of the variable part; what I meant was in Smarty debug there's a list of variables passed to the template engine per name, not necessarily the actual content of each and every variable. Though the $node var is indeed the most important one, it would be nice in some occasions like dealing with collectors and customizing xml tags for the first time when you're not really sure what variables are present. . muusle
Kristof Coomans	Sunday 18 June 2006 11:40:38 pm You mean something like the get_defined_vars function of PHP ( http://be2.php.net/manual/en/function.get-defined-vars.php ) ? That would be a nice addition. Template writers who don't have any knowledge about the kernel now have to take a look in the specific modules to see what's passed by to the template. Can you post an enhancement request for this? independent eZ Publish developer and service provider \| http://blog.coomanskristof.be \| http://ezpedia.org
Muu Sle	Monday 19 June 2006 4:08:40 am Hi Kristof, > You mean something like the get_defined_vars function of PHP Exactly like the get_defined_vars. // print all the available keys for the arrays of variables print_r(array_keys(get_defined_vars())); I think this would help many first timers and perhaps the more experienced ones too, when working with extensions and such. > Can you post an enhancement request for this? Will do. . muusle
