Debug toolbar for Plone

Project description

Introduction

plone.app.debugtoolbar provides a wealth of debug information about a running Plone site at your fingertips.

Translations

This product has been translated into

  • Italian (thanks, Giacomo Spettoli)

  • Spanish (thanks, Leonardo J. Caballero G.)

Installation

Simply install it in your build (e.g. by adding it to the eggs list in your Buildout):

[buildout]

...

eggs =
    plone.app.debugtoolbar

and re-running the bin/buildout command and install it into your Plone site.

You should now see a Debug link at the top of your site. Click it to open the debug drawer. Click on a panel to view relevant information.

Panels include:

  • Context, showing information about the current content object

  • Interactive, providing an interactive Python prompt through which you can interact with the current context (only available to users with the Manage portal permission)

  • Request, showing information about the request that produced the current page

  • Response, showing information about the response that produced the current page

  • Published, showing information about the page template or view that was published

  • Theme, showing information about the current theme and browser layers

  • User, showing information about the current user

  • Workflow, showing information about workflow and security

  • Zope, showing information about how the Zope server is configured

  • Versions, listing the versions of every package known to the Zope process

Safety

The debug toolbar provides a lot of information about your Plone site that you may not want the world to know. It could also have a noticeable performance impact, and for users with the Manage portal permission it provides access to an interactive interpreter where arbitrary Python statements can be executed, allowing a user to bypass Zope security.

In other words: Do not install this package on your production server.

Integration

Each panels is included as a viewlet. You can register new panels using a viewlet registration like this:

<browser:viewlet
    name="plone.app.debugtoolbar.somepanel"
    manager="plone.app.debugtoolbar.browser.interfaces.IDebugToolbarViewletManager"
    class=".somepanel.SomePanelViewlet"
    template="somepanel.pt"
    permission="zope2.View"
    layer="plone.app.debugtoolbar.browser.interfaces.IDebugToolbarLayer"
    />

See plone.app.debugtoolbar.browser for plenty of examples of panels.
