Plone debug/development helper
Project description
Introduction
The Oracle is a debug/development helper app for Plone. It currently shows the following information about a given user/context:
Authenticated User Info - ID, member type, roles, etc.
Basic Context Info - ID, portal_type, path, absolute_url, etc.
Context Workflow Info - Review state, history, assigned workflow
Catalog Indexes
Catalog Metadata
Methods - Including security declarations
Attributes - including values
Valid/Invalid permissions (including security settings)
Context source code
Browser view registrations on context
Request content
It also provides a fast way to drop to PDB at any given context.
Installation/Use
To install, just stick it in your buildout, once you’ve got your instance running, there’s a few of views which you can use:
the_oracle - This is the main tool
opdb - Drops you to pdb at the current context (self.context)
Top Tip
If the Context Fields section isn’t showing enough information about the object schema, try adding ?extras=True to the url. This will show extended information (Searchable, Mode, Index and Edit Accessors, Vocabulary).
A Friendly Warning
DO NOT LEAVE THIS PRODUCT INSTALLED ON A PRODUCTION SITE! IT MASSIVELY UNDERMINES THE SECURITY OF THE SITE IT’S INSTALLED ON, AND IS VISIBLE TO ANY USER (EVEN ANONYMOUS). ALSO, BEARS WITH ASSAULT RIFLES WILL COME TO YOUR HOUSE AND ROUGH YOU UP IF YOU DO. TAKE A MOMENT TO THINK ABOUT THAT. BEARS. ANGRY BEARS. WITH GUNS. IN YOUR KITCHEN. EATING YOUR DINNER.
