firebug

Even before diving into XDebug, check out the FireBug for Drupal project!

Install and enable the FireBug for Drupal module on your Drupal install, install the FireBug for Drupal FireFox extension and start debugging. The new Drupal panel in FireBug has a number of sub-panels to show essential information about the pages loaded. There are function calls you can make on the server to generate messages and everything goes to a FireBug for Drupal panel.

Once again I find myself discovering new Firefox extensions to aid my web site development, many based upon Firebug, a MUST HAVE extension. "Drupal For Firebug" is what I will be trying next. Any hints for what to do with it first? Any tips?

Please share what other FireFox Extensions you use, and in a month, I will publish a summary in our Wiki.

To add value to my post, below are some of the extensions I use, or new ones I just found and will be trying out.

I recently upgraded a website to drupal 5.19, and ever since updating, I am forced to run cron.php, and in some cases even clear the cache to see any changes I make to my style sheets, and/or .tpl files.

Also, around style, in firebug my style.css file is showing as 0f2ab7e0...62c1a.css

I am using Firefox 3.5.2 and Firebug 1.4.2

Anyone else experiencing issues like this?

Här är en screencast som berättar och visar hur man kan ha nytta av Firebug när man vill modifiera teman.
Om du är någorlunda ny med Drupal och vill testa att joxa med teman är detta en bra utgångspunkt.

Kolla screencasten på blip.tv.

PS: Så mycket för att meddela att jag inte skulle spela in en screencast idag.

I found this interesting and figured I would pass it along to the groups:
