==========

A module containing helper functions for Drupal developers and inquisitive admins.

This module can print a log of all database queries for each page request at

the bottom of each page. The summary includes how many times each query was

executed on a page, and how long each query took.

 It also offers

 - a block for running custom PHP on a page

 - a block for quickly accessing devel pages

 - a block for masquerading as other users (useful for testing)

 - reports memory usage at bottom of page

 - A mail-system class which redirects outbound email to files

 - more

 This module is safe to use on a production site. Just be sure to only grant

 'access development information' permission to developers.

Also a dpr() function is provided, which pretty prints arrays and strings.

Useful during development. Many other nice functions like dpm(), dvm().

AJAX developers in particular ought to install FirePHP Core from

http://www.firephp.org/ and put it in the devel directory.

This happens automatically when you enable via Drush. You may also

use a Drush command to download the library. If downloading by hand,

your path to fb.php should look like libraries/FirePHPCore/lib/FirePHPCore/fb.php.

You can use svn checkout http://firephp.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/trunk/Libraries/FirePHPCore.

Then you can log php variables to the Firebug console. Is quite useful.

Included in this package is also:

- devel_node_access module which prints out the node_access records for a given node. Also offers hook_node_access_explain for all node access modules to implement. Handy.

- devel_generate.module which bulk creates nodes, users, comment, terms for development.

Some nifty Drush integration ships with devel and devel_generate. See `drush help` for details.

DEVEL GENERATE EXTENSIONS

=========================

Devel Images Provider [http://drupal.org/project/devel_image_provider] allows to configure external providers for images.

COMPATIBILITY NOTES

==================

- Modules that use AHAH may have incompatibility with the query log and other

  footer info. Consider setting $GLOBALS['devel_shutdown'] = FALSE if you run into

  any issues.

DRUSH UNIT TEST

==================

See develDrushTest.php for an example of unit testing of the Drush integration.

This uses Drush's own test framework, based on PHPUnit. To run the tests, use

run-tests-drush.sh. You may pass in any arguments that are valid for `phpunit`.
