README

        

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:

::

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