@Abhimanyu: Did you check the value of $this->params['url']['ext']?

@DQ: As Rafael already mentioned, you can fork the project.

Yes, a forum (or something similar) is missing. On the other hand I think people probably don’t mind if you post debugkit-related things to the cakephp google group.

@Rafael: Same here, I also noticed that debugkit doesn’t like it if you use a custom view class…

A helper based version is on development and is already in github, on the original repo in “helper-toolbar” branch, and on AD7six’ fork. Haven’t tested nor tried, but looks nice.

@DQ : Remember that it’s hosted on github, so ou can easily fork the project, apply your changes and ask them to be pushed to the original project, or just have it customized to fit your ideas.
I’ve forked it and, by now, improved it’s CSS a little. You can find me there as rafaelbandeira3.

Debug Kit really kick some bad times on every-day debugs. Is a must have on development mode. I only think that the dependency of a view class makes it very intrusive, although there are almost no one who uses extended views, I do it a lot and then I have to apply some customizations to the plugin.
Maybe if it join the core, the view functionalities could be applied to a helper, wich would have some special use during the rendering process just as CacheHelper does.

Application’s “CakePHP DebugKit” css is very bad….. for me and my site.

The headlines go white and the lists also go white… Nice. Setting the css color: #000; for all the elements helps a bit, but still it’s a mess. Also the #debug-kit-toolbar { needs z-index. Please someone, give the project some css help.

There were no place to suggest any approvements (no forum or anything), so that was also bad for debugkit project.

@Abhimanyu: Hm, do you use Router::parseExtensions()?

I finally had some time today, to find out the issue – I’m sure other people are facing this as well.

In Toolbar::startup() the line where this plugins sets:
$controller->view = ‘DebugKit.Debug’;
before checking for a statement here:

if (!isset($controller->params['url']['ext']) || (isset($controller->param['url']['ext']) && $controller->params['url']['ext'] == ‘html’)) {
$controller->view = ‘DebugKit.Debug’;
} else {
//use firephp view class.
}

I see, it never enters the first part. Anyone knows the reason?

I had to manually set the view to use ‘DebugKit.Debug’ before I could get it working.
