ATK Debugging

Debugging is enabled using the following configuration variable:

  $config_debug = 1;

The $config_debug setting can have various values:

1 - general debugging output is appended to every screen
2 - like 1, but with the addition that redirects are paused so you can see what happens right before the page would normally redirect
3 - like 2, but adds stack trace information and detailed query debugging to every statement. Has a significant performance impact so use only when necessary
0 - Turn off debugging. Debugging information is still collected under the hood, to be able to use it in case of errors.
-1 - Like 0, but now no debugging information is collected at all. Performs the best, but is the hardest to find problems.

Jeroen an Sluijs created a firefox plugin that allows ATK application developers to easily turn on/off debugging from within the browser. See the Debughelper Firefox Add-on page for details.
