Dependencies ============ [](#dependencies) - SilverStripe 3.1+ - Betterbuttons Features ======== [](#features) - Performance of page loads - Visualisation of current site state (DEV/TEST/LIVE) - Admins can emulate any other user - `IconSelectField` to use icon libraries within the CMS - Automatic redirection from development domains, when in LIVE mode - `LogJam` logging to append system error log - BugHerd integration Installation ============ [](#installation) 1. Add to your composer requirements `composer require jaedb/dev-tools` 2. Edit your theme's `templates/Page.ss` template and add `$DebugTools` immediately before the `` tag 3. Run /dev/build?flush=1 4. Toggle debug tools by turning your site to DEV or TEST modes (disabled on LIVE sites for obvious reasons) 5. Set the site's *BugHerd* project key in `config.yml`. See [config/dev-tools.yml](https://github.com/PlasticStudio/dev-tools/blob/master/_config/dev-tools.yml) for an example. Usage ===== [](#usage) ### Primary domain redirection [](#primary-domain-redirection) When you set your `SS_PRIMARY_DOMAIN` property on a `live` website, we automatically redirect to this primary domain. This avoids the need for bloated .htaccess redirections and allows control at the environment level. - Set your preferred domain in `_ss_environment.php` - Consider whether you want http vs https, and include this in your domain (but exclude trailing slash!). - Example: `define('SS_PRIMARY_DOMAIN', 'https://plasticstudio.co.nz');` will redirect to . - To completely disable this functionality set `disable_primary_domain_redirection: true` in your project's `config.yml` ### Debug Tools [](#debug-tools) [![Debug tools](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PlasticStudio/dev-tools/master/source/screenshot-debugtools.jpg)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PlasticStudio/dev-tools/master/source/screenshot-debugtools.jpg) - Manage the visibility of the Debug Tools from within the CMS, under *Settings* - Manage ability to Emulate users, also under *Settings* ### IconSelectField [](#iconselectfield) [![IconSelectField](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PlasticStudio/dev-tools/master/source/screenshot-iconselectfield.jpg)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PlasticStudio/dev-tools/master/source/screenshot-iconselectfield.jpg) - Set your `$db` field to type `Icon` (eg `'PageIcon' => 'Icon'`) - `IconSelectField::create($name, $title, $iconFolder)` - `$name` is the database field as defined in your class - `$title` is the label for this field - `$iconFolder` (optional) defines the directory where your icons can be found. Defaults to `/site/icons`. - Use your icon in templates as you would any other property (eg `$PageIcon`). If your icon is an SVG, the SVG image data will be injected into the template. To prevent this, you can call `$PageIcon.IMG` instead to enforce use of `` tags. ### LogJam [](#logjam) - `LogJam::Log($message, $environment)` - `$message` a string that you'd like to log - `$environment` (optional) the type of environment that should log this message (ie *test*, *dev*, *live*). Defaults to `dev`. 1. Enable LogJam in `_config.php` by adding `LogJam::EnableLog();` 2. Check your log file location. Set this in `_ss_environment.php` with the following: ``` ini_set('log_errors','on'); ini_set('error_log','/home/mywebsite/logs/php.log'); ``` ### Health Score 31 — LowBetter than 66% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity12 Limited adoption so far Community10 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity71 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 94.8% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
