This is awesome. Why isn’t it in the dev docs though? An overview of the debug functionality and how to activate it (or even just a reference to this post) should be mentioned in capital letters right at the start of the developer docs!
Happy that I stumbled upon this post, but would’ve also been nice some weeks ago
We have to agree with you. Unfortunately (as you have noticed), we maintain 2 different things here (developer site and the community), and there is an overlap in which we need to become better on communicating to you future developers. Sorry 'bout that.
Just know we are aware of this, and we hope to bring change in this into the near future.
I’ve used this for some time and that worked fine, but since last week this doesn’t work anymore. So when I put “?debug=1” at the end, nothing is showing. I’ve asked a colleague of me and he doesn’t see it also. (so it’s not my PC). Is there something else why this shouldn’t work anymore?
No, &debug=1 instead of ?debug=1 also doesn’t work. It"s strange because it has work before on the PC I’m currently working on and also Julie had this problem, so it should not a problem of my PC.
I have been investigating and it seems that the debug mode does not work in templates that are part of a paying package in Silverfin. We will give you an update if this changes in the future.
In the meantime if there is anything we can help you with regarding a specific issue please let us know.
Now some of my calculations are useless because you changed some result tags and I have no way of finding the correct tags.
Is there anyway we can still get this information?
It is possible to create a template containing an (automatically generated) overview of all result tags within each template.
Please refer to the following case which we created for this purpose:
Creating such a template will grant you a way to stay up to date with all result tags (which, unfortunately, may sometimes change due to a necessary update).
Please let us me know if you have any questions about this.
TIP: to save you time typing out ?debug=1 in the URL, you can also create a bookmark in your browser of choice (Chrome eg), with the following Java-script:
Ok, I found what you meant. The debug mode indeed works fine when I am using it in a particular file, that is what you mean with the company level. Sorry, I was a bit confused.
Just for the sake of completeness (and I already started writing the message so won’t let it go to waste ):
Firm level (i.e. Bofidi in your case) = general settings, templates code, workflows/workflow working screen settings, etc. that apply for all companies in the specific firm.
Company level (i.e. files/customers of Bofidi) = where users navigate and input data.
