    Default Name Of Browser Utility That Shows Where Files Are Located For Editing

    Hello all,

    I'm trying to find the link to a browser utility that was listed here that enables a person to see their Zen Cart store from the browser while it highlights all parts of the page, and it tells you where that part is located within the store folder so you can easily know what file you need to change to make changes to the store.

    Do you know what that utility is called?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Don't know of what you speak but in the Admin >> Tools >> Developers Tool Kit -- you can search for a term on the site and it will find the file for you.

    You may also be thinking of the Web Developer plugin for the Firefox browser, which shows you what CSS id's and classes are associated with page elements.

    Hello, and thanks for the reply.

    But what I'm looking for is the tool that I mentioned because I won't have to go to the admin area and do a search to know which files I need to edit. This tool is added to your browser (I'm using Firefox), and when it's loaded, all you have to do is go to your store front (customer end), and it'll highlight the whole page showing you what files are making up the page, and the location of each file.

    An example: I could click on the Sponsors block and it'll display the location and file name. The same with any other part of your page. Just hover your mouse over it (I think that's all) then it'll display where that element is located.

    I had used it once before on another computer, but after a hd crash, it was gone, along with everything else.

    Hopefully someone will know what utility I'm talking about. In the meantime, I'm still looking for it and I'm doing all types of search terms, but no luck so far.
