Support Thread: Report All Errors (Even Warnings)

[lat9]

I was looking for an easy way to enable all error-reporting during my debugging ... and came up with this plugin. The plugin overwrites two core files to enable you to use a simple $_GET variable (report_all) to enable all error reporting for the selected page.

I'll be submitting this to the Plugins area shortly -- now that I've got a support thread!

[lat9]

The plugin is available for download here: http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1792

I've just submitted v1.1.0 to the Plugins, which uses admin-configurable settings to enable/disable the feature instead of the $_GET variable approach used in v1.0.0.

P.S. No longer any core-file overwrites!

v1.1.0 is now available for download ...

Another excellent stick to beat myself over the head with! Well done, I hope the devs use this...

Maybe some user notes here would beneficial for the unwary.
i.e.
Notices about undefined or already defined constants in core code should be ignored unless no substitution has been assumed.
Warnings associated with core code are unlikely to be fixed at this point.
Just concentrate on warnings associated with your mods.

Good point, I'll put together a proposal and post here before including it in the updated readme.html file.

... Notices about undefined or already defined constants in core code should be ignored unless no substitution has been assumed. ...

I just submitted v2.0.0 to the Plugins for review. That version adds another configuration setting (IgnoreDups) that causes those "already defined constant" notifications to not be logged.

Here's the first of the list of PHP warnings that can be safely ignored:

The first time you enable the reporting of all errors on your store, you might see a number of items similar to

PHP Notice:  Constant SOME_LANGUAGE_CONSTANT_NAME already defined in {DIR_FS_CATALOG}\includes\languages\english.php on line xxx

These "notice" messages are issued if your store has made a template-based change to the default language file (for this example, english.php). That's because Zen Cart first loads your template-override language file and then — because sometimes new messages are introduced with a new Zen Cart version — loads the default language file.
