Superglobals Plus

Is there a reason why there is an extra constant used in the admin side?

In
admin
/includes/functions/extra_functions/superglobals.php

there is this constant defined:

define('SHOW_SUPERGLOBALS_FROM_ADMIN', TRUE);

this is only used in the main function in
catalog
includes\functions\extra_functions\superglobals.php

if (defined('SHOW_SUPERGLOBALS_FROM_ADMIN')){
  // the script is being called from the admin
  if((SHOW_SUPERGLOBALS_ADMIN == 'true').......
```SHOW_SUPERGLOBALS_ADMIN is the constant used in the administration page. Why not just use that one and remove the overall "if"?

Hi torvista,

the same function is used for both the admin and catalog side, and the defined('SHOW_SUPERGLOBALS_FROM_ADMIN') check is to determine if the funtion is called from the admin or catalogue. The SHOW_SUPERGLOBALS_ADMIN definition however is used to enable or disable the superglobals script depending on the admin configuration setting.

If only the value of SHOW_SUPERGLOBALS_ADMIN is used, the superglobals script will be enabled for both the admin and catalog if SHOW_SUPERGLOBALS_ADMIN is True.

(I am not sure though why I haven't used the existing IS_ADMIN_FLAG definition for this, maybe to make it fully independent of Zen Cart.)

Update:

• Display superglobals in popup window.

• CSS only loads if required.

For now zip attached to this post.

Can SGP1.31 be used with 139h.

Thanks in advance

Yes, it's compatible with all 1.3.9 versions (and 1.5.0., lat9 has included instructions for both).

Nice! That makes it much easier to go back and forth between the variables that are "in play" and the rendered result.

Superglobals Plus v1.4 has been submitted to "Free Software Add-ons". That version includes the popup window feature that paulm previously posted.

Super Globals Plus v1.4.1 has been submitted to the Plugins area. This version updates the htmlentities calls to ensure PHP 5.4 compliance and corrects a couple of HTML validation issues.

Super Globals Plus v1.4.2 has been submitted to the Plugins area:

• Updated installation SQL files to correct problem documented by swguy here
• Added new configuration value for v1.5.0 and later SQL values to control whether or not the *queryCache *object is shown. This object can be **huge **and takes a while to process. Changes made to the superglobals.sql file as well as /includes/functions/extra_functions/superglobals.php. Note that the *queryCache *object was introduced in Zen Cart v1.5.1; changing this configuration value on a v1.5.0 installation will have no effect.

This object can be **huge **and takes a while to process.
Yes, my local development server can't deal with superglobals showing this...times out. The query cache filter is most welcome, thanks for the update.

Grrr, I got bit by the :censored: PHP feechur documented here: https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=39579. I was wondering why, all of a sudden, array index 0 wasn't being output by superglobals. The fix is to use the === operator on line 139 of /includes/functions/extra_functions/superglobals.php:

        if ( !$showQueryCache && $key === 'queryCache' ) continue;  /*v1.4.3-c-lat9*/

I'll be submitting this update to the plugins area shortly.

v1.4.4 has been submitted to the plugins area, containing a couple of cleanups:

1. Corrected validation errors (empty <strong> tags and popup display) — torvista
2. Added "future proofing" around call to mysql_fetch_array call (deprecated in PHP 5.5) — lat9

:thumbsup: I started using this tool a while ago and I must say it is just wonderful. It really enhanced my understanding of Zen Cart, and is very helpful in finding certain settings in cookies and other variables.

v1.5.0 has been submitted to the plugins area (http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=524), containing downwardly-compatible Zen Cart v1.5.2 changes in the /YOUR_ADMIN_OPTIONAL directory.

v1.6 of this plugin has been submitted:

• BUGFIX: SQL uninstall scripts need to account for cgi of 0.
• Zen Cart v1.5.3 compatability changes
• Incorporate database update into PHP script (no more SQL patch for installation)
• Added configuration value to allow entry of a list of variables to be excluded from the superglobals display
• Incorporate previous admin-optional changes into the mainline, simplifying the installation

I have it installed but when adding to the shopping cart it only displays Array () and doesn't change no matter what the admin settings are. No popup. No ipaddress only. Working fine in admin. The catalog files are all in the right place. I've done this before with no issue. Have no clue what might be going on but it's not my server. Is any of this dependent on server settings?

There are no server-setting dependencies. When you say "**it **only displays Array ()", what is it?

at the bottom of the page when looking at the website. It displays normally in admin with the styling and everything.

You can see it here: http://www.picpads.com/dev/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=8

Looking at the source of the page link, there's no

<!--bof- superglobals display -->

before the Array () output. Since the admin is working properly, the configuration settings are OK and /includes/functions/extra_functions/superglobals.php is in place. I suggest that you re-examine the code merge made to /includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_main_page.php.
