Object Inspector

From XOMBO Documentation

Introduction

This chapter introduces object debugging with the Object Inspector view. The Object Inspector (AdminInspector) creates a temporary object instance and “var_dump”s the properties and methods to a text display.

Inspecting an Object

From the Object Inspector on the Main Menu, select the object you wish to inspect from the drop-down list. You can instantiate a specific instance of an object by inserting its ID in the box to the right of the list. The default instance to inspect is 1. Depending on your configuration and data, there may not always be data in the first instance.

Once you have selected the class and an instance click the “Inspect” button. In a moment, a text box will appear below containing the var_dump of your object.

You can use the information contained in the var_dump to help debug and develop your control objects.
