Trace Console Insert Dreamweaver Extension
Speed up your extension debugging!
The Trace Console Insert extension for Dreamweaver helps writing Trace Console instructions in order to debug Dreamweaver extensions.
The Trace Console extension for Dreamweaver is part of the Dreamweaver Platform SDK, freely available in Dreamweaver Exchange. The Trace Console helps debugging your extensions by outputting variable content. You can find more information on the use of the Trace Console when you install the Dreamweaver Platform SDK in the /SDK/Tools/Trace Console/Using The Trace Console.html file of your Dreamweaver installation folder.
The Trace Console extension is therefore required to use the Trace Console Insert extension. You can get it for free in Dreamweaver Exchange.
The Trace Console Insert extension provides a graphical and convenient interface to write Trace Console instructions faster and safer (no typos!).
Instructions for use
Use the Adobe Extension Manager to install Trace Console Insert and re-start Dreamweaver. You can start the Extension Manager from Dreamweaver by choosing Commands > Manage Extensions.
Open the Trace Console Window by clicking the Window menu and selecting Trace Console. If window is grayed out, see instructions below in Trace Console Window Grayed Out.
In code mode and on a Dreamweaver extension page (.js or .htm), right click on the page, where you want to insert code.
Trace Console Insert adds a new command to the context menu that appears, namely Insert Trace Console. You can then chose among the various statements to insert.
Dialog boxes provide a quick helper on the instruction added and its required arguments.
Trace Console Window Grayed Out
If the Trace Console window is grayed out, here’s a quick solver.
Open TraceWindow.htm in Dreamweaver’s Configuration/Floaters folder and add the following piece of code in the head section of the .htm file:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
// Display in Code mode
function isAvailableInCodeView() {
return true;
}
</script>
Save file and restart Dreamweaver.
