Debugging addon
Development and Programming
4 years ago
Hi, I’m pretty new with EE and php.
I’m coding my own addon (v5) which is quite simple, it just uses the ‘after_channel_entry_insert’ hook and makes a post request.
For me now is like a black box, how can I add log traces in some methods?
Thank you

Welcome. If you want to write to EE’s developer log (found in the Control Panel) then you can use the Logger class. https://docs.expressionengine.com/latest/development/legacy/libraries/logger.html#developerdata-update–false-expires–0
ee()->logger->developer('Log message.');If you want to write to the template debugger then you can use the log_item method from the Template class. https://docs.expressionengine.com/latest/development/legacy/libraries/template.html#log_itemstr-details–false
ee()->TMPL->log_item("An error has occurred");
