If Only I Knew That!

The new CI 2.0 Profiler has configurable sections + 2 new additional sections (http_headers and config).

You’ll need to edit application/config/profiler.php

<?php  if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
/*

I previously used a modified version of MY_Profiler from dragffy.com. I modified it to add a button to the top of the page that would show or hide the profiler when needed and could also hide the profiler button totally.

To save time commenting and uncommenting during development we use a little trick with the comment block that allows us to add or remove a single character ‘\’ to comment/uncomment a block.

Uncommented

Quick and simple time saver
