element_list (module) & page_element_list (snippet) - Evolution diagnostic tools

After a recent thread asking about a way to figure out which snippets/chunks/plugins etc were running on a page, I fixed up this little diagnostic tool snippet.
page_element_list prints you a list of all snippets,chunks, tvs,placeholders,plugins, and settings each page uses, if you are logged into the manager and view the frontend pagge(s).

Unzip the attached "page_element_list.zip" on your local comp, open the "page_elements_list.snippet.php" file and see the usage instructions at the top.

Feedback welcomed and hope it comes in handy


Addition: element_list module

element_list compiles lists of
(1) a condensed unique list of all elements
(2) snippets, chunks, placeholders, settings, and tvs and provides a link to the found element.
Unzip the attached "elements_list_0.0.1.zip" and see the install.txt. [ed. note: breezer last edited this post 14 years, 8 months ago.]

Thanks Breezer.
Will give it a try tomorrow

It works great!
Could you provide a recursive version, which iterates over all pages of the site?

At least I would like to know which snippets are used/not used at the whole site.

I have been working on a module for the manager which shows a condensed list of elements and also specific lists of snippets,placeholders, chunks, and site settings. Its looking pretty good and I should have a releasable version by tomorrow, I'll attach it to the first post here.

I added the element_list module to the first post for anyone interested

Wohu - better late than never a response from me!


THANKS - this is exaclty what I was looking for and works perfect!

Sadly I havent received a notification of your new posts - thus I discovered element_list luckyly right now :-/

Does this also detect snippets, plugins or @EVAL TVs that have runSnippet() or getChunk() etc in their code?
