<p>Awesome. </p>

<p>I was thinking of installing the Scienta toolbar for ZF in the coming week or so. Now I am happy to wait till Zend_Toolbar is released. <ac:emoticon ac:name="smile" /></p>

<p>Great stuff! Can you add some instructions how to install the toolbar? </p>

<p>Great! very interesting.</p>

<p>For the ouput, this will be cool to be able to add Filter (with Zend_Filter). to filter password or any other content with security risk. Scienta ZFDebug when it throw an exception it put in clear all database password/username in the configuration. its not very good.</p>

<p>Zend_Debug_Toolbar. <ac:emoticon ac:name="smile" /></p>

<p>I think something useful that this could implement would be a custom error handler to display warnings, and other errors. I really like the plugin idea, and look forward to writing my own :></p>

<p>You should check the Nette_Debug class ( <a class="external-link" href="http://translate.google.com/translate?prev=hp&hl=cs&js=n&u=http%3A%2F%2Flatrine.dgx.cz%2Fladenka-jak-se-vam-libi&sl=cs&tl=en&history_state0=">http://translate.google.com/translate?prev=hp&amp;hl=cs&amp;js=n&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Flatrine.dgx.cz%2Fladenka-jak-se-vam-libi&amp;sl=cs&amp;tl=en&amp;history_state0=</a> machine translated) It has some really useful features like:</p>
<ul>
<li>expading parts of code (context) for each stack trace entry</li>
<li>displaying parameters from function calls</li>
<li>enviroment info (included files and defined constants)</li>
<li>it's under free licence</li>
</ul>

<p>It can handle both exceptions (<a class="external-link" href="http://examples.nettephp.com/ndebug/exception.html">http://examples.nettephp.com/ndebug/exception.html</a>) and errors (<a class="external-link" href="http://examples.nettephp.com/ndebug/user-error.html">http://examples.nettephp.com/ndebug/user-error.html</a>). It would be useful to have such features in an extension, rather than need to output them to the browser (useful for debug, but useless when solving live-runtime exceptions when using Error Controller <ac:emoticon ac:name="smile" /> )</p>

<p>Wow! Can't wait to try it! <br />
By the way, Scienta Toolbar is a greatest tool by now for debugging, thx a lot to it's authors.</p>

<p>This component should also allow an "output window" much like is available in many other languages (Think anything in visual studio, Flash), which can be coupled with a Zend_Debug_Toolbar::trace() method.</p>

<p>This would allow a much nicer way to add debug messages, while keeping them private (due to the password protection). And if coupled with Zend_Log, can provide an easy way to swap between output types in production / staging / development.</p>

<p>(yes i'm assuming it will be renamed to Zend_Debug_Toolbar <ac:emoticon ac:name="smile" /> )</p>

<p>I've reviewed the proposal and attempted to try it out, and have several comments.</p>

<p>First off, I attempted to try it out. However, ZendL_Toolbar_Plugin has a dependency on Zend_Wildfire_Plugin_FrameworkToolbar – and could not find it anywhere. While your description tells what to expect, I'm having trouble visualizing it, and this was a show stopper. I'd like to see a working demo so that I can better understand the functionality you propose. In paticular, I'd like to see how one would interact with the toolbar to get information, and what exact information could be exposed.</p>

<p>Second, I'd like to know if it's possible to expose additional information via logging/plugins. Having a log writer that was exposed via the toolbar could be a killer feature, and a plugin interface could make the tool grow with the framework and user needs.</p>

<p>Third, integration with one or more debug protocols could also be useful, but not mandatory for acceptance.</p>

<p>Finally, I think many commments were spot on about the naming: Zend_Debug_Toolbar makes more sense, component-wise.</p>

<p>I'm re-parenting the proposal to "Laboratory"; please re-parent to Ready for Review (by community) once the above items have been answered/addressed, and start the process again.</p>

<p>Looking forward to seeing continued development on this exciting component!</p>

<p>Nobody mentioned ZFDebug Bar? -> <a class="external-link" href="http://code.google.com/p/zfdebug/">http://code.google.com/p/zfdebug/</a><br />
It is the further development of the Scienta Toolbar - much more actual..</p>

<p>I don't like to see Zend_Debug_Toolbar working with/as a firefox extension. I want to use it in ALL browsers...</p>
