Dev Menu

When developing skins, enabling the little Dev menu can be very useful.

How to enable the Dev menu

In the _advanced.php, change the following lines:

/**
 * Do you want to display the "Dev" menu in the evobar?
 * This allows to display the dev menu without necessarily enabling debugging.
 * This is useful for skin development on local machines.
 *
 * @var boolean - set to 1 to display the dev menu in the evobar.
 */
$dev_menu = 0;

to

$dev_menu = 1;

Tip: If you don’t want to do this over and over again after each upgrade, add $dev_menu = 1; to _local.php instead.

Note: The Dev menu will be automatically enabled whenever you Turn On Debugging.
