I am really excited about this extension! I downloaded it as soon as I found it! I just have a question an issue I'm having...

When I go to a site like Drupal.org the extension seems to be working fine, but for some reason the extension doesn't "see" my own site. I get a messaging in the extension's window saying:

No Drupal for Firebug data was found. Either this site is not running Drupal or the Drupal for Firebug module has not been installed/enabled.

Which doesn't make a lot of sense to me seeing how it does work on Drupal.org.

I'm wondering if my password-protected text site is somehow keeping the Firebug extension from working... could this be happening? Or do I need to have add some code to my custom-theme (or module – and yes, I have Devel installed) for it work?

Thanks for your thoughts! I look forward to using this extension while finishing the build of my current site!

There are a couple potential issues at play here.

First, if you have a custom theme you need to make sure you are outputting the $closure value. Drupal for Firebug works by throwing the debugging data at the end of the page and if your theme doesnt have $closure no dice.

Second, you need to install + enable the module on your system (as well as the firefox extension) on your system and you need to give user access permission to users to see the debugging information. UID 1 gets this by default, but other users need permission.

The module wont work on the drupal.org website (since it doesnt have the module installed).

Awesome! Thanks for the help. Yes, I had the Firefox extension installed but not the Drupal module. So once I got that installed, every worked great. Ah yes, now I have a wealth of info about my site at my finger tips! No more having to throw in a "print_r" to figure out what's going on.... sweet!

The only thing is that it really adds to the loading time of my site... but that might be because of all the scripts I've got going on that I need to get under control.

Great module/extension! Thanks for making it!

Thank you for the explanation with the $closure - I'd recomment to put this informaiton into the README.txt distributed with the module. This is an important information for bewbies in theming like me :)

Thanks for the help :)
