What does "Administration Development tools" exactly do ?
I didn't see any change on the site or any information in the documentation about functionalities added by this module...
Thanks

I'm searching for the same thing. I've used the help & advanced help and nothing yet...

Seems like basic documentation is missing.

Documentation for the Administration Menu module could also include something like this...:

Supporting Module: Administration Development Tools

The Administration Development Tools adds two specific features to assist developers in extending the Administration Menu module, including:

  1. Menu Rebuild. Adds a button allowing developer to delete all auto-generated menu links derived from menu router items and rebuild them.
  2. jQuery Debugger. Allows developer to debug and inspect arbitrary data/variables in Firebug's console, but also to access them again in the global window object (optionally using a named identifier, e.g. window.debug.myValue). Chainable via jQuery. Especially useful for re-accessing and debugging selected data via Firebug's console.

The module does not add a Menu Rebuild button. There is code in the module for this button, but has '#access' => FALSE, and therefore the button is not available to anyone. Suggesting that a button will appear but it in fact does not appear is confusing.

Should we change the README to reflect the code? Or fix the code so that the Menu Rebuild feature becomes accessible?

I have no idea, but this seems worrying:
// @todo Not necessarily ready for mass-consumption yet.

To me, that sounds like it's code that belongs in a dev branch or sandbox module.

Good catch @mstrelan. The menu rebuild button should be tackled as a separate issue, let's add this piece of documentation in, we can add to it later, when that part gets properly implemented.

Here is an updated patch documenting just the jQuery Debugger.

I am sorry for no reply until now.

There are many issues regarding this module admin_menu which is a bit difficult for us to follow up since some of the issues might be already outdated, or is already fixed by the module or any other modules or itself core which means that the problem might no longer need to be fixed.

We can see that the issue has been created for a few years ago, I hope it is okay for you that I am postponing the issue, and give you around two weeks. If you still face the problem, could you tell us the step by step when until you get the error message or what is frustrated you, and a list of modules you are using related to admin_menu and a screenshot that might help us? So it makes us easier to reproduce your issue.

However, after two weeks with no feedback - we will close this issue. So in case, you noticed it after the issue is closed, do not hesitate to reopen it like and fill information which is mentioned above.

So before giving us a feedback, do you mind to test it again with our latest 7.x-3.x-dev?

Thank you for understanding! :)
