Debugging templates

been meaning to get around to making a list of the templates and exactly which bit of the page they're all for.. but never seem to get around to it, so here's a quick and dirty alternative:

1) make a backup copy of bb_functions.php and put it somewhere safe (so you can put it back when you're done playing with the templates).

2) open up bb_functions.php and replace:

$tpl = fread ($fd, filesize ('./templates/'.$name.'.'.$ext));

with:


#--
# $tpl = fread ($fd, filesize ('./templates/'.$name.'.'.$ext));
$tpl = '<!-- BEGIN '.$name.'.'.$ext.' -->'.fread ($fd, filesize ('./templates/'.$name.'.'.$ext)).'<!-- END '.$name.'.'.$ext.' -->';
#--


3 ) upload it to your server, visit your forum and take a look at the page source. each time a template is parsed, the beginning and end will appear commented in the html, e.g:

<!-- BEGIN user_logged_in.html --><table class=tbTransparent>
<tr>
<td class=tbTransparent><span class=txtSm>Logged as: <b>4days</b> » <a href="index.php?mode=logout">Logout</a></span></td>
</tr>
</table><!-- END user_logged_in.html -->

Is there a way to make this work in v2.0 ?
It seems the code has changed and I don't see how to use this.

The idea for 2.0 is the same - instead of

return $tpl;

you need to paste

return '<!--BEGIN '.$name.'-->'.$tpl.'<!--END '.$name.'-->';
