Template Hints for the Magento Admin

Simply paste the following into

app/code/core/Mage/Adminhtml/Block/Template.php

public function fetchView($fileName)

{

Varien_Profiler::start($fileName);

extract ($this->_viewVars);

$do = $this->getDirectOutput();

if (!$do) {

ob_start();

}

echo '<div style="position:relative;

border:1px dotted red; margin:6px 2px; 




padding:18px 2px 2px 2px; zoom:1;">




<div style="position:absolute; left:0; top:0; padding:2px 5px; 

background:red; color:white; font:normal 11px Arial; text-align:left !important; 

z-index:998;" onmouseover="this.style.zIndex=\'999\'" onmouseout="this.style.zIndex=\'998\'"

title="'.$fileName.'">'.$fileName.'</div>';

$thisClass = get_class($this);

echo '<div style="position:absolute; 

right:0; top:0; padding:2px 5px; background:red; color:blue; font:normal 11px Arial; 

text-align:left !important; z-index:998;" onmouseover="this.style.zIndex=\'999\'"

onmouseout="this.style.zIndex=\'998\'" title="'.$thisClass.'">'.$thisClass.'</div>';

try {

include $this->_viewDir . DS . $fileName;

} catch (Exception $e) {

ob_get_clean();

throw $e;

}

echo '</div>';

if (!$do) {

$html = ob_get_clean();

} else {

$html = '';

}

Varien_Profiler::stop($fileName);

return $html;

}

before the last closing brace }.

Just be sure to remove the code again then you are finished. If there is enough demand for it I might package the change up into a new MageBase extension.
