[mapguide-users] Debugging tools

If you open the \WebServerExtensions\www\viewerfiles\framesettasbar.templ
file in an editor, you can then change the height of the scriptFrame from 0
to, say, 100.  If something that is executing there has problems, at least
you could see any thrown errors.  I'm not sure if this will help in this
specific case, however.

Are there any debugging tools for MapGuide OS? When I add an enhancement to
an existing sample, the enhancement does not appear but there is no
indication from the application where the problem lies.

For example, recently I set out to add point redlining to the line redlining
sample, draw_line.php, modifying the code from
create_new_point_layer_definition.php and adding it to draw_line.php.
However, the map continued to redline the lines, but not the points, with no
debug messages.

I got deep into the code and realized I had to add a PointTypeStyle section
to the layerDefinition. I could find nothing in the documentation or in the
output of the program to indicate that this was the problem. It took me
several hours to do this.

I think that developers who want to use the MapGuide APIs should not have to
get into the code at the level of a core developer in order to use it. I
suspect that many would not have the time to do that. A debugging tool would
be most helpful.
