Installation

1. Checkout/download files and folders to MODPATH/devtools.
2. Add this entry under Kohana::modules array in your APPPATH/bootstrap.php:

'devtools'     => MODPATH.'devtools',      // Devtools

Conditional Loading

If you don't want to worry about disabling the module for non-DEVELOPMENT environments you can load on condition in your bootstrap.php, .e.g:

/**
 * Enable modules. Modules are referenced by a relative or absolute path.
 */
$modules = array(
    // 'auth'       => MODPATH.'auth',       // Basic authentication
    // 'cache'      => MODPATH.'cache',      // Caching with multiple backends
    // 'codebench'  => MODPATH.'codebench',  // Benchmarking tool
    // 'database'   => MODPATH.'database',   // Database access
    // 'image'      => MODPATH.'image',      // Image manipulation
    // 'minion'     => MODPATH.'minion',     // CLI Tasks
    // 'orm'        => MODPATH.'orm',        // Object Relationship Mapping
    // 'unittest'   => MODPATH.'unittest',   // Unit testing
    // 'userguide'  => MODPATH.'userguide',  // User guide and API documentation
);

// Load Devtools module only if in DEVELOPMENT environment
if (Kohana::$environment === Kohana::DEVELOPMENT)
{
    $modules['devtools'] = MODPATH.'devtools';
}

Kohana::modules($modules);

Notes

Acknowledgements

This module was originally created by Michael Peters aka bluehawk. I merely provided few tweaks and updates to make it work with latest Kohana versions.
