[SOLVED] Debug a module in my shop

[Rodrigo Chantes P]

I need to debug a module in my checkout page, i can't use xdebug in my server, because i don't have the authorization to do so, and i really want to know what part of my code is slowing my module, so i can determine if i can optimize it or not

I have done this in a server that I had no access but ftp and BO using prestashop logger. When it comes to time measurement you need to capture timestamp of just right now and store it in a variable. Then after some pieces of code you need to capture another timestamp and calculate the duration easily.

For instance:

// just before an specific part of code
$startTime = time();

// any process that you need to measure
// myProcess();

// after that process is finished
$totalTime = time() - $startTime;

PrestashopLogger::addLog("MyLogFlag --- total time was {$totalTime} second(s)");

Another thing is you can use this PrestashopLogger::addLog($message) any where you want and then check the logs in BO
