XF 2.1 Tracking down the template, debug option?

[Mega-Tech]

The second wall I've run into with XenForo is trying to track down which template controls a certain aspect of the generated page.

In vBulletin it was a matter of turning on a debug option, and the template names would appear as HTML comments in the source allowing one to easily figure out which template you were looking to modify.

I have not been able to find any such options in XenForo. Does one exist?

Thanks!

The main template can be seen using the browser inspector.



Other than that, this guide will help with identifying specific elements: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/how-to.4390/

Thanks you for the reply!

Unfortunately that didn't help in this case because the template was nested.

It turns out what I was looking for was higher up in the hierarchy.

That's pretty slick Kirby! Good job!

I take it that's an add-on for a browser? Which one?

No, it's a XF 2 Add-on that should work in any (non-ancient) browser and there are no plans to release this.

That's unfortunate. It looks useful.
