Question

I want to turn on the debug mode for particualr controller in cakephp . Now I am doing this in config/core.php ,it working fine . But it is easy to enable /disable in controller ,we can avoid probelms with working in live sites ,otherwise the log will messed up users

Answer 1

its actually security critical to do anything wild like that in the core.php, it has to be and stay always 0 for ALL user frontend sites.

If you want to enable it for some admin backend action, you can do that inside the action at the very beginning with

Configure::write('debug', 2);
