How to turn on template path hints in backend

Welcome to our Magento blog!

As you may know, Magento provides template path hints function to help you debug your template. However, this function is only available in front-end. Sometimes, you need to debug the template in back-end. How should you do? I have a tip to enable template path hints in back-end.

In the configuration file (config.xml) of an active module, you can insert the following code:

<config>
...
<default>
<dev>
<debug>
<template_hints>1</template_hints>
<template_hints_blocks>1</template_hints_blocks>
</debug>
</dev>
</default>
</config>

This code will enable template path hints for all pages in your Magento sites (including back-end and front-end). In case you want to enable it in back-end only, you can use the code below:

<config>
...
<websites>
<admin>
<dev>
<debug>
<template_hints>1</template_hints>
<template_hints_blocks>1</template_hints_blocks>
</debug>
</dev>
</admin>
</websites>
</config>

Hope my post helpful for you! If you have any ideas or useful tips for Magento, don’t hesitate to share them with me. I would be very glad. Have a nice day!
