Magento – How to turn on Template Path Hints in Magento2 Through Code edit

magento2templatetemplate-hintstheme

I know that you can turn template path hints on in Magento2 through the Admin Panel at Stores > Configuration > ADVANCED > Developer.

Although in Magento 1 I find it much quicker to temporarily edit a single line of code in app/code/core/Mage/Core/Block/Template.php. At line 200 I simply change:

return self::$_showTemplateHints;

return true;

It saves a lot of time than going through the admin panel. Is there somewhere in Magento 2 where I can similarly turn on Template Path hints by editing a line of code this way?

Magento – Turn template path hints off from command line

You can turn them off by running the following query:

UPDATE core_config_data SET value = '0' WHERE path LIKE '%template_hints%';

After running the query make sure you clean the var/cache directory too when you are in the Magento root. (rm -rf var/cache/*)

Magento – How to enable Template Path and Block Name hints

Magento has a highlight mechanism in System Configuration to find the template path and also show you the block name.

Go down to the bottom of the left hand navigation and look for Developer and look for the Debug windowshade.

Go to the top left and change the scope till you have the options.

System Configuration => Developer => Debug
    Template Path Hints
    Add Block Names to Hints
