More robust template path hints (block name, block parents

Feature request from erikhansen, posted on GitHub May 16, 2014

Currently, the "template path hint" feature displays the template name and block class name.

Fabrizio Branca's Aoe_TemplateHints module extends the native Magento 1.x template path hint functionality to add much more information to the hints including:

  • Block name (very useful)
  • Parent block names
  • Module
  • Caching status

Here is a screenshot from his blog post, visualizing what this could look like: jpeg

I propose that this functionality be built into Magento 2. If Magento accepts this proposal, I may be willing to build this functionality and then issue a pull request to have it incorporated into Magento 2.
