controlErrorLog

This Extra adds new features

• an ability to control the error log and view it in a popup window in the backend.
• email notification about changes in the error log. Every time when user loads a page controlErrorLog checks the error log for changes. If they have been the email notification will be sent to the specified email.

Advice. Use cron job instead of the online notification.

Now you will not miss any errors.

If the log is too large you can see only the specified number of the last lines (by default 15).

You can specify any number of lines in the system settings.
