If you run TYPO3 4.1 or more, just download the extension from the TER, install it and get rolling.
If you run TYPO3 4.0 or less, you will need to place the Prototype library yourself somewhere on the server and configure the path to it in the extension's configuration. You have to give the full path starting from your site root. Note that this is necessary only if you want to use the feature for viewing the extra data (see User Manual below), but it's a useful one...
Read the paragraph below if you are already using cc_devlog.
If you are already using cc_devlog and want to switch to devlog without losing your existing logs, you can simply go to your favorite database administration tool and manually rename table tx_ccdevlog to tx_devlog BEFORE installing devlog. Obviously you should then remove cc_devlog.
A number of parameters can be configured for this extension in the Extension Manager. They are described below:
Maximum number of log runs: the backend module always displays a list of log runs to select from. As this can get quite long over time, this parameter makes it possible to cap the number of log runs displayed. If set to 0, all log runs are displayed.
Number of entries per page: when viewing all log entries, a pagination system is activated to avoid displaying all entries on a single screen. This parameter defines the number of log entries to display per page.
Automatic clean up: if this is activated, the backend module will automatically delete any log entries that are in excess of the maximum number of log runs defined above. This is convenient to make sure that your log table does not get out of hand. No clean up takes place if the maximum number of log runs is 0.
Path to Prototype: for TYPO3 4.0 or less, the path to the Prototype script, as described above.
