[How to] Log into a file instead of the Error Log

Thanks Ludo, this is very appreciated.

The issue of advanced logging came up a few times at Splash EMEA, it's a common issue for complex applications. Your solution is cool but makes some debatable choices (logs in a public folder, no protection against mistakenly keeping it on in Production, no on-off debug switch...); my feeling is that this sort of thing should be baked into the product, with better defaults that we have now. At the moment, every developer has to reinvent the wheel, with various degrees of success.

If you feel like, you could post a request on IdeaStream for more fine-grained logging, I'm sure it would gain support. You could also consider publishing this on OpenPlace.
