I know how to do it via system->configuration->Developer and on other sites people have mentioned doing it by setting template_path_hints to 1 in the config files.

I would have tried to copy the method used in the admin section but this wasn't so easy to follow.

Most developers I know are using a module for enhanced template hints:

AOE Template Hints

It allows you turn turn on template hints by adding "?ath=1" to the URL and will give much more detailed info than the standard version.

If you want to implement it yourself you could look at how this module does it:

https://github.com/AOEpeople/Aoe_TemplateHints/blob/master/app/code/community/Aoe/TemplateHints/Model/Observer.php#L37-L47

This method is called in an observer listening for the core_block_abstract_to_html_after event.
