Description Dirk Wiesenthal

2015-06-30 13:36:48 CEST

There is a limit for characters to be used in the ini file. For "Description", this shall prevent a broken layout in the UMC overview (installed apps are rendered as modules). For "LongDescription" there is currently no technical limit (the box just grows).

We should increase the number to
Description: 60 -> 90
LongDescription: 1000 -> 1400

This helps ISVs to describe their app.

Assignee: Fix the documentation and the ini check test.

QA: Please check whether 90 characters still work in UMC. Also check the App Catalogue.

If the number of character exceeds a certain limit (60 < x < 90), the description in the UMC is not fully readable. But the text is "cut". Is this okay?

90 seems a bit too much for the UMC. We should not allow a limit that breaks the UMC appcenter overview page.

Left it with 90 chars for Description. The UMC modules now adjust to the actual description length (more precisely: to the drawn height).

Removed the LongDescription restriction. I found one with > 2000 chars and it looked good. No need to not release the App.

Feel free to reopen.
