Description Nico Gulden

2016-03-29 10:28:12 CEST

The developer reference should be updated accordingly. The limit description should be only listed in the example .ini file. There should be an explicit section that can be referred via URL.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #38798 +++

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.
