For developers

- Tidied up error code by defining a 'MAX_STACK_TRACE_VALUE_LENGTH' constant
- ocPortal build scripts have been released on the forum (for making quick installers)
- Various patches we want to build into future major ocPortal releases have been posted on forum/CEDI/github (just because we don't like sitting on things)
- Some minor type strictness fixes
- Minor code commenting improvements
Comments
However, I could not find how to enable this new feature while installing/editing the IOTD block. Is there a new comcode value parameter available?
Thanks,
Jean
Thanks for pointing me to the right source Chris!
But, what threw me off in the first place is that the template did not have an additional parameter. After downloading the 7.1.3-7.1.4.tar, I can confirm that the IOTD.tpl is not part of it, but the new main_iotd.php is in the sources–blocks.

Oke update was going smooth, only I see that the point-leader board lose some info and is somehow to width for the panel now. This only happen by upgrade from 7.1.3 to 7.1.4
But I have made two screenshots.
First the upgrade from 7.1.3 tot 7.1.4 This was good working in 7.1.3
Second to a fresh 7.1.4 install.
greets Harry
Thanks ocPortal team.
