Smf2.1: Should make the backtrace information more obvious in the error log

Created on 26 Apr 2019  路  12Comments  路  Source: SimpleMachines/SMF2.1

It is so helpful for support purposes to have the backtrace information from an error, but right now it can be difficult for users to discover how to get it. Instead of an icon, we should move the link to the backtrace information to its own line in the error report and give it a label like "More information..." or something of that sort.

Static text with a url keep me not liking it.

There isn't much to not like though, and it's especially helpful for the Support Team

For this exists wiki or "how to post error" topic,
this is not part of the ui topic of smf error log.

You expect people to find a wiki topic when they can't find the right icon ? :P

I expect that sm.org provide a form where the important question placed holded and
ref to source how to get this information.
Ypou can place a big bling text and people will it not finde.

Exactly. I'm not even on the support team, and even I have already had to explain how to get the backtrace information more times than I would like.

@SychO9 This looks neat. Perhaps might want to make a PR?

I will soon enough

Since I see many times backtrack in sm.org I still see no need.

I respect your thoughts albertlast but let's make it easier for end users.
