This is not a support request...

Post by harmlessgoat22 »

As the title says, this may sound like a support question, but it's not.

What does this mean...
Warning

The DEBUG_EXTRA constant is defined which is only meant for development purposes by the developers.
The board is running additional code to display sql reports, which slows down the board in a significant manner. Additionally sql errors are always displayed with a full backtrace to all users instead of displaying it solely to administrators, which is the default setting.

With this said, please be aware that you are currently running your installation in Debug Mode and should you take this board live, please remove the constant from the config file.



I know its not an error, and I am not looking for help, I just want to find out what this means.

All it means is that additional debugging is enabled, so the board will give you more information about errors.

Oh, so if an error occurs, it will tell me what file to edit instead of saying ERROR, ERROR?

Yeah, but it might also give away potentially harmful information to users. Like, paths, etc, that can be used for "hacking" the site. So debug should, as said in the text, only be enabled on test boards.

How do I turn it off? (I'm not going to, because I want it on so I can help submit errors if there are any, I just want to know how)
