Summary | 0003307: Group: Long descriptions are not handled properly | ||||
Description | 1) There's a character limit on group descriptions, but this limit is not revealed to the users. It should be noted somewhere. 2) If you submit a description that is longer than this character limit, rather than the website handling this gracefully, the user only receives the generic DB ERROR error message. A creq is generated (see f.ex. http://anidb.net/c11274695 ) even though the field is not actually updated. 3) I'd like to have the limit raised high enough so that the description in said creq fits in :p | ||||

Hmm, while testing over on devint, I actually managed to get a "descr too long" error with a different text body, so 1) is invalid or at least mostly working. However, something in what I wrote is still triggering the DB error on devint – but submitting only the second part works fine. It feels like it has something to do with the length in any case. |

More testing: Maximum allowed text length without an error: 5,180 UTF-8 bytes / 4,904 Unicode chars (windows line feeds) 5,156 UTF-8 bytes / 4,880 Unicode chars (unix line feeds) Minimum text length that throws "3 - descr is too long!" 5,277 UTF-8 bytes / 5,001 Unicode chars (windows line feeds) 5,252 UTF-8 bytes / 4,976 Unicode chars (unix line feeds) Anything between these seems to produce DB ERROR instead. I guess the text length is checked from the logical character length at least, 5k seems like a likely number for that. |
