Question

I have a Django web site running a mini CMS we\'ve built internally years ago, it\'s using postgresql. When saving a simple title and a paragraph of text I get the following err

Answer 1

I had a similar problem with django-autoslugfield I was using a similar package and then switched over to django-autoslugfield

I was getting this error: value too long for type character varying(50)

despite the fact that my models.py had:

slug = AutoSlugField(max_length=255, populate_from='name', unique=True)

and in my db the it the type was character varying 255

once i remove max_length=255 from the field i.e.

slug = AutoSlugField(populate_from='name', unique=True)

then it worked fine
