I just thought you'd all like to know that it would be a good idea to change
the invititations.message database column to TEXT instead of VARCHAR(255).
It's actually pretty easy to write a message that is longer than 255 characters
in length, which will cause an ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid exception (and
thus an Internal Server Error for you app running in production) unless you
change the form w/ some javascript to limit the message to 255 or add some
exception handling. I just changed the db field to text since there isn't
really a good reason for this restriction.
I did the following migration:
class FixInviteTextField < ActiveRecord::Migration
def self.up
change_column :invitations, :message, :text
end
def self.down
change_column :invitations, :message, :string
end
end
