#11579: Increase length of email field to accomodate Facebook proxied addresses ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: graham_king | Owner: nobody Status: new | Milestone: Component: Authentication | Version: 1.0 Keywords: | Stage: Unreviewed Has_patch: 0 | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- The proxied email addresses Facebook provides via it's API look something like this: apps+107627842277.100000147873279.3fbf72360a409641ecb9202d8ac5a...@proxymail.facebook.com
That's 89 characters long, so it doesn't fit into the 75 characters in django.contrib.auth.models.User.email. I'd like to suggest increasing that field's max_length to 200. The only potential downside is that certain databases (Oracle) limit the total potential size of a row. That would only matter if someone heavily extended the auth_user table, which is rare. Usually the profile feature is used. Can anyone see this causing a problem? -- Ticket URL: <http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/11579> Django <http://code.djangoproject.com/> The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django updates" group.
