Data too long for column
I’m getting the following error when I try to install rss_thumbpop . I’ve installed it in the past on the same server in another instance of textpattern. I’ve tried re-downloading the code a few times with the same problem – I just can’t see what I’m doing wrong and as always I’ve got someone overusing the phase “non-negotiable deadlines” at me again!
The error I get is:
Warning: Data too long for column ‘help’ at row 1 insert into txp_plugin set name = ‘rss_thumbpop’, status = 0, type = 0, author = ‘Rob Sable’, author_uri = ‘http://www.wilshireone.com/’, version = ‘0.7’, description = ‘Flexible thumbnail image gallery in table or float format.’, help = ‘\n
insert desperate plea for help!

Re: Data too long for column
Can you check which type the ‘help’ column in the ‘txp_plugin’ table has. It should be ‘text’, just like for the ‘code’ column.
Which version of TXP do you have installed?

Re: Data too long for column
Yes, I checked that. the HELP column is set to “text”. In another thread Mary seemed to suggest “faulty encoding”…

Re: Data too long for column
I downloaded and installed that rss_thumbpop plugin from wilshireone.com and installed it on my own TXP website (4.0.5). No problem.
- Which TXP version do you use?
- Is that the complete error message you posted or just a part of it (if so, can you post if completely, even if it’s very long)?
- In what step of the plugin installation do you get this problem… does the preview of plugin code + help work correctly?

Re: Data too long for column
I’ve just tried it again – both with 4.0.4 and 4.0.5, using a fresh download from wilshireone.com. I’m running MySQL 5.0.27 on this box. Other plugins are installing fine.
This is the entire error:
Warning: Data too long for column ‘help’ at row 1 insert into txp_plugin set name = ‘rss_thumbpop’, status = 0, type = 0, author = ‘Rob Sable’, author_uri = ‘http://www.wilshireone.com/’, version = ‘0.7’, description = ‘Flexible thumbnail image gallery in table or float format.’, help = ‘\n\n
