Alright, we cut them off at 80 chars now.

I would guess single digits.

I'm a bit hesitating to hardcode the limit inside the SQL code. It would of course be possible to cut off the categories at 80 chars. OTOH, how many people really do change the default SQL scheme that we provide with Kronolith?

PostGreSQL Which database do you use? MySQL seems to truncate the category automatically.

Hello In the kronolith_events table, the field event_category is defined as VARCHAR(80). But in kronolith/lib/Driver.php, the setCategory() function doesn't check the size of $category. So importing or synchronizing events having a category name greater than 80 char fails (DB Error: unknown error). A workaround is to reduce the $category to 80 char. Regards Patrick
