value too long for type character varying(N)

Question

My model has a SlugField. When I try to save an instance of this model with the slug field set to a string which is longer than the field\'s max_length paramete

Answer 1

You can just add something in your view that tests to see if the slug will be >50 characters, and if so truncates it.

if len(content) >50:
    content = content[:50]
else:
    pass
slug = content
