Question Error setting category icon to long fontawesome names

Error setting category icon to long fontawesome names was created by webenhanced
Kunena version 6.1.3.2
Joomla 4.3.4

When setting the category icon in administration backend, for long fontawesome icon names, the save record fails:

Saving category with id 13 failed : Data too long for column 'icon' at row 1


I see that the icon field in the kunena_categories table is set to varchar(20). Is there a safe way to extend that size that will withstand software updates?

An example name is: "far fa-chalkboard-teacher" = 25 characters.

thanks, Graham

You have a point there, I think it's a bug.
I can't easily find a setting somewhere in kunena configuration
I have compared some here myself
and apparently with a new installation
Code:
icon = varchar(20)
but at site where i upgraded kunena
Code:
icon = varchar(60)
so you can just increase it with phpmyadmin and save
 
With kind regards
Leen

Hello,

Thanks for the report, i will fix it for the next release of Kunena
I don't provide support by PM, because this can be useful for someone else.
