@jrfnl That's...a very interesting problem to figure out how to solve. I imagine the solution is:
|
@chartjes That's along the same lines of what I was thinking. Does that mean you can confirm this is a OpenCfp issue and not an issue with that specific website ? |
I have not confirmed it. A test to verify this behaviour needs to get written — will add it to the list of things to do this upcoming Friday.

@jrfnl I took a look at the User table in the current version of OpenCFP and the 'info' and 'bio' fields are actually TEXT fields with no preset limit. In the code that validates the speaker information I do not see anything that is limiting the size of either one of those fields. Without knowing what version of OpenCFP they are running, I believe they added that extra validation step in. |
@chartjes Thank you for looking into this. As clearly some conferences apparently feel the need to add these kind of character limits (the wrong way), it might be an idea to offer this ability natively (the correct way) ? If it helps, I can probably find out what version of OpenCFP they are running and possibly even get a link to a repo (if it's public). Let me know if you'd like me to chase that up. |
@jrfnl Well, there is no limit at all since the database field is TEXT. Not much I can offer at OpenCFP's end |
Just encountered this on a site using OpenCfp, but I will admit I haven't tested this on the current source.
I did search the repo and couldn't find any related issues/PRs.
