Username error in Contribution plugin

[nkikuchi]

Hello,

I’m using the Contribution plugin.

I’d like to be able to register materials by anonymous users, but due to my site’s long domain, I get the following error;

Username: The username "anonymous0@XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
" (X is my site domain) must be between 1 and 30 characters.

Omeka_Validate_Exception: Username: The username "anonymous0@XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
" must be between 1 and 30 characters. in /var/www/html/omeka/application/libraries/Omeka/Record/AbstractRecord.php:533

#9 /var/www/html/omeka/index.php(23): Omeka_Application->run()

I think that the database controls the maximum number of characters, but which data field should I fix?

If you know of any of them, please let me know. Thank you.

I just encountered the same problem. Did you find a solution to this. My site’s email is long after the @ and it makes the 30 character limit a real problem if a guest contributor - doesn’t provide a short email or leaves blank - then it gets assigned "anonymous@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.net"

If you found a work around would love to hear

I don’t remember exactly, but I modified the following php file,
/plugins/Contribution/controllers/ConstiributionController.php

And I rewrote the script, “$email = “anonymous” . $anonymousCount . “@” . $domain;”, on line 517 as follows

$email = “noname” . $anonymousCount . “@” . “xxxxx.jp”;

I rewrote the $domain part to a pseudo-mail domain. That’s because the domain name alone was over 30 characters long.

I don’t remember if there were any other rewrites, so you can try and save the data locally.
