Bug in plan handling

How long a string are you handling for alias names? I suspect, for some reason, it's shorter than 23.

I have two plans with quite long names, 23 chars or longer, identical except for the 23rd character. I let the alias autogenerate

Whilst they both display correctly on the front end, trying to select one of them results in an error, OSM_INVALID_SUBSCRIPTION_PLAN to be exact (not got a string, it would seem).

When I make the first couple of characters of the alias unique, they work correctly. Strange, eh?

The alias is actually set to 255, so I don't know why it is set to 23 chars. The alias is generated by Joomla core library, maybe Joomla has that limit applied somewhere, I don't really know

For now, please make sure each plan has it's unique alias to have the system works well. I will check it later

Thanks Tuan, I thought you'd be using core functions.

It's not that the alias is limited to 23 characters, the alias length is fine.

What's happening, I'm certain, is that it's only checking the first 22 characters, otherwise why would it not find the second plan whose alias is the same as the first one up to the 23rd character?

Hello Mark

To be honest, I don't know. There are no places in my code to only check 22 characters, so I don't really have any clues why it happens

Tuan

Following on from this, it appears there is no checking to prevent identical aliases?

And having two aliases the same breaks the extension, as before.
Except, it seems to work on my local setup. The only relevant difference I can find is that my local setup doesn't use URL rewriting...

Pretty major fault, imnvho

I will have to check it. There is code to check duplicate alias, maybe there is bug . If the bug is valid, I am going to fix it in the next release

Thanks for reporting

Tuan
