Data too long for column 'panel'

Same happens with layout column and with layout name. I wonder why these columns are limited to such an inadequate length - varchar(32). Why this weird economy?
I'd prefer to use long descriptive names, which of course doesn't eliminate the necessity to check value length before sending to the database.

How have you 'created custom layout'? I can't reproduce what you describing.

simple patch for ctools. (Should go into CTools issues queue actually)

We should go ahead and lengthen that field, 32 characters is needlessly short, I agree. 128 or 255 would be just fine.

Setting field 'panel' to 255 in table 'panels_pane' works for me.

#5, works for me too, does this patch fix the problem 'correctly'?

Not sure why you moved this to CTools, the panels_pane table is definitely in Panels.

That said I committed a patch recently that fixes this already.

My mistake. Moved back (because I'm OCD), closed, etc...

#5 works perfect, thanks!
Changed the field length op field 'panel' in table 'panels_pane' from 32 to 255 with phpmyadmin.
Or:ALTER TABLE `panels_pane` CHANGE `panel` `panel` VARCHAR( 255 );

Thanks for the fix on this. I was running 7.x-3.0-alpha3 and had this issue. I also ran

ALTER TABLE `panels_display` CHANGE `layout` `layout` VARCHAR(255) NULL DEFAULT '';

But then realized I was not using that latest version of Panels which had this patch.

Thanks, helped a lot!

I am getting the same error in the latest build of the 7.x version of the Panels.

What do I do now?

Thanks.

i've faced the same issue. patch does not help.

#5 helps.
thank you @FreeFox !

function MYMODULE_update_7000(&$sandbox) {
  // Increase length for type column in panels_pane
  $new_type_spec = array(
    'type' => 'varchar',
    'length' => '255',
    'default' => '',
  );
  db_change_field('panels_pane', 'type', 'type', $new_type_spec);

  // Increase length for pane column in panels_pane
  $new_panel_spec = array(
    'type' => 'varchar',
    'length' => '255',
    'default' => '',
  );
  db_change_field('panels_pane', 'panel', 'panel', $new_panel_spec);
}

The attached patch fixes this issue,updated the column definition to use 255 as length.
Apply the same edit to "subtye" and "type" columns.

Rerolled patch

tested the update, looks good to me. Fixed.
