Awesome tutorial. I tried sbds with mysql before and found an issue with the fields being truncated because of the size of the data. Did you got problems with this? I forked the sbds repo in order to replace the normal text fields with long texts. Look at my changes:
https://github.com/Guitlle/sbds/commit/d30c7d67205a34f7df6318b078950a192dcf8396
Can you check if you are getting truncation warnings in the logs?
I had this exact same problem, but then I found this pull request that changes the fields to
MEDIUMTEXT
and resolves everything.In my script I use that pull request instead of the
master
branch.
