Increase field max_length for Notification.notification_class

[jordanmkoncz]

The Notification model has a field notification_class = models.CharField(max_length=80, unique=True). This max_length restriction of 80 characters is causing an issue for me, because I'm trying to create a notification class that happens to be 83 characters long, so I'm getting an error django.db.utils.DataError: (1406, "Data too long for column 'notification_class' at row 1").

The SentNotification model also has a field notification_class, but with a less restrictive max_length of 255 characters.

Is there a reason why the Notification model has an inconsistent and much more restrictive max_length for its notification_class field than that of the SentNotification model? If not, can we increase it to match the SentNotification model, otherwise you have to artificially limit the names of your notification classes in order to fit within this restriction.

Thanks for the report. No, there is no reason why this is so restrictive. This should be changed to match the SentNotification model.

Would you be up to submitting a pull request?
