Bug Report for the Bug Reports tab

Hi,

for all my projects the bug reports stopped working!

When you click on the bug reports tab it keeps white - no content and no form to fill in a new report.

Feature requests seems working though.

Tested with different Browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Ghostery, Opera) on different plattforms (Phone, Desktop) and followers of my project report the same.

Please help fixing this..

I'm having some problems with DevDB.

I the edit project tab, the editing tools don't render correctly (Too small, overlapping, etc.) and some of the tools don't have options at all, like the coloring tool. You can only chooce the default, black color. Also the polls, they're unchangeable. Say you make a typo and want to fix it, no can do! You simply can't edit it after it's been posted

DevDb Corruption?

First, there needs to be more links to this thread. It is incredibly hard to find. I had to get a moderator to point me here.

I have two issues, may or may not be related.

First, I can't upload even though I'm the creator of the project. After the upload, it says it's creating the checksum and then it pops up an alert saying "Not Authorized". If you need a screenshot, let me know. This is delaying a number of issues.

Here is the project.

http://xdaforums.com/oneplus-one/development/support-primer-jgcaap-s-cm12-1-rom-t3250710

The second issue is that when I attempt to "Edit Project" it reverted the opening post to its original. The changelog shows all my changes, but they are not showing on the post itself. A moderator asked me to 'test' a change, and this resulted in a change from the original, with the change I made plus all the changes to that point being reverted. Now I need to revert to Dec 2 version, but I don't see a button for that.

That last changelog shows the last update to be the day BEFORE the create date, so one part of the system shows all the changes and the other doesn't. So, its not safe to edit the original post, I have an uodate I've been trying to push out all week, and now I may need to provide some other files I can't upload .... this is a mess and I'm drowning!

Did the Filtering Options change?

I thought

Filtering Off allowed all members to post even if they have less than 10 posts

Filtering On Members with less than 10 post automatically, posted in a Q&A thread

Filtering On (Custom) OP can Select an existing Q&A thread, for members with less than 10 posts

Looks like those with less than 10 posts, no longer can post

Hello? Anybody alive?
[About XDA developers] bitpushr:
I tested an upload and it worked fine. The not authorized error could be a number of things. This error happens if the correct hash isn't passed to the upload server. Do you have any browser plugins that could be blocking this? Can you attach the same file by attaching it to a post? I see there are a few files on your project so it seems like it worked at some point, just trying to figure out why it wouldn't work now.

I'm not quite sure what you mean. Whatever you post into the dialog box on the edit post should show up in the first post of the thread. That is a direct translation, I'm not sure how it would revert to an older post.
[About XDA developers] uudruid74:
What is it doing to compute this hash and why would it say "Not Authorized". If I knew more about the error, maybe I could figure something out. Did you test the upload from MY account? I know you guys are authorized! Why aren't I?

And yes, it was working at one point. And then it suddenly stopped (around Dec 2), but I've not made any changes on this end. In fact, I think I tried uploading from both my phone and my desktop. And tried with different files.

I'll try again with some small test files as I don't have the bandwidth to test with 350MB files. I can upload to posts and I can upload to Screenshots, just not Downloads.

Look at the changelog. Up to before the second of Dec, everything looked fine. I then did an Edit Project and added a field ... current Beta or something. After this, the first post had that new information added, but added to the original message, not the latest.

Trying edit that does save what's in the box, but it put the original version of the post in the edit box. Thus, the test change on the 4th loses all the changes in between because it showed and changed the wrong version. I'm pretty sure it had to do with a last change date being before the creation date. Look at the changelog!

So ... I've been dead in the water since the 2nd.
[About XDA developers] uudruid74:
Last upload worked. Since the system keeps a changelog, how can I revert the OP to the last Dec 2 version? Revert it and then see if it shows that version. If it does, then whatever was wrong is fixed. If it still shows the old one, well ... then you'll see what needs fixing!

[MENTION=4036181]Darth[/MENTION] [MENTION=450224]bitpushr[/MENTION]

Here is what is happening as far as the OP. Clicking "Edit Project" to edit the release names (current release, current beta, etc), is pulling up the edit screen for the first post as well. However, it pulls up the ORIGINAL version, not the current version. When you click Save or Apply, it saves the "changes" to the first post, reverting it all back. Its doing this without a Changelog entry. So, how do I revert back to Dec 2? If I can't, then whats the point of storing the changes?

Not sure what the upload deal is/was, but it sounds like something is too fragile. I'm thinking some simplifications are in order, or at least some better error messages?
[About XDA developers] :
One quick resolution is to delete the project and not use DevDB. Just tossing that out there. You'd be up and running with no issues then.

I realize that's not a solution, only an alternative workaround. ;)
[About XDA developers] uudruid74:
I've considered that. If I couldn't get the downloads working this weekend, I was just going to host everything on my own server. That's where the current downloads are hosted anyway.

That's great. The thing is buggy as hell, and instead of people working together to get it fixed, the best advice is to go away and do it myself? That gives me a warm fuzzy feeling ... like moldy bread.

UPDATE: Since its "Edit Project" that is causing the problem, and its pretty obvious no one wants to look into it, I'm simply not going to use that button ever (I'm guessing no one else uses it or they don't edit the first post and thats why the bug has never been reported) and I'll just keep the info in the First Post ... which means I lose the Annoucement feature and all that, but I can just put it in the post. I hope you guys get this stuff fixed for the next guy, but for now, the work-around is not to use "Edit Project".

Have fun ... Peace ... Merry Xmas .. Happy Yule ... and I'm out!

3 years later....is this still a crazy idea? I'm back into flashing ROMs and this would be killllleer.
[About XDA developers] ikjadoon:
XDA would greatly benefit from a wiki. Look at this ROM I'm flashing; 12 comments in 2 days about one problem.

If only there was FAQ where I (or the other 6 diligent users) could've written up the proper response exactly once and just replied, "Check the FAQ." The OP is a full-time student and can't always reply.

Why does this happen? Because vital thread information is scattered in 5-6 pages of overlapping conversations. It's incredibly inefficient right now. Please, XDA DB is our hope. We can save XDA's threads. :crying::crying::crying:

Another pitiful example:

XDA needs a Wiki FAQ. If you're confused how it might look, check out this Slickdeals "Community Wiki"

available on every single thread

.
[About XDA developers] :
Admin will see your suggestions here. :good:

But honestly, members who create the threads are the threads owners. It's up to them to maintain such a thing, or not. It's their choice.

Also, the problem with Wiki, is that it does not control misinformation. Then you have trolls, how much fun could they have editing the FAQ? ;)

Really, its a thread owners choice to update the threads info as they see fit. Having other members hands in the cookie jar will likely lead to many issues.

All my opinion though. And as I said, your suggestion will be seen.

Thanks,

Darth

[About XDA developers] NaturalBornCamper:
Hey guys, don't know if it's a bug, but a project description and main thread's first post seem to be oddly linked;

Let's say you have a description and a first post in the discussion. You can make edits to the thread and change its content without problems, independantly from the project description. But then if you change the project (example, uploading a project logo and you didn't notice that the project description is the initial description you wrote the very first time, when you click "save" to upload your logo, the first post of the discussion will be replaced by the project description that doesn't contain the edits you made in the first post of your main thread, so you lose everything that you wrote to help others. This is very frustrating.. :(

On a side note, where is the project logo actually shown? I tried uploading 2 times thinking it didn't work, but I can't find where it's actually displayed

I wasn't aware of the project-creation webpage (here), and I made a normal thread (here) instead.

Is there a way to convert it to a project page ?

Also, will such a page allow users to follow it, so that each time I want to publish a new version, it will notify them of the new version?

Is there also some RSS or some API, that I can use within the app, so that if a new version is out, the app will notify the user about it, and it will be possible to come here from the app ?
