Pre-Upgrade bugs (before 01 feb 2007)

  1. RS 18:31, 13 March 2006 (EST): In part BBa_I51000, the full scar does not appear between BBa_B0045 and BBa_B0046. Two bases at the end of the scar are deleted (AG). I think that there might be a software error because BBa_B0046 begins with an ATG though it is not a coding sequence so the AG should not be deleted.
  2. RS 17:20, 14 March 2006 (EST): I want to rename a part from pSB5AC4 to pSB5AC5. When I enter in the new part name, it doesn't save it.
  3. WingZero 20:14, 11 June 2006 (EDT): Projects page only contains the text "There are no" in bold. Probably should finish that sentence.
    • This hides a larger bug. We have changed the way we select parts from student projects. - Randy
  4. Smelissali 14:53, 18 June 2006 (EDT): When I try to edit parts in the "Reporter" parts tables, I get an article page that says "There are no". I am also unable to edit--Smelissali 12:51, 1 August 2006 (EDT) the table information for primer parts. Also, if would be nice if under the "parts: hard information" pages, we could have a link that takes the user back to the appropriate parts table for editing.
  5. Randy 20:07, 18 June 2006 (EDT): The search functions do not work well. Mediawiki searches don't find all entries, Google finds the entire history, and 3 part searches only searches the old text fields in the database.
  6. Smelissali 17:19, 24 June 2006 (EDT): When I click on the "Systems" part types (both Measurement and Projects) on the Part Types page, I get either nothing or it takes me to the help page.
    • WingZero 15:11, 25 June 2006 (EDT): Same as what I said in #4, but despite the reply, it doesn't seem to be fixed.
    • Randy Measurement Systems goes to a page with a more elaborate description of measurement parts. This will happen to more part types as the summer goes along. I moved the table links to the top of the page so they are easy to find. The PoPS and RiPS section of the page probably belongs on a Measurement Philosophy page. The answer to #4 above is correct and the bug is not fixed.
  7. Jonas 09:17, 13 July 2006 (EDT): there is a confusing template in the "Experience" section of a part. I described the problem in more detail on confusing template bug.
  8. Pfking 11:14, 25 July 2006 (EDT): There seems to be a problem with the registry database after the last update. Whenever I try to edit a part, or create a new part, I get an internal server error page. I can still modify the sequences and features part of the database, as well as the access control, but not the main database info!
  9. Smelissali 14:41, 25 July 2006 (EDT): Thanks for the report! We've taken care of the database and checking out the source of the problem
  10. Pfking 15:50, 25 July 2006 (EDT): Alright, part creation works again! But, whether editing or creating parts, I'm not able to choose composite or intermediate types, it always reverts back to basic part. (Edit: Wups, as it turns out, the reason I was getting an error was that one of the basic parts I was trying to put into a composite had an empty sequence. Take note, you need to put in some bases in test parts for them to work properly! Pfking 17:21, 9 August 2006 (EDT))
  11. Smelissali 12:51, 1 August 2006 (EDT): We're currently experiencing complications with our server. We're working on solving this problem right now...apologies for the down time
  12. RS 11:02, 2 August 2006 (EDT): The "Get selected sequence" wasn't working on any page but the "Hard information" page when I was giving a presentation today. I am not sure if it was because of the lower resolution of the projector or what.
  13. RS 12:00, 2 November 2006 (EST): This is not really a bug. But I personally find the user review tables quite confusing. I would suggest templating this form.

Post-Upgrade (after 01 Feb 2007) bugs

  1. Kahaynes 13:57, 3 February 2007 (EST): When I try to add a new composite part or construction intermediate, the site takes me back to the login page, even after I've logged in
  2. Macowell 14:26, 15 February 2007 (EST): The Projects category on the Part Types page seems to be broken. It just displays: "There are no" and most of the usual mediawiki tabs like "edit" seem to be missing from the top of the page. NOTE: a similar error was reported earlier; see pre-upgrade entries 4. & 6.
  3. Scmohr 16:01, 15 February 2007 (EST): The "Sequence and Features" boxes all have the sequence ruler (and the displayed sequences) running out of the box on the right-hand side. This is very distracting and should be fixed.
  4. Scmohr 16:11, 15 February 2007 (EST): Also in the "Sequence and Features" boxes, the heading "Get selected sequence" is misplaced. It should be moved to one line above its present position.
  5. RS 17:17, 26 February 2007 (EST): When including a primer part inside a larger composite part and choosing the option to assemble without BioBrick scars, there seems to be some extra sequence included flanking the primer part. I am not sure where it is coming from.
  6. RS 17:27, 26 February 2007 (EST): pSB4C5 is being generated as a composite part with scars even though it has a note saying that it is a composite part without scars. I think this is because I temporarily converted it to a basic part. (The issue is that this part was constructed via a combination of direct synthesis and BioBricks assembly so it is a huge pain to enter it into the Registry. This shouldn't be this hard.
  7. RS 18:12, 26 February 2007 (EST): Why don't the long descriptions show up anymore when constructing a new part?
