Error: "Couldnt create your project" #37

Closed YTCuber closed 7 years ago

YTCuber commented 7 years ago

I tried to create a new project, but the only thing happening was a notification with the text "Couldnt create your project". I am using Firefox 53.0.2 on Ubuntu 17.04.

The text I put in was:

  1. Name: "Rubiks cube timing and progress optimization system"
  2. Repo link: ""
  3. Category: "Other"
  4. Skills: "HTML+CSS, Javascript, PHP"
  5. Details: 
    
My project idea is a system for optimizing your progress in speedsolving Rubik's cubes. Optimizing should include:
- measure your times and get statistics like best single time or global average
- recreate your collection of puzzles virtually and find the cheapest way of upgrading the hardware
- suggest ways of improving based on your average and execution time of your algorithms

For that, a few more things are needed:

You don't need to be able to solve a Rubik's cube or have one to be able to contribute to this project. I chose this topic because it has a lot of possible features and is something some people need. It is possible to learn a lot of things with this project: managing a project, website building and designing, databases, ...

As the whole thing is going to be a Website/Web application, it is helpful to understand at least the basics of HTML, CSS and JavaScript. The server-side part is PHP maybe. Having at least one person knowing databases (SQL?) and how to connect them to PHP is helpful, as I only know about storing data in text files. I already have experience in parts of the idea like the time measurement system, but the whole project is a bit too big for me. If you're interested now, please join!

Thank you for providing your inputs :)

it turns out the problem was the project name was of length > 40 chars. the db currently only allows 40 characters. I've updated the form to state the same.

Please try creating the project with a smaller name and let me know if the issue still persists

Changed the title to a shorter one and it worked.
