#113 Database down error when entering wrong edition information

Hi,

I have just entered my first book, and as I did not
know what to write in the Edition field, I entered
"2nd" instead of just "2". This did not result in a
validation error, but resulted in a "database currently
down, please return later" error when I tried to do the
final submission.

I have luckily found a way to cheat the tool in this
situations so I did not loose my work. :-)

    I can, I just did twice in different entries.

    I did as follows:
    New reference
    Type: Book
    Author(s): Primary, A.B. and Secondary, C. D.
    Title: This is a title
    Pub. name: Enzymes
    Volume: 34
    Year: 2004
    First page: 42
    Last page: 5323
    Edition: 2nd
    Editor: Me, K.B.
    Publisher: IntEnz
    Pub. place: Hinxton
    View: NC-IUBMB & IntEnz

    Status: Suggested

    Preview Entry and then Submit

    Result: Error
    It was not possible to retrieve any information from the
    database. Presumably the database server is either too busy
    or down at the moment Sorry for any inconvenience this error
    might have caused. Please try again later.

    Try this and I assure you that you can reproduce the error.

    Hi,

    Did you ever manage to reproduce this error?

    Kristian,

    I really try, using exactly the fields you used, but when I
    press "Preview" it goes back to the edit mode with an error
    message: "The given edition is not an integer."
    I'm trying in the test curator tool, but there should be no
    difference (they are exactly the same version).

    Cheers,

    Rafael

    Hi,

    Well, then it has to wait until we meet again (outside ebi ;-).

    Now you can enter '2nd' if you wish. I could not reproduce the database down error message, though.

    Fixed in intenz-curator-4.2.14.
