579918 - web ui should recognize non ooid's and provide a helpful error message explaining the incidents have not been submitted

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 563110

(Socorro :: Webapp, task)

Description

[timeless]

bug 578078 has 3 crash reports two are from july 1

According to deinspanjer:
They aren't valid ooids. ooid == "our odd id" it is what is assigned by the collector when a crash report is submitted to us successfully. Those are plain uuids. ooids are odd because the last 6 characters are replaced with the date of the submission.
... The ones in the bug were never submitted.

basically, i need to understand why the user gave me things i can't use, what i need to do to get the user to give me something i can use, what i should change in order to avoid this in the future. and is it possible for the ui to explain to me that they aren't in the right format?

because if you can immediately recognize that they're bad, then it'd be great if the ui could too. especially w/ an explanation :)

If they got those ids from about:crashes, then likely all they need to do is click on the links in about:crashes to submit them.

Please have the UI to tell the user when uuid's are not a valid ooid (and possibly offer steps to understand why and how to correct it)

is this basically a dupe of bug 563110?
