dataset attributes in static website mode

zhangguy opened this issue · 1 comments

Hi,

If we put multiple datasets into datasets.json and serve the files in static website mode, there will be a pop out window in cirrocumulus to list all datasets. I really like this feature. There are also two additional columns in the pop out list- "Species" and "Title". These two columns are very useful, but they are all empty. Is there a way to fill in the two blank columns? I try to add keys and values to datasets.json but it doesn't pick up the contents.

Thanks!

sorry the content will be picked up if species and title are entered in datasets.json.
It didn't work previously because I was modifying the wrong copy of datasets.json. I was serving the static files using nginx and the js seems to always look for datasets.json in the server root directory. This could be fixed, see #70 (comment)
