Sorry to ask this but I'm trying to get the Dataverse-Data-Explorer added. I am not sure how to find my Dataverse database ID - for the {fileid} parameter.

Also, does that refer to the database for the entire dataverse am I adding this individually for each file?

Thank you,

Hi =)

If you're looking at the JSON to enable the Data Explorer as a tool, the only parameter you'll need to modify is toolUrl (to point Dataverse at your Data Explorer instance).

I hope this helps,

For toolUrl I tried "https://test.dataverse.ucla.edu/Dataverse-Data-Explorer/" I get a host error. If I leave toolUrl at scholarsportal it runs find but then I get an error for fileID.

I've been reading through the External tool section of dataverse documentation and I'm confused about the perameters - expecially {fileId}

It looks like https://test.dataverse.ucla.edu/Dataverse-Data-Explorer/ is being passed to Glassfish.

You'll want to add a line like:

ProxyPassMatch ^/Dataverse-Data-Explorer !

to Apache's SSL configuration to allow it to serve the Data Explorer files directly.

Jamie,

The parameters like fileId are just telling Dataverse what to put on the URL when sending things to the tool. They are case sensitive.

"fileId": "{fileId}" means Dataverse should send the value for the fileId of the current file as, for example ?fileId=2222 for file 2222 on the URL.

If I replaced that with

"myFileId": "{fileId}" Dataverse would send ?myFileId=2222 on the URL (which would confuse a tool looking for ?fileId=2222), whereas

"fileId": "{someFileId}" would fail since Dataverse doesn’t know how to send ‘someFileId’.

Thank you for the explanation! This is my first try at adding an external tool so I'm figuring out as I go along. Every step seems to be proceeded with frantic googling.

I added the proxypassmatch line and I do have the button but no interface or charts. I will do some more reading and see if I can find out what I'm doing incorrectly.
