URL in OMERO.webclient for datasets

[albot]

Hi All,

I see that there is progress related to the landing pages for the webclient.

Could you give any feedback in which version of OMERO you'd expect this feature to be present?

Would there be any other options in the current version 4.4.X to link to datasets?

Thanks.

Best,
Alexander

Hi,

You are right, we have been doing a bit more on linking to objects.

The url won't need a 'path' (project|dataset|image) etc but can be passed a single object to 'show'.

E.g.

Code: Select all

/webclient/?show=dataset-123


This should be out in mid-late September.
However, until then, you can use the 'old' notation: Eg:

Code: Select all

/webclient/?path=project=21537|dataset=57953


and we will continue to support this when the new system is introduced (this will simply 'show' the last item in the path, regardless of which Project it's in). NB: the old style uses '=' (dataset=123) instead of '-'.

A further feature of the new system is that you won't have to know which group & user the data is in (webclient will switch to correct group & user) whereas in the existing 4.4.2 system, you have to be in the correct group & user.

Hope that helps,

Will.
