visjson support working?

[pramsey]

Try as I might, adding this line to my MD in the sandbox does nothing.

 -vizjson: "https://pramsey.cartodb.com/api/v2/viz/817bab8a-b888-11e4-bb41-0e018d66dc29/viz.json"

(Since the map is of canada, I also do this to a chapter so I can see it)

 - center: [48.9620, -122.7385]
 - zoom: 10

@pramsey did you end up figuring this out? I think I'm seeing something similar - but only with certain viz.json docs, not others.

[pramsey]

Aha. No, I never did get any satisfaction on this one.

[agoddard]

@pramsey k, will see what I can find & let you know

[pramsey]

Does this vizjson work for you?

@pramsey negative. One thing I've also noticed is that when vizjson's are updated, the odyssey map doesn't seem to pick up the changes sometimes, for example I have one currently showing two layers, one is "visible": true: and the other is "visible": false, yet the false one is showing and the true one is not. With my current vizjson, I was also able to show a number of linestrings and a separate layer of points, but when I added a SQL query to show only a subset of those points, the points render correctly but the linestrings no longer render.

I'm also having problems using vizjson from Sandbox, commenting out this line does the trick.

In my case, the issue is that layer_name doesn't match the database table name, so an invalid SQL statement is create. I'm guessing the templates would be better off grabbing sql from the layer options?
