Sharing the data catalog #3221

Open zdefne-usgs opened 5 years ago

zdefne-usgs commented 5 years ago

When A shares the map with B, B sees a correct display of the layers, but not the data catalog. However, if B adds new data to the catalog, in addition to the new data layer the data catalog is now populated with the catalog items from A. This seems buggy. The discussion in #2758 seems related, but it also says it is difficult to implement. Would it make it easier implement if sharing was split into two options? 1) Share the map view -Existing function, but only the enabled layers shared and loaded, no data catalog is shared 2) Share the catalog (maybe with a separate button in the catalog instead of the map view) -The entire data catalog is shared

Or would it be just doubling the efforts?

@philipgrimmett This could be worth thinking about with the other proposed changes here https://github.com/TerriaJS/terriajs/issues/3208
