Do Phylopic images get updated? #116

Open mclapham opened 6 years ago

mclapham commented 6 years ago

This perhaps isn't a Navigator issue at all, but I got tired of the terrible blobs that appear for most brachiopod orders so I created some new images for Productida, Spiriferida, Rhynchonellida, etc. at Phylopic. This was a week or two ago, but Navigator still shows the same blobs for prevalent taxa (e.g., https://paleobiodb.org/navigator/#/29b270e2). I don't know if the images are dynamically retrieved from Phylopic's API, in which case the problem might be on their end, or if there's a library of images in PBDB that gets updated occasionally.

There is much more to this issue. I just noticed that Navigator is NOT displaying the right Phylopics. Try Sirenia. It displays the image for Macroscelidea. Not sure what is up here, but we need to check on this.

markuhen commented 6 years ago

Just to be clear, not ALL Phylopics are wrong. Just some of them.

Might this be the same disambiguation issue for Navigator issue #108 where some crinoids in "Articulata" were getting articulated brachiopod images, too. Check Syverson's response on May 15 for possible causes.

Yeah, pretty sure this is #108 again. The table that needs updating/correcting is in the data service, not Navigator.
