Adding charts to overview from plugin

Software Plugins
1

I am creating a plugin and it has 2 charts that i would like to be shown on the Overview page. So i followed this guide: Adding charts to the Overview page | Pioreactor Docs
and added this to additional_config.ini:

[ui.overview.charts]
laerke_eu_pressure_readings=1
laerke_eu_pressure_deltas=1

but the lines are only added to the unit config as are the other line in my additional_config.ini so the charts do not show up on the overview page.

Is there anything i can change to make them show up automatically on the overview page after plugin installation?

I am on the latest version of the pioreactor software.
the plugin is here: laerke-eu-pressure-reading-plugin · PyPI

Hi @larswp, thanks for bringing this up. I think this is a platform level bug, and I’ll need to think about it. For now, if you provide instructions to move the

[ui.overview.charts]
laerke_eu_pressure_readings=1
laerke_eu_pressure_deltas=1

to the shared config.ini, all is well.

Generally, there’s isn’t a programatic solution. (BTW, this use to work as intended, but I changed the logic in 26.4.0 to target unit_config.inis, without dealing with this specific issue)
