Ray's trouble getting OpenSeadragon to show on Paged content (google grouup link). Was caused by a mismatch between the URL in the OpenSeadragon block (configured in Contexts), and the IIIF Manifest view's path. When we made those match, the Openseadragon viewer appeared.
Flor tried to ingest multiple types of content into a Paged Content object using Workbench. However, it didn't work. There may be a bug in Workbench. Also, this use case is sometimes called "Compound" or "Complex" object. It has been implemented by other institutions and Seth showed an example. It requires a view (he used flexslider to make a scrollable slideshow) that shows the children of this object and (crucially) includes a "relationship" (found third column in the View interface) to each child's media in order for the view to display the files on the media of the children.
Google Scholar Tags: This has already been done by several groups and perhaps the IRIG can pull together enough people to sprint and make this happen out of the box!
Attempted a demo of the in-browser Visual Studio-based code editor, but DockerHub was down.
