fix (lots of) broken URLs

[teixeirak]

@forestgeoadm , @biancaglez , I've been revamping the organizational structure of this repo, and as a result breaking lots of URLs in the readme files, this file, and scripts. I'm still working on the reorganization, so please hold off on fixing them just yet, but I want you to be aware.

[forestgeoadm]

Sounds good - thanks for letting me know!

[teixeirak]

I think we have final folder names/ organization.

@forestgeoadm , you can go ahead and update URLs throughout.

[biancaglez]

FYI I've fixed links on my end :D

[forestgeoadm]

Thanks for the status updated, @biancaglez. I'm fixing links as I go/ad hoc adding data use/attribution text.

[teixeirak]

There are also lots of broken links in This file.

[forestgeoadm]

Really? I copy-and-pasted a number of URLs from the spreadsheet, but they worked for me.

If you can direct more towards the broken links I'm happy to help update them. I'll need a quick lesson in how to edit a file like that, though, as I've only edited READMEs thus far and the edit tab makes the whole table look like a jumble of columns

[teixeirak]

There are quite a few in the field Data.URL.or.location. If you filter by "github" they'll come up. There are some (PRISM) in a private repo, but the rest are in this repo.

Hi @teixeirak, ah, yes - now I see what you're talking about. I downloaded the file as a CSV. If I make the edits in Excel, can I simply upload the updated version (rather than trying to work with the text file sans columns in the edit view of GitHub)?

[teixeirak]

Yes, you could edit and push via GitHub desktop, or I'm sure there's a way to do a pull request with the single file (although I'm not familiar with that since I always go through desktop). If its complicated, you could always send to me, and I could push.

[forestgeoadm]

Sounds like a plan - thanks for thinking through these possibilities with me.

[forestgeoadm]

Hmmm....I edited URLs to update new GitHub links (I ignored https://github.com/forestgeo/Climate/ and https://github.com/forestgeo/Climate/private, as they were PRSIM links, like you indicated). Then I saved the file as a text file, copy-and-pasted to edit the Directory in GitHub and was met with this screen:

I seem to have made a mistake, though I'm not sure what it is - I'm sorry!

[teixeirak]

Could you please send me the .csv file? I'll load via GitHub Desktop

[forestgeoadm]

Sent!

[teixeirak]

Okay, just pushed it. Thanks!

[teixeirak]

This seems to be resolved.
