Hi,

I am following the instructions at: 
https://leanpub.com/D3-Tips-and-Tricks/read#leanpub-auto-crossfilter-dcjs-and-d3js-for-data-discoveryand
 trying to put this into web2py.

I created the database in the db.py, populated it with some data.
I have created a controller which queries the database, and created a JSON 
view (default/dashboard_data.json) pulling this data back.

I have a view (visualisation.html) with the following code:

{{
  response.files.append(URL('static','js/d3.js'))
  response.files.append(URL('static','js/crossfilter.js'))
  response.files.append(URL('static','js/dc.js'))
}}
{{extend 'layout.html'}}

<h1>Open source data dashboard</h1>
<p>Pie chart displaying percentages of each category in the database</p>

<div class='container' style='font: 12px sans-serif;'>
  <div class='row'>
    <div class='span12'>
      <table  id='dc-table-graph'>
        <thead>
          <tr class='header'>
            <th>IncDate</th>
          </tr>
        </thead>
      </table>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

<script>
{{# create dc.js chart object & link to DIV}}
    var dataTable = dc.dataTable("#dc-table-graph");

{{# load data}}
d3.json("{{=URL('default', 'dashboard_data.json')}}", function (data) {
    
    {{# format data}}
      var dtgFormat = d3.time.format("%d/%m/%Y");
    
      data.forEach(function (d) {
          d.incdate = dtgFormat.parse(d.IncorporationDate);
      });

    {{# run data through crossfilter}}
      var facts = crossfilter(data);
      
      {{# Create dataTable dimension}}
      var timeDimension = facts.dimension(function (d) {
        return d.incdate;
      });

 dataTable.width(960).height(800)
    .dimension(timeDimension)
.group(function(d) { return "Table"
 })
.size(10)
    .columns([
      function(d) { return d.incdate; }
    ])
    .sortBy(function(d){ return d.incdate; })
    .order(d3.ascending);

        dc.renderAll ();
       });
        
</script>



I think the problem is with referencing the JSON file in the URL, but I 
don't seem to be able to find the correct method of doing this in the book. 
 If that's not the problem, then I really have no idea where to begin!

If anyone could help at all, I would really appreciate it.

Many thanks
