assigned dynamic attributes with postgres import

[richie.kavanagh]

Hi all,
I'm working with importing a graph from a postgres database. The example edge property I'm testing looks as follows in the data laboratory
<[2011-10-07T00:00:00.000, 2011-10-07T00:00:00.000, 1111111.0]; [2011-10-14T00:00:00.000, 2011-10-14T00:00:00.000, 2222222.0]>

When I create this value in a gexf file, it opens and behave correctly.
When I create this string in the 'amount' column of my postgres database, the following happens:
- the value seems to be assigned correctly (i.e. the string in the edge attribute is identical to the string created with the gexf import)
- gephi does not treat the attribute as dynamic. If I display the edge attribute and move through the time slider I see a constant edge attribute value of the dynamic string i.e. <[2011-10-07T00:00:00.000, 2011-10-07T00:00:00.000, 1111111.0]; [2011-10-14T00:00:00.000, 2011-10-14T00:00:00.000, 2222222.0]>

Is database import of dynamic attributes supported and if so could somebody please advise on what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,
Richie

Dynamic attributes are not supported at this point in the database importer. Please open an issue on GitHub.

Thanks mbastian.
Is the following the best currently available way to import a dynamic graph?
Generate static graphs at each time slice required
Import using the dynamic importer?

Thanks R

The best way is probably using a GEXF file, as it has dynamic support built-in.
