Cards in embedded dashboard

Get Help
1

Hi, I'm getting an error for all the cards in my newly created embed dashboard. In the metabase admin browser, all the cards load ok in the dashboard. When I embed the dashboard, the dashboard will load in my web page but all the individual cards show following message - “There was a problem displaying this chart.”.
If I embed one of my existing dashboards, the cards display ok. I make a duplicate of this existing dashboard, but when I embed the duplicate, I get the errors in all the cards.
Under Admin/Troubleshooting/Logs, the errors for all the cards are similar - something like this:

[22fc96e8-0a44-44b7-a833-3bd14ff239ee] 2021-05-10T15:47:17-07:00 DEBUG metabase.middleware.log GET /api/embed/dashboard/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJleHAiOjE2MjA2OTE4MzYsImlhdCI6MTYyMDY4NjgzNiwicGFyYW1zIjp7Im9yZ19pZCI6IjFkNDM3ZDgxLTdlOTQtNDY4ZS05ZTViLTk5YzgzNThmNGFlOSJ9LCJyZXNvdXJjZSI6eyJkYXNoYm9hcmQiOjEzfX0.ZvWtFxgsncfSgNuiTewSHRykkxNVbUXp70cyX0LB3hQ/dashcard/97/card/34 400 3.4 ms (2 DB calls)

They all have the "Unknown parameter :org_id." message.

Here is a successful API call with a different token:

/api/embed/dashboard/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJleHAiOjE2MjA3MTg5MDIsImlhdCI6MTYyMDcxMzkwMiwicGFyYW1zIjp7Im9yZ19pZCI6IjFkNDM3ZDgxLTdlOTQtNDY4ZS05ZTViLTk5YzgzNThmNGFlOSJ9LCJyZXNvdXJjZSI6eyJkYXNoYm9hcmQiOjJ9fQ.jrXdwlhz7AUOHWlGKO2GMFYr4xnY4rkKXjoJ95HHhTg/dashcard/60/card/34

When I plug the tokens for the existing dashboard and the duplicate dashboard, into jwt.io, I get a similar payload data with the org_id param. I'm running metabase 0.33.3.
I've done a search and a couple of other people had a similar problem but no solutions. Please advise. Thanks.

Hi @lrmpham
Does dashboard 13 have a locked filter called org_id? Duplicating dashboards will not automatically enable sharing - that has to be done manually.
A lot has changed since 0.33.3, so perhaps try upgrading - remember to backup first.

Dashboard 2 & 13 do not have any locked filters. So it's odd that org_id is a parameter in the token.
How do I share a dashboard ? The public sharing option under admin is disabled, but dashboard 2 is working ok.
I'll backup the data and upgrade. Thanks.

@lrmpham You're seeing this issue, which was fixed in 0.33.4:
https://github.com/metabase/metabase/issues/4779

There's two - very different ways to share dashboards/questions:
https://www.metabase.com/docs/latest/administration-guide/12-public-links.html
https://www.metabase.com/docs/latest/administration-guide/13-embedding.html
And then there's FullApp embedding, which is available in Enterprise Edition:

Regarding the backup, I see my production database for my app in the list of databases in metabase. But I don't see the metabase database. Are the metabase tables added to my production database or is it in a separate DB ? If separate, what is the name of that DB ? Thanks.

@lrmpham It depends on how you've setup Metabase. Check Admin > Troubleshooting > Diagnostic Info, which will tell you which application database type you're using.
