First of all, I don't have a reproducible example as I am still thinking about the structure of my future dashboard. Here are the requirements:
using a menu on the left (currently thinking about dashboardSidebar() from shinydashboard) with 4 different items: filters, comparison, prediction, and data. Each item has subitems that applies to the current dataset (set of filters, chosen comparison variables)
tabs for each product category (e.g. one tab for fruits, another for veggies, another for meat, etc...). I've read that it is not recommended to use tabset() from shiny with shinydashboard components.
The idea is that the components on the left menu apply to the current tab, but the menu is the same across all tabs.
Here is a visual example of what is expected:
ideal dashboard structure
I am new to Shiny and would highly appreciate the hints from the experts out there. Thanks!

I'm trying to change context menu items using VBA, similar to this Microsoft's docs for my application yet, that one!
The end user will be attending to a line of customers and adding products to their, let's say, virtual "shopping cart".
This "shop" has very limited items on sale and they would fit easily on the context menu and by clicking on then the user would add each item in a very 'well behaved' manner. Yet, I'm trying to make things a little faster, editing not only the main context menu (as explained on posted MS docs), but editing the upper as well.
It's a little improvement on the user side, as items will be closer to the cursor.
So, this question refers to "how-to", but any help, even the name of this menu, would be appreciated.
It's easier to find documentation when you know the names of stuff.
I have got a population of agents named as customers and a number of variables, parameters, and statecharts are defined for them. Then I created a second population of agents. They should include everything that I defined for customers and a few more. I tried copying everything in the customer graphical view page and pasting them into the new agents' page, but it does not work. How can I do that?
Thank you
I assume you want to actually copy your agent-type, add some more variables... and create a population off that new type, correct?
In that case, you need to copy the actual agent-type in the "Projects" window. Right-click the customers agent-type, then "copy.
Now, right-click on the top-level model-object (named like your model) and right-click it. It will allow you to "paste" now. You will have an agent-type "customers" and "customers1" now.
PS: if you have similar agent types that share properties, you should actually use "inheritance" (a Java core functionality that can be used powerfully in AnyLogic).
I set up the following Content Definition in an Orchard 1.9.1 site:
Manufacturer
- Logo (Media Library Picker Field)
- Container (single supported type - Product)
Product
- Containable
- [Generic Fields]
I added a few sample Product items to the site, and as part of that it had me select the Member Of option, which was a list of Manufacturer items I had already added.
The issue I have is, when I try to build a query to use with a projection widget, I can't seem to find a way to get either a Manufacturer's children, or a Product's parent container since I need to display all content on a single view. There are only going to be ~20 line items here, so performance is a non-issue. If I do multiple queries (one for each type), everything shows up individually but the Shape Tracing tool, when showing me the various Model items on the view, can't seem to show me either of these options.
My end goal is building a custom view to display this information, but I can't figure out how to traverse either up the Product to what its' parent container is, or traverse down from a Manufacturer to the child Product items below it.
How do I build a query that lets me see all of this so I can build a projection widget off of that?
Edit
I played with this some more and came across the ability to take a query and attach a layout to it. That is definitely getting me closer, however the grouping option says No properties are currently available in order to group this view, however I would think being part of a container/containable would define grouping automatically. As it stands, this lets me show everything, but unfortunately the parent/child show, and then the children repeat again, independent of the parent. It's so close, but I can't quite get it right.
Lets say for example, I have a list of products that each have it's own page... in what way can I create a single page that will list each product as it's contents as a list (with hyperlinks)? Not really sure how to do this directly in Orchard - or will I need to create a custom page / widget? Thanks for any help... new to Orchard and not sure how to tackle this.
You have a couple options. I believe the Orchard gallery at orchardproject.net has a module called Simple Commerce that may solve your problem. (it's simple so it might not)
(In the following section, I've tried to boldface the terminology words that are 1) are crucial to understanding how to use Orchard and 2) helpful in finding your way around the dashboard)
Another option may be first creating a Content Type--probably one named Product with some Fields describing an individual product. Price, SKU and description come to mind, but you'll be better able to describe your own products. Each Content Type in Orchard can be associated with any combination of Parts. You may have to research which ones you actually want for an individual product, but I'd recommend:
Body (this could replace the Description I suggested above) You could include any amount of HTML/script in this section to make your individual product pages look fancy!
Common (this has to be added when Containable is used)
Containable (this will allow the items to be listed)
Route (so you can link to a specific product)
This gives each product its own slug (URL)
Tags (to allow products to be categorized)
Now, you need to create a new List from the dashboard so you can display the products together (and inherit other features like pagination, etc). Be sure to select the Product Content Type in the Contains drop down list.
Then, you can start creating your Content (your Products) one by one. In the dashboard, click the new Product item and describe each new piece of Content.
Finally, you can link directly to this new List using the Products List's *slug*. You could (and might want to) add the Products List to your main navigation menu. Clicking the Products List and checking the "Show on main menu" box will automagically add a navigation button directly to this page. You could, of course, link to this List from anywhere using the slug (also found on the list's edit page)
This page, from the Orchard documentation pages describes more things you can do with a list of content like modifying the layout of the list, placing content fields in different places and even converting your products to widgets which you could use to display some promotional product offering in a special spot on your site.
I highly recommend reading through at least the documentation provided on the Orchard site to get a good grasp of what this CMS can do out of the box and what you would need to write custom code to accomplish (which you could do in this case, but Orchard can handle it out of the box)
Hope this helps!
Two ways to do this:
http://orchardproject.net/docs/Creating-lists.ashx and http://orchardproject.net/gallery/List/Modules/Orchard.Module.Contrib.Taxonomies
I want to show the documents in my document library grouped by category. The category is a lookup column that I added that allows for multiple values. Unfortunately this breaks the "group by"-functionality completely. Is there a programmatic solution to this problem?
There is one way... It's complex and ugly - but it should work :)
It is possible for you to write you own view for at list (HTML, JavaScript and all). The VWSTYLES.xml file in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\TEMPLATE\GLOBAL\XML folder, contains the HTML and JavaScript for the default SharePoint view styles - getting your inspiration from this, you can create your own view style, where you can do anything you want!
The problem is, that SharePoint don't have any way to deploy your custom view style - this is where the ugly part comes in - you have two options for deploying your view style.
Add you code directly to the VWSTYLE.xml/Edit a copy of it and override it with a feature
Pros:
You will still be able to edit the
view from the SharePoint interface
Cons:
You override a default SharePoint
file - your work can be overridden by
a SharePoint update.
Your view style will be available on every list in SharePoint.
Create your view programmatically on the list
Pros:
You don't override any default
SharePoint files.
You can control which list uses your
view
Cons:
You wont be able to edit the view thru the SharePoint interface
I've used method 2 a couple of times myself - and it works... but it's not pretty! :)
I don't think what you are trying to do is possible. When grouping items/documents, you display them in different groups based on a grouping value. I don't think SharePoint has support for adding a single item to multiple groups. With multiple values in the grouping field its' impossible to know which group to add the item/document to. I am not sure if this is an error or if it's by design.
Thomas is correct, this is by design as the item would have to appear multiple times in different groups. It is worth noting that this is possible via the web services, however.
See why I was getting duplicate rows from the sharepoint lists web service
And no, I've no idea why the lists webservice will do it, but the API won't.
Check out this link as well. Access supports this functionality without having to do much ugly code. http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/access/HA012337221033.aspx
So here is a sort of hack that has worked for me, no guarantees though. While your column (Office in my case) has allow multiple values enabled, fill in all of your data as needed. Once done, go to List Settings, click the Column "Office", and turn off allow multiple values. SharePoint will pop up a warning about how this data may be lost (never happened to me). Hit okay, then modify the view you want grouped, "Office" should now show up on the drop down of columns to group by. Finished result will result in your groups (and or sub groups) showing up just fine.
The only qualm I have is that instead of having an item show up in both Group A B because it had both field A and field B checked in Column X, it just creates a new group, Column X: A; B. So in my case, I have staff in both Beaufort and Orangeburg Offices, instead of having those staff in both groups (preferable) it creates a new group as below:
