I currently have a app that manages projects. The user sees a list of projects and can select one. They can should (it would be nice) be able to click a run button and have another app open. The parameters stored in the project they selected are populated into the second application. The issue I am having is firing the second application. runApp generates the following.
ui code line:
actionButton("RunProj", "Run"),
Warning in run(timeoutMs) :
Unhandled error in observer: Key / already in use
observeEvent(input$RunProj)
I would like to trigger the second app and pass in the location of the project directory I have looked at parseQueryString and still trying to figure out a way to include that. Maybe via a redirect?
Any suggests would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Rich
I'm not 100% sure if I understand your intention correctly but here is a few things I think you may want to think about.
In one project, if you want to run a few kinds of analyses, you may want to try navbarPage
If there are many different types of analyses, you may want to try shinydashboard
If you know the link to each app and you really want to add those "run" buttons, you can add a button manually in ui.R. I think you can write some codes in server.r to generate the link based on your database.
tags$a(href="the link to your apps", class= "btn btn-default", "Run App")

How to check if a UiInstance is already running? I need to know so that I know whether to use UiApp.getActiveApplication() or UiApp.createApplication(); The issue is that the functions may not be called in a particular order.
No offense but this question doesn't make a lot of sense to me... There can be only one UiApp instance and in a standalone app it must start with a doGet() so I wonder how you could start an app without starting by the app creation ?
Once you have created this instance it lives as long as you close your browser window of you hide all the possible source of user actions (for example hiding all the widgets or disabling all the buttons) and everything that happens in between is either the result of a handler call or a direct function call in the script, all of which are necessarily subsequent and therefor using getActiveApplication().
If I missed something (which is entirely possible of course) please explain.
Edit : following your comment :
In case you use UiApp embedded in a document the situation is a bit different but not so much :
2 different cases :
Dialogs :each time you create a new one it will appear "over" the existing one but won't be "aware" of it, i.e none of the first UI values will be available to the next one. So it's a better idea to close each one before creating a new one (app.close();return app;) otherwise you'll have to manually close each "layer" successively since I guess it wouldn't be a good idea to keep the dialog on the screen all along :-)
Data passing from one instance to the other must be handled using some kind of storage.
Sidebar : what I'd suggest is to create a starting UI in the sidebar that creates the Ui (showing a welcome message or a menu for example) and let all the other function get this Ui Instance using getActiveApplication() , that will avoid the UI "flashing" while it's been redrawn and allow you to play with all the values all along.
In both case the choice is really yours but the practice I suggest works better and gives you full control on what happens.
Okay, so I can successfully link a UILabel in the Interface Builder to whats written in my code by dragging the blue reference line to "File's Owner" and selecting the label I referenced in my code only when using a View Based Application.
However, using the exact same code and the exact same process in a Tab Based Application (hence dragging the blue line in the interface builder to "File's Owner" in FirstView.xib) the only option that show up when connecting the UILabel to "File's Owner" is "View" rather than the other options, such as "titleLabel or albumLabel", that I wrote in my code.
Please tell me is there something I am doing wrong?
Thanks
Try control-dragging (dragging while holding ctrl key) to the actual variable definition in FirstView.h (or equivalent file).
My experience is migrating to Xcode 4 and storyboards is a much cleaner solution. Connecting outlets/view transitioning is much cleaner in storyboards instead of old interface builders.
I was wondering if there was any way of changing the background in access. The standard grey is ok but I would like to change it to an image that shows instructions or what was updated last. Also, if I can allow a user to change the background to an image of their choice that would be cool as well.
Can this be done
To be honest, I'm not sure if this is possible or not, but if it is, I'd advise you not to do it. Why?
Users will expect instructions under a help menu or on an intro
splash form
They will expect info. like what was updated last to appear in more
conventional places like the status bar
Allowing users to personalise your application with their photos can
make your application look pretty bad and increase load times.
Only advice though - good luck with it!
I have been able to allow users to change the background of the database. It works great and it works no matter what computer they log onto the database from. I did have a problem with remote users so I added a macro that allows them to disable the functionality. It works great. It was a little complicated to se up initially. Some of the modules below may have more stuff contained in them then what is needed for the purpose of this question. But here is what I did to make it work:
Add the Following modules to your database: modChangeMDI, SetBackgroundImage, and clsCommonDialog
Link to a zip file containing the code for the above modules: http://www.filedropper.com/changebackgroundimage
You can set the default location that a users sees when the search for file dialog pops up. This is located in the ThisFileToOpen function of the SetBackgroundImage module.
clsCommonDialog <-- Used to open the find file dialog box
modChangeMDI <--Used to change the background image
Create a table called $BackgroundLocation with the following fields. On my database this is contained in the backend database.
ID (AutoNumber, Primary Key)
UserID (Text, Required, 250 in length, don't allow zero lengths)
BackgroundLocation (Text, 255 in length, not required)
DisableBackground (boolean)
Create an AutoExec macro and add an action that runs the code SetTheBackgroundPictureOnStartup (1)
Create a BackgroundDisableEnable macro and add an action that runs the code DisableEnableBackground()
Create a BackgroundSet macro and add an action that runs the code SetTheBackgroundPictureOnStartup(2)
Then assign the BackgroundDisableEnable and the BackgroundSet macro to their own menu item.
When the database opens it will run the AutoExec by default.
You can use a start-up form as I suggested above. You can even base the start-up form on a comments table that can be edited by the users and will display the most recent and / or relevant information. The form can be displayed at start-up and then referred to at any time by the users.
In the past, I have included a ? button on forms that open such a form at the relevant page.
I have Mysql and Zope talking to each other nicely.
I can insert values in, and even view one record from the databse and have it show up in the form fields(not that cool really).
I have just been following tutorials, but now I need to search the Database and display the results.
I have been fiddling with this for a while but I haven't gotten far.
I know that using a Zope Page template we can call the Zsql method and show the results with TAL, but I need to some how using a script and a redirect form the search form pass the search data.
Can anyone help we get started?
Can anyone show me a way to do it with formgen and a custom script adapter?
Go into your ZMI, and add a "Z Search Interface" object in the same folder as your ZSQL method. Your ZSQL methods should show as "searchable objects". Select the ZSQL method you want, fill in the rest of the fields, and it will generate form and display page templates. Then modify the templates to taste.
I am trying to use the ASP.NET Dynamic Data Filtering project, but I'm running into a problem during the configuration.
I'm following the instructions on the author's blog, and everything works like described. Then it tells me to change the datasource using the designer view. I am told to select the "GridDataSource" in the "Configure data source" wizard. This option is not there though.
I get all of the classes in my project, including the DataContext that was generated by Linq. When I choose "Show only DataContext objects", the dropdown ("Choose your context object:") is completely empty.
When I turn of the checkbox and choose my DataContext class, I get asked which table I want and all that. But, as the whole purpose of a Dynamic Data site is NOT to use one single table, that's not much help.
So I've looked at the instructions again and copied the resulting datasource from the example:
<asp:DynamicLinqDataSource ID="GridDataSource" runat="server"
EnableDelete="True" EnableUpdate="True"></asp:DynamicLinqDataSource>
Which is exactly what I had, without the "WhereParameters" nodes in there.
Now, when I run the list page however, I get an exception about a missing datasource from the filtering component. Of course when I remove the DynamicFilterRepeater, it works again.
This is the meat of the exception:
[InvalidOperationException: Missing DataSource]
Catalyst.Web.DynamicData.DynamicFilterRepeater.GetTable() in D:\Catalyst\Projects\DynamicData\Project\Trunk\DynamicData\DynamicData\DynamicFilterRepeater.cs:74
Catalyst.Web.DynamicData.DynamicFilterRepeater.GetFilters() in D:\Catalyst\Projects\DynamicData\Project\Trunk\DynamicData\DynamicData\DynamicFilterRepeater.cs:81
Catalyst.Web.DynamicData.DynamicFilterRepeater.OnInit(EventArgs e) in D:\Catalyst\Projects\DynamicData\Project\Trunk\DynamicData\DynamicData\DynamicFilterRepeater.cs:106
How do I make the DynamicFilterRepeater recognize my datasource?
I'm using VS2010 Pro, on a Win7 machine.
have you looked at the sample project you get when you download the source code.
