Friends
Sorry for a general question, but I'm lost in the various discussion threads and was hoping for a pointer to the appropriate documentation:
I have a php/webinterface to a database created with rackforms and MySQL. I've successfully embedded r-analytics in this site and can generate tables and graphs but am having trouble displaying the tables and graphs in the web interface. I found shiny/knitr and figured out how to generate a nice summary page using shiny/knitr/rmarkdown and get the html output. But I can't find any instructions on how to call and display this from the data website I created! I'd like to call an r-script that runs a .Rmd script (or similar) and then display the generated tables and plots on the interface. Alternatively, I could link to a page in .html, but the display needs to run the analysis each time its called since the data is live.
I'm sure there must be some description on how to do this somewhere, but I can't find anything that quite gets you all the way. Any pointers out there? I'd appreciate it.
Cheers
Jon

I'm trying to add a Gantt-Chart (Oracle JET) with hierarchical data to my Oracle Apex (19.1) Application just like the example in the Cookbook (Hierarchical Tasks) by using the built-in implementation in Apex.
In this example, a JSON-file containing the tasks, which can have children-elements called subTasks gets parsed and rendered. However, I'm getting my data from a local database.
Is this feature possible in the Apex-version of oracleJET? Or do I have to implement the Gantt-chart from OracleJET as if it was a 3rd-party-solution?
Because I am able to create a normal Gantt-chart without a hierarchy, however, I haven't quite figured out, how to implement one with a hierarchy.
According to the documentation of ArrayTreeDataProvider, the default-keyword for child-elements to be located in is 'children'. But it doesn't matter how I format my data (selecting it from the database with json_object() and json_arrayagg() ), it only renders the 'parent' elements.
Does anyone have already implemented this/a similar functionality into an Apex Application and can help me out?
Thanks a lot in advance!
When I have had trouble defining a JET chart within APEX, I have always found it helpful to install the Sample Charts app from the App Gallery. Oracle does provide some sample Gantt charts with and without a hierarchy on Page 3 (in my instance of APEX 19.2) of the sample application.
Without knowing how your data is structured, we cannot provide an exact solution to your issue, but if you review the setups in the sample application, it should help you out.
This is an open source contributor project for Wikidata's Chronic Pain project.
I would like to create a webpage that :
Have inputboxes where the user select several wikipedia page titles (with suggestions)
Can also take these parameters via the URL
Get items metadata from Wikidata.
Makes a SPARQL request to gather scholarly articles.
Render data from Wikidata and Wikipedia, linking to various wiki pages.
The webpage will be hosted on Wikimedia fundation server. I have access to a linux container as well as a Jupyter Notebook (not sure this one is suitable for this project). It has to be coded in Python 3 since I will use Pywikibot framework to interact with Wikidata.
I'm new to programming so that I don't really know what is the best approach. I heard that it was difficult to code webpages in Python without using a framework like Django. However this page is very simple so that it may not be the most efficient to deploy Django for this ?
NB : your question is bordering on "primarily opinion based" (which doesn't mean it's a bad question by itself but that answers might be more, well, opinions than hard facts).
This being said, "a single interactive page" doesn't mean the server code behind is just loading a static html file and sending it to the client. For example, the main UI part of our product is, technically speaking, "a single interactive page", but this "single" page is full react app and is backed by a dedicated API with a dozen entry points, which the dispatch to a whole load of backend code including database access, celery tasks etc. It would of course be technically possible to code all this with only pure wsgi or even plain old cgi code, but well, it could also be possible to write it directly in C or even assembly and no one would ever consider this a viable solution.
To make a long story short: do not even waste your time trying to code this project with plain wsgi (and let's not talk cgi), you will end up reinventing the squared wheel and everyone will hate you for this (stakeholders because you'll never deliver a robust, working product in due time and budget, and other devs because they'll now have to port the whole darn thing to a stable, mature and maintained framework). Now if Django appears to be overkill for this project there are much lighter frameworks like flask. Actually both are the "industry standard" and safe choices.
I have this website that I'm editing for a friend and they want to get rid of this message at the checkout screen but their boss doesnt know who implemented it. Its an error message at the top in read that says "If you are having trouble checking out, please contact us at sales#cbobaby.com" and is in the check out page. This is an open cart website and I only work with wordpress sites so I'm having trouble figuring out where the source of the message is coming from. I've dug through some of the template files in the theme and I can't seem to find or delete anything that gets rid of it. My question is if there is anything in Chrome dev tools that would help me identify the source or template it lives in? I only use dev tools for adjusting css but I know there's so much more you can do it with. Thanks.
No, DevTools can't relate your front-end code to what generates it for the DOM. For the exact same reason we are unable to persist edits in the DOM to your source.
You need to use grep, or some code editor with "find all" functionality and look for some part of the string. If that fails, search your database and see if it is coming out of there. You can then either edit the database and hope nothing breaks, or try to back-track through the application logic to find where is calling that part of the DB. It should give you some ground as to where to look.
In the Sources tab, you can see the resources, that are loaded when you are on a particular page. You can also use the Inspect tool in the Elements tab to find the element that hosts that bit of text to narrow things down in your search.
To add to this, if content is generated on the server side, the resources you see will likely be a merge from multiple generated sources, e.g. with templates in your case. You can search your solution for aspects of the DOM elements you see in Chrome Developer Tools, but look for the static parts instead of the dynamic parts. For example, the text itself won't be part of the template file, a placeholder will exist - a CSS class could be useful.
I have a request to return a list of the most popular search terms used when searching a Sitecore site.
I have no idea how to implement this sort of function using Sitecore or whether Sitecore has this kind of functionality all ready. I can't find any documentation detailing this.
I am currently using search based of the LuceneSearch module (http://trac.sitecore.net/LuceneSearch) but altered to bind to a ListView for easy pagination.
At the moment I am probably just going to build a standalone function/class to update an XML file or something unless someone is able to point me in the correct direction...?
I would frankly use OMS for that - this is what it is designed to do. No need of separate database. Just register the search events via API with OMS. There is an out of the box Search report. May require some tweaking, but this seems to be the most out of the box solution.
Take a look here for more details.
I don't know of any standard functionality in Sitecore that would help you achieve this, so you will probably have to approach this from ground up - unless someone else in here is able to point to a package deal somewhere :-)
Solving this, really breaks down into two tasks
1) Collecting search term information. Whenever a user enters a search term in the searchbox that I assume you have; normalise it and store it in a SQL table (essentially a [term] [count] type table. Update the counter on terms you already store.
By normalising, I mean lowercasing it and so on - possibly breaking each search term (word) down and storing them one for one if that is what your solution calls for (probably not the route I would go)
2) Realtime retreiving information from the table, based on what the user is typing in the searchbox. Assuming you want some sort of "amazon-like" - also found on almost all major search engines nowadays - autocompletion. I normally implement these in a web service that then gets called by Ajax, JQuery or whatever rich client implementation you prefer.
As for updating an XML file, I think locking issues and performance would kill that solution; though it could perhaps be made to work on a very small scale.
Sorry that I can't be more specific in my response, but your question is very open-ended.
Very interesting question. One thing you could do it have another database to store these search queries. An insert into this DB would not be very difficult and would get around the issue of locking on a XML file. Maybe insert the search query into a DB table then to get the top results just pull the top x rows ordered by that query field. As Mark Cassidy said before, maybe normalize the data before inserting it.
You could isolate this work on your search layout (or sublayout) so it runs on a specific part of the site, not on every page.
Sitecore has an out of the box "site search" report in the executive insight dashboard, this will give you an indication of what search terms are driving the most visits and of course engagement value.
You just need to configure it by registering a page event on the search page and passing the query otherwise sitecore wouldnt know what form field constitutes a search. See this post it explains it in more detail. For more information you can download the analytics configuration reference document from sdn.http://sdn.sitecore.net/upload/sitecore6/65/engagement_analytics_configuration_reference_sc65-usletter.pdf
And dont forget for performance sitecore caches the reports at various levels so during development it may be handy to know how to force a cache update, I talk about this in the following blog post:

This is my first substantial MFC application.
My out-of-the-wizard MFC app wants to open a blank, new file of the type I specified for my app, when it starts, but that's not meaningful for my application. I want my app to open some connections to some remote sites and get data from them.
Where should I consider interrupting or overriding MFC's default behavior? I could subclass CWinApp::ProcessShellCommand(). I could modify the CCommandLineInfo object it works on. I could excise the whole command line processing and just call my go-get-the-data functions. I probably should just altogether excise the whole document-as-a-file related processing. I'm not opening or saving any files, except debug files or logs that are outside of the UI's concern. The only saving or collecting of local information is via a database, to which and from which I handle the serialization myself, so no CArchive, either.
I've got all this code but it's hanging in front of me disjointed and disintegrated. I'm too new to this and there's too many alternatives. Some simple guidance for a simple beginner is what I'm asking for.
So, if you'll say, sure, lop off the document-as-file handling, tell me, please, where I need to go to do that bit of surgery, I can see it's not just one object that'd be affected. And so forth. Thanks.
You might consider generating a new application, but when you do, tell it that you want a database application without file handling. Even if you don't use its database capability, it'll produce an application whose basic layout is set up roughly for what you're trying to do, so you'll basically just substitute your database interface for what it provides, but won't get involved with trying to rip out file handling and such that's apparently irrelevant for your program.
I found an answer with respect to modifying default file opening. While I made the database app Coffin suggested, I saw the phrase "storing database objects in views" and I rather aimlessly searched MSDN with that. If I was going to try the database app approach and do my own serialization, I had to learn about this.
I thus found an MSDN page concerning handling the file menu in database apps, which discusses how to alter and even disable the OnFileOpen command. It's applicable to OnFile New and it is the approach I was hoping for.
