gui construction - Cloud CDF and HTTPRedirect


Cross posted on community.wolfram.com


Question and requirements


Is it possible to HTTPRedirect from a Cloud CDF via e.g. Button action?




  • I need an interactive cloud cdf around it.




  • The action would not only redirect but evaluate arbitrary code prior to that.





  • If it matters the target page does not need to be any page but an arbitrary CloudObject is enough.




  • No, I don't want to hide old stuff and show new to the user, I really need to redirect.




  • No, open in new tab does not count.





So it would work analogously to this form's submit button:


CloudDeploy[
    FormFunction[{"go on and submit"}
      , Module[{link}
          , link = CloudPut[RandomReal[], Permissions -> "Public"]
          ; HTTPRedirect[link]
        ] &
    ]
  , Permissions -> "Public"

]

Problems


Wasn't able to achieve that, here's why:




  • Form/ApiFunctions where HTTPRedirect works well can't have interative CDFs embedded inside:


     CloudDeploy[
         FormFunction[
             { "this is ok"

             , ExportForm["this is not ok", "CloudCDFElement"]
             }
           , foo
         ]
       , Permissions -> "Public"
     ]


    enter image description here






  • and I can't trigger HTTPRedirect from cloud CDF, nothing happens:


        CloudDeploy[
          ExportForm[
            Button["Submit", Print[1]; HTTPRedirect["http://www.wolfram.com"]], 
            "CloudCDFElement"
          ], Permissions -> "Public"
         ]

Answer



Here are results of my experiments, so far works:


CloudDeploy[
    ExportForm[
        DynamicModule[{x = 1}, Column[{

            Slider@Dynamic@x,
            Dynamic@x,
            Button["Test redirect",
                Module[{link},
                    link = "https://mathematica.stackexchange.com";
                    Print @ EmbeddedHTML[ StringTemplate[
                       ""
                    ]@link
                ]
            ]

        ]}]]
      , "CloudCDF"]
    , Permissions -> "Public"
  ]

.top. was added because EmbeddedHTML translates to an iframe and we don't want to redirect only that iframe itself. On the other hand your cloud object may be embedded in another page and .top. will redirect the whole page. You may need that or not, depends, at the end I'm using .parent. because I want to redirect only the CloudObject parent iFrame.

front end - keyboard shortcut to invoke Insert new matrix

I frequently need to type in some matrices, and the menu command Insert > Table/Matrix > New... allows matrices with lines drawn between columns and rows, which is very helpful. I would like to make a keyboard shortcut for it, but cannot find the relevant frontend token command (4209405) for it. Since the FullForm[] and InputForm[] of matrices with lines drawn between rows and columns is the same as those without lines, it's hard to do this via 3rd party system-wide text expanders (e.g. autohotkey or atext on mac). How does one assign a keyboard shortcut for the menu item Insert > Table/Matrix > New... , preferably using only mathematica? Thanks! Answer In the MenuSetup.tr (for linux located in the $InstallationDirectory/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/TextResources/X/ directory), I changed the line MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog"] to read MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog", MenuKey["m", Modifiers-...

plotting - How to draw lines between specified dots on ListPlot?

I would like to create a plot where I have unconnected dots and some connected. So far, I have figured out how to draw the dots. My code is the following: ListPlot[{{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4,13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full] I have thought using ListLinePlot command, but I don't know how to specify to the command to draw only selected lines between the dots. Do have any suggestions/hints on how to do that? Thank you. Answer One possibility would be to use Epilog with Line : ListPlot[ {{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4, 13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full, Epilog -> { Line[ ...
