Show URL's to Pages in Shiny App

[michaelgloven]

Hi,

I have a public application https://pipeline-risk.shinyapps.io/COURSE/ with ~ 100 dashboard pages, each with some instructional content for machine learning. I would like to define links to individual pages so they are accessible outside of this COURSE application.

I am using shiny dashboardPagePlus where each instructional page is in a tabPanel. For example, I have a page for Cross-Validation:

tabPanel("Cross_Validation", create_fluid_row('Slide93.png')),

where

create_fluid_row <- function(img_source) {
fluidRow(
box(width = 12,
column(width = 12, align = "center",
withTags({
div(
img(src = img_source, height = "800px")
)})
)))
}

How can I get the tabPanel name of "Cross_Validation" into the URL so a user just needs this link to access the page: https://pipeline-risk.shinyapps.io/COURSE/Cross_Validation. This is the link I'd like to see in the URL window, right now navigating through the COURSE application persists https://pipeline-risk.shinyapps.io/COURSE/ in the URL window without any specifics to the specific page in the application.

thanks for your ideas.

I dont think you can do this in a vanilla shiny app, shiny is a single page app paradigm as far as I can tell.
You may be able to get someway towards your ideal with the bookmarking features; see

but I doubt this will do it for you, just googling around it seems there are other things you can try (that I have no independent experience of) see link_2
