We using the Smartsheet API to make information in Smartsheet searchable. So we need to link to individual entities in Smartsheet like sheets, reports and workspaces. And all those have permalinks to them, but entities inside sheets like discussions and rows cannot be uniquely referenced in a URL AFAIK. Is this not supported?
Please consider adding more permalinks to entities like discussions and rows if these are not already supported, it would make integrations like ours way more "targeted" than just pointing to sheets or workspaces.
Stein - you are right, we don't currently support discussion or row permalinks. Understand and appreciate your use case and it's high on the list, although don't have an ETA at this time.

I'd like to build a semi-automated site where pages would be created based on information on the database.
The site would be a vocabulary-like site where there will be thousands of words with their associated meaning, phonetics, and sentence examples along with other useful information.
Since a CMS like WordPress wouldn't work in that sense, what is the best solution for a system like this?
thanks,
I haven't come across any documentation provided by Tableau in asking this question but I'd like to ask if anyone knows whether the info columns in the Sites or Users section are customizable for anyone with Server Administrator privileges. Mainly these columns show site/user metrics but I'm not sure if you can add your own columns to that list to track your own metrics.
Unfortunately, no. Even Admins do not have the ability to add/sort/change columns on these pages (or any other pages, I believe.)
You can always make this suggestion on the Tableau Ideas Forum though. Others can vote your idea up and Tableau will see it.
You can create your own custom admin views of information stored in the Tableau server repository. See this link. https://onlinehelp.tableau.com/current/server/en-us/adminview_postgres.htm
You could also use the server's Rest API to query information and display however you like. https://onlinehelp.tableau.com/current/api/rest_api/en-us/REST/rest_api.htm
If you're working in Python, there is an open source library that makes using the Rest API more convenient

Call me crazy, but I'm looking for a service that will deliver autocomplete functionality similar to Google, Twitter, etc. After searching around for 20 min I thought to ask the geniuses here. Ideas?
I don't mind paying, but it would great if free.. Also is there a top notch NLP service that I can submit strings to and get back states, cities, currencies, company names, establishments, etc. Basically I need to take unstructured data (generic search string) and pull out key information with relevant meta-data.
Big challenge, I know.
Sharing solutions I found after further research.

If you dont want to implement it yourself, you can use this service called 'Autocomplete as a Service' which is specifically written for these purposes. You can access it here - www.aaas.io.
you can add metadata with each record and it returns metadata along with the matching results. Do check out demo put up on the home page. It has got a very simple API specifically written for autocomplete search
It does support large datasets and you can apply filters as well while searching.
Its usage is simple - Add your data and use the API URL as autocomplete data source.
Disclaimer: I am founder of it. I will be happy to provide this service to you.
I need a textarea multi auto-completer like this.
However, in the example, the options are local. Does anyone know how I could get my options from a database?
You can simply initialize the tokens array fetching all the values from the database. Be careful, this is good only if the number of words fetched fromm the database is not too big (hundreds, half a thousand maximum).
If it's not your case, and you have lots of words in your database, you have to think about an AJAX autocompleter solution.
I've just released one since a lot of people seem to be after this kind of tagging (I blame google+) and I had it written and in my github repos already.
If you can work it out from the source as I have no time to document and support this, good luck: http://mootools.net/forge/p/mootagify
hint: you pass on the configured Request.JSON instance, which you setup to get the tags - the onSuccess event is handled by the autoCompleter class (which is a standalone).

I'm considering Wordpress as my CMS platform for a client site I'm doing at the moment.
However, I need to create a couple of custom 'modules'. One of these modules is a form that people will be able to complete and have a quote, and once submitted, in a special place in the Wordpress panel (like a menu or something), there will be a listing of all the submitted quotes (just fetching it from a table in my database).
Another one is to manage a cafeteria menu, so the client can add a different meal to each day of the week.
I know perfectly how to do this kind of things using some kind of MVC framework and doing it 'by-hand', but I'm just wondering if this would be possible to do with WP and if yes, what kind of tools I'll have to use.
Thanks
Quite simply, yes, WordPress would be a more-than-capable asset to your criteria. But it's whether the learning curve in getting to know WP outweighs using a framework you're clearly already familiar with?
Personally, it sounds you like you're pretty solid with PHP, and considering the fact that, in my opinion, what you're planning on doing is relatively easy, I'd say WordPress is an excellent solution.
I'd recommend reading about WordPress 3.0's new custom post type API, and skimming the basics of hooks and filters in the Plugin API.
Submitted quotes would merely be a custom post type. You'd be better off writing the front-end code (like handling the form, UI etc.) yourself, either within a theme or plugin, then using wp_insert_post and let WordPress handle all the database administration. In fact, WP will go one step further and set up the entire admin for viewing, editing and deleting quotes.
Post meta (also known as custom fields) is also there for you if you need to store additional information about a quote that doesn't quite fit the post's table structure.
For the menu, this is even easier. I'd say just create a post category called 'Menu', and the client can publish 'dishes' to it as you would with a blog or any similar rolling format.
I've only licked the surface here. Get stuck in with the above, then check out some other goodies like meta boxes and custom taxonomies!
If you want to try a plugin instead of writing something yourself, Flutter might work. It's a little unpolished sometimes but it makes this sort of thing an absolute breeze.
