How do I change the vertical order of event lines in Simile Timeline? Where in the code does it decide what order to put them in?
I have tried looking into this also. I am convinced it is random order.
This not the answer you wanted but try using this timeline
http://almende.github.io/chap-links-library/timeline.html
It is quite flexible, you can choose your create your own layout and use your own CSS/HTML in each individual event.
Edit: Found a attribute that you could use to change the order
trackNum - used to override the automatic layout of events on the
Timeline.

Is it possible to add an arbitrary label to a GA4 exploration?
For example I am tracking outbound link clicks for phone numbers. I would like to add a short description to each number.
I was thinking something like if Link URL equals 'tel: xx xxxx xxx' a label would say 'city office'. Any ideas on this?
Well... You have GTM tag added to your question. This implies that you're ok having a GTM solution.
Well, in GTM, find the tag that fires on the phone clicks, add a custom event property to the tag that would contain the description of the numbers, make a custom JS (CJS) or a look up table (LUT) or better a regex LUT, and map your numbers to descriptions.
Then go to GA and register that event property as a custom dimension. Done.
You could also override the link url dimension in GTM with a CJS var that would generate descriptions in the same dimension, but it's not a good idea to override default dimensions unless you're confident about what you're doing.
GA4 has capabs to modify event properties, but it's extremely basic and won't be able to change properties based on their values. Also, it's a bad idea to have data modification logic in GA. It's best to contain all data modification logic in one place whenever you can help it.
Like the topic say I want to overwrite/change the "Menu Manager: Edit Menu item" layout. To illustrate my question:
In the picture whiche is shown I want to change the labels: Layout, Option, Integration.... and add some other options to it. How can I do it? Or is this even possible?
In order to change the text, simply use language overrides, google is your friend.
In order to add functionality, let's first of all explain what we're talking about to ensure we're on the same page.
Joomla components have views which can have one or more layouts, i.e.
/components/com_content/views/category/tmpl/ contains two layouts, blog and default.
A layout can additionally contain an .xml manifest (in our case, blog.xml and default.xml) allowing us to create a menu item for the specific view/layout combination. The .xml file contains the parameters that the user will set, you can add your own as well.
When you want to change Joomla, usually there is a way to do so without touching the core, which would be pretty bad, as any Joomla! updates would break your work.
For the view layouts a special feature called template override was developed, which allows you to create an alternative to the view layout in a safe place (under your template folder, in this case your admin template), and this is the most elegant and effective way to achieve your result.
Beware though, you are just creating a layout, most likely you will want to add functionality, if it's complex you might be better off creating a dedicated component to keep the code clean. Or you can just put all the logic in your view, query the database from there. But in this latter case, get paid, and run away. Never answer the phone to the customer again.
A final alternative is to write a system plugin that will manipulate the page markup after it was generated in the event onAfterRender(). This is a simple and good approach if you only want to add a button or make minor changes, but if you do anything more than that, see the above advise about running away.
I've created an alternative layout for one of my articles which can be applied successfully, but as has been highlighted in various forums: if you view the article using the Single Article menu type the alternative layout doesn't get applied because of an XML override.
I have a Joomla site that is setup for Sales and Support where the article info such as date, hits etc is useful but on the marketing side none of that is needed, hence an alternative layout would work well.
I want to know how to enable my alternative layout using the Single Article menu type - I've already got the layout how I want it (testing it by having it overwrite default.php) but want to set it up as marketing.php instead and only have it applied to what is needed.
You're probably not going to like this answer because you have already written you're alternate view. If you were rewriting it to begin with, why would you not write in a way that the side bar parameters (date, hits, ect) are within a container that is only loaded conditionally. This way you would only have one view to worry about and a lot less headaches.
I'm trying to implement a list of items on a web page in which each item on the list is reorder-able via drag and drop. The current placement of an item within the list should set an 'interest' property on the item's model.
I've never built anything like this before and not really sure where to start or what approach to take. Any guidance would be very helpful!
You can use acts_as_list gem to simplify reorder process at backend, and jQuery.sortable at frontend
I found this walkthrough which was very helpful:

I want to know that can i change the navigation menu dynamically,i am having two tabs on the basis of which i want to render the navigation menu.How can it be done
Thanks in advance
For usability reasons, the global navigation generally shouldn't change. Users will expect to see the same options available to them and will get confused (and leave) if they aren't.
Could you explain the requirement more?
EDIT:
Usability issues aside, try adding all necessary items to the top nav, then use Javascript to toggle between tabs. If you don't want to change the navigation PHTML files to add IDs to them, you can use the existing classes to target which nav items to show and which to hide.
Since Magento stores cannot function without JS anyway, you should be pretty safe with that solution. Preferably, you can change the top nav's template (I believe app/design/frontend/base/default/template/page/template/links.phtml in 1.4) to use IDs for those LIs as well, in which case you can target those instead.
Thanks,
Joe
