Can I display left navigation bar in LTI Tool launch screen in Blackboard Learn? - lti

I have developed and configured an LTI Tool in Blackboard Learn and it is running fine. When I click on the link in the LTI Tool, it gets launched in an iframe without left navigation bar.
I have checked a few existing default Tools such as Wikis and Announcements which also contains left navigation bar. I want to display my LTI Tool with the left navigation bar in a course shell like as Wikis and Announcements tool. I didn't find any configurations during LTI Tool setup for a course. Is it possible to display left navigation bar for an LTI Tool in Blackboard Learn? Could you please help me to figure it out?

The end user decides in Blackboard if your LTI tool launches in a new window or the same window. If it is started in the same window you'll see the tabs and breadcrumbs, but depending on Blackboard version, you may not be able to see the left menu.
Tools started in Ultra courses have the purple close button in the upper left which let you come back to the course navigation ...
To run the tool with left navigation you may need to build a Building Block instead.

Unable to add a script button as a left sidebar new tool item in Tabletop Simulator

I am preparing a mod for a tabletop simulator game, and I will be using clickable buttons as there are many options and different setups depending on the number of players that come and how they want to play the game. However, the game is extensive in the number of pieces in the table, so I was trying to add the buttons (that run the setup scripts) as left sidebar tool add-ons so we didn't stretch the table further to the sides to house the setup buttons.
I have looked through the app documentation and I found no way to script-force the buttons into left sidebar tool icons. All I could find was to add some dropdown menus by using XML in the CUSTOM UI but nothing specific that would create a left sidebar new buttons and items.
Is there something I missed and there is a possibility to do it?
Thanks in advance
Best regards

I stumbled upon this workshop
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1393821479
in it there's a section of coding under the UI tab that if you modify it then the created floating button can be moved over to the left side. I believe with this you could create your own drop down menus as well. Note I did edit the below line of coding to put the button on the left below the rest of the menu buttons. Hope this helps you achieve what you want.

Home Screen Quick Actions
Home screen quick actions are a convenient way to perform useful, app-specific actions right from the Home screen. People can get a menu of available quick actions when they touch and hold an app icon (on a 3D Touch device, people can press briefly on the icon to see the menu).

Calabash Tracking Of Closing A Side Menu

Sorry for the confusing title but I can't get my head around to find the right words for this scenario:
We have an iOS app that has a top-left menu button. If you tap it, a side menu opens and most of the screen (incl. the menu button) are slid to the right.
for Calabash I need to track the ID of the view that is slid to the right. Any tap on the whole slid-to-right view area will close the menu. The menu icon itself seems to have no other function than being a visual help and its accessibility ID cannot be found by Calabash while the menu is open.
Does anyone know how iOS handles this kind of navigation? To sum it up:
We have an initial view open with a menu button.
If button is tapped, menu slides in from left and current view is moved to right (mostly out of the screen).
You can now tap any of the remaining visible area of the initial view and the menu will close again (the menu button seems to receive no touch during this).
I need to figure out to what assign an accessibility ID to so that Calabash can 'imitate' a tap on the slid-out, initial view to close the menu.
Have you tried using the Accessibility Inspector in the Developer Tools of Xcode? This might help you in seeing whether or not you can interact with the slid-out menu.
Also if you haven't tried using the calabash command tree - I'd give that a go as well. For that open the menu you're trying to interact with use the command calabash-ios console > console_attach > tree.
You will be able to see the whole view hierarchy here, you can even run tree before and after the menu pops out to see if it makes a difference.

Best way to realize multi page site in Vaadin

I'm working on pretty simple web side that cointains login screen (almost same as in demo presentation, white page with login and password) and main screen with sidebar and navigation bar. How should it be done? My plan is to build main screen using navigation bar, sidebar (just few buttons in layout basicly) and few layouts with content of the webside. On each button click change layout used to create content to another one, for example for Schudele button I'm gonna load layout that contains some tables, for About button plain text. Is it good idea?
So finnaly is should look like this:
init() function decides if user is logged or not and display Login page or Main page, Main Page is builded from modules like navbar, sidebar and content, content depends on sidebar buttons click. I'm right?
Handling it on your own is legit way to start or learn Vaadin. If you have a first grasp of this works out, the most common way to handle such a scenario is the use of the Navigator See the book of Vaadin.
With the Navigator you define Views and give them a name, register them with the Navigator. Then you can navigate your application with the Navigator, it takes care to give you nice ...#!view... URLs so the Users can have bookmarks and navigate your app also e.g. with the back button in the browser.
The Navigator hooks into an event system, where listeners (ViewChangeListener) can react to "before enter" and "leave". The "before enter" can be used to realize auth needs, since they are allowed to object entering a view.

Cascade Multiple windows using Jquery Window plugin

I am using Jquery Window plugin v5.03 for my web application. I have to open the multiple windows on screen. But when I call the function to create a window they all open up in the center of the screen and overlap on one another such that previously opened screens are not visible.
I want the windows to open in such a way that at least the title bar and the cross icon is visible on top of the previously opened window. So that the user can know that another window is opened and previous windows are cascaded at the back and are slightly visible.
Please help.
