Nick,
I am creating a Node-Red instance to replace old software we use for Quality monitoring on packaging lines. The status of the process has to be seen at a distance and one of the means was to turn the colors of the barcode monitoring text boxes Red or Green, other colors depending on what's going on.

My question to you is how can I access the configuration settings under "Dashboard, Theme, Widget background" in order to programatically change them, or is it even possible? Or how about the rest of the settings? Perhaps in a new release?

Thanks,
Kyle

Hi Nick,
I'm playing around with the UI Dashboard(Dropdown node) & dynamically changing the placeholder text field. I've tried the {{msg.topic/label/value etc}} method, which DOES work for the Label & Payload fields of the node!?. Am i going to have to use a template to achieve this?

Hi I'm unable to install node-red dashoard using- npm install node-red-dashboard.
Errors: there are so many errors including- fatal error: node_api.h: No such file or directory
#include <node_api.h> and also build error.
Looking forward for any help.

I think it would be better for you to start a new thread titled something like "Unable to install Dashboard" rather than adding this to an old thread. When you start the thread tell what OS you are running on, how you installed node-red and post the full log you get when you run that command. Use the </> button and paste the log where it says.

I have installed mdashboard and dashboard both in nodered due to which I am unable to browse UI in browser it gives message add flows in ui .
How can disable used functions of mdashboard to uninstall mdashboard.

Remove all the mdashboard nodes from the flow and deploy. Then check in the menu option Configuration Nodes that there are no unused config nodes related to mdashboard.

Hello, I have a question using "node-red-contrib-ui-etable". In the node properties I try to define a filter like this:

{
        "title": "P_Kw",
        "field": "P_Kw",
        "width": "5%",
        "editor": "input",
        "headerFilter": "list",
        "headerFilterParams": {
            "valuesLookup": true,
            "clearable": true
        }
    },

But without result, I don't get the filter visible below the title in my table on the dashboard. I read many times Tabulator doc. but without succes. If somebody could help me to fit this filter in a good way ?

Hello, after a while, I found my error.
this node "node-red-contrib-ui-etable" is a version 4.6.3 and should therefore be linked to the Tabulator v 4.6 documentation.
After that it's clearer and the instruction I'm looking for is :

{
        "title": "P_Kw",
        "field": "P_Kw",
        "width": 55,
        "headerFilter": "select",
        "headerFilterParams": {
            "values": true
        }
    },

It works... Yes

Hello, I have a question using "node-red-contrib-ui-etable". In the node Properties I try to define a filter like this:

    rowFormatter:function(row){
        if(row.getData().Situation == "Déclassé"){
            row.getElement().style.backgroundColor = "#d4d9d8";
        }
    },

How can I add this filter in the node Properties - Options ?

{
    "movableColumns": true,
    "resizableColumns": true,
    "selectable": 1,
    "responsiveLayout": "collapse",
    "autoResize": true,
    "layout": "fitColumns",
    "pagination": "local",
    "height": "1000px",
    "groupBy": "system",
    "groupStartOpen": true
}

Could you help me to fit this filter ?
