I have a problem with my Shinydashboard: I created a map and i would like to show it only in a menuSubItem (TTTest1) of MenuItem "Test3".
As of now, the only content that will be shown is my map and the tabBox "Legend".
I assume that the sidebar I have, does not have a real functionality because even if i click on any item of the sidebar, there is no blank page – only my map and a tabBox and nothing really changes, as if it were "static".
Can anyone tell me what went wrong and where i did this (big) mistake?

>Solution :
You aren’t using tabName correctly. First, you shouldn’t reuse tab names in the sidebar. Those will be clashing. A lot of your menuSubItem tabs are have repeated values. That should be fixed to something like…
sidebar <- dashboardSidebar(
sidebarMenu(
menuItem("Test1", tabName = "dashboard", icon = icon("dashboard")),
menuItem("Test2",tabName = "charts", icon = icon("bar-chart-o"),
menuSubItem("TTest1", tabName = "subitem1"),
menuSubItem("TTest2", tabName = "subitem2"),
menuSubItem("TTest3", tabName = "subitem3"),
menuSubItem("TTest4", tabName = "subitem4")),
menuItem("Test3", tabName = "choice", icon = icon("dashboard"),
menuSubItem("TTTest1", tabName = "subitem4"),
menuSubItem("TTTest2", tabName = "subitem5"),
menuSubItem("TTTest3", tabName = "subitem6"),
menuSubItem("TTTest4", tabName = "subitem7")),
menuItem("Test4", tabName = "Prod", icon = icon("dashboard"),
menuSubItem("TTTTest1", tabName = "subitem8"),
menuSubItem("TTTTest2", tabName = "subitem9"),
menuSubItem("TTTTest3", tabName = "subitem10"),
menuSubItem("TTTTest4", tabName = "subitem11"))
)
)
Notice now there are no repeated tabNames. These are what you want to use in the dashBoardBody to associate the sidebar with the body of the app.
If you want your leaflet map to appear in Test3/TTTest1, you need to use that tabName specifically. In the code chunk above, tabName = "subitem4".
body <- dashboardBody(
tabItems(
# Map Output
tabItem(tabName = "subitem4",
fluidRow(
leafletOutput("myMap"),
tabBox(
title = "Legend",
id = "tabset1", height = "150px", width = "500px",
tabPanel("Explaining", "If this then that"),
tabPanel("Source", "Here you can find my data")
),
)
),
The connection between your sidebar menu and what appears on the body of those pages is the tabName.
