or even select widgets , etc . I posted the request thinking of users
who want to include other custom widgets in dashboard view . So far
they can't do so .
Indeed , if you want me to be more precise I was in first place
thinking of myself installing Bloodhound in a public site on the
internet and wishing to add other information in main dashboard view .
Te way things are going I just can't do so ... <= frustrating
I would argue that your frustration is from knowing what is possible in
principle.
And I would argue further that the cases you want to support by using a
customisable dashboard might be done better with wiki pages and the
widgets provided by macros. I suspect that widget macros are likely to
becoming a reality sooner.
Anyway, I think what might help is if I come up with a more definite
plan around how the dashboard and related items will evolve, or we will
be arguing about this for a while! Hopefully I will get back to you soon
with that.
Cheers,
