collective.idashboard 1.0

This is a Plone Product that makes your user dashboard behave similarly to the iGoogle dashboard.

Introduction

This is a Plone Product that makes your user dashboard behave similarly to the iGoogle dashboard.

Specifically, it adds the following functionality:

• Drag and drop portlets within and between rows

• Ajax enabled inline portlet editing and saving

• Toggle show/hide portlets

Dependencies

collective.js.jquery:

This product requires JQuery 1.3.2 which is currently not part of the latest Plone Release. The JQuery 1.3.2 source code is bundled in this released but the xml and zcml directives for registering it has been disabled. Instead you should use collective.js.jquery. See the included buildout.cfg.

Install

collective.idashboard uses overrides.zcml, so make sure you add the following to your buildout.cfg:

[instance]

zcml = collective.idashboard-overrides

When adding a new Plone site, choose both the JQuery and the collective.idashboard profiles.
