collective.idashboard 1.2.3

This Plone add-on product gives your dashboard features similiar to those of the iGoogle dashboard.

Introduction

Pimp your Plone dashboard!

This is a Plone Product that makes your users’ Plone 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

• Ajax removal/deletion of portlets with themable confirmation modal dialog.

• Toggle show/hide portlets

Dependencies

• http://pypi.python.org/pypi/collective.js.jquery

• http://pypi.python.org/pypi/collective.js.jqueryui

• http://pypi.python.org/pypi/collective.alerts

Install

Add ‘slc.idashboard’ egg to the [instance] part in your buildout configure:

eggs =
    collective.idashboard

Upgrading to 1.2.3:

From version 1.2.3 onwards, overrides.zcml is no longer used, so make sure you remove the following from the ‘zcml’ subsection in your [instance] section:

zcml =
    collective.idashboard
    collective.idashboard-overrides

Make sure that you run the import step in the Plone Control Panel. Just click on the button next to ‘Upgrade:’. Drag and drop will not be enabled if you forget to do this.

Thanks to optilude/Martin Aspeli for the improvement suggestions!
