Hi all,

I have a problem with our dashboard:

Steps: 1) I edit the dashboard 2) I add a column 3) I drag a gadget to that new column 4) Save the page

The dashboard does not save the new layout, and throws everything in one column.

If I edit the Objects of that page, the positions of the gadgets are correct (for example (2,1))

It just doesn't get displayed correctly :-(

Works fine for me. If you want any help you'll need to provide us with a way to reproduce this. Best would be a XAR export of the dashboard page. Thanks -Vincent

Vincent,

Could you try this:

1) Create a new space, but use a *blank page* (not a dashboard) 2) Edit that page and insert some text onto that page and also {{dashboard/}} 3) Edit that page inline and add some gadgets and columns the dashboard

Does the dashboard remember the layout?

Yes. All worked fine for me. Thanks -Vincent

Okay...I want to try something else:

How can I "delete" the dashboard?

Because when I remove the {{dashboard/}} from the page, it will remove the dashboard, but when I put {{dashboard/}} back onto the page, it has remembered the old dashboard.

Where does this dashboard get stored? (so I can remove it)

In objects attached to the document. The {{dashboard}} macro just displays those objects, so deleting the macro will leave the objects in place. To forget the whole dashboard, remove all the XWiki.GadgetClass objects from the document. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu

Right, I have been able to narrow the problem down to a custom macro I have created. As soon as I add this macro to the page, the columns of the dashboad are overruled by this macro! This macro is using the {{container}} macro to display all the child-pages of a page. My guess is that a page only knows one "container", and that the 'nr_of_columns' of my custom macro is setting the number of columns of the whole page (and thus also the dashboad). As soon as I changed the 'nr_of_columns' of my custom macro to 2, the dashboard was also displayed with two columns. I have noticed the Column Macro <http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Column+Macro> so maybe I was using the wrong code-snippet? I will rework my custom macro to use the Column Macro, I will let you guys know what happens! -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Dashboard-does-not-remember-layout-tp75853...
