[xwiki-users] Change Space "Blank Page" into "Dashboard"
I have the request that the current "blank page" of a certain space of our wiki needs to become a "dashboard". Which steps do I need to take to change the "WebHome" of a Space into a Dashboard? -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Change-Space-Blank-Page-into-Dashboard-tp7...

First you need to replace the existing content with the dashboard macro [1]. You can do this either from the WYSIWYG editor (Insert Macro menu, select Dashboard, then save the page) or from the Wiki editor (simply replace the content with {{dashboard/}} and save the page). Then you have to edit the page in "Inline form" edit mode and add whatever gadgets you want to the dashboard. Note that you need to be an advanced user [2] in order to have the full Edit menu (including the "Inline form" entry). Hope this helps, Marius [1] http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Dashboard+Macro [2] http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/PageEditing#HAdvancedMode

To answer my own question: The Dashboard Application <http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Dashboard+Application> states that you only have to include this code onto a page: {{dashboard source="Dashboard.SpaceDashboardTemplate"/}} That will show the Default Dashboad. The Dashboard Application states that you can edit the page "Inline" to add/remove gadgets. But when you do that, you will get a warning that you are about to edit the "Dashboard.SpaceDashboardTemplate" and that all pages that are using that template will be affected, and you should clear the source if you wanted to "start fresh". What I did: I edited the dashboard macro in the WYSIWYG editor and removed the "source". That gave me an empty dashboard. I could then edit the page "Inline" and start adding Gadgets and Columns. If you have added a gadget to the dashboard and you want to remove it, you should edit the Objects of that page. There you will find all the gadgets (as objects added to the page) and you can rename/remove/edit the gadgets. Hope this helps somebody else! -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Change-Space-Blank-Page-into-Dashboard-tp7...
