An extended Dashboard manager based on collective.portletpage

Project description

vs.dashboardmanager

vs.dashboardmanager provides a templating mechanism for dashboard pages and a push mechanism for transfering portlets of dashboard template pages into the dashboard of individual site members or all members of a Plone group. Consider vs.dashboardmanager as a kind of remote adminstration tool for dashboards.

Installation

  • add vs.dashboardmanager to the eggs and zcml options of your buildout.cfg and re-run buildout (under Plone 4 you can omit the zcml slug)

  • either create a new Plone site using the Dashboard Manager extension profile or install it through the Plone site setup control panel

Usage

  • use the dashboard management option from the Plone control panel or add @@dashboard-manager to the URL of the Plone site to see the dashboard manager. It will list the available dashboards. When installed from scratch it should say “No portletpage template available”.

  • create a new Dashboard Manager from the standard “Add” drop-down menu in the folder contents view. It is a standard content-type and available anywhere on the site.

  • provide title, description and body text. This will be shown above the portlets the dashboard manager will contain later. Save.

  • add some portlets (using the Portlets tab). The portlets are left as-is and may be configured to your liking. You may add up to four portlets here.

  • push the portlet into the dashboard of a user or a group using the assigments tab of the Dashboard Manager. Pick a Plone group from the drop-down field or type the name of an individual user and push “Assign portlets to dashboard(s)”.

  • as a user that had a dashboard manager assigned to visit the /dashboard. It should show the portlets you assigned.

  • a portlet page is a page containing portlets as its content and can not be assigned to users or roles, but behaves like a normal page. Add portlets using the Portlets tab. The portlets are left as-is and may be configured to your liking. You may add up to four portlets here.

  • if the is not what you expect check the criteria by which your portlets show their content. I.e., the events portlet may show published events only, etc.

Tested

  • tested with Plone 3.3.X

  • tested with Plone 4.0.X
