pimped our dashboard
We (myself and courtney miller) finally launched a little dashboard feature for http://nisenet.org We have a lot of content types - and they are grouped in certain sets of types of content types. So, I made a themer-friendly dashboard module. You can see it has lists of links/shortcuts. Also, there are tabs of views made for the users, right now 2 of them -- their content and their comments. THAT uses the tabs module, which rules. This is what i want to do next, which would make the dashboard module really awesome: * make it prepackage the user's content & comments views * add a block to the module which can be shoved anywhere on the site * it would be nice to make a settings manager for menus...maybe menu presets that suggest content types from the system to include - with weights. Because in our current version i've just hard-coded these in our custom module while we figure out how the dashboard is going to work. i will eventually build menus...but it would be nicer if it was in settings so i could do it for all my sites. the end. (i attached the module & the theme functions below. they are pretty much still in development, but if it gives you some ideas for your own site... there's also an example of how we used the tabs module to make tabs of views)
