You can easily write your own custom dashboard plugins by extending the Model_Dashboard_Widget
class.
Dashboard plugins can be located in the following directory:
/usr/local/psa/admin/plib/modules/juggernaut/library/application/classes/Model/Dashboard/Plugin/
Dashboard plugin example:
<?php defined('SYSPATH') OR die('No direct access allowed.');
/**
* Model_Dashboard_Plugin_Announcements
* @package application
* @category Models
* @author Danami
*/
class Model_Dashboard_Plugin_Announcements extends Model_Dashboard_Widget {
/**
* Plugin constructor
* @access public
* @return void
*/
public function __construct()
{
// plugin meta
$this->_data['id'] = 'Announcements';
$this->_data['title'] = __('Announcements');
$this->_data['author'] = 'Danami';
$this->_data['image'] = URL::asset('img/application/dashboard/plugins/announcements.png');
}
/**
* loads our widget
* @access public
* @return void
*/
public function load_widget()
{
// assign our view
$this->_data['output'] = new View('dashboard/plugins/announcements');
// get our announcments feed
$feed = Feed::fetch('announcements');
// assign to the template
$this->_data['output']->bind('feed', $feed);
}
}
