Configure 8 Dashboard

A dashboard replacement file for the Bludit CMS, built for use with the Configure 8 suite of themes & plugins.

Features

The custom dashboard retains features of the standard Bludit dashboard and adds content from plugins in the Configure 8 suite. Content is grouped into tabbed sections. This includes a summary of site content and the activity log.

Following is a list of plugins that are incorporated into the custom dashboard, if they are installed and active.

• User Profiles
• Categories Lists
• Tags Lists
• Post Comment
• Visits Stats

Requirements

This custom Bludit dashboard requires the Configure 8 theme and its companion plugin to be installed and activated. The dashboard templates, custom and default, are in the Configure 8 plugin, which is activated by the Configure 8 theme.

Installation

1. Install and activate the Configure 8 theme & plugin.
2. Edit the Bludit init file (bl-kernel\boot\init.php) to add define( 'CFE_DASHBOARD', true );
3. Replace the standard dashboard file (bl-kernel\admin\views\dashboard.php) with the dashboard file in this repository.
4. Go to the Configure 8 options page in your site's admin.
5. Find the "Custom Dashboard" option under the "General" tab.
6. Select "Enabled" then save the form.

Backup

Although the Configure 8 plugin uses the contents of the standard Bludit dashboard as the default option, save a copy of the Bludit dashboard file for if or when you disable the Configure 8 theme & plugin. It won't harm anything to leave define( 'CFE_DASHBOARD', true ); in the init file.
