Hey, Francisco,

The idea is not for clients to create dashboard panels. The developer should do that. If you don't want your clients creating or configuring their dashboard panels, you can take away the permissionf ro those actions in the Security section.

Hey Aaron, just wondering if its possible to configure a dashboard in _config or an YML file instead of all the steps required in the dashboard itself... probably most clients wont be able to make their own dashboards, so it could be a good idea to have a config file that creates the default dashboard...
said that, most of the clients dont need options like move things around or add new panels, since we already provided all the ones he can need programatically in the config file...
what do you think?

yes, just noticed that... but i was wondering if its possible to make a default setting using just _config... probably not in this version. ;)

just a tip: management/Property/a1111391w38250730p37835696/ thats the url for a website in google analytics. the user ID is the numbers that immediately follow the p -> 37835696 .

I see what you're saying. So it would look something like this:

Dashboard::set_default(array(

DashboardRecentEditsPanel::create(array(
'Title' => "Recent edits",
'Count' => 5
)),

DashboardGoogleAnalyticsPanel::create(array(
'ProfileID' => 123455
'Username' => '[email protected]',
'Password' => 'foo',
'PathType' => 'none',
'Range' => '30 days'
)),

));

I like that idea!

But I also like the idea of being able to create a default dashboard in the CMS. That way you can see what you're creating, instead of just doing it in code.

yes! exactly, so you can have a predefined dashboard saved on your project. actually it could be nice too to add inside a module the dashboard panel definition for it, so you can quick add it to the project. i will play with some of my modules ;).

btw... im trying to add the lang files for the module, but in my ss version i18nTextCollectorTask is screwed... can you run it on your machine so i can provide the spanish translations?
