Sorry, the this was referring to this:

Also, is there a way to only show the dashboard to certain users?

Thanks

Re: Creating an admin side welcome page

Blumie,
If you edit the plugin a bit you can get it to show on its own tab, but its not clean really.
It would take someone who knows what they are doing to get the functionality you are looking for.
What are you trying to achieve?

Re: Creating an admin side welcome page

This is a great plugin! Thanks!

It would be even more wonderful if it would be possible to personalize the page to the current user: not only show the most recent articles, but also that user’s most recent articles. (Am I right in assuming that if this is based on recent_articles, there is no way to get an author specific article list?)

And I agree with ma_smith that a tab for this would be very handy. If it’s to be a dashboard, users will want to return to it.

Re: Creating an admin side welcome page

Those are sensible ideas, but I like I wrote:

Here is something very simple (mostly as a proof of concept) to get plugin authors started.

Everybody is welcome to make a proper, fully featured plugin from this idea. Or pay someone to do that.

Right, sorry. Didn’t mean to say “YOU! Go do this RIGHT NOW!”, if that’s what you read into my post.

I am looking into adapting this plugin so I can use it for one of my sites (thanks again for providing the basis). And yet silly me thought it might still be helpful to anyone else who, in future, might come across this thread, to share some ideas for future development.
