Brian,

thanks for the suggestions, all great ideas. I especially like the idea of a dashlet that plays videos from YouTube.

Anyone interested up for the challenge?

BTW, we now have 6 sample dashlets in the Content Community, http://community.alfresco.com/alfresco/n/browse/workspace/SpacesStore/c007d070-a053-11dd-9327-b795e27a066b

How about make the dashlets collapsible. So if you have a lot of dashlets you can click on the header and the entire thing shrinks down to just the header bar.

Probably would take a short show/hide div JS. Hopefully ill find time to get it working.

If anyone beats me to it please let me know!

Why not just allow users to add embed code to their own dashlets (e.g., via Share Web interface)?

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZZUjzgoCp6k&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZZUjzgoCp6k&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>‍

The expected sysadmin response is that this is a security risk and administrators must control which dashlets are available. Of course, many users have been using embed code (Web 2.0 circa 2007) in their personal blogs, wikis, and websites, and increasingly expect to have this kind of control over their work environments…

The only issue i could see with this is Cross Site Scripting Attacks (XSS) or sloppy queries bogging down alfresco.

If you could block java script in this dashlet, i think it would work with minimal and mitigatiable issues.

Though, i think i have 2 users other than my self with this level of expertise….

Realize this thread is pretty old,
but my team is looking for a 'discussion' dashlet, basically something with the discussion functionality but in a dashlet instead of having to click through the discussion tab.

Hello,

I would like to ask if there is such a thing as a 'poll' dashlet?

Thanks.
Bernard.

Hi Bernard,

I recently contributed a poll dashlet to the share-extras project in case you are still looking for something like this.

http://code.google.com/p/share-extras/wiki/SitePollDashlet

There is also an Issues section on the main share-extras project, so if anyone else has specific ideas for a Share dashlet they would like to see then I would encourage you to write up a proposal on there.

Thanks,
Will.
