In other words I want to create a dashboard shortcut to the folders in the Document Library, so that the user doesn't have to drill down each time.

Thanks!

sure thing, fast tutorial:

\jsp\dashboards\dashlets\getting started.jsp

<h:panelGrid columns="2" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" border="0" id="tour-panel">
<h:graphicImage value="/images/icons/gettingstarted_featuretour.gif" width="32" height="32" />
<h:panelGroup id="tour-link">
<a:actionLink href="http://www.alfresco.com/products/ecm/tour/" target="new" style="font-weight:bold" value="#{msg.gettingstarted_featuretour}" />
<f:verbatim><br></f:verbatim>
<h:outputText value="#{msg.gettingstarted_featuretour_desc}" />
</h:panelGroup>
</h:panelGrid>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

<a:actionLink href="/alfresco/navigate/browse/workspace/SpacesStore/0000-0000-0000-0000" target="new" style="font-weight:bold" value="Documetn library" />

href value you can copy paste from space details dialog ->Browse Page URL .
=========================
this way you would have your link. you can work on our own where you want the list, and with what text, icons ect.
hope this was helpful for you.

Thank you for taking the time to help me. It looks like your code is telling Alfresco Share's "Getting Started" dashlet to display a link to "Document Library", right?

Can you explain where you want to put your link? with picture would be great, i will see to send you code you need.

On everyone's Dashboard, in Alfresco explorer (not share). It doesn't matter where it goes. But I know you can manually add a link and it appears under Shelf. It can go there if possible.
(Tried putting an img it didn't work)

hire is the unswer http://forums.alfresco.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=34698#p101289

it works, and I can prove it, give me address of your space and I will provide you with the code.

I believe that it works, I am sure I am simply doing something wrong. Can you put a screenshot of where your link is on the screen?

<h:panelGrid columns="2" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" border="0" id="demo-panel">
<h:graphicImage value="/images/icons/gettingstarted_demonstration.gif" width="32" height="32" />
<h:panelGroup id="demo-link">
<a:actionLink href="http://localhost:8080/alfresco/n/browse/workspace/SpacesStore/b9e9701f-0c6e-499a-9a98-eca3dd55c82b"  style="font-weight:bold" value="This is a start" />
<f:verbatim><br></f:verbatim>
<h:outputText value="This is short cut to my directory" />
</h:panelGroup>
</h:panelGrid>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

this is copy paste from my alfresco, you should just add msg for description and href value, or you can hardcode it.
also you should change address of the space. hope this helps. :idea:
