Sorry to bump this, but it's driving me mad. Probably because I am dim.

Being more specific, when defining dashlets for a custom site preset in presets.xml, you have to define a path to the dashlet. The default ones all appear to be in /components/dashlets.

However, when I install an addon dashlet, such as the site blog dashlet by dropping a .jar into tomcat/shared/lib it doesn't appear to deploy the dashlet into components/dashlets.

I am probably doing something really stupid, or missing the point of something completely, but does anyone know what it is?

Well, apologies for the monologue here, but I got there. I am not sure why or how this works, but then again I don't have much of a clue about java stuff

For the site blog dashlet it's a standard path:

<url>/components/dashlets/site-blog</url>

For the Site Task Manager it's a funny one

<url>/formtek/components/dashlets/sitetaskmgr</url>

Works though.
