<HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hi</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I want to add a custom dashlet to the choices available in the configure wizard of the dasboard. </SPAN><BR /><SPAN>For that I looked at

noreferrer">http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/User_Configurable_Dashboards#Configuring_Available_Layouts</A><BR /><SPAN>but I still couldnt make anything.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>To be precise I just want an dashlet where you have a link that does the same thing as the "add content to your home space" link in the getting started dashlet but with a different text.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>This dashlet is for a particular group of users all using the same login whose role is to put photos in a particular space.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>So instead of add content to your home space I just want to write, put photo to photos space.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Sounds simple but I couldnt manage it.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>The first thing I tried is to declare a new dashlet in the file web-client-config-custom.xml in the extension folder</SPAN><BR /><BR /><PRE class="language-none line-numbers"><CODE>&lt;config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Dashboards"&gt;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;!–
