Since you can write a Template and use that in a custom dashlet, you can do pretty much anything ethat API can do. There is a template already installed in the "/Company Home/Data Dictionary/Presentation Templates" folder called 'recent_docs.ftl' that shows docs added to your home space in the last 7 days - that is a good starting point.

In 2.1 we provide some nifty looking Web Script based dashlets such as My Documents which shows the documents in your space. The "mydocs" webscript accepts a path to a space (default as your Home Space) or a Lucene query to use to retrieve the list of documents to show. Using a simply customised version of that webscript dashlet can do what you want and more.

Hope this helps,

I would like to customize the page after login with company logos, so admin and users can view this logo.

I found that there is a company_logos.ftl in which I can read


<#– Table of the images found in a folder under Company Home called "Company Logos" –>
<#– Shows each image found as inline content –>
<table>
   <#list companyhome.children as child>
      <#if child.isContainer && child.name = "Company Logos">
         <#list child.children as image>
            <#switch image.mimetype>
              <#case "image/jpeg">
              <#case "image/gif">
              <#case "image/png">
                  <tr>
                     <td><img src="/alfresco${image.url}"></td>
                  </tr>
                  <#break>
               <#default>
            </#switch>
         </#list>
      </#if>
   </#list>
</table>


Where can I find this ftl under the UI of alfresco? and this directory Company logos have to be create ?

thanks
