Can someone please give some help on where to put .png files if you want them to appear in dashlets? For example, I want a .png file to appear on the My Activities dashlet how would I do that? Regards mcchapman
Static files like images, CSS, and client-side JavaScript go in the root of a web application, typically in a directory that keeps your stuff separate from Alfresco's. For example, you might choose to put an image in $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/share/extension/images/foo.png.
Putting the image in that folder won't make it magically appear in any dashlet. You'll have to add an image reference to that dashlet's markup to make that happen. The right way to do that is to extend the web script that creates the dashlet.
To do that for "My Activities", you need to find the web script, which happens to be in:
If you are using Alfresco 4 and you need to find some other web script for a given dashlet, consider using Surf Bug, which is available at http://localhost:8080/share/service/index.
Now you need to copy that directory structure into Share's web-extension directory to keep your override separate from Alfresco's. So you'd create the following directory structure:
The markup used to create that dashlet lives in my-activities.get.html.ftl so copy that file from the out-of-the-box location into the new web-extension structure you just created.
Now edit the file to add your image reference, then save.
