Dashboard

utility to register a dashboard to be used when creating the main project dashboard. This dashboard needs to be a DashboardGroup

Note

Note that the application dashboard is registered via a different mechanism, i.e.: the registration of admin_tools. That register function needs a DashboardAppIndex class. Both are registered within app’dashboars.py that will be read only if urs.py starts an autodiscovery:

import admin_tools.dashboard admin_tools.dashboard.autodiscover()

registry

Info are kept in a dict named registry than can be accessed to loop on registered applications:

from jmb.core.adm import dashboard
for appname, dash in dashboard.registry.iteritems():
    ...

The whole dahboard machinery is fired from the variables:

ADMIN_TOOLS_DASHMOARD

whose default is set as ../dashboard.JumboDashboard by jmb-start skel

ADMIN_TOOLS_MENU

whose default is set as ../menu.JumboMenu by jmb-start skel

Note

the menu is triggered from a templatetag withing admin/base_site.html

It’s up to aplication authors to correctly set it up, so that out default dashboard.py, present in out Skeleton will find and display it.
