-> See issue: nextcloud/notes#487
Reacted by mcaapcop, moeenio and Florian- Show recent activity
- Show cards from the deck app that are over or near due date
Reacted by Élia „KopfKrieg“, mcaapcop, brtptrs and moeenioWow, wow, calm down !
Remember that widgets should be included in their relative apps, not in the Dashboard app !
For example, the list of recent files should be included in nextcloud/activity, but I like the Share options, however, it also means to open a right panel (which can be used by other widgets, like a quick-search to display results)@juliushaertl : Can we work together on a widget for Deck, like I am providing a simple empty widget and you fill it ?
Reacted by René Gieling, Luca Buoncristiani, MarkyMark_Qld and moeenioReacted by Matthijs BerendsI guess we can keep this anyway just to have an overview issue for what integration might make sense.
@daita sure, just drop me a pull request for the empty widget and I'll add the details ;)
Reacted by John Molakvoæ and moeenioReacted by moeenio@daita I know. ;) It’s not about the implementation detail but to have a design specification. We need to start with the user perspective of what people would need, instead of focusing on the technical side.
Reacted by Garth Johnson, Mr. T., brtptrs and moeenio- I will edit your messages to add checkbox
Reacted by Jan C. Borchardt@juliushaertl : made 2 empty widgets: nextcloud/deck#540 - you should pull the last edit on the dashboard (2fb9147)

It could be interesting to have the "most used" something in the last period or overall.
For example:
- files with most changes in the last three months / overall
- the tags used more often in the last three months / overall
- songs listened more often in the last three months / overall
- ...
"Three months" is just a proposal for "recently". No idea if there is a conventional value for it
I think that it could be useful for a design specification to consider the idea of "used more often overall / in a period"
how about enabling a feature that has a basic wysiwyg feel, that people can create their own widget with links to either their most used files, or to open any feature they have in nextcloud, sort of like "create a Dashboard Shortcut" type deal
Reacted by moeenioReacted by mcaapcopWe worked on two additional Tasks sections for the old Dashboard (based on stable14 branch).
I published the code in our fork repo as a new branch named 'tasks_support'.
https://github.com/tuxedocomputers/dashboard/tree/tasks_supportIf someone want to reuse the code for a new Dashboard widget, just use it.
- latest announcement
- generate a set of widgets as admin as default for the users
Reacted by moeenioI recommend looking at iFrames for a quick win... I've created a proof-of-concept flexible reporting dashboard widgets which include 9 iFrame widgets : https://youtu.be/3TzOXOcAV2I
@MarkPartlett nice video... it´s possible to install this or you can share the source code?
No idea about the technical solution.
What you (@MarkPartlett ) show is very interesting, it would be a huge added value (in my humble opinion) that the graphical representations (gauge, barplot, ...) could use Nextcoud internal data.
For example a barplot showing the frequence of the main tags, or the number of email per contact...I'm working on making it a stand alone app using the dashboard app to display the widgets. The next stage is the request/transform to populate the JSON database records that control the java-script components within the widgets. https://github.com/MarkPartlett/dashboardcharts is the code...
I wish a kind of Windirstat or jdiskreport to get an overview about the Disk usage of Users (admin) and my own directories.
It would be nice to change this stat to show most transferred data on the same directory based overview instead.
Hi everyone,
I am a new user of Nextcloud. I just installed Dashboard on NC but there are only 3 widgets ?!
What about calendar events/new mails etc. as jancborchardt said ?I am looking for a version of dashborad with all these widgets. Someone can help me please ?
Regards
Remember that widgets should be included in their relative apps, not in the Dashboard app !
@steeve971 this means that this dashboard app only works as a culmination - you need to ask the developer of the needed apps to make widgets (or ideally even contribute to one 🙂 ). Some of them are already linked in this thread.
For example i just asked the maintainer of the notes app to create the widgets we talked about here in nextcloud/notes#487
Hi i'm a new Nextcloud user too and was looking at
https://github.com/markpartlett/dashboardchartsLooks already fine but i was expecting dynamic ones or examples how to make that. @steeve971 something you're looking for too?
Hi. Everyone, I am looking for widgets : last mails, calendar events, pendind tasks, announcements and contacts...
I am not familiair with coding or nextcloud. if needed, I am ready to pay a freelance to do that. It's for my small business. The dashboard is a good idea but after login, you don't have a large view on what's going on your nextcloud. it's pity. When an employee login, he must have directly a dashboard.
This is what I am expecting for.
Any ideas ? developer?
Best regardsReacted by Hans Martin Galliker@steeve971 , @Botrap , have a look at nextcloud/server#20930
As you can see:- This app will be discontinued (or it will find new maintainers)
- a new dashboard is already developed (but it could have another name)
- the new "dashboard" should provide the functionalities that @steeve971 is describing
- there is a strong possibility that this new "dashboard" will become the landing screen for the users
- the interactive graphs will be outside this new "dashboard" but they could still live if @MarkPartlett will find a technical solution
Reacted by Alexander Dahl and MannshochWith the new Dashboard which will come with Nextcloud 20, most of these widgets are actually implemented – I checked them off above. And lots of others are in development or have their own relevant issue, like:
- Analytics NC20: Dashboard Widget Rello/analytics#61
- Social Dashboard widget for notifications AlohaSocial/social#983
- Bookmarks Add dashboard widget bookmarks#869
- Notes Notes widget for new dashboard notes#587
- News RSS Dashboard Widgets news#788
- Rainloop NC20 - Will Rainloop support dashboard? pierre-alain-b/rainloop-nextcloud#208
- Probably more that I missed. :)
The current widgets seem playful, but not particularly useful. There’s:
How about these instead:
Also we should then have a better default layout to have a nicer first run experience.
More input @nextcloud/designers?
