If that area supproted HTML links you could do a lot with it.

Also, the Projects list at the Dashboard is useless, with Numbered Pages instead of Alphabetically sorted it's just a waste of space.

It being there at all completely suggests AC is geared more towards small companies with few projects, and that is not very supportive of those who bought the Corporate version.

Your code to add the icons to the dashboard is missing the "g" in "get_image_url"

Other than that it works great.

Thanks.

I added a new icon and link for the Dashboard and Help. Definitely a hack but it does the job for now. Certainly not upgradeable....

 function system_handle_on_build_menu(&$menu, &$user) {
    $menu->addToGroup(array(
     new MenuItem('dashboard', lang('Dashboard'), 'http://www.esolvesolutions.com/activecollab/', get_image_url('navigation/dashboard.gif')),
      new MenuItem('help', lang('Help'), 'http://www.esolvesolutions.com/activecollab/public/index.php/projects/6/pages', get_image_url('navigation/help.gif')),
      new MenuItem('people', lang('People'), assemble_url('people'), get_image_url('navigation/people.gif')),
      new MenuItem('projects', lang('Projects'), assemble_url('projects'), get_image_url('navigation/projects.gif')),
    ), 'main');


I then added a few icons to activecollab/public/assets/images. I added a help, dashboard and new site_logo gif icon for use on the main page.

In /activecollab/activecollab/modules/system/views/dashboard/index.tpl I moved the the recent activities lines (below) BEFORE the active projects code so the recent activities appears first. This makes it easier to see what is new, rather than a list of projects, when you do to the Dashboard.

<div class="clear"></div>

  {if is_foreachable($grouped_activities)}
  <div>
    <h2 class="section_name"><span class="section_name_span">{lang}Recent Activities{/lang}</span></h2>
    <div class="section_container">
      {activities activities=$grouped_activities project_column=yes}

    </div>
  </div>
  {/if}

Please note that this change will not be upgradeable!

I would just like to add some links to common 'Team Tools'

Like Bug Tracking, Test Management, DevWiki..

Where would be the best place to add these.. as they span ALL projects..?
