Welcome Page Customisation QuestionYour last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

Hi,

I am trying to add my own custom smartparts to the Welcome screen and have them visible the first time a user logs in. I cannot find a property to set/code to update to force this. The "out of the box" smartparts that sit on the welcome screen all load correctly on first log in. For my custom ones the user has to go to "Add Content" etc to pick my new smartparts. I really need them to be visible straight away without the need for user interaction. Has anybody done this?

Thanks!
Nick

Figured it out in the end - it appears there is some hardcoded functionality to show the out of the box smartparts. It all stems from a javascript array on welcome.aspx so luckily this can be easily manipulated through javascript.

Cheers,
Nick

Hi Nick,


Could you please explain in detail how to customize the Welcome smart part in welcome page. I want to replace the "Welcome" smart part with new smart part that contains the updates in the panel. Please help.


Thanks in advance.


Regards, Ram.

Not sure if this helps, but rather than create a new smart part, I changed the welcom smart part and just added a bunch of lines to the code that reference new lines in the introtext xml doc.


This way I could show a manager here how to update the xml file to change the text without haveing to recreate the code or do a build every time they wanted to change the text.

Russel, Even if i disable the welcome page in sourcecode or in App Architect it doesnt have any impact on it. its still shows the welcome page., i couldnt identify from where the welcome smart part is referred.

The smartparts associated with the welcome page is called dashboard in the model.  Not sure how to turn of the entire page, but all of the smart parts including introtext is in the dashboard directory under smartparts in the model.

Russell, i just want to replace the static content in the welcome smart part with a text box & button. On click of the button the contents entered in the textbox will be saved to the DB. I have created the new smart part and registered the same in Welcome.aspx page in LoadSmartpart() method.


RegisterSmartPart("DashboardWorkspace", "","","~/SmartParts/Dashboard/SalesLogixUpdate.ascx", "SalesLogixUpdate",GetResource("SalesLogixUpdate.Title"),GetResource("SalesLogixUpdate.Description"),null);


But still the smart part doesnt show up in the dashboard page.

You should never edit the page directly. In AA you make the change adding your smartpart and then deploy the changes
