Edit the "dashboard" in MODx Revo 2.1.3

Hi all,

Anyone know if it's possible to edit the "dashboard" in Revo 2.1.3? I know dashboards are only available in 2.2.0+...but is there maybe some kind of form customization for earlier Revos that can do the same thing?

I don't know what term to use so I can't Google anything without just coming up with information for MODx Dashboards for 2.20+.

Thanks for your time!

I don't have 2.1.3, but I do have 2.1.5, which is probably close enough for this purpose.

The file you're looking for is /manager/templates/default/welcome.tpl

This is best done by changing the manager theme. Duplicate the entire "default" directory in /manager/templates/, edit the welcome.tpl file, then in the System Settings specify your new manger template directory (/manager/templates/mytheme/ would be "mytheme") for the manager_theme setting instead of "default".

Thanks Sottwell.

I was hoping for a simpler way but this doesn't sound too difficult.

We'll suggest to our client that we upgrade their MODx.

In case the above wasn't too clear:

1. Duplicate the entire /manager/templates/default/ folder; name your duplicate whatever you like (for example "mytheme").

2. In the System Settings, find the manager_theme setting and change it to "mytheme".

3. Edit the welcome.tpl file. The default is a Smarty-based template; yours doesn't have to be if you don't want it to.
