Client-Area Dashboard: Quick Links For Widgets

[serge]

In the dashboard when you have a lot of invoices, services,etc, dashboard page can be LONG., and not all customers will scroll down so much.

 

Each widget can display each up to 20 lines by widget's pages., so if you have in this order

 

Widget 1: Invoices (20 lines)

Widget 2: Services (20 lines

Widget 3: Transactions (20 lines)

Widget 3: Supports (20 lines)

 

That do mean, "Transaction" is starting at +40 lines, and not all customers will presume it's bellow & will scroll down so much.

 

So that why I created quick links for widgets at top & at bottom of dashboard, see pictures.

 

Here the methods:

-----------------------

 

in     /app/views/client/YOUR-THEME/client_main.pdt

just after:

<div class="col-md-9 right_content">

Add:

              <a name="top"></a>
             
                |  <a href="<?php echo $this->Html->safe($this->client_uri . "#services");?>">Services</a> |
              <a href="<?php echo $this->Html->safe($this->client_uri . "#transactions");?>">Transactions</a> |
              <a href="<?php echo $this->Html->safe($this->client_uri . "#tickets");?>">Tickets</a> |  
    <br>
    <br>



At the end of file

just after:

?>


Add:

   <center>
               | <a href="<?php echo $this->Html->safe($this->client_uri . "#top");?>">Back to Top</a> |

Or you can cut down the number of items per line which is easier: /config/blesta.php

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Pagination
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Number of results to display per page
Configure::set("Blesta.results_per_page", 20);

Is there a way to do this for just client side? if you change this it also changes admin results?

[serge]

My hack is only on client area dashboard.

 

by the way see file path from my above hack :  /app/views/client/YOUR-THEME/

 

as you see, there is "client" folder in path
