Hi!

A while back we made a custom widget on a couple of dw9 solutions, super happy about that.

Now we would also like to make something similar for our dw8 customers, however i know that widgets are not an option in dw8 from reading the docs.

Are there any other way to customize the backend frontpage with "widgets", some html or anything on dw8 solutions 8.9.2.7 and up?

Hi Thomas

I think there is a "News" box on the welcome page. That is an iframe with a link to a page on another server. Somewhere in Management Center in DW8, you can change that link (the same place you change the Partner name etc.) There you can add a link to a local page that will show some information, or if you are very creative, a piece of javascript that will hijack the entire welcome screen by doing something like parent.location ="/mycustomDashboard.aspx"
