TYPO3 Extension `custom_dashboard_widgets`
==========================================

[](#typo3-extension-custom_dashboard_widgets)

1. Introduction
---------------

[](#1-introduction)

This extension adds a set of widgets for the new dashboard module, available since TYPO3 v10.3.

It however only works with TYPO3 v10.4 and higher as the widget registration was [reworked](https://review.typo3.org/c/Packages/TYPO3.CMS/+/63563) in this release.

**Background**

This extensions evolves from [t3security\_news\_widget](https://github.com/o-ba/t3security_news_widget) which is outdated as it uses the old way to register widgets and was however already implemented as a [core](https://github.com/TYPO3/TYPO3.CMS) widget with this [patch](https://review.typo3.org/c/Packages/TYPO3.CMS/+/63397).

2. Installation
---------------

[](#2-installation)

#### Installation with Composer

[](#installation-with-composer)

If you are using a composer based TYPO3 project just run `composer require o-ba/custom_dashboard_widgets`.

#### Installation from TER (TYPO3 Extension Repository)

[](#installation-from-ter-typo3-extension-repository)

You can download and install the extension in the extension manager module or download the ZIP file from [typo3.org](https://extensions.typo3.org/extension/custom_dashboard_widgets)and upload it in the extension manager module.

**First steps**

After the installation switch to the dashboard module.

If you have not set any dashboard yet, TYPO3 will create two dashboards automatically, which are defined in the presets. The default dashboard, shipped by core and the custom dashboard including all custom widgets from this extension.

If you have already created some dashboards, simply create a new one by clicking the `+` button in the dashboard select tab bar and select `Custom dashboard.` in the wizard. This will create the same dashboard mentioned before with all widgets from this extension.

You can also add some custom widgets to already existing dashboards. This is explained in detail in the [official documentation](https://docs.typo3.org/c/typo3/cms-dashboard/master/en-us/).

3. Further notice
-----------------

[](#3-further-notice)

- adding custom widgets (including custom templates, custom stylesheets, ...)
- adding custom data providers,
- adding custom button providers,
- extending core API classes,
- adding custom widget groups,

- and some more ...

You can find more information in the [official documentation](https://docs.typo3.org/c/typo3/cms-dashboard/master/en-us/).
