CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Just curious if there is a way to add other things (besides the items you can turn on and off in display preferences) to the contact dashboard? Perhaps a way users can see donations to their PCP pages? I have the general idea of some ways to generate the information, but was hoping for a point in the right direction as to how to get the info on the actual dashboard...

Thank you, I am now learning how to use hooks in Joomla, I've downloaded the sample plugin (tab rename) and that works no problem, but can not get the dashboard hook sample to work.

function joomla_civicrm_dashboard( $contactID, &$contentPlacement ) {
    // REPLACE Activity Listing with custom content
    $contentPlacement = 3;
    return array( 'Custom Content' => "Here is some custom content: $contactID",
                  'Custom Table' => "
<table>
<tr><th>Contact Name</th><th>Date</th></tr>
<tr><td>Foo</td><td>Bar</td></tr>
<tr><td>Goo</td><td>Tar</td></tr>
</table>
",
                  );
}

Can you tell me what I am missing? )I placed the above code in the same php file of the tab plugin, for testing purposes, so I don't think I have the plugin set up incorrectly.)
