dashboard pages are basically just "single" pages, with the controller and view stored under the dashboard directory, like:

/controllers/dashboard/my_dashboard_page.php

/singles_pages/dashboard/my_dashboard_page.php

The controller above is optional. After creating the page, you have to register it, so that the system knows that it exists. Do this by going to your dashboard->page & themes->single pages, then scroll to the very bottom, and enter the pages path. In this example the path would be /dashboard/my_dashboard_page/

More information on single pages should be available in the help section of this site.

Thanks, Tony. So if I create a package with a dashboard page, does it require user intervention to "register" it, or does that automatically happen when the package is installed?

I guess I'll just have to tinker.

no, you can register a single page programatically too. have a look within the /concrete/controllers/install.php controller to see some examples of that. You should see how it installs all the other dashboard pages there too.

This topic helped me after 6 years!

Thanks!
