How to change the dashlet name in alfresco community v5.0.0?

Question

I am unable to change the dashlet title names. In the customize dashboard page there is an option to only choose among the predefined dashlets. How do we add a custom dashlet or change the name of the dashlets available.

Answer 1

You can not change Name of dashlet directly without changing code.If you want to change name of existing dashlet you need to override that dashlet.

For creating new dashlet I have have some references which are as below.

Answer 2

I found out a way to do it.

We need to change the header in the property files under the folder '\tomcat\webapps\share\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\site-webscripts\org\alfresco\components\dashlets\'

for ex: to change the title of the image preview dashlet, we need to change the header in imagesummary.get.properties file.
