When you or your team log into your ContentBox site, you see your ContentBox Dashboard. You can see recent content, recent comments, recent news, some data snapshots… but you can also quickly customize this to help your team communicate. It is as easy as changing a few ContentBox admin settings.
Click on System > Settings and then click on Admin Options.
You can change the Title / Welcome that shows up on the dashboard.
You can update the Dashboard message, so when everyone logs in, they're reminded of some of your rules, regulations, or maybe a holiday message. As seen above:
One of the nice touches I think, is you can update the NEWS RSS feed. This allows you to add some humor to your day, by adding something like Dilbert's RSS feed… or maybe you can use an aggregator to follow what is happening in the CFML world, or maybe some blogs which you need to read and then update your audience.
You can set the number of items to show up in your dashboard, by type. Set the number for each of the following:
News Feed Count
Recent Entries Count
Recent Pages Count
Recent Content Store Count
Recent Comments Count
Recent Logins Count
These default to 10 when first installing ContentBox
You also have control of your Website paging, on the front end, for blog posts, as well as content in the back end of your website.
