This plugin fills that need by creating a new admin page very similiar to the new sidebar widget manager.<\/p>\n\n<p>It also makes it so that both widget order and widget options are stored on a per-user basis rather than everyone sharing a common configuration. Great for those multi-user blogs.<\/p>\n\n<p>Via this plugin's settings page, you can also choose a default dashboard for users without a customized dashboard of their own and disable non-admins from customizing their dashboard effectively forcing all non-admins to see the dashboard of your choosing.<\/p>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<h3>Updgrading From A Previous Version<\/h3>\n\n<p>To upgrade from a previous version of this plugin, delete the entire folder and files from the previous version of the plugin and then follow the installation instructions below.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Installing The Plugin<\/h3>\n\n<p>Extract all files from the ZIP file, making sure to keep the file structure intact, and then upload it to <code>\/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n<p>This should result in the following file structure:<\/p>\n\n<pre><code>- wp-content\n    - plugins\n        - dashboard-widget-manager\n            | dashboard-widget-manager.php\n            | readme.txt\n            | screenshot-1.png\n            | screenshot-2.png\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n<p>Then just visit your admin area and activate the plugin.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>See Also:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/codex.wordpress.org\/Managing_Plugins#Installing_Plugins\">\"Installing Plugins\" article on the WP Codex<\/a><\/p>\n\n<h3>Using The Plugin<\/h3>\n\n<p>Visit the new admin page. It's titled \"Widgets\" and is available from your dashboard page.<\/p>\n\n<p>You can find the admin-only settings page at Settings -&gt; Dashboard Widgets.<\/p>\n\n<!--section=faq-->\n<dl>\n<dt>Does this plugin support other languages?<\/dt>\n<dd><p>Yes, it does. See the <a href=\"http:\/\/codex.wordpress.org\/Translating_WordPress\">WordPress Codex<\/a> for details on how to make a translation file. Then just place the translation file, named <code>dashwidman-[value in wp-config].mo<\/code>, into the plugin's folder.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt>I love your plugin! Can I donate to you?<\/dt>\n<dd><p>Sure! I do this in my free time and I appreciate all donations that I get. It makes me want to continue to update this plugin. You can find more details on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.viper007bond.com\/donate\/\">my donate page<\/a>.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n<!--section=changelog-->\n<p><strong>Version 1.3.1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Add compatiblity for WordPress 2.6.x by loading the widgets stylesheet.

When one user saved, it'd erase the other users' orders.<\/li>\n<li>Fixed bug that didn't allow for no widgets to be displayed on the dashboard. Thanks to <a href=\"http:\/\/kservik.com\/\">Kimmono<\/a> for pointing this out.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><strong>Version 1.2.0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Store dashboard widgets options on a per-user basis. Now you and all of your fellow administrators can have seperate widget options. Non-administrators will see the configuration of the last person to update. This how WordPress does it on it's own and I couldn't think of a better solution.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><strong>Version 1.1.0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Store dashboard widgets order on a per-user basis.<\/li>\n<li>Make the sidebar widget count on the dashboard accurate (it was combining the sidebar and dashboard widget counts).
