After i created Halink to make it possible to seperate pages in single dashboards there was 1 other think i would like:
seperate files for every widget i make and then a simple nice to read page to connect the widgets.
because of the fact that hadashboard is written in a language that i dont know (yet) it took me a little while.
but i got the job done.
you can save a widget like this:
<div data-id="your_entity" data-view="Haswitch" data-icon="lightbulb-o" data-title="Livingroom" data-title2="corner" data-bgcolor="#FFDD55"></div>
i saved it with the same name as my entity_id and then .erb so like switch.livingroom_corner.erb
after you have saved your widgets like that you can make your dashboard look like this:
<div class="gridster"> <!--test dashboard-->
<ul>
<li data-row="1" data-col="1" data-sizex="2" data-sizey="1"><%= erb :"switch.hbank" %></li>
<li data-row="2" data-col="1" data-sizex="1" data-sizey="1"><%= erb :"input_boolean.lights%></li>
<li data-row="2" data-col="2" data-sizex="1" data-sizey="1"><%= erb :"sensor.temperature" %></li>
<li data-row="3" data-col="1" data-sizex="1" data-sizey="1"><%= erb :"page.kitchen" %></li>
<li data-row="3" data-col="2" data-sizex="1" data-sizey="1"><%= erb :"page.hallway" %></li>
</ul>
</div>
the big advantages:
- you get a clean view from what you are doing.
- you can created a lot of new dashboards very fast without thinking how to add a widget.
