Account homepage dashboard

[eddiejaoude]

After a user logs in, they are presented with their personal dashboard which is customisable. This is accomplished by drag & drop widgets/plugins (similar to igoogle).

A new database table will have to be added to remember the user's settings, key-value pair system is probably best to achieve this, as it will present flexibility for the future.

All logged in. Cool.

So would it be fair to say that Jenkins is essentially a glorified cron
job, periodically attempting a build and reporting/tracking the status?

Regarding Jenkins ci, basically yes. We can add a lot of plugins though: documentation, code coverage, notification etc.

However, this issue, I was referring to when a user logs into the skeleton project (I prefer baseline project, but oh well, too late now), they are presented with their own dashboard that they can customise.

In the near future, I will put a demo of the project up, that will always show the latest & greatest build, which will be done as part of the Jenkins build (with a demo login to the project). That way other developers can see what the project currently does from a visual perspective.
