Widgets on dashboard

Michael Dance

<p>Sick of the “Right Now” dashboard widget not showing useful information about your site? “Right Now Reloaded” solves that.</p>
<p>The default Right Now widget shows only information on posts, pages, categories, tags, widgets, and comments. That’s great if you’re running a standard blog, but what if you don’t use comments? What if you have a bunch of custom post types?</p>
<p>That’s where Right Now Reloaded comes in. It displays an accurate snapshot of your site: all your public post types and taxonomies, plus active plugins, registered users, links, widgets, and menus, all ordered by importance. Don’t use one of those? It won’t show up.</p>
<p>Some extra notes:</p>
<ul>
<li>No configuration required</li>
<li>Translation-ready</li>
<li>Strict permissions – users only see what they should be able to see</li>
<li>Easily customizable with dynamic CSS classes and IDs</li>
<li>Retains the <code>right_now_table_end</code>, <code>rightnow_end</code>, and <code>activity_box_end</code> hooks so that other plugins can still hook into the widget</li>
</ul>
