supportHey there! I think this plugin with it’s simplistic design could be beneficial for my use case. The only reason I uninstalled it is because it doesn’t have the capability of using Code Snippets, unless I missed that somewhere? I’d like to be able to use a code snippet to insert the dashboard into a page, rather than it linking itself to a whole entire page. Having it this way really limits the capability of the design. Thoughts?
Do you mean a shortcode? I’ve thought about it, but I haven’t come up with a use case. Could you explain how you would want to use a shortcode to embed the dashboard in another page?
Hey Sam, oh sorry! Yes I mean shortcode. I would like to have more control utilizing elementor builder along with the dashboard. I have a sidebar and a header, along with an additional menu list at the top of the page that will be like: Projects | Update Subscription | Support | FAQs With how it’s currently set up, I could have the sidebar and header and use CSS to adjust the content, but I wouldn’t be able to easily edit anything else on the page. If that makes sense Currently I downloaded Client Portal private pages, where I am using HTML, Javascript, and CSS to create my own project dashboard that would just be updated by changing the code (I would built templates for my team). This obviously isn’t the best workflow/SOP, but it does give me more control
If I understand what you are trying to do, I think you can do it with Client Power Tools. I haven’t tested for Elementor extensively, but you can definitely use Elementor to style dashboard pages just like any other page on your site. The only exceptions are the Messages and Projects pages. For those you’d have to use CSS. It sounds like the main thing you want to do is change the placement of the menu. You could just use the Additional Pages feature of Client Power Tools to add your pages to the dashboard and menu. If that doesn’t get the result you want, you could just hide the Client Power Tools menu using CSS and just use your own menu instead. For example, this will hide the CPT menu: .customize-cpt #cpt-nav { display: none; } I would probably just use the Additional Pages feature, but if that’s not what you want, you have options.
Thanks, I’ve decided to use the plugin within an iframe. Thanks!
