TranslateSpiceworks 5.0 additional plugin architecture
Spiceworks 5.0 is set to be HUGE with some major new features being added, but there are also some smaller features in the background being added to help slim down the amount of feature requests and help keep user’s happy.
One of the things they are adding is the ability to add plugins to the User Portal this has been kick started with the ability to add the Ticket Gauge to the user portal with the “User Portal Ticket Gauge” plugin.
This allows your users to quickly see how many tickets you have to work on and will help give them an idea of how busy you are.
Once you have added the plugin to the portal, as with any widget you can move it around and even edit the points for when it changes yellow and red.
When Spiceworks 5.0 is fully release we will hopefully see more people create some nice widgets / plugins for the portal. There are already a lot of people using iFrames to add things like weather, news and other bits and bobs, its going to be a very useful feature and we expect to see some awesome new creations.
