I love this!

I'm using a dashboard module in my consultant's page to give me a scroll box (because the static Scroll Box Plugin didn't give me a scroll bar.)

But, no matter how I change the width parameter, my box wants to have a left-right scroll bar for just a few pixels. How do I make that go away?

I fixed the box on your ConsultantVickiBrown topic. You need to add the proper styles: contentstyle="overflow-x:hidden; overflow-y:auto; margin-right:-15px;"

Ah. Thanks.

This is great!!!

Something worth noting (does not seem to be mentioned in the documentation though to be fair I may have missed it) - if for a dashboard box title you are trying to link to another topic within the same web as where you are creating the dashboard, you still need to explicitly state the web as you would if the web is not the one you are in). If you dont, you will find that the link will be referencing TWiki web instead of the web you are working in.

A nice to have would be the ability to add icons/images to the title of a box - we have tried a number of ways with no success.

But overall a very useful add-on

Good point, thanks Seeta. I updated the add-on to document the need of Web.TopicName notation in title and button parameters.

You can use HTML in the title parameter. Look at the raw text of TWiki06x00.WebHome for an example.

That works a treat - we must have got in a mess with the quotes or something in our initial attempts and based on this assumed it was not working! Thanks Peter.

We like this add on so far - it was one of a number of reasons why we upgraded from TWiki4 to the latest version - TWiki6.

This looks like a configuration issue. See InternationalizationSupplement and ask questions in the Support web.
