I seem to remember reading merlinofchaos warning that this wouldn't work. Is this correct?

HI Ramdak

Dashboards can indeed be specified as a front page replacement by entering the mode number of your created dashboard, as in node/4 for example. However, you will have a problem with the Title in as much as you will have trouble getting rid of it. This is the exact reason I won't be using the dashboard module per se.....

Cheers

Thanks for the confirmation and the tip!

I think if you want your own titles, you can use php snippets to create blocks and then call that block using dashboard.

Or, may be you want no titles at all?

It is not so much the title of the dashboard content, but the title of the dashboard itself. As a dashboard is a node, it is required by Drupal to have a title. Subsequently Drupal puts that title on the title bar of the browser and displays it above the dashboard itself. I myself have not found an effective way of stopping the display of *only* the dashboard title and getting Drupal to stop displaying the title in the browser would require hacking. Shame really as I really like the conecpt of the dashboard module....
