I'm pretty new to Drupal, but I have succeeded in getting quite a few modules to work.

After installing, I'm simply tying a 'hello world' kind of thing.

I created a story. The story's NID is 8.
Then I created a dashboard, title: A Dashboard
Then I put this code in the "TOP:" section of the dashboard:

print dashboard_get_node(8);

When I preview, I get what is probably the right thing:

A Dashboard
This is a story.

Here is my story.

However, when I submit the change and go home, I get this:

A Dashboard
Dashboards have no teaser, sorry.

Obviously this is working for some people. What am I doing wrong?

Your home page is pulling the dashboard up as a teaser; I assume your home is the default 'node'. Unfortunately that doesn't work.

If you change your default home page to node/NID (where NID is the node id of the dashboard page) you'll get the functionality you expect.

Let me know if you have further problems.

That was it, precisely. Thanks!
