Hi,
1. I set the widget order like so but don't see the impact on new site dashboards:
// change the order of the widgets here
$dashboard_widgets_order_left_column[] = 'dashboard_right_now';
$dashboard_widgets_order_left_column[] = 'dashboard_recent_comments';
$dashboard_widgets_order_left_column[] = 'dashboard_recent_drafts';
$dashboard_widgets_order_left_column[] = 'dashboard_incoming_links';
$dashboard_widgets_order_left_column[] = 'dashboard_plugins';
$dashboard_widgets_order_left_column[] = 'dashboard_quick_press';
2. Also the comments in dashboard-widgets-order.php indicate I can change the $dashboard_widgets_order_hash so that all users, not jstu new ones will see the new order. What do I change the hash to?

I don't understand this change from "q" to "p". I made the change and it worked fine. Then I changed the order and once again it remained unchanged. Do I have to change the "p" to "o" or maybe back to "q"?
I changed it back to "q" and I got the new order. So now I know my p's and q's.
Just checking if it was eventually resolved in another thread? Or by yourself separately to us? Or by us over email with you? Or using our live support?
If so, no need to reply, that's great news.
If not, could you let us know by re-opening this topic, and we'll get onto it and helping you out asap!
For the most part it was resolved, just s couple of minor things left over.
1. I think I can just alternate between "p" and "q" to publish the new posts so this is ok.
2. However, I do not understand what the syntax would be for three columns or four columns when it currently uses works like "left" and "right" to refer to two columns.

Hi Larry,
I believe the hash should be changed to the following:
$dashboard_widgets_order_hash = 'm9c0u203b7u0338u10zxnm0p';And that would be per this thread:
http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/custom-content-dashboard-with-dashboard-widget-order
Perhaps that'll sort the issue with the change not being noticed, could you give that a try?
Thanks,
David

Hi,
One more thing, what is the syntax if there are 3 or for columns on the dashboard?
$dashboard_widgets_order_left_column[]

Hiya Larry,
On your second point - that's just because that's the way WordPress itself describes them to be honest.
We're just using the same terminology in the plugin to keep from confusing anything!
Cheers,

Hi,
OK, and when the options are selected for 3 or 4 columns (not just 2), what are the middle columns called?
I can't see these variables in the html. How I find out what Wordpress calls them?

Hi Larry,
I don't have great experience customising the admin so I can't remember exactly but some I think are referred to as 'side' and others are 'normal'.
You should be able to take a look at the hooks and filters called in the dashboard to get them all.
