If no memcache servers are configured, nothing happens.

To enable, simply add:

from dashboardmods import get_varnish_dash_modules

at the top of the page and in the __init__ method add:

self.children.extend(get_varnish_dash_modules())

If no Varnish servers are configured, nothing happens.

RSSDashboardModule

This is a model that allows the dynamic input of RSS feeds to appear as a DashboardModule.

To enable, add dashboardmods to your INSTALLED_APPS and ./manage.py syncdb.

Then add:

from dashboardmods import get_rss_dash_modules

at the top of the page and in the __init__ method add:

self.children.extend(get_rss_dash_modules())

If no RSSDashboardModule records are entered, nothing happens. As soon as one is entered, the DashboardModule is immediately available.
