I just started using Suite Dash as my Client Portal at the start of this year. I also just created a board that I am using in my website redesign (launching hopefully in the next couple of weeks). However, through the widget I was also able to embed the board in a Suite Dash Portal Page and add that to the menu of my Client Portal. Now, when my Client logs on they can see the community board (and hopefully interact with it) instead of having to go to my site. This definitely will encourage me to write more in the board as now I have a much larger audience (as my clients likely don't go back to my main site once they are already clients). For now, the board opens in a new tab (using my custom domain) with the widget - hoping soon they will integrate the whole board experience into it (and would love login integration)! I must say though, this was a pleasant surprise to be able to do - so thankful that both PeerBoard and SuiteDash have the capabilities in their systems to let me do this!
Here are the steps (by request) for those that would like them:
- First you create a "Portal Page" in your Admin Account (I called it "Community")
- Next, you need to actually layout the page. I had my Page settings set for all logged in users to see (setting is at the top of the layout page), and for it to be hidden in the Dynamic Menu Directory (that way it wouldn't be in the menu twice - this setting is at the bottom of the layout page near the "save" button). ***IMPORTANT*** You need to use the Article layout to build the page itself. I did an intro paragraph, then switching to the code view < >, I pasted the PeerBoard Widget code underneath my paragraph. ***IMPORTANT*** When you switch back to normal view you won't see the PeerBoard yet as the page builder doesn't display JavaScript (this threw me for a few minutes as I thought it wasn't working initially).
- I saved that Portal Page, then went over to my Custom Menus. I added in a Menu Item, chose "Portal Page" then Chose "Community" as the Page and the link. I gave the menu item the same name "Community". I hit save, and **BAM! **- Peerboard integrated in SuiteDash!
(these steps are going from memory, so please test and if I missed something I am happy to go back and retrace things and correct these steps).
I hope this helps!
