Between Confluence 1.3 and 1.4, a number of operations were removed from the dashboard spacelist in the interest of providing a simpler, less threatening interface to users. Some users have asked for these options to be returned, so here's a quick patch that will allow you to put them back:
 | In Confluence 1.3, the icons would be inactive (greyed out) if they had nothing to link to – for example if there was no mail to view. This patch will not restore that behaviour: the icons will always be active. |
- Find the file called spacelist.vm in your Confluence distribution.
- Make a backup of this file (just to be safe
) - replace:
#if( $showOperations )
<td nowrap>
<div align="right">
<a href="$req.contextPath/spaces/browsespace.action?key=${space.key}"
id="spaceSummaryLink"><img src="$req.contextPath/images/icons/browse_space.gif"
