## Description

**cubicFUSION Admin Enhancer** is a free administration toolbox, that is work in
progress.
 The plugin is used to centralise things I love & need when sending out
a finished website or project. I am sure it can help others aswell.

#### General Features

 * Centralize useful admin tweaks & enhancements.
 * **SHORTCODES**: The first addition to the toolbox is Shortcodes. All dashboard
   widgets are converted to simple shortcodes. You can use those shortcodes within
   Elementor Pro or any other page builder that allows you to create custom admin
   dashboards. This makes it easy to build white-label dashboards, while still reusing
   all those nice dashboard widgets 🙂
    Works perfectly with [Dashboard Welcome for Elementor or [Dashboard Welcome for Beaver Builder](https://wordpress.org/plugins/dashboard-welcome-for-beaver-builder/)
 * **DASHBOARD GUTENBERG / DASHBOARD TEMPLATES**: This Addon allows you to build
   a Dashboard with Gutenberg. You can create a new Dashboard under ‘Dashboard Templates’
   and set a default template below. I will be extending this to allow different
   templates for different roles / groups. This release also includes a Gutenberg
   block for the shortcodes.
 * **ADMIN TOOLBAR**: This Addon allows you to tweak the admin toolbar and footer.
 * More to come …

#### Localization

 * English
 * German

### Additional Info

**Idea Behind / Philosophy:** cubicFUSION is my personal playground. I planned to
make many of my projects public, but time is limited and running customer projects
always a priority.

I am still doing a big cleanup of my toolset and will see what I can actually share
or reuse. Some of these might be useful, inspiration or just an archive of broken
ideas 😉

Enjoy!
