Since the $path_to_root variable is hardcoded as "../../" in the dashboard setup and other php scripts in the modules/dashboard folder, it is necessary to see that the correct path is used to make sure that the install_tabs() in the hooks.php file works correctly for submenu clicks. This is ensured by patching the includes/page/header.inc till a proper alternate solution is found.
Also the FA-dashboard-r4/modules/dashboard/sql/update.sql file can have the AUTO_INCREMENT=6 phrase removed in both table creation statements.
Those who have already installed the dashboard can reset the AUTO_INCREMENT counter with:
ALTER TABLE `0_dashboard_reminders` AUTO_INCREMENT=1;
The id nos 4,5 and 8 are missing in the widgets table data.
Also the readme can list some means to populate the dashboard_setup.php and reminder_setup.php script links as a widget in the setup panel besides mentioning that the module must first be installed before the theme is installed and used.
The installed_extensions.php file in the company/# folder gets populated with "active=>false," instead of "active=>1," for the dashboard_theme v2.3.15-1 entry.
