I am getting a WSOD on admin/settings/dashboard/widgets. Am working on a clean D6 install with only admin_menu, dashboard, ctools and jquery_ui installed. When I turn on php error messages this is what I get

Fatal error: Call to undefined function drupal_build_form() in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/playground/sites/all/modules/dashboard/dashboard.admin.inc on line 179

@aschiwi: install the views module and use the 6x-2.0 branch of Dashboard. Views is required and this is listed in the README.txt file.

Just as note, if you're using Views' form building stuff, you should probably use ctools' version of it, since you're already requiring CTools content types (I think?) and it's a little more mature than the Views version.

@techsoldaten: thanks for the quick support. I am using the 6x-2.0 branch. I can find no mention of Views in its README.txt and Views is not listed as a dependency either.

After installing Views I can add widgets on admin/settings/dashboard/widgets as expected. They are not showing up on /dashboard yet, but that might be my fault, I will look through the settings some more.

Views should be listed as a dependency in the README and in the info file. I will look into that and make sure they are there.

They were only added in the v2 of the module. That's what made me think you were on a v1 release.

After you have added a widget, it will appear on the widget browser. Click on the link for Add More Widgets to find them and add them to your dashboard.

I guess I found the problem. I downloaded dashboard with drush yesterday. Here's the README: http://drupalbin.com/14849 and the dashboard.info: http://drupalbin.com/14850

It looks fine in http://drupalcode.org/viewvc/drupal/contributions/modules/dashboard/READ... so I guess this was a drush issue.

Adding widgets works now as well. Thanks :)

Just for the record: neither the README.txt nor the .info contains informations about a dependency to views.
I've downloaded Version 6.x-2.0.

README.txt:

Required Modules
-------------------
- JQuery UI, Chaos Tools 

Installation
------------

dashboard.info:

package = Drupal.org
dependencies[] = jquery_ui
dependencies[] = ctools

; Information added by drupal.org packaging script on 2010-05-24

@Stefan - *sigh* that is an issue with the d.o packaging script then.

Dependencies were added to the README.txt file here: http://drupal.org/cvs?commit=370778

Dependencies were added to the info file here: http://drupal.org/cvs?commit=370732

Those both happened on Monday.

@aschiwi: yeah, those are not the right files. Here is what is in CVS for the v2 branch:

http://drupalcode.org/viewvc/drupal/contributions/modules/dashboard/READ...

http://drupalcode.org/viewvc/drupal/contributions/modules/dashboard/dash...

I love packaging scripts and all their little quirks. It will probably work tomorrow.
