Is there any plan or an exsisting way to display the Dashboard results in an unordered or orderedlist?

If I edit a Dashboard template, it will just repeat the html for each record, which is undesirable:

<ol>
     <li>Record1</li>
</ol>
<ol>
     <li>Record2</li>
</ol>

This seems like very basic functionality. I tried to bypass this using the Reporting module, but obviously you cannot do proper download tracking if you use that module.

Ideas?

Thanks!

Steve, thanks for the prompt reply.

Unfortunately, it didn't quite work as expected.

I added the <ol> and </ol> to to the Repository Dashboard header and footer respectively. And it did add the OL to the module. However, since the Repository Dashboard uses an ASP Datagrid to display the records, it wraps the OL around a table.

Here is the sample output:

<span class="Normal">
<ol>
  </span>
  <div id="dnn_ctr376_ModuleContent" class="Repository DashboardContent">
    <table id="dnn_ctr376_RepositoryDashboard_DashTable" class="normal" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" style="border-width:0px;width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;">
      <tr valign="top" style="width:100%;">
        <td align="left" valign="top" style="width:100%;"><table cellspacing="0" rules="all" border="0" id="dnn_ctr376_RepositoryDashboard_lstObjects" style="border-width:0px;width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-collapse: separate;">
            <tr class="normal">
              <td>&nbsp;</td>
            </tr>
            <tr class="normal">
              <td><li><a id="dnn_ctr376_RepositoryDashboard_lstObjects_ctl02_hypDownload" class="normal" href=" __doPostBack('dnn$ctr376$RepositoryDashboard$lstObjects$ctl02$hypDownload','')">File 2</a>: <span class="breadcrumb">3/11/2010</span></li></td>
            </tr>
            <tr class="normal">
              <td><li><a id="dnn_ctr376_RepositoryDashboard_lstObjects_ctl03_hypDownload" class="normal" href=" __doPostBack('dnn$ctr376$RepositoryDashboard$lstObjects$ctl03$hypDownload','')">File 1</a>: <span class="breadcrumb">3/11/2010</span></li></td>
            </tr>
          </table></td>
      </tr>
    </table>
  </div>
  <span class="Normal">
</ol>
</span>

I am using "dashboard.latest" under default as the template, and I have edited the template to only include the following:

<li>[FILENAME]: [DATE]</li>

This is actually what I expected to happen when I edited the module header and footer, because the repository isn't only spitting out a containing div with the markup from the dashboard template, but rather the table markup from the DataGrid.

Any other ideas?

Just to add an example of how I think the repository dashboard should handle record displays, I love the way Active Forums allows you template their "What's New Content."

They give you a true header and footer and template area. And a listing of the available tokens in the module. It was super easy for me to configure the "What's new template to my liking in Active Forums, meanwhile I am struggling with the table output of the Repository module that does not remotely match the Active Forums display with all the muddled tables.
