UI: Widgets are too wide in dashboard:"goals" and "advanced" table view should be disabled in the dashboard

[matt]

In the dashboard, currently the icons to show the "goal table" and the "advanced table" are shown; however when clicked, the table tries to display 5+ columns but there is not enough space, hence dashboard looks bad.

• disable icon for "advanced" and "goal" view in dashboard
• make sure all core widgets only have two columns. For example, the Actions widget should only show two columns; it currently shows "label, pageviews, unique pageviews" but could be "label, pageviews"

Optional: a link "view full report" could be displayed at the bottom of the widget, the link would open in ajax the report containing this widget; this requires:

• widget to know which report they appear on
• set the anchor the right widget in the report, in case the widget appears below the fold

A similar visual problem (from #649) can be created when the user increases the text size in the browser.

What about showing this "oversized" widgets in a dialog with full size? This dialog could be opened on doubleclick (or with a new fullsize-icon or so).

Here a small example how this could be done with a litte jquery code:

$('.col div.sortable').bind('dblclick', function(){
	var mydialog = $(this);
	mydialog.before('<div id="placeholder"> </div>');
	mydialog.dialog({
		title: '',
		bgiframe: true,
		modal: true,
		width: 'auto',
		position: ['center', 'center'],
		resizable: true,
		autoOpen: true,
		close: function(event, ui) {
			mydialog.dialog("destroy");
			$('#placeholder').replaceWith(mydialog);
			mydialog.removeAttr('style');
		}
	});
});

(just execute in firebug to test)

Your proposal is interesting! Maybe we could add a 'full screen' icon next to the close icon in the widget header bar to open this view? this would be a good compromise. thoughts?

Ok... I'm nearly done with this task, but I need the icon to finish it. Matt, could you attach or send me an icon I can use. thx

[matt]

ouch sorry I don't have this in hand, can you make up something very light (like the close button) based on the full screen icon used in country map? if you need help with this, please send me an email :)
