Guidelines
dashboard_add_widgetaccepts an array of widget IDs — do not invent custom IDs- Only use IDs from the list above; unrecognised IDs are silently ignored
- After adding widgets, navigate the user to their dashboard so they can see the changes
- When removing widgets, use
dashboard_get_layoutto find current positions, thendashboard_save_layoutwith the widget removed from the array - Widget position (
x,y) uses a 12-column grid; width (w) and height (h) are in grid units
