There have been a number of requests for making it easier to copy dashboards across accounts and between different emoncms installations. E.g copying an [emoncms.org](http://emoncms.org) dashboard to run on an emonpi. **tag:name reference** For sometime dashboards have used unique feedid’s for their configuration which means that a dashboard on one account cant be copied to another account because the feedid’s will be different on the second account. I’ve put together a solution to this problem providing the option to use tag:name reference for feeds in dashboards as well as feedid reference. The option to use either reference mode can be selected on the dashboard settings page: ![feedmodeconfig](https://community.openenergymonitor.org/uploads/default/original/2X/9/9f8c0d85bb1f55f44e54724774a369db220b974f.png) After switching the feedmode from feedid to tag:name, go through each widget in the dashboard and re-save its feed configuration to use the new reference mode to complete the conversion. You should then be able to copy the dashboard html following the next step to a dashboard on another account but with feeds of the same tag and name. **dashboard html acess** I have also added a second feature on the dashboard configuration page suggested by @pb66 which makes it simpler to access the html for the dashboard as well as making it possible to copy and paste dashboard content between installations: ![htmleditor](https://community.openenergymonitor.org/uploads/default/original/2X/e/ef27fa3a0c2f90c1d0b2f53b0c931268b28775be.png) **XSS Filter** There is also a new xss filter that removes javascript to help protect against XSS attacks, using [https://github.com/voku/anti-xss](https://github.com/voku/anti-xss) ## Testing Im looking for help testing these features before they are merged into the master branch. To switch to this tagname\_option development branch on an emonpi/emonbase the terminal commands are: ``` cd /var/www/emoncms/Modules/dashboard git checkout tagname_option ``` You may want to backup your mysql database before doing this, just in case there’s a bug that overwrites a previously created dashboard.

[Emoncms.org](http://Emoncms.org) is now running latest master which includes the html editor and feed tag:name feature. I have also added a new API to make dashboard export easier (and will be used by sync tool) ``` https://emoncms.org/dashboard/getcontent.json?id=DASHBOARDID&apikey=APIKEY_WRITE ``` ---
