Effect List
The Effect List page lists all available effects in a table with two columns: Effect Information and Action. Each row presents one effect with the following details:
- Preview image — a 200px-wide effect preview, loaded from
Effects/<EffectName>/preview.jpgon the official server. - Effect name and version — e.g.
DashBoard_Calendar (01.00.00). - Description — a text description; empty for most effects.
- Demo Url — opens the sample page of this effect on the official demo site, so you can see it before applying.
- Action apply button — effects that are not applied show a green play button; click it to apply immediately. The currently applied effect shows a disabled red stop button, plus a gear button labeled with the current theme instance name (e.g.
Calendar_Default) next to its name, linking to that effect's Effect Options page. Each module instance can only apply one effect at a time — clicking the play button of another effect switches to it.
Preview images and Demo Urls come from the official server
Both point to www.dnngo.net. If your server cannot reach the internet, preview images fall back to a generic "no image" placeholder — this does not affect installing or running the effects themselves.
There are 15 available effects in two categories:
Function effects (sidebar widgets):
| Effect | Purpose | Live demo |
|---|---|---|
| DashBoard_Archive | Albums grouped by month | View demo |
| DashBoard_Calendar | Browse albums of a specific day in a calendar (replaces the old standalone Calendar module) | View demo |
| DashBoard_Category | The category list of the main module | View demo |
| DashBoard_PhotoList | The latest albums / photos | View demo |
| DashBoard_Tags | The tags of the main module | View demo |
Presentation effects (carousels/galleries):
| Effect | Description | Live demo |

The presentation effects are the same as their namesakes in the main module's Effects settings, used to present photos with animation in a sidebar; their parameters are configured the same way.
