Fixed In Version: python-django-horizon-2014.1-0.4.b3.fc21
Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
To add features or new components to the Dashboard, changes to the local_settings file were necessary. With this update, a plugin architecture for horizon is introduced. As a result, users can now place a config file in the /openstack_dashboard/enabled and restart the web server. For more information, see http://docs.openstack.org/developer/horizon/topics/settings.html#pluggable-settings-for-dashboards.

Description RHOS Integration 2013-12-12 20:23:54 UTC 
Cloned from launchpad blueprint https://blueprints.launchpad.net/horizon/+spec/plugin-architecture.

Description:

Currently adding stuff to horizon requires to change settings.py. This
is nearly impossible in a world of software packages. At least, when
using RPM packages, it is absolutely unwanted, to change files at
install time, depending if other packages are installed or not.

The idea would be a directory to place python packages to be added
dynamically to the dashboard.

Comment 2 Stephen Gordon 2014-01-23 20:51:04 UTC 
Moving to POST based on upstream status (Implemented).
Comment 3 Arthur Berezin 2014-02-03 18:52:00 UTC 
Enables 3rd parties to integrate with Horizon.
Comment 4 Matthias Runge 2014-03-19 07:43:25 UTC 
Or included in all Icehouse milestone (or later) builds
Comment 5 Matthias Runge 2014-03-25 08:28:44 UTC 
QA: this can not be tested directly, as this feature provides infrastructure.

A way would be:
Make sure, openstack-dashboard-theme is installed (or install it and restart httpd). You should see a totally different UI (dark theme, Red Hat logos etc.).

This new theme was introduced in icehouse-3 milestone.
Note, until https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1080347 is fixed, the theme is broken. 
The integration of the theme was done using the plugin stuff.
