There are various things in the framework now that have general

follow that same pattern here.
if you can tell me how to insert 'action' and 'widget' statements in
the
common/widget/commonscreens.xml decorators from a lower level
component,
I am very happy to do that.
The main tool to combine actions and widgets is the screen widget, so
including screens would be the natural way to get this information
shown in the header. In a way the header is too big right now anyway,
ie the code is all in one big block and such, and it would be nice to
have it more parameterized and organized, and easier to customize...
perhaps even with preferences and what what (seems to be the general
direction we're going).
What I was saying about the CSS and JS files is that we have a list of
those files to include for those, and for things to go in the header
we could create a similar list of screens to include, and just loop
through it (in the header.ftl file) and include each one using the
screens.include thingy. These would just be little informational
screenlets to show stuff in the header, just like these things you've
added (ie the organization party, even others like the currency, etc).
I hope that helps.
