I often find that I hit the CruiseControl.NET home page, see red on a build, and specifically want the latest build report. I could click the Project Name link then the latest build link, but that intermediate page isn’t buying me much. What I’d really like is the last build time to be a link to this latest build report.

I cracked open the webdashboard folder, and inside the templates directory was the magic sauce. I modified ProjectGrid.vm line 127 from:

<td>$projectGridRow.LastBuildDate</td>

to

<td><a href=”/server/$projectGridRow.ServerName/project/$projectGridRow.Name/ViewLatestBuildReport.aspx”>$projectGridRow.LastBuildDate</a></td>

and I now click on the last build date link and get straight to the last build report. Awesome.
