Author dashboard

Heres the post that I thought would solve it:

http://wordpress.org/support/topic/147678?replies=11

but the lines that were mentioned in it, aren’t in the 2.5 version.

Didn’t make any difference, heres my wp-admin/index.php file:

<?php

require_once('admin.php');

require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/dashboard.php');

wp_dashboard_setup();

function index_js() {
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(function() {
jQuery('#dashboard_incoming_links div.dashboard-widget-content').not( '.dashboard-widget-control' ).find( '.widget-loading' ).parent().load('index-extra.php?jax=incominglinks');
jQuery('#dashboard_primary div.dashboard-widget-content').not( '.dashboard-widget-control' ).find( '.widget-loading' ).parent().load('index-extra.php?jax=devnews');
jQuery('#dashboard_secondary div.dashboard-widget-content').not( '.dashboard-widget-control' ).find( '.widget-loading' ).parent().load('index-extra.php?jax=planetnews');
jQuery('#dashboard_plugins div.dashboard-widget-content').not( '.dashboard-widget-control' ).find( '.widget-loading' ).parent().load('index-extra.php?jax=plugins');
});
</script>
