Shay Matityahu,
Newsfeed plugin comes with a component ( widget) that can be placed only within component panel. And component panel is the area where any widget can be placed at ( index page/user profile/user dashboard).
Area next to "messages" is called site panel it is not part of the component panel. Thus it doesn't have needed php functionality behind to handle components such as newsfeed widget.
I am afraid that placing newsfeed into this area will require complex custom code modifications and it is generally not advised to put it there. Having a huge newsfeed block in this area will move rest of the site's content down and this won't look good.

Hi Aliia,
I have a test environment to check this, but I could not find the "site panel" file.
Can you please tell me the exact file name for edit?
Thanks in advance
Shay

Hi Kieron,
Thanks for your reply
I do not such a developer
Is it possible to simply add somewhere simple code of the following type:
<a href=http://www.domain.com/index class="button">News </a>
Thanks
Shay

Hi Kieron,
I changed the DropdownMenu (BASE_CMP_ConsoleDropdownMenu) to button (BASE_CMP_ConsoleButton) and added conditions (If a user isAuthenticated) and it works Just as I wanted.
Thanks a lot
Shay
