The add-in UI is a combination of three components:
1 - The installer.
2 - C# / .NET code
3 - Webscripts

The UI for #1 and #2 is in the extensions/AlfrescoOffice2003 folder - you'll need Visual Studio .NET and the Visual Studio Tools for Office libraries available from Microsoft. The installer is fairly obvious! The C# code provides the configuration screen and the webcripts everything else (the tabbed interface).

The webscript UI is in two parts as usual: webscripts at remote-api/config/alfresco/templates/webscripts/org/alfresco/office and client-side assets at web-client/source/web/[images|css|scripts]/office

Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,
Good Morning!! thanks for your help.
Actually the add-in is available as a setup files and installed at the client side.
And if we want to customize this ad-in then how can we customize and supply to the user?
Because in the setup file the source is converted into byte format.
I didn't found any images in the setup file.

My requirement is i want to customize this addin (means changing the logos, css, some modification in webscripts as well).
These logos,css, and webscripts for office add-in is available at server side. So how the client can see my changes?
And is it automatically reflected at client side if we change at server side?

thanks for your support.

The add-in code is mostly a wrapper around an embedded MSIE browser (plus code to handle authentication and the Office APIs, etc.). The tabbed interface is webscripts only - change it on the server and all clients will see the new UI.

The add-in must have it's own UI elements however, as on first install it doesn't know where the Alfresco server is to get this UI. In order to change the installer and C# parts of the add-in, you'll have to at least be able to re-build the setup files. You can edit the resources within the DLL files directly using Visual Studio and then repackage.

I suggest you check-out the AlfrescoOffice2003 source and load it up into Visual Studio. You may be prompted for a password which is required by the VSTO module - it's simply "alfresco"

Thanks,
Mike
