At a high-level, you will add a new page definition ("page" is a Surf model object that is expressed in XML) and a new template-instance. The template-instance and components for that page can reuse the template and components currently used for the existing data list page.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Here are some hints that will help you do this…</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Go find the page XML that is used for the existing Data List page. It lives in $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/share/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/site-data/pages/data-lists.xml and copy that into your own web-extension directory using the same folder structure ($TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/share/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/web-extension/site-data/pages/external-lists.xml). Edit the file to replace "data-lists" with "external-lists".</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>You'll need a new template-instance file. Copy $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/share/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/site-data/template-instances/data-lists.xml into $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/share/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/web-extension/site-data/template-instances/external-lists.xml". The template instance will point to the existing data list components, but if you want to maintain the data lists created by the OOTB Data List page separately from the data lists created by this new page, you'll have to configure a different container. So, open your new template-instance XML and change the container element value to "externalLists".</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Sorry I don't have time to give you more detail. I haven't tested these steps so I'm sure there are some things missing, but hopefully that gets you pointed in the right direction.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Jeff</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 29 May 2012 15:42:02 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/customize-share-ui/m-p/247568#M200698 jpotts 2012-05-29T15:42:02Z
