Alfresco share 4.2.e : Add new drop down appItems to header

[alfuser]

Hi ,
I'm using alfresco share 4.2.e.I would like to add new header items (drop down app item).I'm able to add new header items by modifying 'share-header.lib.js'.But instead of modifying 'share-header.lib.js' is it possible to add new header items?

Hi

Yes, as per new implementation approach -  "widget processing framework" , Need to modify 'share-header.lib.js' file for new header bar.

You can check Dave Draper blog.- http://blogs.alfresco.com/wp/developer/2013/09/04/customizing-the-share-header-menu-part-1/

FYI…Alfresco still supports older header. For that you can set "legacy-mode-enabled" to true .

You can check OOB configurations  - share-config.xml file located at - tomcat\webapps\share\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco

Hope it helps!
