How to deploy the extension file, I found a web client extension folder under data dictionary, but after I put the web-client-config-custom.xml into the folder nothing happens.
Do I have to put the file into <web-app>\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\extension and restart the system to get those extension work?

Modify the Explorer configuration file in the repository.
Browse to the following space: Company Home > Data Dictionary > Web Client Extensions.
Open the web-client-config-custom.xml file.
Uncomment any <config> items that you want to enable.
Save the file.
Use this method to edit a file directly in the repository and then to reload it using the Explorer. This means that you do not have to restart the server and applies versions to the configuration changes.

I found "Company Home > Data Dictionary > Web Client Extension" in my alfresco explorer and deploy the xml file in it, but nothing happens.
Is this because of the lack "s" letter?

Once you upload your web-client-config-custom.xml file under Web Client Extension space you need to reload it explicitly from  web client config console.

You may access the web client console @ http://localhost:8080/alfresco/faces/jsp/admin/webclientconfig-console.jsp

Thanks, this works.
Why don't alfresco add the web client configuration console to the admin console instead of let administrator remember this url?
