Modifying an existing add-on

[johnpelquingua]

Hi All,

How can I modify/config an existing add-on in Alfresco? Is it possible to modify it? I'm still a beginner in Alfresco.

Your reply will be much appreciated.

Thanks~

And if it's possible how can I modify it? What are the steps?

Thanks~

You need to download the add-on's codebase into your local machine, make necessary changes, build and deploy into your local alfresco.
Before making any changes, refer the add-on's license agreement also.

For Ex :
Source code for Report dashlet can be found in http://code.google.com/p/report-dashlet/source/checkout url and license agreement is in http://code.google.com/p/report-dashlet/ url.

Hope this helps you.
