By reading the TS UI customization guide, if you are on 6.X

Nicholas

It is a quiet easy process, you just need to prepare some XML and put is in ui_custom.xml file and build ui using make_toolkit. Other related things and example, you can find example in customisation guide, as suggested already.

Icebreaker

Hi There,

Step1. You can have an item in the ui_custom.xml

Step2. Specify who can access it it roles_custom.xml

Path for above is : uikt/customer_src/etc/conf/customer/

where uitk is iw-home/local/config/lib/content-center

Step 3. Have your customized script for the item you are creating under the following location : iw-home/httpd/iw-bin

Step 4. run maketoolkit.ipl from 'customer_src' location.

Here is a quick snippet for th UIKT....

Inside the UITK home directory you will find the following:
1. toolkits.xml: defines the toolkits being used

2. Reference Toolkit: contains documented copies of style sheets and configuration files

3. Default Customer Toolkit: 2 directories, customer_out and customer_src, which comprise the default customer toolkit

4. Sample Customer Toolkit: customer_sample_src

5. All your customization work should happen in the customer_src directory

6. The only file in the root of the uikt directory that you should ever modify is toolkits.xml

All the best!

Jay
