I've never tried to modify the UI in the manner you're showing (which does appear to be covered in the UI Customization Guide) - but I'll ask the "dumb questions":

Did you remember to run make_toolkit.ipl, from the correct directory, after making those changes?
Did you make sure that you didn't have any backup copies of any of the customization files sitting in the original directories before you did the make_toolkit.ipl? (the build process tends to pull in everything it finds within those directories - so if you have backup copies sitting there it may override the actual changes you're trying to make)

And since we're talking about the TeamSite UI (as opposed to CCPro)...

By "make_toolkit.ipl" he means running ANT from the wcmweb/toolkit/teamsite directory. Make sure that's where you edited the ui_custom.xml and not in customer_src.

So where exactly i need to make changes.In

/wcmweb/toolkit/teamsite/customer_src/etc/conf/ui/custom/customer.xml

/customer_src/etc/conf/customer/ui_custom.xml

I am trying to customize Teamsite UI not ccpro.

The first one (wcmweb) is for TeamSite UI.

The second (customer_src) is for CCPro and workflow.

Does any one know if we can still customize UI for CCPro in TeamSite 7.5? Seems the instructions for UI Customization Guide in TeamSite 7.5 is only for TeamSite UI, not CCPro?

Garth McMillan

You can still customise CCPro in 7.5. As far as I can tell, there's been almost no change to CCPro in the last few versions.

Update: Just for completeness, CCPro is pretty much the same in TeamSite 8 as well.

Where are you looking?

I believe, at the 7.5 level anyway, the last rev of the UICG (User Interface Customization Guide) was in 7.4 or 7.4.1 - so you have to just get the doc from there. As stated, CCPro hasn't had much in the way of changes for quite some time so using the "old" UICG is sufficient for making such customizations.
