Custom menu in content center professional

Teamsite 7.3.2

Windows

I am trying to add a custom menu item in content center peofessional. I executed the following steps based on UI customization guide(TS 7.2 guide as 7.3 guide does not have any mention of CC Pro customization) but still do not see the menu item in content center professional -

Added the following code in ui_custom.xml in C:\Interwoven\TeamSite\local\config\lib\content_center\customer_src

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<iwov-ui>
  <action-list id="iw.ccpro.filesys.menubar">
    <menu id="iw.ccpro.view.menu">
      <link id="cu.report_menu_item.link"
        label="Prepare Report"
        description="Month"
        url="/iw-bin/report.cgi"
        target="_blank">
      </link>
    </menu>
  </action-list>
</iwov-ui>

Ran Command
cd C:\Interwoven\TeamSite\local\config\lib\content_center\customer_src
C:\Interwoven\TeamSite\iw-perl\bin\iwperl C:\Interwoven\TeamSite\bin\make_toolkit.ipl

I verified C:\Interwoven\ApplicationContainer\server\default\deploy\iw-cc.war\WEB-INF\conf\customer and I see the above code updated in ui_custom.xml

I also deleted the C:\Interwoven\ApplicationContainer\server\default\work\jboss.web\localhost\iw-cc\org\apache\jsp folder so that JSPs are recompiled

Cleared temporary internet files too in IE to make sure it does not render cached data.

Even after doing this I do not see the changes appearing in content center professional.

I would appreciate if anybody can guide me on what I am missing.

Off hand (not looking at a TeamSite server right now) - the steps you took look correct.

Have you logged out and back in to TeamSite?

And you verified that there is no "Prepare Report" option on the "View" menu list?

You might need to use an iwov-insert-after directive in the ui_custom.xml file directive, but I believe not doing so should add the option(s) at the end of the list.

Hi Ghoti,

Thanks for responding.

Yes, I tried to logout and login to teamsite but it does not reflect the change.

I am on Teamsite 7.3, do you know if customization procedure got changed in this version? When I check 7.3 UI customization guide (TeamSite_7.3_UICustomization_en) it does not talk about CC Pro at all, and as per this guide the changes need to be made to customer.xml. I believe it just talks about customizing the new Teamsite UI.

In order to use iwov-insert-after where can I find the IDs of existing menu items which I can specify in this directive?

Thanks in advance.

You're missing one of <iwov-insert-after> or <iwov-insert-before> as a parent to <link>. I do believe it's required as it's never worked for me without it.

You can find the IDs of other items in the TeamSite/local/config/lib/content_center/reference folder tree, or (if you know where to look) by inspecting the CCPro page in IEtoolbar/firebug/chrome tools.

Customization for CCPro hasn't changed - so if you cannot find the information in the 7.3 UICG (which, does appear to have "lost" the information for customizing CCPro), look in the 7.2 UICG
