Deployment Issue: Widget Not Showing in Perspective Manager (CS 24.1 / SmartUI SDK 24.1)

Hi everyone,

I'm encountering difficulties deploying a custom widget on Content Server 24.1 using SmartUI SDK 24.1. I’ve been following the guidelines from course 4-0190 Content Server SmartView Development – 20.2, but I’m stuck with a couple of issues:

  1. Missing out-module Folder:
    I noticed that the out-module folder, which previously contained the OS files necessary for deployment, has been removed. I’m unsure of the updated deployment process without this folder.
  2. CSUIExtension Orphaning:
    I’ve come across several discussions about “orphaning” the CSUIExtension object as a workaround. However, despite trying the suggested approaches, my module still fails to build properly. The error indicates that it cannot find the bundles for the module.

I’ve reviewed several posts in the forum (e.g., discussions around the missing out-module folder and deployment workarounds) but haven’t been able to resolve the issue. Could anyone provide clear, step-by-step instructions on how to deploy a widget under these conditions? Any guidance on how to handle the missing out-module folder and properly orphan the CSUIExtension object would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help!

    Reiner Merz used to be our teacher in SmartUI

    ContentServer(livelink) since it is written in Oscript it needs a server module to register your new widget for Oscripters which is the easiest path as well.I am pretty sure if you followed his posts you will get it or you can directly write to him and he is very helpful

    Thank you for suggesting that I reach out Sir Reiner Merz. I really appreciate your guidance, and I’ve just sent him a message about my widget deployment issues. Once I receive his response, I’ll be sure to share it with everyone on the forum so we can all benefit from his insights.
