Hi,
First of all, I'm quite new to both OX and web programming in Java, so
please be patient. :)
I'm trying to get my head around the templating-system, but I'm afraid
I've been unable to figure it out on my own, so hopefully someone here
can help. I see that the intranet servlet handles all the requests and
writes it to a ComfireServer instance, but from there to actually
getting a page displayed on screen, I'm a bit lost as to what is going on.
1) Where are the Templates parsed and the variable-names replaced with
the values that is output to the user?
I've just started looking at implementing some new functionality in OX.
To be more specific, we want to have a new page where we can view sort
of a "snapshot" of what everyone in the organization is doing right now,
according to their calendars. We wish to make this as modular as
possible/feasible, so it can easily be implemented elsewhere.
Right now, we would like to add a button on the top bar for this, and,
if possible, have the functionality as an extra element in the left
frame. Of course the layout would be a little different.
2) Is it at all possible to make this "drop-in" functionality, so that
everything we need is contained within our project and can be deployed
at any OX-installations without having to edit the OX-configuration?
3) Do you have a any suggestion on good ways to go about creating
something like this?
The documentation (or perhaps lack thereof, in some places) and the size
of OX is quite daunting, so any pointers in the right direction would be
much appreciated.
Regards,
Roger
