The Layers of Customization

The Layers of Customization

● IBM Connections – Change the Experience. – Use the Service Data.– Integrate with the Plumbing.

● Use a combination of layers, deployments and access modes.

● Often partners start off with a simple iWidget to bring their experience to IBM Connections.

http://wildfire.openntf.org/

Access Modes and Deployment Styles

● There are two main types of IBM Connections Deployments: – Cloud – IBM hosts a multitenant

environment.● Limited Access to Change the

Social Experience● Limited Co Deployment Options● No Changes to the Core

Application without IBM– Hosted – A single organization hosts their

own environment. ● Complete Control of Everything

● There are some additional wrinkles to think about: – Mobile

● Uses the IBM Connections Mobile App

● MAAS Capable ● Loosely Coupled Integrations

– Browser● 100% Control of the Entire

Experience in a Hosted Environment

● Loosely Coupled Integration in a Cloud Environment

The Social Experience

The Social Experience

● The Social Experience is how you want your users to interact with IBM Connections.

● The interactions may include your Social Application, or be purely Look and Feel.

● Logic - Based on Dojo 1.9.2 using AMD– Most Applications use pre-AMD format

● Look and Feel - Based on One UI 3.0.3 iWidgets and OpenSocial Gadgets

● Packaging – Based on OSGI Plugins and Jazz Ajax Framework

IBM Connections Theme

● The IBM Connections Theme is a modular combination of CSS, JavaScript and HTML.

● The Theme has Layers of Complexity that developers can tap:– Simple (Configure and Modify)– Complex (Extend and New)

● Developers have mixed in jQuery using the require.js

Modifying Themes

Modify the Corresponding Files● Place your modified files in the

<customization_dir>/<app>/<fileLocation> such as /local/conx/connections_data/customizations/common/nav/templates/menu

Reload the Common Ear● Navigate to WebSphere Admin Console● Click Applications → All Applications ● Select Common, Select Stop, then Submit

Action● Select Common, Select Start, then Submit

Action● Open a New Private Window● Launch the IBM Connections Homepage

Be sure to set - CONNECTIONS_CUSTOMIZATION_DEBUG

Debug ThemeConfigure Customization Debug

● Open the WebSphere Solutions Console● Expand Environment● Click WebSphere Variables● In the Scope section, select the cell from

the list, and then click New.● Enter the following values into the fields:

– Name: CONNECTIONS_CUSTOMIZATION_DEBUG

● Click on the Application (Activities) ● Click Context Root for Web Modules● Change the Value of the Module of

Interest● Click Ok

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21627891

Don't Forget to Change the LotusConnections-config.xml and Sync

● Find the Deployment Manager profile's LotusConnections-Config folder● Edit the LotusConnections-config.xml file● Find the sloc:serviceReference/sloc:href/sloc:hrefPathPrefix● Change to match your changed Context Root for Web Module● Synchronize the Profile and REBUILD your HTTP plugin!

You can also disable and enable certain services like Chat Awareness and Social Recommendations in the LotusConnections-config.xml.

Logos

● Replace the IBM Connections logo with your company logo.

● Update the Customization Directory– customizationDirectory/javascript/com/ibm/lc

onn/core/styles/images/logo.png– customizationDirectory/javascript/com/ibm/on

eui3/styles/imageLibrary/Branding/Logos/ibmLogoOpaque16.png

– customizationDir/themes/<theme_name>/custom.css

● Keep in mind there are Left-to-Right and Right-to-Left Layouts... if you need Right to Left use RTL appended to the css file

<p id="lconnErrorDetails" style="display:none;" class="lconnErrorDetails"> <label for="lconnErrorText"> Copy the following error information and email it to <a href="mailto:lcadmin@mycompany.com">lcadmin@mycompany.com</a>. </label> <textarea id="lconnErrorText" readonly="readonly" class="lotusText" wrap="off"> </textarea></p>

Homepage → Getting StartedModify the gettingstarted-config.xml

Configure your steps Point to the HTML you want to activate on startup

You can reset each user's Getting Started Flag using theJython Admin Interface

Create Your StyleSheet● The easiest way to master the CSS is use the OneUI

reference and Firebug/Chrome Inspector. ● See – Modify – Validate – Copy into CSS● Copy the CSS into

customizationDir/themes/defaultTheme

● Also you can look at com.ibm.lconn.core.styles_version.jar

● You can check it using the URL

https://<server>/connections/resources/web/com.ibm.oneui3.styles/css/defaultTheme/defaultTheme.css

You can also add your own CSS for your own apps

See

Modify

Validate

And Copy the CSS Rule

The General Approach Works

You may have to specify !important

JavaScript

● Each IBM Connections application renders in the Browser (mainly AJAX), and rarely on the Server.

● The User Interface is built via JavaScript logic which is delivered in Dojo Layers.

● Uses OSGI bundles to manage dependencies and minify the javascript code.

Per Claudio Procida

http://www.slideshare.net/ClaudioProcida/connections-extensions-and-themes-demystified

JavaScript: Jazz Application Framework (JAF)

● IBM Connections uses a modified code drop of the Rational Concert / JAF framework. – Generates Dojo Layers and CSS– Resolves Dependencies and Minification– Managed as OSGI Bundles– Defined OSGI Extension Points – Server-side component

● Components are in 2 main forms: – OSGI Bundles (JARs – Manifest/CSS/JS)– Customization Directory (JavaScript)

http://www.slideshare.net/ClaudioProcida/connections-extensions-and-themes-demystified

JavaScript JavaScript

_js?include=js1&include=js2...

https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/JAFSdk

Extension Points

● Extension points enable activation of various JavaScript and CSS components used in the Web Apps via Common.ear.

● Extension-point are: – net.jazz.ajax.webBundles– net.jazz.ajax.dojoModuleBinding– com.ibm.lconn.core.styles.cssBinding– com.ibm.lconn.core.styles.themes

● More complex uses are available with: – net.jazz.ajax.dojoModules– net.jazz.ajax.dojoResourceModules

/opt/IBM/Connections/data/shared/provision/webresources/

Web Bundles (net.jazz.ajax.webBundles)

● The webBundles alias defines the resource context is example. ● Accessing test.js in the example bundle would be

https://connections.imaginnado.com/connections/resources/web/example/test.js

Dojo Module Binding (net.jazz.ajax.dojoModuleBinding)

● dojoModuleBinding establishes a relationship between modules (not bundles), when the referenced bundle is loaded, the referencing bundle is activated.

● A common binding is lconn.core.header● Developers can easily activate their Dojo Module on every page.

CSS (com.ibm.lconn.core.styles.cssBinding)

● cssBinding establishes a relationship between style sheets, when the referenced bundle is loaded, the referencing bundle is activated.

● You should look at the CSS that is used in your theme to do the bindings.

Custom Themes (com.ibm.lconn.core.styles.themes)

● Defines the Resources for a Theme, and the paths for the Theme, the best is to start with a well known theme and it's bundles.

● A Great Example is on IBM Greenhouse.

● You Must change the LotusConnections-Config.xml to point to the theme id.

● Themes can be used in Communities or as Global Themes

<properties> <genericProperty name="com.ibm.lconn.core.web.styles.theme.default">vanilla</genericProperty> <!-- Other generic properties --> </properties>

Overriding JavaScript

● You can create a bundle or drop the unjared javascript into the right customization_data directory.

● Identify the JavaScript you want to Change, Edit or Override

● Copy it to the customizationDir/javascript/<where it loads> from

● Test it out

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSYGQH_5.0.0/admin/customize/t_customize_override_js.dita

Debugging Theme and JavaScript Issues● Disables the net.jazz.ajax JS loader● Open the Page● Open Firebug or Any Web Tools Console● Add ?debug=true to the page you are

having an issue. – https://<server>/communities/service/html/own

edcommunities?debug=true● Reload the Page● Watch the Page Load Closely

● You don't get the minified JavaScript. You get each JavaScript Independently Loaded.

https://connections.imaginnado.com/activities/service/html/mainpage#dashboard,myactivities?debug=true

Demonstration Debugging

IBM Connections Profiles Business Card

● IBM Connections Profiles provides you a simple embed on any web page using just JavaScript/HTML.

● The business card provides a snapshot of a user's profile information and contact details.

● It's super customizable and secure.● You can fully integrate and customize it:

– Integrating Business Card http://ibm.co/1wQkYiH

– Customizing the Business Card http://ibm.co/1z0V6Gx

IBM Connections Community Business Card

● The Community Business Card provides you a simple embed on any web page using just JavaScript/HTML.

● The business card displays the image associated with the community, and includes key links that allow users to quickly navigate to a community from the application in which the card is deployed

● You can learn to Integrate with the Community Card http://ibm.co/1DBeRGq

● You can still use debug=true here!

http://ibm.co/1xV63Ia

IBM Connections Business Cards Demos

iWidget

● An iWidget is a browser-based component model used to extend IBM Connections. – Single Rendering Domain with Connections– Scoped with Context– Modes and Properties Sets and Eventing– Server-Side Proxy (or use CORS)

● An iWidget is an XML markup that links to CSS Resources and JavaScript – Located at any URL (Local or Remote)– Cached

● Small Bit of Admin Needed

public.dhe.ibm.com/software/dw/lotus/mashups/developer/iwidget-spec-v2.pdf

https://connections.imaginnado.com/connections/resources/web/lconn.comm/widgets/helloWorld/HelloWorld.xml

iWidget Key Elements

● User Profile is available via iContext:– this.iContext.getUserProfile().getItemValue('userid'); – Also you can use email, displayName

● Preferences may be persisted: – this.iContext.getiWidgetAttributes().setItemValue("nam

e", "myValue");– this.iContext.getiWidgetAttributes().save();– Be Sure to define the itemset in the widget-config.xml

for that widget.● Use the AjaxProxy

– var myUrl = "http://mycompany.com/test.xml";– var proxiedURL = this.iContext.io.rewriteURI(myUrl);

● Reuse the CSS of the Page– Single Domain Rendering means IBM

Connections JavaScript, CSS and Dojo are already loaded

● Use Modes– this.iContext.iEvents.fireEvent("onModeChan

ged", null, "{newMode: 'view'}"); ● Use Dojo pubsub to message between

iWidgets or use window.postMessage● Be Sure to Limit the Number of Requests

– Defer as much to the Available CSS– Cache as Much as Possible on the Browser– Use the Scope

http://ibm.co/1sQKJTH

Supported Layouts and Tips

● iWidgets can be put on only a few services:– Profiles– Communities– Homepage

● Many partners choose to not have a Title Bar so they can dynamically choose to activate the iWidget based on who is rendering.– skinType="skinless"

http://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/dw/lotus/mashups/developer/iwidget-spec-v2.1.pdf

Access to Connections Data● Access the component via Variable in the

iWidget: – Activities {activitiesSvcRef} – Blogs {blogsSvcRef} – Dogear {dogearSvcRef} – Profiles {profilesSvcRef} – Communities {communitiesSvcRef} – Homepage {homepageSvcRef} – Wikis {wikisSvcRef} – Files {filesSvcRef} – Real XML file path {widgetContextRoot}

● Get Profiles data via {profiles}/atom/profile.do

Homepage LayoutHomepageAdmins can specify the apps (opensocial or iWidgets) added.Also register via wsadmin command

HomepageMy PageUsers can add Gadgets to their Starting Page

Profiles Layout

Use the FTL to change the Layout in the Widgets

Change the Look and Feel Using Prior Methods

Add Fields to the Profile using Profile Extensions.

Profiles

You can lay out the page using Widgets-config.xml

Be sure to make a definition, and then add the definition to each page and location you want http://www.sli

deshare.net/pgodby/ic5-l09-iwidgetprofiles

Communities Layout

Communities

Disable showing in palette using showInPallete=false (part of widgetDef)

Define widgetDef and layout under the communities resource (col1, col3)

Template defines what widgets are automatically activated when creating a new community.

OpenSocial Gadget

● OpenSocial is an open web standard which defines how to build social enabled applications, known as gadgets.

● IBM Connections leverages the Apache Shindig as part of the WidgetContainer (Common Runtime Engine).

● Unique aspects for developers: – Locked and Isolated Rendering Domain– Modes Properties Events and Contexts– Server-Side Proxy – Integrated OAuth

http://www.w3.org/blog/2014/12/opensocial-foundation-moves-standards-work-to-w3c-social-web-activity/

IBM Connections and OpenSocial

● OpenSocial is partnered with ActivityStreams to provide an event api and people api. ● IBM Connections uses OpenSocial with the Share Dialog, Activity Streams (Communities and

Homepage) and Homepage● Add the IBM Connection Theme to the Mix <Optional feature="com.ibm.connections.theme"/>

Cloud: Theme and Organization Extensions

● IBM Connections Cloud enables developers a limited set of UI changes. – Select Theme– Loosely Coupled Organization Extensions

● Administrators can extend the IBM Connections Cloud's user interface (UI). These UI extensions allow users to launch external applications from within the UI and also pass information to those applications that are related to the current context.

● Limited opportunities to change

IBM Connections OpenSocial and Activity Streams

● OpenSocial and Activity Streams are generally seen on the Homepage, inside Gadgets and Communities. – MicroBlog Status Updates– Complex Events with Actionable Data– URL Preview and Image Resizer API– People API

● 3rd Parties Generally use it to Promote their Application in the Connections UI and to Gain Attention

IBM Connections Profiles and Profiles Administration

● Profiles enables users to change their personal data and find data about others in their organization.

● Partners often leverage this data to find others, leverage the network of the user, reports-to-chain, or grab profile photos.

● Profiles Admin APIs enable users who do not want to use TDI Assembly lines to get data into Profiles.

IBM Connections People Finder

● People Finder is custom built on the Search Service, and is designed for wild card and quick searches.

● Call /search/basic/people/typeahead?query=gi

● Get Back A Confidence Score and a Highlighted Person

"givenNames": [ "<B>Gi</B>lad" ] // additional matchin

"score": 9.181154,

IBM Connections Communities

● Communities enables developers to provide an organization of people of a common interest, and automatically provision resources for those users– Calendar Events– Media Gallery– Lifecycle.

● There are many projects that use Communities APIs to manage social data access as an ACL. – CRM – Project Management

IBM Connections Activities

● Activities enables a team to collect, organize and share content related to a goal or project.

● The APIs are very granular and used in complex scenarios.

● The aggregation of data (entries), ability to annotate the entries and search the entries is appealing.

IBM Connections Blogs

● Blogs need I explain more enables users to subscribe to blogs, interact and comment.

● Many partners use Blogs as a backend to present to their customers. Used as a Service

IBM Connections Bookmarks

● Bookmarks is a social bookmarking system to record resources which are of interest to others and to share and discover.

● Note the Implementation of Bookmarks and Communities Bookmarks are different.

IBM Connections Files

● Files enables users to share, discover, comment and interact files and folders.

● There are TWO main APIs the legacy Sharing API and the CMIS API. – Both Are Available.

● Quota details are available via API as well.

IBM Connections Forums

● Forums captures conversations around topics and categories.

IBM Connections Wikis

● Wikis enable the capture of topic based knowledge.

● Wikis provide versioning and commenting and liking.

● Developers typically load data and use the table of contents in their application.

IBM Business Support Services

● Business Support Services is a workflow-based management system which tenants (organizations) use.

● BSS enables User to add and manage feature access, authorization, authentication and workflow management.

Other Social Data Services

● IBM Connections Chat Brendan Arthurs is hosting a session AD204 which goes into this in detail.

● IBM Verse – Andrew Davis is hosting an IBM Verse AppDev and Extensibility Session AD104

● IBM Docs

Service DataDemo

The Plumbing

IBM Connections Search

● IBM Connections Search is based on Lucene.– Scopes and Constraints– Facets on the Search– Not Meant for Typeahead (eg Wildcarding)– Seedlists

● Partners typically use this to find data specific to a single application and present to a user.– Find a User with a Tagged Skill – Find a Wiki Page with Content– Provide a Search Engine (via Seedlists)

IBM Connections Events

● IBM Connections Events is a Service Provider Interface that enables developers to subscribe to the Compliance and Auditing events.

● There are two types of event handlers pre-event and post-event handlers.

● The handlers are Java code that implement the SPI.

● Events should be processed and forwarded to a specific service.

● Cloud Enabled solution coming in future. ● Gamification and Compliance vendors use

this interface.

Authentication and Authorization Types1. Security Assertion Markup Language, (SAML

1.1/2.0) enables an organization to link their Identity Provider with IBM SmartCloud for Social Business.

2. OAuth (1.0a/2.0) enables a user to register an application with IBM SmartCloud for Social Business and download a Public/Private Key to request credentials for a User and use the response to the request to access the backend services.

3. Basic Auth enables a person to access a website using a Base64 encoding of a username:password.

4. App Passwords enables a application to access a website using a Base64 encoding of a username:app_specific_password

The Tools

Getting Started... Also know as... The Tools

● In General You only need a modest set of tools of Dev Tools: – Simple / Theme Based Changes and

Configuration can be done with Notepad– Complex you may want to grab a Zip

Archiver and/or use Eclipse J2EE ● You should get curl to do command line

API requests.

● Tools you should get Debug and Inspector Tools: – Google Chrome Postman – Google Chrome with Inspector Tools– Firefox with Firebug and FBTrace

● FBTrace tracks the CSS Change and DOM Changes

Also, the IBM Connections Cloud SDK (nee Social Business Toolkit SDK ) is a resource/tool.

The Tools: IBM Connections Cloud SDK

● The IBM Connections SDK is a set of libraries and code samples that you use for connecting to the IBM Social Business Platform.– Code Snippets / Examples on GitHub
