JavaScript resource strings

Use the information in the tables to identify customizable strings sourced from JavaScript™ files and to determine the correct location for saving the customized files.

Customizable strings

Notes:

• In the paths listed here:

  • installedApps refers to the following directory path: WAS\_HOME/profiles/profile\_name/installedAppswhere:

    • WAS_HOME is the directory to which you installed IBM® WebSphere® Application Server.
    • profile_name is the profile to which you installed one of the HCL Connections™ applications. For example: /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppSrv01/installedApps/standaloneCell01/

  • webresources refers to the web resources provisioning directory for HCL Connections that is created during installation. By default, it is created in the following directory: CONNECTIONS\_HOME/data/shared/provision/webresources

    For example: /opt/IBM/Connections/Data/shared/provision/webresources

  • customizationDir refers to the base customization directory where you need to save your customized files. This base directory is defined during the installation of HCL Connections, when it is saved as a WebSphere® Application Server variable named CONNECTIONS_CUSTOMIZATION_PATH. This variable is set to [shared\_data\_directory\_root](../plan/i_ovr_r_directory_conventions.md)/customization by default.

    For example: local/opt/IBM/Connections/Data/shared/provision/customization/

  • version refers to the file version and time stamp, for example, _3.0.0.20120307-0100 in the following file name: com.ibm.lconn.activities.web.resources\_3.0.0.20120307-0100.jar

  • language_code identifies the language-specific version of the strings that you want to customize. For a list of the language codes that are supported by HCL Connections, see Language codes.

Bookmarklet

Note: The bookmarklet is the window that displays when you add a bookmark. It is in the Common.ear file. The bookmarklet allows users to add bookmarks to different applications, such as Communities or Activities. Users can add a button to their browser that allows them to access the bookmarklet window. Every page in Connections has a Bookmarking Tools link in the page footer that allows users to install this toolbar button.
