Adding a link to the HCL Connections navigation bar

  1. Copy the header.jsp file (if you have not already done so) to the HCL Connections customization folder under /common/nav/templates/.

  2. Add the following markup to the <ul> element in header.jsp:

    <%--><li id="lotusBannerICEC" class="<c:if test="${first}">lotusFirst</c:if>"><%--
    --%><a href="/xcc/main?page=icec"><%--
        --%><img alt="Link to ICEC" role="presentation" src="<lc-ui:blankGif />" class="lconnBannerIcon lconnSprite lconnSprite-iconHomeBlue16"><%--
        --%><span class="lotusBannerIcec">icec</span><%--
    --%></a><%--
    --%></li><%--
    
  3. The ID lotusBannerICEC on the <li> element is important because Connections Engagement Center uses it to mark the menu item as selected when a user is on a Connections Engagement Center page.

    Currently, only one top-navigation menu item can be displayed as selected. You can add additional menu items in header.jsp, but they will not be highlighted as selected. Use unique IDs for any additional <li> elements.

  4. Restart the Connections servers to publish the updated header.jsp file to all Connections applications.
