IBM Verse: Customize and Extend IBM Verse
You can customize IBM Verse On-Premises using Extensions Points. Is is very well documented on Verse-developer site.
Currently on Verse 1.0.3, we have the following options:
- Business Card
- Mail Compose View
- Mail Read View
In this documentation, they use IBM Verse Developer Browser Extension, that is a browser add-on which is used in the development of applications for IBM Verse. It allows you to register your application in IBM Verse as you develop it. Applications registered with the extension are only available in the developers' local browser, and cannot be accessed from other devices.
Rather than using the browser add-on, I'd rather use another approach. That is to install a domino server in my station and do my customization directly.
Here's how to do it.
Procedure
A prerequisite is to have an IBM Domino server installed and IBM Verse configured.
1) Copy the applications.json file to the notesdata directory
Ex.: /domino/notesdata/applications.json
2) Create the vopext directory
mkdir -p /domino/notesdata/domino/html/vopext
3) Copy the sample files
4) Set the variables in the notes.ini:
VOP_EXTENSIBILITY_DATA_PROVIDER_NAME=localFileProvider VOP_Extensibility_Applications_Json_FilePath=/domino/notesdata/applications.json
5) Restart http the server
