What is the difference between asset extensions and app extensions ?

App extensions can facilitate common functionality applicable through out each asset type.

Asset extensions defines asset type specific functionality.


Where does the common functionality to both application exists?

/modules

 What is the overriding hierarchy of the extensions? How do we define it?

When we simply create a folder in the extensions/app or extensions/asset folders it becomes an app or asset extension. But we can define which extension it overrides by including a app.js or asset.js with the following line.

app.dependencies = ['default'];

The 'default' key word is the name of the folder/extension it overrides.

For an example, (A)-5 overrides (A)-11 ("greg-store" overrides "store-common"). If we open the file "store/extensions/app/greg_store/app.js" the following line is visible in the top.

app.dependencies=['store-common'];

(A)-6 overrides (B)-9. "greg-store-defaults" overrides "default" asset extension. Yes, it's possible to override asset extensions from app extensions.

Using javascript to Include a html file inside another html file

When there is no server side functionality needed we create the whole site in plain html. Usually these sites have left/right side menu, top header, footer etc.. If the site grows in to 20, 30 pages, it will be a headache to do a simple change like changing footer text. We will have to change each page. If we were using a server side technology like PHP, JSP, etc.., we will have the chance to keep the common areas in the site in different pages and include these parts in each page using a “include” statements. We can do the same thing with the plain old html and javascript. But how? First you need to create the site main layout using divs and give them unique ids. <html> <title>HTML Includes</title> <script language="javascript" src="js/main.js"></script> <script src="js/prototype.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script language="javascript" xml:space="preserve"> // <

Overriding default look and feel of GREG - 5.3.0

Following list explains what are the best approach for different use cases. 1 ) - You created a new asset type, and you need to change the look and feel of the details page in the listing page just for that new asset type. To create a new asset type you need to login to the carbon console (username:admin, password:admin) https:// :9443/carbon/ Navigate to Extensions > Configure > Artifacts Click "Add new Artifact" link at the bottom of the page. By default in the "Generic Artifact" area "application" asset type is loaded. Note the shortName="applications" in the root node. "applications" is the name of the asset type. Browse in to /repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/store/extensions/assets Create a folder with name "applications"    Now we can override the files in /repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/store/extensions/app/greg-store-defaults   Since we are overriding the details page we need to
