9. View extensions

To add additional content to existing views sometimes it is necessary to create 'viewExtensions' xml file (see View Tab Module or View Ribbon Group Module).

9.1. extension xml definition

View extension xml file must have structure:

<viewExtensions xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
	xmlns="http://schema.qcadoo.org/view" 
        xsi:schemaLocation="http://schema.qcadoo.org/view http://schema.qcadoo.org/view.xsd">

      // HERE YOU PUT VIEW EXTENSIONS

</viewExtensions>

9.2. ribbon extension

Ribbon extension must be defined as:

<ribbonExtension plugin="pluginIdentifier" view="viewName">

      // HERE YOU PUT RIBBON EXTENSIONS

</ribbonExtension>

Where:

  • pluginIdentifier - is a identifier of plugin with extending view
  • viewName - is a name of extending view

Ribbon extensions are definitions of ribbon groups to add to existing ribbon. For more information about ribbon group definition see 'ribbon groups section'.

9.3. window tab extension

Window tab extension must be defined as:

<windowTabExtension plugin="pluginIdentifier" view="viewName">

      // HERE YOU PUT WINDOW TAB

</windowTabExtension>

Where:

  • pluginIdentifier - is a identifier of plugin with extending view
