How it Works
This example application uses a combination of extensions to customize the chat and meeting actions in HCL Verse. The Disable Sametime extension does not have any required properties but plays an essential role in this customization. It removes the Sametime Chat and Meeting actions from the Verse Important to Me bar and Business Cards. This allows the latter two extensions to override those actions.
Additionally, there are two Templated Widget extensions; one to replace the Sametime Chat action and the other for the Sametime Meeting action, distinguished by the locator property. As can be seen in the demo above, the Sametime Chat and Meeting Icons are infact the ones specified in the extensions. Clicking on the new chat icon will open to the sample chat-service.html web application and the new meeting will open to the specified URL.
The templated link extension for the meeting action leverages the extension's template variable to add a user's email as a query parameter. Query parameters are an easy way to pass data through a URL. Take a look at the Templated Link extension documentation for more information.
