  • If you have not customised the apps.jsp file for your connections environment, please make a copy of the file.

    • You can access the file from:

      <WAS_home>/profiles/<profile_name>/installedApps/<cell_name>/Homepage.ear/homepage.war/nav/templates/menu

    • Paste the copy into the common\nav\templates subdirectory in the customization directory:

      <installdir>\data\shared\customization\common\nav\templates\menu\apps.jsp

  • To add the Huddo Boards app links add the following lines towards the bottom of the apps.jsp file before the </table> element

    --%><tr><%--
  --%><th scope="row" class="lotusNowrap"><%--
    --%><img width="16" src="https://[CONNECTIONS_URL]/boards/img/logo-small.png" /><%--
    --%><a href="https://[CONNECTIONS_URL]/boards/auth/connections"><%--
      --%><strong><fmt:message key="connections.component.name.kudos.boards"/></strong><%--
    --%></a><%--
