    Use extension points for Knowledge Management

    Use UI extension points to add knowledge article headers and footers to knowledge articles and to customize the email template for notifications when a knowledge article is commented on. Use scripted extension points to customize the feedback object used in the email template for notifications when a knowledge article is commented on.

    Before you begin

    The Knowledge Management Advanced plugin (com.snc.knowledge_advanced) must be activated to view the KMFeedbackNotification UI extension point and the KMFeedbackObject scripted extension point. These notifications are part of the Subscriptions feature, which is activated with this plugin.

    Role required: admin

    About this task

    Using extension points makes it easier to integrate customizations without actually altering the base code. You can extend standard base functionality using customized scripts.

    To use UI extension points in Knowledge Management, create an implementation and change the data as required. You can create multiple implementations per extension point, but for these scenarios, the use is limited to one implementation only. Example code is provided in the extension point, which can be edited, as required.

    An implementation is delivered in the base system for scripted extension points. You can change the data and add additional fields, as required.

    Procedure

    1. To use UI extension points to customize headers and footers in knowledge articles, and the email notification that is sent when a knowledge article is commented on:
      1. Navigate to System Extension Points > UI Extension Points.
      2. Click the UI extension point you want to use.
        Note:
        • Use the KMArticleViewFooter and KMArticleViewHeader UI extension points to add knowledge article headers and footers to the knowledge article view pages (kb_view.do) in Knowledge Management v3.
        • Use the KMFeedbackNotification UI extension point to customize the email template for notifications when a knowledge article is commented on.
      3. Click Create Implementation.
      4. Change the data as required.
      5. Click Update.
    2. To use scripted extension points to update the feedback object used in the email template for notifications when a knowledge article is commented on:
      1. Navigate to System Extension Points > Scripted Extension Points.
        Note: Use the KMFeedbackObject scripted extension point to customize the feedback object used in the email template for notifications when a knowledge article is commented on.
      2. In the API Name column, click global.KMFeedbackObject.
      3. In the Implementations related list, click the KMFeedbackObjectBaseImpl class.
      4. Change the data and add additional fields, as required.
