Customizing UI elements of the Authoring Template

Wow, its quite useful feature!!!. Now we have a ability to change the UI of the authoring field using custom JSP.


Benefits:-

1. Change the UI look and feel as per customer input
2. Restriction on the input value
3. Opportunity to write business logic on fly


Steps to do:-

1. Edit authoring template
2. Go to Default Content Properties
3. Click on "page icon"(properties) next to the field for which you need to customize the UI
4. Give the JSP path in the Custom JSP field. For ex: "/jsp/html/customUIField.jsp"
5. Place the custom jsp at "/wcm/wp_profile/installedApps/node/PA_WCM_Authoring_UI.ear/ilwwcm-authoring.war/jsp/html"
