Introduction

First, we will create a very simple dashlet and we will extend that to be configurable.
Copy these files into the "tomcat\webapps\share\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\site-webscripts\org\alfresco\components\dashlets" folder.
HelloWorldDashlet.get.html.ftl

HelloWorldDashlet.get.desc.xml

HelloWorldDashlet.get.js

The output of the code above is:

Now we will configure the "welcome" message. For this, we need to make changes to this HelloWorldDashlet.
Add a configuration file for HelloWorldDashlet as "HelloWorldDashlet.get.config.xml".
HelloWorldDashlet.get.config.xml

Make the following change in the HelloWorldDashlet.get.js file.
  1. Read the greeting message from the "HelloWorldDashlet.get.config.xml" file.
  2. Add the greeting message into the model.
