How to include your own javascript file in Connections?

Question

I try include multiple javascript files in IBM Connections like jQuery or other library.

i find this documentation : http://infolib.lotus.com/resources/connections/4.0/doc/en_us/ic4_p4.html#t_customize_extend_js

but it doesn't work.

Please give more details than "it doesn't work.". What did you try? What *did* happen? Were there any errors? — Frances McMullin, May 23 '13 at 08:06

Put e.g. the following line into the footer.jsp in your customization directory.

   <script type="text/javascript" src="https://<pathtolib>/jquery.js"></script>

Be sure to turn on CONNECTIONS_CUSTOMIZATION_DEBUG (WebSphere variable), otherwise you have to restart your AS everytime you make a change.

Take a look in the SystemOut.log for footer.jsp if it is loaded again when you change it.

You can only distribute Dojo (pre-AMD) modules with the OSGi bundle approach outlined in the product documentation.

To include third party libraries, you must include a <script> tag in the customizable header.jsp or footer.jsp. To achieve best front-end performance it's best to include scripts at the bottom of the page, therefore footer.jsp is the right location.
