Summary: This articles covers how to apply different changes to forms via modifying its extensionpoints and extensions.
The edit contact form of the contacts app is constructed by a set of extensionpoints. Each extensionpoint controls a single aspect - like the the input field for first name or the user picture - of the contact.
To apply modifications the id of the point and the extension is needed.
For a quick overview of the available extensionpoints and extensions you can use the browser console.
available extensionpoints
// get all available extensionpoints require('io.ox/core/extensions').keys();
// you can filter down the list by using regular expression _(require('io.ox/core/extensions').keys()).filter(function (point) { if (/io.ox\/contacts\/edit/.test(point)) { return point; } });
available extensions of a known point
// get all available extensions of a known extensionpoint require('io.ox/core/extensions').point('io.ox/contacts/edit/personal').all();
some options for modification
// replace a existing extension require('io.ox/core/extensions').point('io.ox/contacts/edit/personal').replace({ id: "first_name", draw: function () { this.append( $("<div>").addClass("title").text("Hello World!") ); } });
// modify the index to reorder a existing extension require('io.ox/core/extensions').point('io.ox/contacts/edit/personal').replace({ id: "first_name", index: 200 });
