__TOC__
 
 
 
==Provide an iframe for the content area==
 
 
 
Developing an additional app with an iframe for the content area is quite easy.
 
All it needs is a manifest file manifest.json and the app file main.js.
 
 
 
Both should be located in an designated folder in the apps folder.
 
In this example the namespace com.example will be used. (apps/com.example)
 
 
 
To make use of the provided helper function io.ox/core/tk/iframe has to be required in the define section.
 
 
 
<pre class="language-javascript">
 
define('com.example/main', [
 
    'io.ox/core/tk/iframe',
 
    'gettext!com.example'
 
], function (createIframeApp, gt) {
 
 
 
    'use strict';
 
 
 
    var iframeApp = createIframeApp({
 
        name: 'com.example',
 
        title: gt('Hallo, World!'),
 
        pageTitle: gt('Hallo, World!'),
 
        domain: 'https://www.example.com/',
 
        cssNamespace: 'hallo_world',
 
        acquireToken: true
 
    });
 
 
 
    return {
 
        getApp: iframeApp.getApp
 
    };
 
});
 
</pre>
 
 
 
The following option for creating the app are available:
 
        name: 'com.example‘, // the name of the app
 
        title: gt('Hallo, World!‘), // the title of the app as used in the AppLauncher
 
        pageTitle: gt('Hallo, World!‘), // the page Title
 
        domain: 'https://www.example.com/', // the domain which should be used for the iframe
 
        cssNamespace: 'hallo_world‘ // a css class used for namespacing,
 
        acquireToken: true // generates a login token and appends it to the supplied url
 
 
 
Make sure you build the app (grunt clean default)
 
 
 
==Add app to the launcher==
 
 
 
To display an additional App in the AppLauncher, the property „'topbar': true has to be set in the manifest.json file of the app.
 
To define the order position use the index value in the manifest.json file.
 
 
 
<pre class="language-javascript">
 
{
 
    "title": "Hallo, World!",
 
    "company": "external",
 
    "icon": "/images/icon.png",
 
    "category": "Dev",
 
    "settings": false,
 
    "index": 10000,
 
    "topbar": true
 
}
 
</pre>
 
 
 
==reorder  / remove Apps from AppLauncher==
 
 
 
To define a custom order of the apps or remove an app from the AppLaucher the server-side setting topbar/order can be used to provide a comma-separated list of apps which should be available in the AppLauncher.
 
 
 
Example: io.ox/core//topbar/order=io.ox/mail,io.ox/contacts,io.ox/portal
 
 
 
An app which is not listed here ain’t available in the AppLauncher.
