Introduction
This document describes the steps to create a plugin to change the UI labels and API error messages. This guide is intended for developers or technical IT staff.
Sample plugin download
Download the sample plugin and extract the downloaded plugin zip into a directory. Henceforth the exploded plugin directory is referred as $PLUGIN_HOME
.
Resources files
All labels and messages are stored in the resource files. There are two resource files:
en.js
: The default English resource file for user interface labels/messages (e.g. fields displayed in a page).messages.properties
: The default English resource file for messages generated by the backend (e.g. an unique constraint violation error).
Changing UI labels
You can create your own en.js
file in your plugin and override the resources you need to change.
