Example

The following example describes the process of adding and granting access to a simple custom

tabbed page (customTab.jsp) with links to two other pages (customHello.jsp and

customGoodbye.jsp). The process involves the following steps:

1. Create the three JSPs and copy them to the …classes\resources\lmm directory.

2. Create a Help mapping file (ch_customtab.html) and corresponding content file

(ch_customtab_b.html) to be displayed when the user clicks the context-sensitive Help

icon ? on any of these pages, and copy these files to the English-language course

administrator Help directory (...Help\en\courseadmin).

3. Add the permissions to the LMS database necessary to display the tabbed page and links

(Custom_Tab, Say_Hello, and Say_Goodbye).

4. Edit the (English-language) properties file that stores resource strings to include text to be

displayed in the three JSPs and in the roles list to be populates with the new permissions.

5. Edit navigation.xml to include definitions for the three JSPs.

6. Grant the new permissions to users whom you want to be able to display the JSPs. You

can do this either by modifying an existing role or roles or by creating a role with these

permissions and then assigning that role to users of your choice.

1. Copy the JSPs

The main page (customTab.jsp) looks like this:

<%---------------------------------------------------------------------
