You can set preferences in the IBM Sales Center user interface
to make working with orders, customers, and stores easier. This page explains
how to remove a preference page.
About this task
To remove a preference page, you need to associate it with an
activity that is never enabled. All of the IBM Sales Center preference pages
are associated with activities. These activities are defined in the com.ibm.commerce.telesales.ui.impl.activities fragment
manifest file (fragment.xml). The activities are enabled if they belong to
an activity set that is included in the active role. Sales Center activity
sets and roles are declared in the com.ibm.commerce.telesales.ui.impl.roles fragment
manifest file.
To remove one of the IBM Sales Center preference pages:
Procedure
- Create a new plug-in to
contain your customizations (in our examples, called 'extensions').
- Locate the extension definition in the Eclipse platform extension
point org.eclipse.ui.preferencePages and note its ID. The IBM Sales Center
preference pages declarations are in the plugin.xml file in the com.ibm.commerce.telesales.ui.impl plug-in.
- To prevent a preference page activity from being enabled, it must
be removed from all of the activity sets that include it. For example, to
remove the communication preference page activity com.ibm.commerce.telesales.communicationsPreferencePageActivity,
add the following extension definitions to your plug-in's plugin.xml file:
<extension point="com.ibm.commerce.telesales.activitySets">
<activitySet
id="extensions.activitySet.adminPreferencePages"
label="%adminPreferencePagesActivitySetName">
<activity
activityId="com.ibm.commerce.telesales.autologonPreferencePageActivity">
</activity>
<!-- Remove the communication preference page activity
<activity
activityId="com.ibm.commerce.telesales.communicationPreferencePageActivity">
</activity>
-->
<activity
activityId="com.ibm.commerce.telesales.productImagesPreferencePageActivity">
</activity>
<activity
activityId="com.ibm.commerce.telesales.osgiAgentPreferencePageActivity">
</activity>
<activity
activityId="com.ibm.commerce.telesales.installUpdatePreferencePageActivity">
</activity>
</activitySet>
</extension>
- In the system configurator, assign the base activity set ID to
the customized activity set ID:
com.ibm.commerce.telesales.activitySet.adminPreferencePages=extensions.activitySet.adminPreferencePages
