There‘s an API for that..., built custom widgets, integrate applications into your Intranet with IBM Connections and XCC - Web Content and Custom App Extension for IBM Connections. See http://connections-apps.com/xcc for more information.

1. There‘s an API for that...
Build Custom Widgets
Integrate any Application
XCC API
coming in XCC next

2. Application Integration with XCC
Integration of custom application with XCC has been possible with the
use of
HTML / Clipping Widget
ATOM / RSS Feed Widget
Custom JavaScript
Custom CSS
However, up to now it was not possible to create and register Custom
Widgets that have their own UI for setting the widget properties. With
XCC next we will add a XCC API that supports Custom Widgets.

3. XCC Custom Widgets API
Create Custom Widgets that retrieves and
writes Content (HTML, XML, JSON) from / to
any application via HTTP/HTTPS
Register and update Custom Widgets
conveniently with uploading custom.js
Create Widget Custom Editor or use Default
Editor for IBM Connection sources.
Utilize Bootstrap, jQuery, Font Awesome
and numerous XCC elements for fast
development

5. Custom Widget Development
Custom Widgets can be developed and
tested on a non-public page
Development of Custom Widgets can
not break existing functionality
(if you follow a few simple rules)
Development of Custom Widgets does not
require IBM Connections or XCC to restart
Custom Widgets
with
Custom Widget Properties
(We will publish a sample soon
showing what a Custom Widget
Properties can look like, e.g.
Integration of
Forms Experience Builder –

7. XCC Custom Widget Perspective
XCC Customers, Business Partners and
TIMETOACT will develop a lot of custom
widgets.
TIMETOACT will encourage customers to
share custom widgets among themselves,
creating an open source widget exchange.
Over time TIMETOACT will make more and
more of these custom widgets available as
native part of XCC.
