AEM 6.4 - Extending AEM Inbox

Hi,

I would like to extend AEM Inbox functionality available under: http://localhost:4502/aem/inbox and add additional column with information about workflow initiator. I have made an investigation and checked the definition of columns in Inbox depends on two things:

* crx nodes created under: /libs/cq/inbox/content/inbox/jcr:content/views/list/columns - base on defined nodes proper titles of columns are displayed

* implementation of /libs/cq/inbox/gui/components/inbox/inboxitem/list component that is referenced in datasource node: /libs/cq/inbox/content/inbox/jcr:content/views/list/datasource

Unfortunately all these definitions are in Internal Area of CRX that should not be overloaded. I have noticed that the only not internal area of inbox implementation is /libs/cq/inbox/extensions, I have tried to use it to extend the part of the view by adding proper nodes looking on  /libs/cq/inbox/extensions/actions folder as example however it did not work.

As there is no official documentation how to work with extensions folder I wanted to check if someone here has any suggestions how Inbox can be extended properly on 6.4.

Best regards,

Kamil

This is not really recommended use case. If you make changes and break something - AEM support will not support it.
