Before starting any of the walkthroughs please note the following:

The custom path is set using the customXML key at the root web.config file. The value can either be set to an empty string (in which case the custom configuration feature is off) or set to a relative path from the OfficeClip home directory.

The entry for custom path is defined in the root level web.config file as:

    <AppSettings> 
    ..... 
        <add key="customXML" value="custom/custom.xml" /> 
    ... 
    </AppSettings> 
                        

The value in the above key determines the following things:

1. The name of the custom index file, which is "custom.xml" in the above example.
2. The path where the custom.xml file is located.

All of the following walkthroughs are available for testing in the custom\API folder. By default, the walkthroughs are not set to enabled in the custom.xml file in the custom project. To enable one or more of them, set active = "Y". and run iisreset from the windows command prompt.

Note: It is important to note that the custom directory will need to be a subdirectory of the OfficeClip root directory. This is because it is referred in the programs as the relative url from the OfficeClip root. For the purpose of the walkthroughs it will be assumed that OfficeClip is installed in the directory c:\program files\officeclip\7\officeclip directory.
