Open source the UI JavaScript App?

Post by 0smium »

It would be awesome if the BCS client app were open sourced. I'd like to expand the UI to add some features, rather than build a new one, even with the new well-documented API for the 4.x firmware.

Obviously the uglified code I get from the browser is pretty useless.

The BCS is not an open source product.

There are plenty of ways to have a customized BCS UI. Have you looked at hooking into the UI with the "Advanced JS" option? You can also use something like "Fiddler" to save all JS and HTM files from a BCS session and edit the base UI and even serve it up from a stand-alone server. After that, you have the API which would allow you to do anything you wanted. The built-in BCS interface uses the exact same API for all communication to the BCS. Several ways to skin this cat.
