When you package and deploy a customized version of the Genero Browser Client, a suffix is appended to the version number. This suffix lets users know that the version of the GBC being used is a customized version. By default, the suffix is "c",and it appears in:

• the version number displayed in the Info dialog of the GBC interface.
• the name of the customization zip file.

This procedure shows you how to change the suffix from the default (c) to a value of your own choosing.

Before you begin

• You have a customization directory, gbc-project-dir/customization/customization-project-dir with a config.json file. If the file does not exist, create it.

TIP: Use a copy of the config.json file provided in the sample customization folder as a starting point.

Update the config.json file

Edit gbc-project-dir/customization/customization-project-dir/config.json to define customizationSuffix in the root object of the config.json file of your customization, as in this example:

{
    "customizationSuffix" : "mySuffix",
    "themes": [{
      "name": "default",
      "title": "Default",
      "uses": ["platform/desktop", "common"]
    },
    ... additional themes would be listed here ...
  ]
}

Effect on version information displayed

With customizationSuffix set to mySuffix, the version information displayed now displays:

• Version 1.00.xx.mySuffix, where xx represents the build number.

Effect on GBC customization package file

With customizationSuffix set to mySuffix, the zip package name (created with the gbc build option --create-zip) now includes the suffix. The zip package file name is:

• fjs-gbc-1.00.xx.mySuffix-buildyyyyyyyyyyy-customization_sample.zip, where xx represents the build number and yyyyyyyyyyy represents the build timestamp.
