may I ask what is the general purpose of these buttons that you would like to add and where (in the GUI) would you like to add them? if you would like to add buttons to existing main-tab(s) / sub- tab(s), the way to go is to write a UI Plugin that does that (especially if you intend these buttons to do something very specific for your needs). If you would like to add these buttons elsewhere, you will need to follow Greg's instructions and dig into the code for the specific needed location.
I want to commit changes to the engine...
note that we can push into the code only things that make sense to include in oVirt (i.e. things that will be useful for typical oVirt users); again, if these buttons will do something very specific for your own needs, you should definitely utilize the UI Plugins infrastructure instead.
... and make few tweaks for personal use...
if these tweaks are in the "branding" area (i.e. if you want to change main color themes, top-left image on the top banner, etc), then writing your own branding [1] is the way to go [you can override only part of the branding (depending on what you would like to tweak), you don't actually need to come up with a complete alternative branding]. ---- Thanks, Einav [1] http://www.ovirt.org/Feature/Branding ----- Original Message -----

There's not one html file like that, since we use GWT [1]. However, if you search for *.ui.xml files, you'll find all the GWT UIBinder files. That's the place to start for simple UI tweaks. The application is partitioned into small components, so you'll have to do some digging. For example, each dialog has its own ui.xml file -- so if you want to tweak a specific dialog, you'll need to find the right file. Feel free to post questions about those to engine-devel and we can help you out.

Hey thanks on the previous issue. Also is there a way i can access WebAdmin.Html to add custom buttons and make few tweaks for personal use? I just cant find that file after using git.

if you are trying to hook into UI-specific events, it sounds like you will need to write an oVirt UI Plugin [1] in order to do that. However, I believe that the oVirt UI Plugins infrastructure doesn't support hooking to events such as "tab x was selected" and/or "button b was clicked". It does allow you to add new (custom) tabs/sub-tabs/buttons of your own, and there is a chance that it allows you to hook into events such as 'row x was selected in the grid'.
@Vojtech will know better. Vojtech?
if you are trying to hook into engine events (e.g. you want to run a script every time a VM is started in oVirt, no matter if the user started it by clicking the 'run' button in the oVirt- engine webadmin, or invoked a REST API request, or an SDK command), then it will require some sort of an "engine-plugin" infrastructure that we don't have at the moment AFAIK. there is a chance that for some of the events you will be able to utilize the VDSM hooks (at the Host level) [2].

I want to commit changes to the engine by adding some bash scripts. the scripts should be invoked once a button or tab is selected in the webadmin portal by the user.
can someone guide on achieving this.
