Re: [openstack-dev] [horizon] Modifying existing dashboards with plugins

[Thai Q Tran]

Right, this was the suggestion I also recommended in IRC. The only issue here is if/when another plugin attempt to extend from the same panel, then we'd run into conflicts that would require manual resolution (but I'm not sure there is any other way around this).

This was discussed two summits ago, I believe the preferred way to modify the tables was to extend the panel classes, do your customization there, and use the plugin mechanism to turn off the original panel and add the newly extended panel.   

It is not straight-forward, but it will be have less risk breaking than monkey-patching the table class through the customization module.

AFAIK, the customisation is mainly restricted to panels and dashboards and
styling, as Matthias said.
I¹ll be looking into extending the workflows shortly. If you have any
ideas on implementation, feel free to suggest.
