Is there a way to customize the AlertView Controller?

You can write your own javascript in custom/include/javascript and augment the alert, by providing your own code for the functions that you want to override:

app.augment('alert',{
    /**
     * Override your own functions here
     */
});

Once done, include the new file in jsgroups and rebuild the js grouping files in Admin->Repair.

Hi Neeraja P,

thanks for the answer. I did not know about app.augment before and it seemed like a good start. But to me it looked like it overrides the whole app.alert feature with what i pass which i do not want. I wanted to add another alert-level and a new template (hbs) file to allow for other alerts like one with more than two buttons. 

The main problem was that i could not register the custom controller under custom/clients/base/views/alert/alert.js the usual way as i described earlier.

After some try and error, i could set the view class of the alert feature like this with a jsgroups file and use the normal controller style like for every other extension under custom/clients/base/.

(function (app) {
    app.events.on('app:init', function () {
        app.alert.klass = app.utils.extendClass(
            app.view.views,
            app.view.views.BaseAlertView,
            'BaseCustomAlertView', {
                // Custom Controller
                initialize: function(options) {
                    this._super('initialize', [options])

                    this.LEVEL = _.extend(this.LEVEL, {
                        CUSTOM_LEVEL: 'custom_level', // add custom/
                    });
                },
                _getAlertProps: function (options) {
                    var alertProps = this._super('_getAlertProps', [options]);
                    
                    // add handle for custom level
                }
            }
        )
    })
})(SUGAR.App);
