Manipulating CSS in Jira's activity stream via announcement banner

[skorzinetzki]

Hello,

we are trying to introduce voting feature for just one project. In this case, I need to find a way to hide every vote functionality by default, but activate for the mentioned project.

I'm running into problems by hiding the vote button in activity stream. I don't want to manipulate Jira's source code to get this work (explained here: http://blog.networkedcollaboration.com/2012/03/19/editing-jira-activity-stream-css).

When I use this code in the announcement banner, I can hide the button by adding an css to the header of every iframe:

AJS.$(document).ready(function() {	
	AJS.$("input#testbutton").click(function () {
		AJS.$("iframe").each(function (index) {
			var frm = this.contentWindow.document;
			var otherhead = frm.getElementsByTagName("head")[0];
			var link = frm.createElement("link");
			link.setAttribute("rel", "stylesheet");
			link.setAttribute("type", "text/css");
			link.setAttribute("href", "vote.css");
			otherhead.appendChild(link);
		});
	});
});

As you can see, this code gets triggered by a click on a button, placed in the announcement banner, too. So after finishing load of page and iframes, I can hide the vote button by firing this click event of the testbutton.

What does not work is executing this code on every iframe's load event:

AJS.$(document).ready(function() {
	AJS.$("iframe").load(function() {
		var frm = this.contentWindow.document;
		var otherhead = frm.getElementsByTagName("head")[0];
		var link = frm.createElement("link");
		link.setAttribute("rel", "stylesheet");
		link.setAttribute("type", "text/css");
		link.setAttribute("href", "vote.css");
		otherhead.appendChild(link);
	});
});

I tested the load event in a single html file, that includes two iframes. There it works quite good! Placing this in Jira's announcement banner nothing happens. I tried to use the load event to raise an alert message, this does not show up, either. So my conclusion is, that the load event is not fired.

Anyone with a suggestion here? :)

Thank you in advance!

I finished up with the following solution/workaround:

1. create function that hides the vote button (see above)
2. call this function after a timeout of x seconds, where x is 0.1, 0.5, 1, 5 seconds

this is not a good one , but a solution, that works.
