How to include javascript in web-item?

How to include javascript in web-item?

I call an external .vm file from my plugin. The .vm file contains Java Script which opens a new browser and sets the focus to the new browser page.

My Atlassian-plugin.xml, which is the file you build the plugin with and which contains the <link> tags, looks like this:

{code}

<web-item key="rally_link" name="Rally Hosted Web Site" section="links_link/links_section" weight="10">

<label>Rally - Hosted Scrum Tool</label>

</web-item>

{code}

My .vm files contents look like this:

{code}

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function load()
{
newwindow = window.open("https://rally1.rallydev.com/slm/login.op", "newwindow")

history.go( -1 );

newwindow.focus();

newwindow.resizeTo(875, 320);
newwindow.moveTo(0,0);
return false;
}
</script>
</head>

{code}

*.vm files are located here on the server:

/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes/templates

Hope this helps

This was more of an informational blog of how I got this to work and not really a question. The code works as displayed. My vm file is located here on my JIRA server: /tomcat/apache-tomcat-6.0.29/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes/templates

You should be able to do it straight from the web-item....

&lt;web-item key="rally_link" name="Rally Hosted Web Site"  section="links_link/links_section" weight="10"&gt;
    &lt;label&gt;Rally - Hosted Scrum Tool&lt;/label&gt;
&lt;link linkId="rally_linkid"&gt;javascript:window.open('https://rally1.rallydev.com/slm/login.op', 'newwindow').focus();&lt;/link&gt;
&lt;/web-item&gt;

Does this still work in JIRA 6? When I try to put the javascript directly in web-item (using the example from above), when I click the button it just goes to a blank page with the following URL: http://localhost:2990/jirajavascript:window.open('https://rally1.rallydev.com/slm/login.op',%20'newwindow').focus();

How can I make this work ? I want to change name each time this button is clicked

<ac:macro ac:name="web-item">
<ac:parameter ac:name="key">selector-for-button</ac:parameter>
<ac:parameter ac:name="section">system.content.button</ac:parameter>
<ac:parameter ac:name="item">pagefavourite</ac:parameter>
<ac:parameter ac:name="force">true</ac:parameter>
<ac:macro ac:name="link">
<ac:parameter ac:name="linkId">selector-for-button</ac:parameter>
</ac:macro>
<ac:rich-text-body>s</ac:rich-text-body>
</ac:macro>

and in Javascript section, I have -

AJS.toInit(function() {
$('.selector-for-button').click(function() {
alert('Hello!');
});
})

Your template file must reside with the plugin I think.

Have you tried moving the file ?
