announcement banner customization

[Fulvio Barbella]

Hi there,

Is it possible to add a javascript function in the announcement banner?

I'd like to add a function that show a dialog box before exit browser.

(My goal is to "force" users log daily work on issues)

Thanks

Hi Fulvio,

sorry but on the cloud JIRA you can't add javascript to the announcement banner.

You can not put in place this requirement.

Hi Fulvio,

you can do that. You need just to add tag script within annoncement

<script>

jQuery().ready(function() {
....
<YOUR CODE HERE>
....
});

</script>

Hope this helps,

Fabio

That's too bad :(

Thanks for the help anyway :)

There are a lot of limitation using JIRA Cloud.

You're welcome,

Hi Fabio, 3 years later, is there any way for admins to include custom javascript in Jira Cloud, as you can in server? Is there any policy against add-ins that might allow this? I really think it should be at the organizations discretion to customize the UI this way, and not having that ability will make migration a challenge.

Hi @Chris M_ ,

unfortunately you can't do that.

Boo!  I would like to have the ability in cloud to change the background color of the announcement section to Red. We use this for IT outages so that when we get people creating a ticket they will know there currently is an outage that our IT support desk is working on. 

Is this possible in cloud?

Hey Marc, you might appreciate the tools available with the Power Scripts for Jira add-in, particularly the SIL Panels and this Live Fields function lfExecuteJS - Power Scripts™ for Jira 4.0 - Confluence (atlassian.net)

This kind of tool is going to be crucial to making any kind of transition from Server possible for many growing businesses.

-edit-

Looking at the documentation closer, it looks like cloud support may not be in place for this yet (if at all possible). This is incredibly frustrating.

Hi Fabio,

I've tried the code you've posted, but I can still see the entire code :/

It seems javascript's not working properly on my Jira Cloud :(

[Fulvio Barbella]

Hmm, I've tried it with this code:

<script>
jQuery().ready(function(){
window.onbeforeunload = function (e) {    e = e || window.event;

    // For IE and Firefox prior to version 4
    if (e) {        e.returnValue = 'Sure?';
    }

    // For Safari
    return 'Sure?';
};
});</script>

but it shows the entire code :/

[Fabio Racobaldo _Herzum_]

Hi Fulvio,

if you try this code you can figure out that this approach works

<script>

alert("Script works");
</script>

I had not chance to test your script 

Ciao,

Fabio

Hi Fabio,

not yet, I'm goin' to test it in a couple of hours :)

Thanks

Thanks Fabio,

is this code going to work properly?

<script>
jQuery().ready(function(){
window.onbeforeunload = function (e) {    e = e || window.event;

    // For IE and Firefox prior to version 4
    if (e) {        e.returnValue = 'Sure?';
    }

    // For Safari
    return 'Sure?';
};
});
</script>

Maybe I should format the dialog in Jira style :/

Hi Fulvio,

In Jira Cloud it seems they've decided to htmlencode the whole banner string so that html is not parsed by the browser. They could allow this by omitting this step, instead we'll have to wait until automation add-in vendors get a stable version of the UI toolkit so we can emulate some of the functions we need. Really I'd like to see a system option that allows html & js in the banner instead, even if it is "at your own risk."
