Include Javascript made from plugin into html button

Question

We have a plugin that generates a JavaScript file. We want to run/execute this js file from within a html button, eg:

<input type=button value="Open js" onclick="javascript:window.open('http://jira.bltelecoms.net:8080/s/en_UScyxsyn/664/8/1.0.23-beta/_/download/batch/com.atlassian.jira.collector.plugin.jira-issue-collector-plugin:issuecollector/com.atlassian.jira.collector.plugin.jira-issue-collector-plugin:issuecollector.js?collectorId=e125274b','_self')" />

We use an third party web application called Jira and Confluence, part of the Atlassian suite. It's issue tracking software and it uses a plugin to create this JavaScript file which pops up a window, similar to a lightbox, in which you can fill in data and send it. By default it makes a trigger on the side of the page, how ever we want to execute this from a standard html button. Is there a way do do this?

Answer 1

You could make a new page which includes the script and open this page on click.

Or how about this:

function loadScript() {
  var s = document.createElement('script');
  s.src = "http://jira.bltelecoms.net:8080/s/en_UScyxsyn/664/8/1.0.23-beta/_/download/batch/com.atlassian.jira.collector.plugin.jira-issue-collector-plugin:issuecollector/com.atlassian.jira.collector.plugin.jira-issue-collector-plugin:issuecollector.js?collectorId=e125274b";
  document.body.appendChild(s);
}

onclick="loadScript();"

Answer 2

I know that this is an old topic, but please see the following link:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Advanced+Use+of+the+JIRA+Issue+Collector#AdvancedUseoftheJIRAIssueCollector-Addingthecustomtriggerfunctionmanually

This shows how to set custom triggers for JIRA issue collectors. You will need a function to extend the global object ATL_JQ_PAGE_PROPS like below (jquery must be available).

    window.ATL_JQ_PAGE_PROPS = $.extend(window.ATL_JQ_PAGE_PROPS, {


    // ==== custom trigger function ====
    triggerFunction : function( showCollectorDialog ) {
        $('#feedback-button').on( 'click', function(e) {
            e.preventDefault();
            showCollectorDialog();
        });

        // add any other custom triggers for the issue collector here
    }

});

So clicking on a DOM element with id="feedback-button" (or whatever other id you want to give it) will trigger your issue collector script.

Bear in mind the issue collector will need to specify a "Custom" trigger. You can do this by editing it in JIRA.

Hope this helps
