Jira and Velocity - form field

b

Hi,

I'm newbie in JIRA topic, I trying to create simple form.

I have following class

public class ManageTemplates extends JiraWebActionSupport {

	public ManageTemplates(FieldScreenRendererFactory fieldScreenRendererFactory,
			JiraAuthenticationContext jiraAuthenticationContext) {
		
		String issueId = ((String[])ActionContext.getParameters().get("id"))[0];
		MutableIssue issue = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().getIssueObject(Long.valueOf(issueId));
		
		
	}
}

Class is connected with .vm file via atlassian-plugin.xml config file. Here's my .vm

<html>
<head>
	<meta name="decorator" content="atl.admin"/>
    <title>Create X</title>
</head>
<body class="nl">
	<div class="content intform">
	</div>
</body>
</html>

How could I insert user picker to form? Any code examples?

Hi,

I do not knowv how to reuse standard user picker - you must check source code, but why you read parameter 'id' in so complicated way. You should define property id + getter/setter in action class and set it in request as some hidden form field or directly in url.

private String issueId;

public String getIssueId() {
  return issueId;
}
	
public void setIssueId(String issueId) {
  this.issueId = issueId;
}

Also you can define other methods in action (not only overwrite execute), eg. to list all JIRA users

public Collection<User> getAllUsers() {
  return UserUtils.getAllUsers();
}

Than iterate throught results in vm tempate and create eg. select element.

<select id="jiraUser" name="jiraUser">
#foreach ($user in $action.getAllUsers())
  <option value="$user.name">$user.displayName</option>
#end
</select>
