Jira-Plugin development-Velocity(vm) files #controlHeader and #controlFooter

Bahar Çağlar

Hi,

I am new to jira plugin development. I am designing vm pages.

I noticed that there are #controlHeader and #controlFooter tags in vm file.

Examples:

1. #controlHeader($action 'root' ${i18n.getText("common.params.cacheTimeout.name")} true $displayParameters.noHeader)

For this, I am writing a something from properties file (i18n). But, How can I set the text alignment, size, vs?

When I delete the controlHeader and write it simply with <p> tag, the text is displayed so above. (not the some position)

2. #controlFooter($action ${i18n.getText("params.linkto.desc")} $displayParameters.noHeader)

How can I use these tags? Can anyone suggest a tutorial or answer my question?

Thanks

I had a related question. The #controlHeader is a JIRA specific macro, and has to be used as is. They are not documented. If you have access to the source code you can find the macro definition, then use it in your own code. Alternatively you can override the styling in JIRA, but I don't think I'll recommend that.
