Launch a JIRA Issue Collector via GoogleAppsScript

Peter Lee_lm8e73

Hi,

We use google sites for teams to expose what they do, and I'd like to hook up a Jira Issue Collector vis GoogleAppsScript to a google site page.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Because I can't edit the google site page directly I don't think its possible to edit the html of the page or modifying the javascript to trigger the issue collector on button click etc.

In order to use GoogleAppsScript to allow embedding of a Jira issue collector on a page you create a Web App that renders the desired HTML.

1) Create a new googleappscript

2) Within the Code.gs

add a handler for a get request

function doGet()
{
 return HtmlService.createHtmlOutputFromFile('example.html');
}

3) Add an example.html with the relevant html build from the jira custom issue collector html

eg.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<!-- your custom issue collector here -->

</html>

4) Just inside the setup of the function set a timeout to trigger the issue collector after screen load

"triggerFunction": function(showCollectorDialog) {

setTimeout(function() {
 if(showCollectorDialog !== undefined)
 showCollectorDialog();
 }, 100);

...
}

 5) Publish the GoogleAppsScript as a webapp

 This can now be added to a new google site via embedded URL etc.
