how do I actually create a dialog in my plugin?

Question

So I'm trying to create a confluence plugin. All I want it to do for now is to show a button, and when you click on that button it displays a dialog window.
So I created a web item module for the button, and I also managed to display a flag when clicking on the button. But now I want a dialog2 instead. The documentation has js and html in it. But where do I actually define the HTML content of my dialog? I've tried using a soy plugin, but that didn't work at all.

Hi Jonas,

Please refer to the documentation for implementation of the dialog2 in the atlassian plugin.

https://docs.atlassian.com/aui/7.9.9/docs/dialog2.html

The html containing section tag(mentioned in the above link), can be placed in a vm file and the corresponding javascript call can be placed in a javascript file.

Hope this helps!

Thanks,

Santwana

Hello Jonas,

That is great you’re looking to create a plugin/add-on for Confluence.

While this is a general support Community, there are not as many developers that scroll through the questions here. You might be better served to create a post over in the Developer Community.

Another reference is Developer.Atlassian.com.
