Objects and soy templates?

[Sune Mølgaard]

A customer wants a change to the recently-updated-dashboard macro. Our previous approach was to edit the velocity file - specifically creating a new change set and populating it with a subset of the change items, based on the user's group memberships.

Since the macro has been updated to a soy template in recent versions, my question is how to do this in soy. For instance, can I get a list of groups that the user is a member of ($userAccessor.getGroupsAsList($action.remoteUser) in velocity)?

It looks like the recently updated dashboard macro is a little bit more complicated now. It can actually be rendered in two different places - parts of it may be rendered on the client, as you say, by dashboard-macros.js, but the initial render of the macro still takes place on the server in com.atlassian.confluence.plugins.macros.dashboard.recentupdates.RecentlyUpdatedContentMacro.

You could also look at changing the soy template itself - recently-updated-dashboard.soy

Incidentally, I had gone ahead and done my desired chanegs in RecentlyUpdatedContentService.java, but since that, essentially, is one of your recommendations, I shall mark your answer as accepted.

Thank you :-)

Anyone, please?

Incidentally, I have found the dashboard-macros.js file that should seem to be the one sending the data to the template - it just doesn't quite seem to work with my attempted changes.

Would anyone happen to know how I can turn on debugging for whatever part of Confluence that touches that .js file so I can see if/where it fails?
