JIRA Plugin Development | How to import image file on velocity file.

[Tarr]

Hi Atlassian Answers,

I'm trying to make jira plugin. I want to image file in my velocity files but I couldn't do it.

The following is my way about it. Please, tell me how to import image files.

■atlassian-plugin.xml

<web-panel ...>

<resource name="view" type="velocity" location="post-to-yammer-button.vm" />

<resource type="download" name="images/" location="images/yam_btn.gif"/>

</web-panel>

■post-to-yammer-button.vm

...

<img src="images/yam_btn.gif">

...

■src path

dev-posttoyammer/src/main/resources/images/yam_btn.gif

(plugin home directory is dev-posttoyammer)

This should work:

<resource type="download" name="images/" location="images/"/>

<img src="$req.contextPath/download/resources/PLUGIN_KEY:RESOURCE_KEY/images/yam_btn.gif">

Hi Conrad,

Thank you for your reply. I tried to modify with your advice but I couldn't work it. Where is my misstake?

■atlassian-plugin.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<atlassian-plugin key="${project.groupId}.${project.artifactId}"
	name="${project.name}" plugins-version="2">
	<plugin-info>
		<description>${project.description}</description>
		<version>${project.version}</version>
		<vendor name="${project.organization.name}" url="${project.organization.url}" />
	</plugin-info>
	


	<web-panel name="PostToYammerButton" i18n-name-key="post-to-yammer-button.name"
		key="post-to-yammer-button" location="atl.jira.view.issue.right.context"
		weight="1000">
		<description key="post-to-yammer-button.description">The PostToYammerButton Plugin
		</description>
		 <context-provider class="authe.IssueInfoProvider"/>
		<resource name="view" type="velocity" location="post-to-yammer-button.vm" />
		<label key="post-to-yammer-button.title" />
		<resource type="download" name="images/" location="images/"/>
	</web-panel>
	<resource type="i18n" name="i18n" location="atlassian-plugin" />

</atlassian-plugin>

Hm, I don't know. This works for me in a project-tabpanel. Did you deploy the plugin after your changes in atlassian-plugin.xml? What is the URL of the image and the return code?

Hi all, I'm facing the exact same issue. Please post, if you got the solution.
