Refresh a Gadget with onclick function

[Ariel Rosa]

Hello guys,

I need a way to refresh the whole gadget with an onclick button on the gadget screen, is that even possible?

I tried things like:  <a onclick="gadget.showView(true);" class="refreshbutton">Refresh</a>

But got no results.

Are there any other functions I can use to solve that or any other ways to do it?

Thanks in advance.

Yes! You can try to use this code in gadgets\yourgadget.xml
You can see example sources on https://github.com/DmitryMiroshnichenko/jira-mailru-a1-plantasks-gadget-plugin/blob/master/src/main/resources/gadgets/a1-plantasks.xml

view: {
                            enableReload: true,
                        	onResizeAdjustHeight: true,
                            
							template: function(args) {
                                var gadget = this;
                                gadget.getView().html(args.restresult.html);
                                
								
								// reload function
								function reloadGadget()
                                {
									  if (document.activeElement.tagName == "IFRAME")
									  {
										document.getElementById(document.activeElement.id).contentWindow.location.reload(true);
									  }
									   else
									   {
										window.location.reload(true);
									   }
                                }
								// reloading after user change
                                jQuery("[name='a1-plantasks-all-users']").change(function () {
                                	reportUser = jQuery("[name='a1-plantasks-all-users']").val();
                                    jQuery.cookie('a1_report_user', reportUser, { expires: 2 });
                                	reloadGadget();
                                });
								// reloading after project change
                                jQuery("#tg-project-selector").change(function () {
                                	selectedProject = jQuery("#tg-project-selector :selected").val();
                                    jQuery.cookie('tg_selected_project', selectedProject, { expires: 365 });
                                	reloadGadget();
                                });
								
								// reloading on click
                                jQuery("#a1-plantasks-show-my-dash").click(function () {
                                    jQuery.cookie('a1_report_user', '', { expires: 2 })
                                	reloadGadget();
                                });

Hi Dmitry, I've putter the 'window.location.reload(true);' directly in the onclick and it worked really well, thanks a bunch for the help! :D
