You need to invoke the REST API to get additional user details. This post has some code: http://www.j-tricks.com/1/post/2012/02/some-ajs-tricks.html

can i add it directly in the java script or do i have to do any additonal settings?

When I add it as below - it returns undefiend values in the summary field.

<script type="text/javascript">

var reporter = getCurrentUserName() ;

if (document.getElementById("summary").value == "") {

document.getElementById("summary").value = reporter;

}

function getCurrentUserName()

{

var user;

AJS.$.ajax({

url: "/rest/gadget/1.0/currentUser",

type: 'get',

dataType: 'json',

async: false,

success: function(data) {

user = data.username;

}

});

return user;

}

</script>

function getCurrentUserName()
{
var user;
AJS.$.ajax({
url: "/rest/gadget/1.0/currentUser",
type: 'get',
dataType: 'json',
async: false,
success: function(data) {
user = data.username;
}
});
return user;
}

What version of JIRA is it? Yes, you can add it in in javascript. Also, can you alert the username alone?

What exactly is undefined?

@Jobin Kuruvilla [Adaptavist] This is not an answer, i am having an issue in calling a Java class method to perform a Ajax call from a VM file. I am new to this and trying to get inputs from experts.

My requirement is to call a method save() in the class SaveConfiguration.java. From various queries raised earlier by others i could see some code snippet in the VM file which does the work, using the URL variable , something like this : 

function sub(){
 alert('work');
     
  var url = AJS.params.baseURL + "/secure/ViewTermsConditions!SaveToDb.jspa";
     alert(url);
     var type = 'POST';
     var data = AJS.$("#formId").serialize();
     AJS.$.ajax({
            type: type,
            dataType: 'json',
            url: url,
            async: false,
            data: data, 
            success: function(data)
            {  alert('success');
                JIRA.Messages.showSuccessMsg(AJS.I18n.getText("lineItem.success"));
            },
      error: function(data){
    alert('error');
    
      }
          });
          
 alert('end');
  
     return false; 
 }

I want to understand how reframe the above code to call save() method in the class SaveConfiguration.java. Does it require any modification in atlassian-plugin.xml file.

Please share your comments.Thanks in advance.

Hi ,

when im using following code

<script type="text/javascript">
var user=getCurrentUserName()
alert("rrrrrr"+user)
function getCurrentUserName()
{
var user
AJS.$.ajax({
url: "/rest/gadget/1.0/currentUser",
type: 'get',
dataType: 'json',
async: false,
success: function(data) {
user = data.username;
}
});
alert(6666)
return user;
}
</script>

The username is coming as undefined, what am I doing wrong?

you can get full name using

jQuery('#header-details-user-fullname').html();
