AJS.$ equivalent for the ".each" function

[CharlesH]

I've been updating some of my older user macros which called jQuery directly AJS.$ as recommended here: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONFKB/How+to+Use+JavaScript+in+Confluence

Some of my code uses the .each function of jQuery.

If I replace "jQuery.each() {...}" with "AJS.$.each() {...}" then a Velocity Parser Exception error is thrown and the macro doesn't work.

If I try "AJS.each() {...}" then there's no sign of an error, but the macro doesn't work.

I've checked this forum and the documentation (https://developer.atlassian.com/display/AUI/AJS+helper+functions) but found no examples of how the .each function can be used from AJS.$.

Anyone come across this before and found a solution?

Thanks,

Charles

Those examples both use AJS.$.each which I've tried, resulting in an error.

I'm running Confluence 4.2.1, so perhaps the AJS library offers support for .each in more recent versions?

I notice other users have been having similar trouble. In this case with the .ajax method - https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/131487/ajax-calls-breaking-confluence

Neither .ajax nor .each work for me. I get a similar error to the one posted in that topic.

can you share the error message ?

The error message recorded in the Confluence log file is as follows:

Caused by: org.apache.velocity.exception.ParseErrorException: Encountered "," at getRenderedContent[line 86, column 30]

The line number & position given relates to this line in the user macro:

Old version - works fine:

86              jQuery.each(rows, function(index, row) {
87                row.sortKey = sortKey(AJS.$(row).children('td').eq(column));
88              });


New version - errors:

86              AJS.$.each(rows, function(index, row) {
87                row.sortKey = sortKey(AJS.$(row).children('td').eq(column));
88              });
