How to load web resources in velocity template?

[Влад Демидик]

Hello, i develop plugin for jira.

I have following resources in my xml file. Can someone show example how to use it in velocity template?

Thanks!

Hello,

You should add to your velocity template something like this:

 $webResourceManager.requireResourcesForContext("pluginkey:jira-plugin-resources")

You can find the plugin key of your plugin in the add-on sections, after you installed your add-on.

@Alexey Matveev looks you've mixed up requireResourcesForContext and requireResource

$webResourceManager.requireResourcesForContext takes context value as a parameter. In this case it will be "jira-plugin"

$webResourceManager.requireResource takes resource key in format "pluginkey:modulekey".

Thanks. And after how to require it in template?

I should call another function? (just a resource name doesn't work)

@Mikhail_Kopylov thank you. It must be

$webResourceManager.requireResources("pluginkey:jira-plugin-resources")

You do not need to add the script tag. Your script is already loaded. Try to put alert into your js file and you will see the alert pop-up.

$webResourceManager.requireResource("pluginkey:jira-plugin-resources") actually :)

Hi Alexey,

Found this closely relevant to what I am trying to do, however slightly different.

We have a velocity template which we are calling on the click of a Custom banner button on confluence page.

We are able to render the velocity template with whatever UI we designed, however the JScript which we have defined in plugin.xml as a web resource, is not getting loaded and hence not getting applied to the velocity template. 

Any idea here?
