Confluence / confiforms / IFTTT / Javascript ?

[Paul Ward]

I have been looking for some examples of using the IFTTT macro 'Run Javascript' action but the pickings are slim. I can get as far as alert('static text') but as soon as I start trying to access form fields I fall over in a flaming heap

Do I need to use JQuery or can I access fields using the 'standard' [entry.fieldname] syntax somehow?

1 or 2 pointers should see me on my way ... all I want to do is too populate a field dynamically based on content of other fields for use in a subsequent macro (email body, Jira ticket body, etc.)

You are ahead of me. I am still trying to figure out hoe to get the basic alert working per https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/CONFIFORMS/Configuring+ConfiForms+IFTTT+actions :(

[Paul Ward]

The wiki indicates to use a script fragment like below in the body:However this does not work at all, instead the following gets inserted into the page after execution:

This happens with or without the "no format" macro.

And then I simply ignored the wiki and voila! The following worked:

Previously (without the No Format macro) I could only get 1 line of JS to execute. Problem solved hopefully

[JC Zhu]

Wow, not sure how you figure that out. It worked like a charm. I was able to display the form field I needed in the alert message as well!

Thanks!

I have a requirement to create a calculator on confluence usinng confiform. It needs to preform some calculation and give the result at the time of submission.

I tried using javascript inside IFTTT, however it is not working.

Javascript outside of confiform inside ListView is working fine, however it creates for all the items within the table. 

I need to run javascript at the time of form submission. Any help?

The contents you put inside the ListView is generated for EACH row that your ListView renders

So, you need to put your shared scripts outside the ListView

Side note: do you know that you can have calculations online with ConfiForms, without a need for submit?

See the first demo https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/TEST/Page+to+demo+score+calculation+using+2+methods 

Can also call JavaScript if a "more serious" calculation is needed (what we support built-n: https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/CONFIFORMS/Supported+math+operators%2C+formulas+and+functions )

Thanks for your reply. I wnated to knwo how to add storage format code in confluence. I can add macro by searching confiform. but how do we add 

<ac:structured-macro ac:macro-id="a2d2bfea-0bba-47af-ae0a-01a323851220" ac:name="confiform" ac:schema-version="1">  <ac:parameter ac:name="formName">dynamicUpdate1</ac:parameter>  <ac:rich-text-body>    <ac:structured-macro ac:macro-id="35fe9696-b67b-4323-bdf4-295384bd7e71" ac:name="confiform-entry-register" ac:schema-version="1">      <ac:rich-text-body>        <p> </p>      </ac:rich-text-body>    </ac:structured-macro>    <p>

Do I need use any of the macro add above code to it?

By using free plugin from Atlassian https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1210722/confluence-source-editor?hosting=server&tab=overview 

The page I have referenced earlier mentions that in the page header...

Please correct me if this is the wrong place to ask, but did anyone figure out if it was possible to manipulate a field using JavaScript placed in an IFTTT macro?

Thank you,

Aaron

@aaron_gedz 

You can inject the script into the page (assuming it is not disabled in ConfiForms configuration) and that script can do just about anything you want.

Script shall be either wrapped inside the code macro or inside the noformat to ensure it stays the same and does not get some unnecessary "extras" from Confluence editor

Quick demo on such IFTTT https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/TEST/Redirect+on+save+to+dynamic+url+with+IFTTT+with+javascript

Manipulating the fields shall be done with ConfiForms Rules for Field Definition macros, as this is what you use to manipulate the UI

https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/CONFIFORMS/ConfiForms+Field+Definition+Rules

and the demo

https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/TEST/Using+ConfiForms+Field+Definition+rules+with+JavaScript+action+to+get+and+set+field+values

[aaron_gedz]

Thanks for the quick reply!

So would it not be possible to save the result of a Run JavaScript IFTTT Macro back to a field on created?

Similar to the above examples, if I had something like

rSummary = '[entry.rSummary]';

rSummary = rSummary.replace(/"[^"]+"/g, function(v) {

      return v.replace(/,/g, '');

(Then this would be the block where I would save the result of "rSummary" back to my field, or the server, or the [entry.rSummary], notation)

Or is that only possible using Confiforms Rules for Field Definition?

Thanks,

Aaron

[Alex Medved _ConfiForms_]

JavaScript works on the browser, and you can manipulate the UI with it. You cannot save "back" the field, as it is not a callback you have on "save" / before "save".

You need to "prepare" the value before it gets submitted and that can be done using the ConfiForms Rules for Field Definition macro

[aaron_gedz]

Ah, okay. Thank you for your timely response!

I appreciate your help!

For this to work properly you need to add your scripts inside the HTML macro
