Reference Decorations and New Fuji Icons

[Dan Alexander1]

Hi Folks,

We're scheduled to move our instance to Fuji in November, and in our current development to identify bugs and issues with the upgrade, I've come across an issue with Reference Decorations and UI Macros.

In Dublin (Current) - we were using code like the following:

<g:reference_decoration id="${jvar_n}" field="${ref}"
   onclick="showRelatedList('${ref}'); "
   title="${gs.getMessage('Show related incidents')}" image="images/icons/tasks.gifx"/>

In Fuji - we've learned there is a new button class/library for icons - and found some revised code online, swapping out reference_decoration for an 'a' tag.

<a>
<span
   id="${jvar_n}"
   onclick="showRelatedList('${ref}')"
   name="${jvar_n}"
   aria-label="${HTML:gs.getMessage('Show related incidents')}"
   title="${gs.getMessage('Show related incidents')}"
   alt="${gs.getMessage('Show related incidents')}"
   class="icon ref-button icon-add btn btn-default btn-ref">
</span>
</a>

While this works, we've noticed the functionality is different. For example, since the move to the 'a' tag, the icon is ALWAYS visible. Even if no value is filled out in that reference field. So my question is, in Fuji -- is reference_decoration no longer supported? If it IS supported still, how do you leverage the new icon classes? If it IS NOT supported - how do we re-add the functionality back to only show visible when a value is set.

Thanks all!

Hi Daniel,

Is that first snippet from your UI Macro 'reference_decoration' ? Here is what my UI Macro code looks like:

<a id="${jvar_id}" name="${jvar_id}" onclick="${jvar_onclick}" style="display: none" class="reference_decoration">
   <span title="${jvar_title}" alt="${jvar_title}" class="${jvar_class}" />

Previously the class= was hard coded above.

Now I can pass a class into the macro above, see example below:

<g:reference_decoration id="${jvar_n}" field="${ref}" 
   onclick="clearCurrentAssignments('${ref}'); "
   title="${gs.getMessage('Clear the current assigned to and assigned group')}" class="btn btn-default btn-ref icon-workflow-rejected"/>

Let me now if that helps!

Hi Dan,

The <span> tag doesn't come in the Fuji upgrade, correct me if I am wrong? I can see the span tag in my Personal "Helsinki" instance.

Do you mean we would have to add the <span> tag?

I just have the below in our instance:

  <a id="${jvar_id}" name="${jvar_id}"

      onclick="${jvar_onclick}"

      style="visibility: hidden" class="reference_decoration btn btn-default">

  <img border="0" src="${jvar_image}" title="${jvar_title}" alt="${jvar_title}"/>

</a>
