    Cannot really make it work. The form is not modified as described here. I believe that I have installed and setup the script to work for my jira instance url, but I don't see anything happening. Any hints?

    Cheers,

      Well, almost perfect. The script probably needs further modifications in order to work with the Resolve/Close Issue form. I might try to correct this as an exercise. We are using 3.4.1.

    Installs nicely for me with Firefox 1.5 and greasemonkey, and I see the extra forms, but a) there's no way to submit the form on 'Start Progress' (enter doesn't work), b) on the Resolve Issue page, the form replaces the 'Assign to' drop-down, and when the page is submitted, JIRA complains that 'Issues must be assigned'.

    Oh well, it's still cool in concept

      Did some more debugging. Looks like there is a bug in the current verion of Greasemonkey (see here: http://www.google.com/search?q=+%22image+is+not+a+constructor%22) that prevents the script from creating the dummy image which makes the LogWork GET request. One could probably come up with a workaround using ajax-like techniques, but that seems a lot of trouble. I'll look into this more next week.

        OK, I've worked around this problem. It's not pretty, but it seems to work. New version of 0.93 attached.

        FYI, the script must introduce a 1 sec delay when stopping progress or resolving the issue in order to give the LogWork request time to complete. Just so you know.

          Hey Jonathan, thanks for making updates.  I've been pretty busy so I haven't really been looking after this thing.  I'd like to try to keep this from forking if possible (although hopefully this functionality might get rolled into the JIRA trunk, obviating the need for a separate script?

          I'm still on 3.3, so I abstracted some of the node selection stuff w/ a version detector: http://greasemonkey.randomfoo.net/jira/jira.worklog.user.js

          Did this merge all your changes or did I miss something?

            All my changes were in the 0.93 version attached to the page. If you like, I could create a subversion directory for the script so we could use that to collaborate.

            I agree we should try hard not to fork.

    Hi,
    I'm on JIRA 3.6.2 #156, and installed this script. Unfortunately the script seems to replace the Assign To field on the Close issue screen. Does the js replace target a position to replace or an element id to insert after?I can't use the script while it replaces fields with its own fields. This seems to be the same problem that Jeff Turner was having some time ago.

    Hmm, wondering if this thread is still active even..

    Cheers

    Are there any known issues with the plugin on JIRA 3.10? The start/stop progress comments do not seem to be creating any entries in the worklog.

      I am curious about this as well. We are using JIRA version Version: 3.10.2-#262. I have installed Greasemonkey and added the script as well as the URLs it should work on. At this point it does not appear to have any effect.

        Digging a little further, I have found that it does have some effect.  The widget to account for hours only seems to show up when I move into custom workflow steps that have Resolve as an option and the time estimate is available around the Resolve option. If I enter time it still is not saved in the work log.

    We would love to implement the worklog in workflow feature, however our userbase strictly uses Internet Explorer. Is there some way we can run the script on IE, or perhaps convert the script into a conventional JIRA plugin?

    Thanks,

    Is this project still active? I have added some release date columns into the wiki page above because it is hard to know if this plugin is still being worked on or if it is very old? We have a vanilla version of  3.13 and it doesn't work with that?

    I've updated this script to work for my team with JIRA 3.13.

    Now it has additional features:

    • automatic/manual time tracking switch
    • the time is in 00h 00m format, not just minutes
    • support for full UTF-8

    If you have Greasemonkey installed, just click this link to download script. And of course tell the script where your JIRA installation is.
    Write me if you need any help / modifications.

    Hi,

    I have problems with the script using Professional Edition, Version: 3.9.2-#235.

    When I press Stop Progress it opens */Jira/secure/CreateWorklog.jspa and that results in an error:

    HTTP Status 404 - Could not execute action [CreateWorklog]:Action
'CreateWorklog' not found or could not be initialized:

    Please help, I like your script so much.

      Hi,

      this script has been prepared for version "Enterprise Edition, Version: 3.13.2-#335" and was not tested on any other.

      Maybe try to instal the script in its 0.93 version.

      If the problem persists, try to modify my version of script and replace "CreateWorklog" with the path that is taken from 'action' property of the form where you log your time. For example in my version of Jira it looks like this:<form action="CreateWorklog.jspa" method="post" ...
      so in the script it is:
      <form action="../secure/CreateWorklog.jspa" method="post" ...

      I hope I described it well and that it'll help you.
