Process Feedback Link specific

The link feedback is a generic adapter for feedback system with issue collector functionality. The Stages user is redirected via special Link to the feedback system. The user will typically see a form to create the issue. Some fields in this form will be filled out beforehand by Stages.

Stages config.xml

To enable the following configuration section must be added in the conf/config.xml:

<stages-config>
  <!-- Insert this block to your stages config.xml file -->
  <feedback-systems>
    <feedback-system name="link">
      <host url="https://collector.example.com/CreateIssue?project=%{project}&amp;issuetype=%{issuetype}&amp;issueCreator=%{reporter}&amp;returnUrl=%{url}"
        ident="link1"
        displayName="Example Link">
 
        <property name="project" value="DefaultProject" />
        <property name="issuetype" value="Feedback" />
 
        <system-attribute-mappings>
          <attribute source="creatorUsername" target="reporter" />
          <attribute source="elementUrl" target="url" />
        </system-attribute-mappings>
      </host>
    </feedback-system>
  </feedback-systems>
</stages-config>

Functionality

Stages will take the url value from the host configuration and will replace the variables. In the example above the variables are:

As you can see: The first two variables will be replaced with values from properties. The last two variables will be replaced with values from system-attribute-mappings.

Be aware

The letter & in the URL must be replaced by &amp; in the xml file.

Example

With the configured URL

https://collector.example.com/CreateIssue?issueCreator=%{reporter}&amp;project=example

and the system attribute mapping

<system-attribute-mappings>
  <attribute source="creatorUsername" target="reporter" />
</system-attribute-mappings>

Stages will lead the stages user “JohnDoe” to the site

https://collector.example.com/CreateIssue?issueCreator=JohnDoe&project=example
