Enable JavaScript in HTML Tile/Widget

mikhaillenko Jun 14, 2017 11:37 AM

Hi,

I am a Space Administrator and I cannot discover how to enable JavaScript within HTML Widgets/Tiles for Space Administrators. Apparently this is either done through system preferences (Admin console —> System —> Settings —> html.widget.safemode.enabled set to false; per Embedded Javascript and HTML widgets) or it is done through permissions of some sort (Admin console —> Permissions —> Other Content Permissions (?) —> mark Save JavaScript (??); per HTML Tile changes in 2016.1).

Regarding the first potential method, one administrator left a comment that he/she did not see this option (I do not see this html.widget.safemode.enabled option either), and a respondent observed that you can add System Properties (for some reason, not all System Properties are displayed, and those that are not displayed have default values—apparently—and there is a way to 'make visible' the hitherto hidden properties somehow—apparently—such that the values could be changed; this functionality is not intuitively discoverable, at least not for me, and more clarity is desired). Regarding the second method I did not see the option that was indicated, namely the 'Save JavaScript' checkbox.

Please help me understand how to enable JavaScript for System Administrators for my cloud instance.

Kindly,

Mikhail

The Admin console —> Permissions —> Other Content Permissions (?) —> mark Save JavaScript (??) is only available to system admins and must be granted on top of space admin permissions. This was mentioned in the HTML Tile changes in 2016.1 document and also the comments.

The System Admin should be able to view it, but if not, I would possibly attempt to contact support to see if it's hidden in your instance. I don't have access to specific instance details but I'll try to help the best I can.

  Hi Rashed, thanks for your help with this. I am a System Administrator and am willing to give myself the ability to use JavaScript in HTML Tiles/Widgets, but am not aware of how to do that. Also, I might benefit from a translation / dumbing down of the parlance here: what exactly does it mean "must be granted on top of space admin permissions"?
  
  If you believe Jive Support is appropriate here, I will create a ticket and mark your response as the correct one.

    An example would be if you go to "User Overrides" and select a user. You can see all the way on the bottom where it says "Save Javascript"
    
    If you have a separate group for all of your space admins, you can also go ahead and give them all permissions to do so on top of being able to manage spaces. This is same for individual users and groups.
    
    I hope that helps answer your question.

      I don't see where it says "Save Javascript."
      Any ideas?
