I have often in the past injected some display stuff into the description of a job or view. For example when we were iterating and changing versions a lot. We had a version.txt field that we sourced into the description page (we used some rough html hacks to get it done). When it worked (it stopped working) it was great.
Has there been any thought into more formal support? I was thinking it would be useful to be able to expand token macro expressions in the description. I would imagine a similar yet different set of security issue that the "anything goes" plugin has. At this point what I want to do is have a bunch of links in the job description. I need to reference different protocols (like ssh which is not technically a protocol but it will suffice for my needs) and different ports on the same hostname as the jenkins machine. The original thought was to use the groovy plugin to extract the hostname. Something like <a href="ssh://${GROOVY, script='hostname...''}:1232">ssh url</a> Right now I think I can cover that with some prototype javascript and the anything goes plugin. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
