I've been following the instructions in http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/LiveTable to modify the contents of a livetable, with the following jQuery: require(['jquery', 'xwiki-events-bridge'], function($) { document.observe("xwiki:livetable:newrow", function(ev) { $('.working').each(function () { var txt = $(this).text(); if (txt== "true") { $(this).append($("<span>", { class: "glyphicon glyphicon-ok" })) } else if (txt == "false") { $(this).append($("<span>", { class: "glyphicon glyphicon-remove" })) } }); document.fire("xwiki:livetable:ready", {}); }); }); However, this only appears to work once I cause the livetable to update after it has loaded the first time (e.g. by sorting a column). How do I get it to run the first time? Also, what is the purpose of the last line?: document.fire("xwiki:livetable:ready", {}); This appears in the example code "Display ratings in the Livetable on row event", but doesn't obviously affect anything if I remove it.
