Description/Features
The portlet provided by the Current User Status plugin can be considered an entry point into the user's profile, and a replacement for the Quick Links and In Progress portlets. It's expected to be of use in every JIRA, bringing many different pieces of data and links into a concise piece of screen real estate.
Usage
Install the plugin by downloading the plugin jar, placing it in your $JIRA/WEB-INF/lib/ and giving your JIRA a restart.
Once it's installed you can add it to your dashboard by selecting the Current User Status portlet.
Version History
Version 1.0.1 was released on 19th of April 2007. It fixed a bug whereby the green/red links on the percentage bars were back to front.
Version 1.0 was released on 10th of April 2007.

Hello,
this plugin is quite nice, but it is only for the standard jira workflow.
A very important feature of Jira is that the workflow can be customized!
1. 'Resolved Recently'could filter on the resolution field instead of the status field, this would apply to any workflow!
2. 'In Progress' also filters on a particular status of the standard workflow. One can think about many alternatives to identify issues which are still open but not completely new, for example to filter on all issues which have some history changes after creation.
3. Would it be possible to make the filters configurable, so that jira installations with customized workflows can put the most relevant filters into the plugins?
Cheers

Posted by Thanks for the ideas Bettina.
1. Definitely sounds good. When I've shaken a bout of flu I'll make that change.
2. I think this would stay unchanged - your idea for 3) would allow people to deal with this.
3. Sounds like a good idea. Incidentally have you seen my filterlist plugin? It kind of does this already, just not as a part of the current status plugin: http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRAEXT/Filter+List+Plugin
Hello Henri,
in the meantime I have checked also your other plugins.
My goal now is to improve the standard dashboard by making it simpler, so that my new users are not disoriented.
I'm considering the Current User Status Plugin, because it is very concise.
The first question when a tipical user logs in into Jira is indeed: "what do I have to do next?" and the answer could well be in the filters of this plugin.
To have it configurable would be nice, because then I can put into it just the filters that are really needed.
Cheers

I sat (at last) and meant to make the status->resolution change you suggested above, but I've realized it's not that easy. There's no resolution code for 'resolved'. It's 'unresolved'->-1, and then a whole series of customizable resolutions. I don't know about your JIRA, but in my JIRA both resolutions and statuses are customized - I was just lucky that we don't have any statuses that mean resolved beyond resolved and closed.
So the solution to all three of your issues is in the third one - find a way to allow customized filters. There are two problems in this:
1) Admin UI. But I guess I can do something nice and lame like a textarea with newline separated urls.
2) Finding the counts out for the urls. I need to come up with a way to turn the url into '15 issues' that's better than hitting the RSS or HTML. Hopefully I can find the part of JIRA that converts urls to search parameters and then use that to ask for a count.
Sorry for going quiet on you Bettina; illness/work and the Poll portlet all stole my time.
As they'll be locking things down in a few hours I just wanted to point out the JIRA plugin page for this portlet at http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRAEXT/Current+User+Status+Plugin .
One thing I have realized is that 3) above is going to be tough. I need to access filters both as urls and as object structures (to get their counts).
Neat plugin! I can see this being really useful.
