JIRA Issues Macro

The 2.4.1 version of the plugin (Confluence 2.7.2?) looks like it nearly supports a template parameter,where template=xp should use the jiraissues-xp.vm template instead of jiraissues.vm. Anyone else got this working?

Where can I find the source code for the V2.7 of the JIRA macros library?

I cannot find it in the source for V2.8 of Confluence

Trackbacks in JIRA does not detect the Confluence pages that use this {jiraissues} macro. We have to make an explicit reference to the JIRA issue URL from the Confluence page to make this work.

I expect the problem's due to a saved filter in JIRA that's private, and the lack of authentication credentials passing between Confluence 2.7 and your JIRA.

It may be that you only need to go into JIRA, manage your filters, and mark this particular one as shared (or global or whatever). Else, you need to look up the method of passing credentials in your jiraissues macro call – but you could instead try Setting Up Trusted Communication between JIRA and Confluence with an updated Confluence.

I posted a possible fix for the broken "Atlassian JIRA" link in the jiraissues macro (CONF-10564, among others), since JIRA 3.7-ish. Hopefully something like this will finally get into the release.

Quick question. The jiraissues macro does seem to work well now that we have trusted communications set up (Jira Enterprise Version 3.12.1 Build Number 299, confluence 2.8 enterprise); however not all the icons show up properly for the field type and priority. Looking at the html I see for the issues that it does show up for the hmtl looks like: src="https:ourservice/jira/images/icons/issue_subtask.gif; whereas for the ones that don't show up we have <img src="$icons.get( $item.getChild('type').getValue() )".

Note that on Safari I see a broken image link. On Firefox I get the type or priority text as a hyperlink.

Thoughts on what's going on? I suspect that the type and priority that aren't showing up are ones we created in JIRA, but we're using the default icons w/in JIRA so I'm curious about what we need to do to have the icons appear.
thanks

G'day,

I was just wondering which version of Jira Trusted Applications became available in? We are running Jira 3.11 and I'm unable it see the Trusted Applications link in the Administrator console.

Hi, we are currently encountering issues when displaying {jiraissues}
 
 
We have done various things to remedy this:
1. Ensured user is logged in on both wiki and jira and is using the same userid
2. Increased the Request timeout in Jira and Wiki (2000000)
3. Ensured the IP Address Matches are correct on both Jira and Wiki Trusted App setup.
4. We've checked the logs (catalina.out/access_log.2008-10-08) and we dont see any weird exceptions.
5. We've tried flushing cache 
But the error is still there. The most recent activity prior to this happening was we restarted our server. 
Pls advice.

Sorry for the duplicate...
Hi, we are currently encountering issues when displaying jiraissues macro.

We are using Jira3.12.13 and Confluence2.9

"jiraissues: Could not download[http://jira.lawson.com/sr/jira.issueviews:searchrequest-xml/temp/SearchRequest.xml?type=3&pid=10100&sorter/field=issuekey&sorter/order=ASC&sorter/field=status&sorter/order=DESC&tempMax=10] : caused by : Read timed out"

We're running the jiraissue macro in Confluence 2.9 against Jira 3.11. If we link to an XML filter which returns no records in Jira, the macro produces the following output:

 jiraissues: Error on line 31 of document http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd: The declaration for the entity "HTML.Version" must end with '>'.

Has anyone else seen this problem? Is it a problem with the macro, or the way we're using it?

Cheers,

Hi do some one knows if the jira issue macro supports size option?

{jiraissues:url and params|width=800|height=800}

I entered width and height parameters. The height parameter seems to word, but the width has no impact to the display of the list in a confluence wiki page.

It would be very usefull I could define a maximum width and height.

This error occurred for me also.  I'm using Confluence 2.10 and JIRA 3.13.  In my case, it appears to be related to using a https url.  When I changed my url to point to the http address, the error did not occur and I could see my issues.

Is there any way to parametrically specify the query parameters (ie. specify the same type of information like desired user, status, date range)?  Basically, generate a dynamic filter at page load time, rather than having to reference a pre-made filter in JIRA?

For example, it would be nice to have a filter for "show me the issues marked 'closed' for user in the pastdays".

Then, in some Confluence page, do

or

It appears to me the answer is "no, neither {jiraissues} nor JIRA itself can do that".  Without this capability, I'd have to create separate filters in JIRA for "Bob @ 30 days" and "Frank @ 7 days", which is not desireable.  Is that a correct assessment?  Where would I create such a feature request?  It would greatly improve Confluence<->JIRA integration, in my opinion...

Is there a way to modify the link between the issues listed in a jiraissues list and the issues in the jira.
Ideally we want to beautify the detail issue. ie. instead of linking ISS-123 to http://jira.acme.com/browse/ISS-123, linking it to http://customers.acme.com/issueportal?issue=ISS-123.

I will adapt the plugin as the link should contain the key, and I can't expect that the users are going to fill in the custom field,
unless there is a way to automatically generate the content of that custom field

Tx

Version 2.8.7 of the issues macro really rocks, because now you can choose any JIRA column you like. There are only two annoying problems left:

The description column does not support german umlauts, as for example the summary column does:

Furthermore an automatic word wrapping would be very helpful for the description column, as those texts tend to be long...

We are using Confluence 2.10 and JIRA 3.13.2.

Thanx in advance

Macro works fine, but I am wondering if there is a way to configure the display so that table hight automatically adjusts based on the number of issues. In some cases we do not have many issues and 'large' blank space between the issues and page number footer is looking ugly. If I remember correctly we did not have this problem with 2.5.6 version confluence we were using earlier. We are currently using confluence 2.10 and jira 3.13.2. Our users are complaining about this display and it would be nice to have a solution.

I still seem to have difficulty getting any custom fields displayed - I have Confluence 2.7.1 and Jira 3.11 and my macro is as follows (with the usual sensitive info changed to protect the guilty..)

My regular fields show up just fine, but even when doing a 'view-source', it's like Confluence doesn't even see that column coming back.. I've played around with the order of the columns in the string as well as tried other customfield items with no luck.

Any suggestions?

Is there any workaround to put a width setting in.  It's important for the way our system is configured.  As 100% width is breaking things on our end.

Just to followup, this page is suffering the exact problem our site is having.  We insert the tree on the left side of most of our pages.  If there is a jira object on the right it pushes the scroll bar all the way to the right, and it smooshes the tree navigation.

Thanks so much

Dan

It's called "fixversion".

You will find the field names in the xml export from Jira's Issue Navigator.

Regards,

hi adam~

we can't see your syntax used because confluence is trying to render the jiraissues macro here. could you leave off the brackets or escape them with backslashes (one in front of the bracket)? thanks.

~cheryl

Thanks for the tip

jiraissues:anonymous=false|columns=key;summary;Ideal Days;assignee;fixVersion|url=http://xxxx.xxx.com:xxx/sr/jira.issueviews:searchrequest-xml/10038/SearchRequest-10038.xml?tempMax=1000

The other thing I've noticed in the xml from Jira each issue is part of 2 Versions

' <fixVersion>Reporting - Iteration 2</fixVersion> <fixVersion>Reporting - Rationalise Reports</fixVersion>'

Could this be causing the problem.....

The size of a jiraissues macro pane defaults to about double the width of a standard browser, and fills most of the hight of a standard browser window.  The font is also unnecessisarily large and there is far too much whitespace and wasted space, even in the example on this page.  (The control bar seems reasonable, though).  Is there a way to reduce not just the width and height of the window, but to reduce the scale of the entire widget as a whole, including font size and table cel and header size and spacing?

Dear Cheryl!

I really like this makro - but I have one problem:
We always use anonymous = false, and if I don'T have enought permissions, I get:
"jiraissues: Error on line 6: The reference to entity "N" must end with the ';' delimiter."
as an error massege in Confluence.
This makes in quite unusable for us because we never want to see a customer of us to see a technical error massege like this.
Is it possible to replace it quickly with one like "Sorry, you don't have permission to see the issues" in the next days?
(We are using Confl 2.9.1)

Thank you very much,
Tido

Using Jira 3.13 and testing Conluence 2.10.2

Noticed that the behavior of the colums has changed and the width of the JIRA display on the page has changed also.
So my questions are:
1. how to get the summary column to behave nicely as in 2.9
2. can the width of the jira display be changed?
2a. can there be a "display like it did in 2.9" feature?

thanks

Jira 3.13 and Confluence 2.9

Have a filter in Jira that displays an Issue and it's substasks using two components to get the issue and subtasks I want. It displays correctly in Jira.
when I copy the xml to Conflunce to do up the JiraIssues macros I get nothing but the header for the filter and no rows for the actual task and sub tasks. The name of filter is there with zero issues and column names are listed.

code:
jiraissues:cache=no|url=http://nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn:8080/sr/jira.issueviews:searchrequest-xml/10103/SearchRequest-10103.xml?tempMax=1000&os_username=wikiuser&os_password=wikipass

Yet when I click on the filter name in the header I get the rss feed and everything is there - issues, sub taksks and descriptions.

any ideas?

Hi,

I'm using Jira 3.12.3 and Confluence 2.9.2.  They are listed as trusted apps for each other.  When I tried to use this macro, I received the following error:

"Errors were reported by the JIRA trusted connection.
OLD_CERT; Certificate too old. Application:

Certificate Created:

Timeout:

; ["confluence:14638695","Fri Mar 27 16:25:53 GMT\-08:00 2009","10000"]"

Any idea why?

Thanks!

That worked, thank you!!

However, I have a new problem - I want to show the issue type, key, summary and description.  Everything shows up but the description.  Why would that be?

Trying to display Jira issues into Confluence (2.10) and I cannot display the 'Affects version/s' field tried affectsversion and a ceratin number of case/spelling changes.

Any ideas?

Hi,

Is it possible to change the size of the jiraissueMacro render?

I have a left side navigator and when I display this Macro the section is reduced. Even when I use only two parameters in the table (Type and summary) I have this problem.

Thank you

When following the procedure to include a JIRA issues list, I cannot get the XML url to correctly display all of the issues. Only the first issue is shown, but not the newly created ones. Any clues what I am doing wrong?

My filter in JIRA does correctly show all three issues, and the MaxTemp parameter is set to 1000 but only 3 issues in this test project.

Many thanks,

Bernie.

When specifying the following, I only see Key, Summary, Status, Assignee displayed:

columns=key;summary;description;fixVersions;status;assignee

We are using JIRA Enterprise Edition, Version: 3.13.2 and  Atlassian Confluence 2.9.2

We are currently using Confluence 2.10.2 and JIRA 3.13-#330. When we display the JIRA issues in JIRA the headers are in French. However, when using the jiraissues macro in Confluence the headers are in English. Both JIRA and Confluence are configured to display in French. How do I obtain the headers in French?

I have a custom 'User Picker' field which I want to display. When using the issue navigator in Jira, the persons full name is displayed, but the jira issues macro displays the username. Is there a way to get jiraissues to display the fullname rather than username?

Is there any way to keep the user from having to scroll in two directions to see the content of the jiraissues macro?

I can immaginge a couple possibilities:

* Flag to ensure that All fields have SOME of the realestate

* Ability to specify column widths/%'s

Right now the table is big enough that it can not be reaonably displayed on out monitors.

Confluence 2.10.1
Jira Enterprise Edition, Version: 3.13.2-#335

Trusted relationship has been set up between JIRA and CONFLUENCE.

Imbedded Macro URL:

{jiraissues:cache=off|url=http://jira:8080/sr/jira.issueviews:searchrequest-xml/temp/SearchRequest.xml?sorter/field=issuekey&sorter/order=DESC&tempMax=1000\}

Issues:
 Click on TYPE, KEY, or SUMMARY column two things happen:
  1. JIRA is requiring a login
  2. Back arrow to CONFLUENCE requiring a login.

Questions:
 1. How do I eliminate the login requirement?
 2. How do I eliminate the back arrow requirement?

everytime someone comments here I get the page emailed to me. I'm not watching it, and have never commented before that I can see.

I can't see any way to stop this - do I have to log an issue about Atlassian's confluence to figure this out?

JIRA:Enterprise Edition, Version: 3.13.2-#335

Confluence: 2.9.2

I am not able to see Component/s column via jiraissues macro (usage ...|columns=type;key;summary;component) and I am not able to see the navigation bar ... any idea what version of JIRA/Confluence this two functionalities were introduced?

Thanks

Hi,

I keep getting the error "jiraissues: Unable to determine if sort should be enabled". The xml search string seem to be ok, and were using Confluence 3.0.0_01 and JIRA 3.13.4 .

Any ideas on how to go about with this?

Thanks

Would be really great if there was a parameter to make the dynamic list minimized by default, and only when the user "restores" it then the data will be revealed.

Is this Macro compatible with Confluence 3.0? We can not get it to work again and Atlassian support has asked us to confirm this, please let me know.

We've currently got JIRA and Confluence on the same server both listening on port 8080.

As we're getting more and more people on board we'd like to tidy up the URLs.  So we plan on moving both Confluence and JIRA onto Port80 and we'll probably move to a more meaningful URL.

We use the jiraissues extensively and so we'll have to edit a lot of pages to fix up the URLs.

Between now and when we do the URL tidying is there a way to soft code the Jira URL in the Jira Issues macro?  A sort of extension to the short cut links?  What is best practice? (Other than getting it right to begin with).

I've a problem with custom filds

jiraissues:url=http://jira.abacho.net.local/sr/jira.issueviews:searchrequest-xml/temp/SearchRequest.xml?pid=10140&fixfor=-1&resolution=-1&due=-1&sorter/field=priority&sorter/order=DESC&tempMax=50\|columns=priority;status;assignee;iRAnk;summary;

the custom fild "iRank" is not be show - only an empty row "iRank". I've conf 3.0 and jira 3.13 and of course i've tried the id of the custom fild and it isn't empty in jira

Also a reason for this error might be insufficient "Trusted Applications" access for Confluence in JIRA for example.

We tried to add a single Issue through the jiraissues macro, which has a different url than the issue list ( /si/jira.issueviews:issue-xml instead of /sr/jira.issueviews:searchrequest )

That URL was not allowed per default in the "URL Paths to Allow" option, and thus the macro was returning that error message.

Is it possible to disable the Issue Type text instead of the icon? We've created many custom issue types and they are all using the generic icon. We could create custom icons, but it would be simpler to just display the issue type as text

Hi,

Thak you for this great stuff.
I'm having a problem here, we have some custom field using datepicker data type, it's showing fine on the page view.
but, when we try to send the page by email, it will showing a complete formate datetime just like this : Wed, 21 Oct 2009 00:00:00 +0800 (SGT)
also on the received email

is there anyway we can fix it in our side? or is it a bug?

the second problem,
I was creating a filter and forgot to add the share, and then the macro won't showing the issues event after I add the share, and i have to create a new filter to have it showing correctly. in other case, the issue not showing all the issues ont the filter, which is also fixed by creating a new filter. is there any synchronization problem on this macro?

Regards
Fahmi

Hi,

I get an RSS feed under the XML view, which is not accepted by Confluence ?!?

Thomas

This is not a big deal but doesn't hurt to ask. I haven't seen it documented anywhere (I'm hoping it's there, but just not documented): is there a way to tell jiraissues to only show an arbitrary list/set of issues? i.e. show me QA-453, SYS-4432 and SYS-4431 only? They way I do it now is I just make sure I can search that set of JIRA issues, and that use that "XML link".

I would like to track the status of a single parent issue and all its children on a confluence page.  I've tried feeding the jiraissues macro  the XML path from the parent issue, but the macro returns "jiraissues: Unable to determine if sort should be enabled".  Does jiraissues support this use case?

Thanks,

Eric

Hi,

Is there a way to set the Issue Macro to Shrink in height based on the issues that are displayed?
If number of issues exceed the height then we seen it traversing the pages which is fine but if the number of issues are less I the macro should shrink so that it does not eat up the space. Also it looks ugly

Any pointers?

Thanks
Dave

I agree with Dave, the display of issues is a bit ugly.

Looks like this plugin is moving to https://studio.plugins.atlassian.com/wiki/display/CONFJIRA/Confluence+JIRA+3+Plugin

Hi,

I have the following query where I am trying to display custom field but they showup blank.

Any advice? This is JIRA 4.1 and Confluence 3.1

jiraissues:http://jira.xxx.com/sr/jira.issueviews:searchrequest-xml/tempSearchRequest.xml?jqlQuery=project+%3D+%22QA%22+AND+fixVersion+%3D+130+ORDER+BY+key+ASC&tempMax=25|columns=priority,key,summary,Status,assignee,customfield_10053,customfield_10052|cache=off|height=500

Thanks
Dave

Ho can I incorporate "Issue Links" in this macro? "Issue Links" is available in JIRA Issue Navigator and shows all the issues that are linked to this issue. I would like to have the same capability in my JIRA Issue Macro as well

Any pointers are appreciated

Thanks

Dave

Cheryl,

How abt using Shortcut links in the Macro instead of the URL. I tried it and I get

Error formatting macro: jiraissues: java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "1000@jira]"

I have added my JIRA URL as a shortcut with jira being the key

jiraissues:url=[/sr/jira.issueviews:searchrequest-xml/temp/SearchRequest.xml?jqlQuery=project%3D+%22B+QA%22+and+fixVersion+%3D+1&tempMax=1000@jira]|columns=type,key,summary

Thanks

Hi,

Everything is coming over from Jira nicely, however, the Jira field "Documentation Link" (which presents itself as a hyperlink when in Jira), is being displayed as simple text.  Is there a way to have the Documentation Link content act as a hyperlink?

Thanks,

Andrew

When I am using this to show sub-tasks of a specific parent, I can't seem to get them to show in the order in which they are set within the parent task.  I've got my filter as a "parent = [parentkey]" query, but the order that the parent is allowing me to set on the sub-tasks doesn't seem to be exposed as a field that I can sort on.  Does anyone know the field name?  Or is that a part of the link itself, and not the record?  If so, is there any way to do this?

Thanks,

Chris

• Log in to your JIRA system.
• Go to the 'Issues' screen and create a new filter. Do not modify an existing filter.
  This is the 'Find Issues' screen in JIRA 3.13.x and earlier.
• Set up your search parameters and use 'View' to check the issues returned.
• Once the filter is finished, go to the Filter's 'View' tab/section in the top-left area of the JIRA interface.
• Copy the XML link. To do this, follow the appropriate steps below:
• If you are using JIRA 4.0.x or later:
  • Click the 'Views' menu and use this menu to copy the XML link to your clipboard. For example, right-click the 'XML' menu item and choose the right-click menu option for copying that link.

Where in the administration tab do I setup the different methods under views. Mine is currently blank and I am on jira 4.01. is this a plufgin that needs enabled or a permission schema?

I have went thru and follow the instructions, used the macro browser to create this syntax

and this is what the page displays to me after the save.

jiraissues: Unable to determine if sort should be enabled.

any ideas, I am not currently using trusted apps becuase I have the ssl in an alt keystore and have not found all the places/ files I need to edit to point at that keystore.  

I've followed the directions as listed and when I preview the results I get the following error:

Error formatting macro: jiraissues: org.springframework.dao.IncorrectResultSizeDataAccessException: Incorrect result size: expected 2, actual 4

What do I need to check to resolve this?

When I use Priority in the column list, it just shows the icon and not the text (e.g. 3 - Important ) unlike the status which shows Icon and text.

I'd like to modify the output format from this macro.  Is the source available?

Hi,

after a while I found how to add a custom field to be displayed with the jiraissues macro. But I had to change the name from "My Custom Field" to "MyCustomField" otherwise the field will not get displayed. Did I miss something or is ther no way of adding human readable custom field names?

Regards,

Christian

Hello, I can't get the 'Component/s' field to display using 'component' value. I read before that it requires confluence 2.10 and above which we have. Any thoughts? Here's the XML:

http://xxxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxxx/sr/jira.issueviews:searchrequest-xml/temp/SearchRequest.xml?query=%22Do+not+allow+an+application+to+be+deleted%22&summary=true&description=true&body=true&environment=true&pid=10100&tempMax=1000\|columns=mrd id,key,description,component,status,priority|height=75|title= |renderMode=static

Confluence: 3.0.0_01

Jira: 3.13.1

Cheers!

Hi, is it possible to preset individual column widths? 

I have added a custom field which can have quite a long string, but the default width (Summary is always the largest - and that is not what I always require..) means that the user has to manually resize every time the screen is loaded.  I haven't been able to see any discussion of this feature/requirement...

Cheers

James

I'm running into this same issue. Is there any way to set column widths - specially for the summary field?

We are encountering a similar error reported by several: jiraissues: Unable to determine if sort should be enabled

It came about when we upgraded from 2.10 to 3.2.1_01; our jira version is: 4.1.1#522).

I followed the documentation instructions just to reinsert/copy the xml link.

I tested the link by putting it into a separate browser window to make sure that it rendered correctly

They are not setup with SSL, so a trusted connection between confluence and jira should not be necessary

I tried with a specific user's set of credentials (as was necessary with our 2.10 version) and it still should have worked, even though it's not recommended -- but, it didn't.  I tried with anonymous set to TRUE as well.

We uninstalled and reinstalled the plugin

We reviewed the error logs to ensure we weren't getting an issue with host name validation -- couldn't locate any such error message.

Does anyone have any other suggestions for how to troubleshoot this issue

Hi,

I am using this macro, in the following way, to show our custom field Release Notes Comments for different versions:

{jiraissues:url=http://jira.mycompany.com/sr/jira.issueviews:searchrequest-rss/temp/SearchRequest.xml?jqlQuery=project+%3D+RPT+AND+fixVersion+%3D+14365+AND+"Release+Note+Comments"++IS+NOT+EMPTY+ORDER+BY+key+DESC&tempMax=1000\|columns=key,summary,fixVersion,Release Note Comments|cache=off|title=Release notes|renderMode=static|width=800}

On this custom field Release Notes Comments, defined as type Free Text Field (unlimited text), we introduce all information we consider should be known by other teams about a particular issue on a language that's easy to understand for them. Then we automatically collect all those release notes using the jiraissues macro and that constitutes our release notes for a particular version.

I am nevertheless experiencing two issues with it:

First, it is not wrapping the lines of text, so that I actually have to insert breaklines at strategic points within the Jira's Release Note Comments field so that the lists of issues do not expand horizontally too much. The lines are being perfectly wrapped in Jira, where everything is displayed correctly, but they are not when the text of the Release Note Comments field is displayed by the jiraissues macro. I tried setting the width in different ways and nothing seems to solve that problem.

Second, I cannot get the macro to show the 'fixfor' versions when there are more than one. I tried with "fixVersion", "fixVersions" and "fixfor", but I cannot get it to work.

FYI, we are using Confluence 3.2 and Jira v4.1#519

Could you help me with this?

Hi,

I am using this macro to show jira issues in a confluence page. It works ok, but I received some complains from our users.

the point is that when they click on the issue, jira is open in the same page. Is there a way or parameter that I can use to get JIRA open in a new Window?

Hi there,

i have a question about how to write names with sur- and lastname into my configure? For example: MYNAME: Max Mustermann MYPASSWORD: Test.

If this question already exists - i'm sry, i read the most comments here but i didn't see a question about how to... and in the documentation i can't find an explanation.

Best regards,
Jan

Hi, someone faced this problem or know a solution:

I have a page with the jiraissue macro included, it works well when I visit the page as authenticated user (same account in Confluence 3.1 and Jira 4.1.1). When I visit the page without login (anonymous) the I will get an error message: Error formatting macro: jiraissues: java.lang.RuntimeException: Bad Request

Any Idea how to resolve this?

This error message can be accepted, but it create tremendous exception entries in the log file. The log file is blown up when someone create an RSS feed setup which strive this page. The RSS is anonymous and triggers jira every minute....
Thanks for help.

I have the same problem @Wallabee described. Searched the internet for answers but none were to be found. I have my confluence server as a Truested Applications in JIRA, use the same usernames in both installations. I have verified the jiraissues macro is setup correctly (by using it to read Atlassian's public JIRA site). My macro is setup us:

The error I get is:

I have Confluence 3.4.7 and JIRA v4.2.3-b590#590.

I have a question, can this Jira macro and Confluence not suck? wiki markup = fail.

Just to get these columns to be fully expanded seems to be impossible. First of all why can't the descriptions column expand or any column expand to fit the actual width of the macro? Second, why is it set to be minimized every time the page or macro is loaded (see pic 2)? Having to constantly expand the height of this thing is a real annoyance. Yes I know I can set a height, setting a fixed height or width is stupid because with some instances there maybe 20 fields and other times 1 or 2. Turning renderMode to static solved a couple of those issues but now I'm getting requests to make it sortable again. If it's dynamic, make it DYNAMIC. Fit widths, columns and expand the view.

Make the columns fit the width!

I'm frustrated if you can't tell. Please do something to fix this.

If you receive java.lang.RuntimeException: Not Found error this is may be beacause you are using port redirection with firewall and both jira and confluence are on the same machine.

Port redirection may not work correct when trying to access url from localhost.

Workaround is to add original port number in urls.

For example, if your jira instance is accessible for users via url: http://jira.myhost.com, and this location is transparently mapped via firewall to http://jira.myhost.com:8080 you should use second url form in jiraissues macro for it to work correctly.

Or you may fix your firewall configuration :)

Sorry, not sure why the syntax disappeared from my comment. But here it is again:

How do i adjust the width of the columns?

Hi everyone,

Quick question, but first here's some background: One of Confluence 3.5's largest improvements is its ability to integrate with Jira. However, if you have a project key with alphanumeric characters, "Insert" does not work with Recently Viewed Jira issues. After you save or preview the insert, a macro error message pops up. I've run multiple tests to make sure that the alphanumeric characters are the issue.  I have found that if there is a number ANYWHERE in a Jira project key, Confluence will produce in error message when trying to display this project's issues. Has anyone had this problem? 

Thanks,

Eddie

With proper formatting this time...

Is there a way to use the data from this macro within a chart? 

For example, say that this jiraissues macro:

{jira:project = "Jira50" and IssueType = "Enhancement" and "Story Points" > 0|columns=FixVersion;Story Points}

returns 3 rows

Ideally, the data returned would be of the following format, so that I could wrap the chart macro around it

|| Fix Version || Story Points ||
| 5.2  | 3 |
| 5.3  | 3 |
| 5.3 | 8 |

I am using the Jira issues macro and love it, but was wondering if there is a way to add a row number to the table (other than explicitly defining a # in the Jira issues).  We use GHRank ordering, but the numbers don't start with 1 and aren't in order - I need my issues view to be numbered 1-n

Thank you

Windows Server 2008 R2, Conf 3.5.4, Jira 4.3.4 (two instances of Tomcat on same server), Application links appear correctly configured for trusted apps. The issues list displays correctly in flexigrid in Confluence.
However, the title row for the macro flexigrid displays a url instead of the title.

 
the code that actually appears in the title row is this:

In other words, everything seems to be working properly except the title row doesnt seem to be properly parsing the title.
The correct title should be "JIRA issues", as shown appended to the URL.
I vaguely recall seeing this problem before, but cant find it in my records ....any tips would be really appreciated.

Hello,

According to jiraportlet macro, in the help there is written

{jiraportlet:url=http://jira.portlet.url}

How to find in Jira v.4.x the portlet.url, please ?

With jiraissues macro, I get this error on the page
jiraissues: Unable to determine if sort should be enabled.
What is the problem ?

Here below the wiki code

{jiraissues:url=https://jira.vsct.fr/jira/sr/jira.issueviews:searchrequest-xml/temp
/SearchRequest.xml?jqlQuery=project+%3D+PILCSI+AND+issuetype+%3D+%22Action+%C3%A0+piloter%22+AND+status+in+
%28%22En+attente+d%27info%22%2C+%22En+cours%22%2C+%22To+do+%28%C3%A0+faire%29%22%29+ORDER+BY+due+ASC&tempMax=1000}

(I have put CR at end of lines here to enable you to see all)

Thank you for your help

Few questions:

1. Is there any way to specify default sorting (tried order by...didn't work)
2. Is there a way to group jiras?  I want to group by fix version
3. Is there a way to only show the main jira and not the sub tasks?
4. Is there a way to filter the issues (if I can't do group by, want to have separate tables for each fix version)

Is there any way this macro can retrieve the SVN commits associated to the JIRA tickets? I would appreciate if you can give me an example to do the same. Thanks!

I am attempting to display a list of the "New Features" in our next release in confluence.  We are creating a wiki page within confluence for each new feature to detail requirements, and attach assets.  I added a custom field in JIRA that I put in the link to the confluence page.  JIRA is picking up the fact that it is a link, so I can click on it, and get to the page, but when I display the list of issues in confluence using the macro, it shows the <a href="link"> tag, instead of providing a link.  

Is there any way to have the link I enter in JIRA show up as a link within confluence?

I am in the need to just pull the contents of a particular field without the table that is written by the JIRA issue type

{jira:http://example.com/sr/jira.issueviews:searchrequest-xml/temp/SearchRequest.xml?jqlQuery=key+%3D+CONF-1181\|columns=description|title=}

returns me the description with a box, but what I just need is that in ASCII so I can put it in a nice report. and format in a nice way via confluence.

I used the jiraissues macro to create an issues table on my project wiki page.  The table is created but only the first field is populated the remaining fields are empty.  If I click on the first field it takes me to the issue.  We have Jira Studio.

{jiraissues:url=https://audigygroup.jira.com/sr/jira.issueviews:searchrequest-xml/temp/SearchRequest.xml?jqlQuery=project+%3D+PULSE+AND+Status+%21%|columns=type; key; summary; priority}

Our users would like to emphasize due dates using colours and different fonts. Similar to what this attempt achieves in JIRA: https://studio.plugins.atlassian.com/wiki/display/JODCF/Home

Any ideas on how to do that?

Thanks in advance!

how am I supposed to pass parameter on JIRA 4.0 ? As I have no more access to the macro code ({jiraissues:...}), I would have expected the macro wizard to allow me to input those parameters... is this something that has been forgotten or am I missing something ?

thank's.

Nicolas.

------> my mistake, I was using the jiraissue and not the jiraissues...

How can I use metadata inside the jiraissues link. For example:

thanks for help.

Hi all,

i need help!

I have the problem that one user get no issues displayed instead he gets "no item" message.

He is admin in confluence and JIRA and belong as developer to the JIRA project.

The JIRA issue filter is shared and he can view the result in jira.

All other users do not have the problem.

Any idea what the problem is?

Thank you in advance!

Alex

Greetings.

I am a fairly new Confluence user, however I have been using the Jiraissues macro for some time. With the Confluence upgrade, a text field I display in my Jira query has embedded html <br> tags which causes the text to not wrap and be displayed as one huge long line. The custom field I am using is a simple text box. Are there any ideas on where the <br> tags are coming from? BTW, I did view the XML which is copied into my Jiraissues macro and the section of the XML I am concerned with looks like this: (? used to replace original text).

How can we construct a parameter with JQL query containing "+" symbol?

For example, we need to get all JIRA issues with summary containing both words from the phrase "example phrase".

The corresponding JQL quiry should be like this

since space symbol acts like OR operator. That means

returns all issues containing "example" or "phrase".

When we are using the code like this:

(with %22example+phrase%22 inside) we are receiving ALL ISSUES issues containing "example" OR "phrase".

We have checked the request header and it contains

So %22example+phrase%22 was substituted with %2522example%2520phrase%2522 that means "+" was substituted with " " space symbol.

When we tried %22example%2Bphrase%22 in "jqlQuery=..." we have received the same incorrect list of all issues since  it was substituted with %2522example%2Bphrase%2522 

 We checked that the correct value for the GET request would be %2522example%252Bphrase%2522

but we couldn't obtain this. Trying to put %22example%252Bphrase%22  "jqlQuery=..." we have received nothing since it was substituted with 2522example%25252Bphrase%2522
