Compatibility With JIRA

Plugin Versions 3.10 3.11 3.12 3.13
1.1.2

Description/Features

A custom field plugin for linking a JIRA issue with a URL, particularly Confluence pages. While you are creating an issue, you can bring up a popup window that will allow you to quickly search a Confluence site for pages you would like to link to this issue. Clicking a link in the popup window will add the page to your new issue. The Confluence server must have anonymous Remote API access turned on.

Installation

  1. Copy the jar listed above into JIRA's WEB-INF/lib directory.
  2. Copy the search_16.png  into JIRA's images/icons directory.
  3. Configure any custom Confluence servers, if desired.
  4. Restart JIRA.
  5. You're done!

Configuring custom Confluence servers

You can add your own Confluence server(s) to the searchable list. Just do the following:

  1. Download and save atlassian-jira-linker-plugin.properties to somewhere on your computer (e.g. the Desktop)
  2. Open the file with a text editor.
  3. Change the 'confluence.urls' property to include your server(s), separated by commas (','). E.g.:
    confluence.urls = http://conf.mycompany.com, http://confluence.atlassian.com
  4. Save the file into JIRA's WEB-INF/classes directory as 'atlassian-jira-linker-plugin.properties'.
  5. Restart JIRA.

In Confluence

In the Confluence instance(s) you specified:

  1. Ensure that 'Anonymous Remote API Access' has been enabled in Confluence's 'General Configuration' Administration section
  2. In Confluence's "Global Permissions" page, grant Anonymous users access:

    (this isn't ideal - see LINK-7).
  3. You will also need to allow anonymous view access to all the spaces you wish the linker to search upon.

Documentation

To actually use the plugin, do the following:

  1. Log in as an administrator.
  2. Enter the 'Administration' section.
  3. Select 'Custom Fields'.
  4. Add a new custom field.
  5. Select the 'URL Link Field' type.
  6. Fill in a name and description for the field (e.g. 'Documentation' or 'Original report')
  7. Select what type of issues it is available for.
  8. Select what screens it will show up on.
  9. Done! Just add a new issue matching your settings to see it in action.

        Okay, it's working now.  I had to turn on both Remote API AND Anonymous Access to Remote API.

        So our Confluence site is not public facing yet, but this year we'd like to make it so.  Seems like Anonymous Access to Remote API would present a security risk.  Am I missing something here?

        One other question...If I move the linked page in Confluence will this link be updated?  If not, would it be possible for this plugin to use the TinyLink?

        Clicking the binoculars icon results in a javascript error in IE6.  Most our users are IE6 users so this needs to work to be useful for us.

        Thanks!

          Hi Kevin,

          Yes - [LINK-7] is tracking the issue allowing a user specify login details for the plugin. This would negate the need for Anonymous access.

          At present, there is no mechanism in place that will update these links within JIRA. However, Confluence should direct the user to correct page.

          Can you provide details of the Javascript error you are encountering?

          Regards,
          Keith

    Looks like a really good plugin, however,  when I click on the binoculars icon nothing happens.  Nothing appears in either confluence or JIRA console and nothing in the logs.  I have followed the instructions above and made sure Remote API is turned on in my confluence instance.  Is there anything else I need to do?

    Thanks

      Line 961, when I open the page source takes me to the javascript function 'openConfluenceBrowserWindow', but I can't see any problem with it.

    Hi,

    I'm trying to specify the URL as follows confluence.urls = http://<xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:yyyy but when I do a search all I get is:

    java.lang.NullPointerException
        at com.atlassian.jira.plugin.linker.SearchQueryBean.doSearch(SearchQueryBean.java:106)
        at com.atlassian.jira.plugin.linker.ConfluencePageBrowserAction.doExecute(ConfluencePageBrowserAction.java:44)

    And this goes on...

    When I specify confluence.urls = http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:yyyy, http://confluence.atlassion.com I can search the attlassian site, so the plugin seems to be working, but does it have a bug in using IP-addresses directly or using the port definition? The IP address si pointing to in intranet IP where the confluense is residing. http://localhost:yyyy does not do trick either. We can access confluence just fine from http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:yyyy with a web browser

    regards,
    Mikko

      Hi Mikko,

      A change has been made to the 'head' release of this plugin so the null pointer exception no longer occurs when an underlying exception is thrown.

      I will upload a new release to the repository. If you can't wait, just checkout and build the jar from subversion

    You can search a Confluence server to find the page you are looking for. Enter your query below:

    I'm having similar problems to those described above. Specifically:

    SEARCH:
    The [search] button doesn't do anything. While the search panel opens up and looks good (and the URL to Confluence is correct) clicking the [search] button doesn't seem to trigger an action.

    On one occasion I saw the red "Unable to connect to server" message, but that hasn't repeated.

    BROWSER:
    In Internet Explorer, clicking the binocular icon causes a Javascript error and nothing else happens. In Safari, the search window opens (but, as noted above, the search button does nothing noticable).

    EXCEPTIONS:
    The following exception shows up in the catalina.out log:
    Avoiding obscuring previous error by supressing error encountered while ending request: org.apache.xmlrpc.XmlRpcClientException: Exception closing URLConnection

    Apart from the instructions above is there something that needs to be done to make this work ?

    We have a brand new jira-enterprise-3.6.5 & confluence-2.2.9 setup we are testing and I've had no luck with this plug-in.  I have gone into Confluence and turned ON Anonymous Access to Remote API.   I've restarted Tomcat 5.0 but I don't see any Documentation Link box come up when I create a new issue.  I've looked in the Custom Fields to see if I needed to create a new field, doesn't appear so & I can't find the plug-in within the Jira plug-ins page (but with no search option who knows).  Does Issue Linking in Jira's Global Settings need to be ON ?  Seemed to be the closest option but didn't see to make a difference.

    Is there a magic thing to make it load ?   How do I check its loading as well ?

    Thanks,

    Hi

    I have set up the plug in as directed but i am having problems getting the search to work.

    In atlassian-linker-jira.properties i have the following entries confluence.urls=http://ourserver.ourcompany.prv:8087/confluence,http://confluence.atlassian.com

    and as expected both servers appear in the drop down list when i bring up the search page. The search using http://confluence.atlassian.com works and gives me the display page as expected. However, if i use http://ourserver.ourcompany.prv:8087/confluence, i simply get an empty page and no errors in the logs.

    I have Remote API AND Anonymous Access to Remote API turned on.

    Any Ideas ?

    Thanks

    Andy

    OK I have found the solution to this issue

    You need to make sure the Space Permission for Anonymouse Access has the View permission ticked.

    For each space you wish to search, from to the space admin ( under browse space ), click on permissions then Edit Permissions for the Anonymous Access group and make sure that View is checked.

      Your solution sounds like it will work, but the problem is that this solution is not feasible for organizations who are using JIRA/Confluence to store proprietary, secret information. We cannot allow anonymous browsing of our Confluence server, so this plugin is useless to us. So much for JIRA and Confluence being designed to be complimentary.

    Ideally we'd like to use this Linker and Trackbacks together - i.e. a Linked URL should still result in a Trackback.

    Should i raise a JIRA issue for this functionality?

    This feature is cool, but it would be much more useful to be able to see all the JIRA issues linked to a particular page in Confluence, i.e. a list of reverse links.  Is this possible, either from Confluence or as a search in JIRA?  It's not obvious how to get this info.

    Folks,

     I am having some issues setting the JIRA linker plugin up and running.  I have configured as stated in the documentation above (turn on the remote API, turn on anonmyous access in Confluence), add atlassian.proeprties in /WEB-INF/classes and the plugin JAR in lib directory).  I also checked confluence and jira logs for any log messages from the search requests I am sending but cannot find any.  The problem is that I am unable to search for any confluence pages through the search window that this plugin provides. Any ideas?

     I would also like to know if it is possible to put Confluence behind a Web server and still get the plugin to work? Are there any additional configurations steps to do in that case to get this plugin to work?

      Hi Colli,

      I'll try to address your queries here.

      Now, after nearly two month, the link to atlassian-jira-linker-plugin.properties is still broken.

      I've just fixed the link. Sorry for the convenience.

      You'll need to ensure that the Confluence instance you're pointing allows anonymous access to it and its RPC interface. You'll find instructions on how to do that here.

      Also, as a note, http://confluence.atlassian.com/ (this site) was configured to disallow anonymous RPC since a few months ago.

    LINK-7 and LINK-16 both really let JIRA and Confluence deliver on thier promise, anyone working on this?

    We may be open to sponsoring/funding the effort if it can happen quickly... 

    Thanks! Joe

    Regarding LINK-7 - Remote Login to Servers

    This is slightly annoying that the Plugin is still in 'Beta' after 3 Years but it's also "Supported" by Atlassian...
    Somewhat of a contradiction in terms, in my opinion...

    3 years... beta... supported by the company making the products... whatever.


    There is the 'Trusted Application' option for getting this JIRA Extension to work... but I guess the creator would need to edit it for Trusted Authentication like the JIRA Plugins for Confluence.
    I entered the following in Confluence for Trusted Application Details:

    My Initial Settings

    Name: fqdn of my site, e.g. http://server1.internaldomain.com/jira
    IP Address Matches:
    127.0.0.1
    10.50.0.*
    URL Paths to Allow: /secure/popups/ConfluencePageBrowser.jspa

    I only have Anonymous Access to Remote API turned on (not the Anonymous Use Confluence permission).
    Confluence and JIRA are on the same machine, hence 127.0.0.1 above as a thought. Then I added my local subnet.

    I also tried 'blank' entries for IP Address Matches and URL Paths to Allow - no dice.

    I receive this error in the popup search window for any settings I have tried:
    java.lang.Exception: com.atlassian.confluence.rpc.NotPermittedException: User does not have Use Confluence permission

      Agreed, this is a shame. Corporate IT organisations don't like turning on anonymous access to everything, and many of our spaces aren't public. Relying on the Trusted Application model already implemented would seem on the face of it straight forward. A shame there isn't better coordination keeping all of the compelling add ons up to speed with the latest feature releases, but I guess thats why we all vote - for this issue, http://developer.atlassian.com/jira/browse/LINK-7

    Hi,

    I'm having problems with searching Confluence from JIRA. I installed and configured the plugin as described but during search I'm getting the following exception:
