Maybe I can do this if I edit the source?
I am guessing the .vm file line 7?
Filter: <a href="$tools....
By looking at the source, it looks like it should be suppressing the parentheses if the filter has no description. Odd that it didn't for me after I renamed the filter.
I've also linked your page to issue JRA-5121.
Cheers,
Neal

What Practical portlet !
Just a small remark, the HREF to Filter is based on $tools.getBaseurl(), which may not be correctly updated. You should you $req.contextPath.

Thanks for you comments, appreciate it.
Vincent, will have a look at your suggestions. Don't know what Atlassian SVN is. I use Eclipse, but without maven.
Neal, Will probably adopt Vincent's CSS style modifications, and at same time correct the typos you have found and implement your design suggestions.

It just extends the com.atlassian.jira.portal.portlets.SearchRequestPortlet and uses (almost) the same velocity file.
This way it should be more consistent with the original Atlassian portlet.

What I had to do was disable the module to allow users using the portlet to remove it, and then re-add it. For people who never used the first version, it's likely not an issue. In any case, I appreciate you sharing your work with the rest of us. I could never have gotten JIRA in use as a helpdesk at my company without user-contributed improvements like yours.
P.S. - the typo in the portlet description is still there

Jes A says:

When installing the new version the portlet must be removed and added to the dashboard again, because it uses different parameters now. The advantage is that it's actually the exact same parameters as the Atlassian Show Filter portlet.
Can't promise that something like that won't happen again - that's why it hasn't passed version 1.0 yet.
The typo has been corrected - but unfortunately only in the default properties file. But anyway, my English sucks, so if you can provide a better description I would be glad to upload a new version.

(To find them)
select * from jira.portalpage
where id in
(select portalpage from jira.portletconfiguration where portlet_id=
'com.ja.jira.plugin.searchrequest:SearchRequestPortlet')
order by username
(To find the users using them)
delete from jira.portletconfiguration where portlet_id=
'com.ja.jira.plugin.searchrequest:SearchRequestPortlet'
and portalpage in (10240,10220)
(To delete the ones for users I knew were using the old portlet)

I hope that Jira didn't crash completely, but only the portlet?
Another approach would be just to configure the portlet again. That way, when it's saved, it will use the right parameters.

I had to restart it, and eventually my server ran out of memory and I.T. had to work some magic to get it back up again. To prevent this, I disabled the module before a user could visit the page. Then, when visiting the page it gives a message that the portlet is unavailable, but then it can be deleted.

If a user has configured a portlet to show a saved filter, and then they delete the filter (or the owner does), JIRA presents, in its place, a message like this:
(Edit Portlet | Delete Portlet) This portlet is no longer valid as the associated filter or field could not be retrieved.
But, in the case of your portlet, JIRA just presents a blank page (no error in the log).

In our dev organization we have default dashboard, and objective is for everybody to see the same columns. for exmaple, for unresolved issues, we want to show type, id, priority, summary, and due date. I have configured by Issue Navigator with these columns, and portal on my page shows exactly what I need. However, for everybody else it shows columns that everybody else has setup in their account.
Is their a way to force a particular set of columns to appear in this portlet?
Thank you,
Konstantin

> Is their a way to force a particular set of columns to appear in this portlet?
I'm not sure that I understand the question, because the generally idea with the portlet is to be able to do that.
Be sure that you have actually added a "Column Order" for the filter. Otherwise it will just use each users default column order from the Issue Navigator.
