Description/Features
If you've ever found yourself commenting simultaneously as someone else with the same information, or been faced with the dreaded "workflow has already changed" message, or just thought "I wonder if anyone else is viewing this issue right now" - then this is for you.
This plugin talks to the JIRA server in near real-time so that you can see who has the same issue as you open in the browser. You can see how many anonymous people are viewing, as well as the names of the logged in users.
You are also notified both through additional text and a colour change to the message box when the issue is either updated (amber), or when the workflow is changed (red).
The polling to the server is done every 10 seconds when you are alone - which drops to every 5 seconds if it sees someone else visiting the page, with the visitors being expired off the list every 15.
The message box is shown at both the top and bottom of the page, placing it conveniently at the top with the rest of the status information, and at the bottom where they comment box is.
Usage
The custom field just needs adding, and placing on a screen. Although we don't use the default value, we have found that setting one (with nothing in it) clears up some issues with the field not being outputted.
Installation
- Copy the jira-visitor-plugin-xxx.jar to WEB-INF/lib
- Add a new custom field of type 'View Visitors Field'
