    Can the Wallboard gadget be added to JIRA Studio instances?

    I was really excited about this until it took me to the JIRA issue page instead of keeping everything in the gadget like on the Rapid Board itself. Are their plans to make it act like the Rapid Board?

    That would be great!

    After upgrading to JIRA 5 and Greenhopper 5.9, the Rapid Board Wallboard gadget on the dashboard is too wide.  We are using the 2 column template and have 4 columns on the Rapid Board, but only 3 columns show on the dashboard.  Is there any way to resize the width of the Rapid Board?

      No. Ive played with this too, cant seem to change any column widths or size at all via 'edit' mode, which is disappointing. 

      Also, the fonts are huge causing it to fall of the page, and no scrollbars appear. So, this is pretty crappy

    This would be a good idea except the minimum refresh time is 15 minutes. 15 minutes!! How about 30 seconds? I could refresh a whiteboard in 15 minutes.

    I would like to show the burndown chart on the wallboard, not the task board.  Any way to do that?

      The last version of GreenHopper added a Burndown Chart gadget for Rapir Boards. Now you can show it.

    Nice tool. So thanks for that. But I always get an error message when moving an item into another column using drag'n'drop:

    Communications Breakdown

    The JIRA server could not be contacted. This may be a temporary glitch or the server may be down.Close this dialog and press refresh in your browser.

    Nevertheless the issue is transitioned but I still have to reload the whole page manually to get rid of the error message and actually see the item in its new column. So there seems to be no problem with moving the item (or at least updating its status) but maybe with the automatic reload or something else?

    Is this a bug or do I need to configure JIRA in a certain way?

    Any help here would be nice. Thanks and best regards,

    Marcus Freyer

    What about items that are below the display in the shown example?

    When will they be displayed?

    Such a list does not always fit on one wallboard screen.

      Agree. The gadget needs a way to manage larger boards. In our team, since we're working from top to bottom on user stories (following their priority), once a user story is Done, we fold its swimlane and hide the child Technical Tasks. The same feature would be useful for the Wallboard gadget.

    I agree with our anonymous friend, it ought to page through so all the content is displayed. In my current display, only the first two developers are shown...and not even all of the second dev's tasks.

    Hi,

    is it possible to move tasks  from one column to other in GreenHopper  wallboard gadget?
    I can move issues in KanBan board, but cannot in the gadget (created from the same board).

    Thanks
