Hi,

This is a bulk update to specific issues in the JIRA (JRA) project

As part of an effort to ensure we are transparent about the JIRA issues on jira.atlassian.com, we have decided to resolve those that have been open for multiple years with minimal activity and with a low number of votes. In light of the fact that JIRA is rapidly changing and that this issue may not be a valid request any longer, we will be resolving it today.

Votes are not the only metric that we use to determine the requests that are implemented, however they do factor in to our decision making process. We have decided that the combination of this issue being open for a long period of time, and it's low number of votes means that we are unlikely to implement it. If you would like thoughts on how we use jira.atlassian.com, please see: https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/110373/how-does-the-jira-team-use-jira-atlassian-com

If you have believe this issue is still relevant, please comment on the issue and we will respond. We are watching all these issues that we bulk close.

Best regards
Josh Devenny and Roy Krishna
JIRA Product Management

So many of the users didn't bother to add these links, so I added them to my Introduction instead. Again, they show up on the login page, but it's no big deal - I made the same change in introduction.jsp

Thanks Philip,

That did the trick!

Hi Neal,

Just place a

<webwork:if test="remoteUser">
...
</webwork:if>

after <%@ taglib uri="webwork" prefix="webwork" %>
in /portlets/dashboard/textportlet.jsp

Cheers,

Philip

1) Great idea ... I created such a portlet so users will just have to do one click to create an I.T. request (an issue in that project).

2) Not so great... it also displays those two portlets on the login page (dashboard.jspa). I'm not sure if I want it there or not.
What file would I modify (and how) to get that portlet to not show up on the login page? Obviously, the other ones like saved filters etc., don't (only the Introduction does).

> But, uh, am I being dumb (highly possible) and not seeing the "Text Portlet" in the 3.1.1 Pro Dashboard "Add portlet" screen? Is it called something else, or is it in Enterprise or 3.x?

Sorry I forgot, the text portlet is disabled by default. To enable it, go to Admin -> System -> Plugins -> Portlets plugins and enable the Text portlet.

Jeff – sounds like a good short-term hack (i.e. I'd still really like to have this link as part of the Project Portlet, but I can make do)

But, uh, am I being dumb (highly possible) and not seeing the "Text Portlet" in the 3.1.1 Pro Dashboard "Add portlet" screen? Is it called something else, or is it in Enterprise or 3.x?

Thanks!

You could do it with a Text portlet, containing HTML like:

<a href="http://localhost:8080/secure/CreateIssue.jspa?pid=10000&issuetype=1">Create Bug in TST project</a>
