How to integrate Rich Filter into Confluence after Atlassian removed gadgets?

[Janek Schumann]

Dear AppFire,
Dear Community,

After updating our Confluence to 9.2.0 we noticed that Atlassian removed gadgets.
Now, all our pages using - for example, but not restricted to - AppFire's Rich Filter for Jira gadgets cannot render the content:

Atlassian hasn't released the app yet:

• https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/gadgets-moved-to-a-marketplace-app-from-confluence-9-2-onwards-1431545691.html
• https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-98800
  • the beta version doesn't seem to work in our configuration
  • only a limited list of product versions are compatible...
    ... and of course, we are running Jira 9.12.15, not 9.12.17 or 10.x.

Any thoughts on how to solve this?
Is there a "Rich Filter for Confluence" planned to solve this hack job of an integration going through Gadgets?

Cheers,
Janek

Hey @Janek Schumann , sorry for the late reply!

I totally get how frustrating it is to lose the native External Gadgets and not be able to continue your usual workflow.

The good news is that we’re about to release a Rich Filters extension for Confluence DC to replace External Gadgets, making it easier and more reliable to embed Rich Filters gadgets in Confluence. It’s launching on Mid-April, and we might even have a Beta available earlier. Announcements will be sent soon.

If you ever have questions or need help with anything Rich Filters related, I’d also recommend opening a support ticket—we can usually help much faster there.

Let me know if you have any questions!

@Ivan Garcia _Appfire_ - Will there be an additional charge for that extension/add-on for Confluence?

@Ivan Garcia _Appfire_

Its early May, has this been released yet? We've received no notifications and it's not found in the marketplace.

Hi @Jeramy  @Jeremy Jedlicka @Janek Schumann 

Sorry for the late reply—we ran into a few unexpected delays. Rich Filters::Reports and Charts for Confluence extension will be paid but priced at under 15% of the main RF app’s tiered cost. We expect to release it in the next 2–3 weeks once it’s approved on the Marketplace.

If you’d like exact pricing, please email me at ivan.garcia [at] appfire [dot] com and let me know your current user tier so I can send the right numbers and help you prepare.

Apologies again for the hold-up, and thanks for your patience!

Best,
Iván

Hi @Janek Schumann 

It is best to raise a support ticket here. I am certain Appfire will advise you on how to take action as soon as possible.

I talked to some of our power users today.

I'll use that to convince people to move to Jira Dashboards instead of recreating Jira Dashboard functionality in Confluence using Gadgets. Maybe a good thing: use the right tool for the job, not the one which makes it somehow possible-ish. 😅
