Create Jira plugin to add a tab page to the Activity tab of an issue

[Rob McElroy]

Hi -

I want to create a Jira plugin that adds a tab page to the Activity tab. I want this new tab page to query an external data source that is exposed as a service returning Json.

I would rather write javascript that performs an ajax request to load this data and parse it.

Can someone point me in the right direction to get started.

Do I need a Java class for this?

Thanks,

Create a plugin module "ISSUE TAB PANEL":

Then create a javascript file and implement this code.

function getBoards() {

	AJS.$.ajax({
	  url: "https://yourserver.de/rest/greenhopper/1.0/rapidviews/list",
	  type: "GET",
	  dataType: "json",
	  success: function(response){

	    		for (n = 0; n < response.views.length; n++) {
				 // do something
	  }
	});

}

Embed this file via WebResourceManager in your velocity template.

This AJAX call get all rapid views from Greenhopper. I hope, this will help you!

Hi Mathias -

Thanks for your response.

What I want to do is add a tab page to the Activity tab of an issue. I'm not sure how the code you listed will do that.

Where would this code go?
