Task lists

In order to include Jira issues on Confluence, use the jiraissues macro. See http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/JIRA+Issues+Macro.

It requires XML input from Jira. This can be a search query (use the permalink) but not a saved shared filter (Why ). The easiest way to get the correct URL is to load a filter (saved or generated on the fly) and collect the "XML" URL from views menu to the upper right of the table of tasks. Paste that into the a {jiraissues|url=...} tag, and it should make a Jira task table in Confluence.

Parameters for jiraissues (separated by |):

• url= starts with http://www.oceanobservatories.org/tasks/sr/jira.issueviews:searchrequest-xml/temp/SearchRequest.xml?
• etc

Parameters for the search Query:

• priority=1 (blocker) 2 (critical) 3 (major) 4 (minor) 5 (trivial)
• component=<id>
• ...

Shortcuts

The Confluence wiki system is setup with a global short cut to make linking to Jira tasks easier. Instead of making a bunch of [My Jira Task|https://www.oceanobservatories.org/tasks/browse/CISOMETHING-123] links in pages, the same result can be obtained by simply entering the ID of the bug, followed by "@jira" in a link. For example [CISOMETHING-123@jira] will generate a little text link to the CISOMETHING-123 task in Jira. Hopefully this will make it easier to enter links to Jira tasks since all that is needed is the task ID, not the whole browse URL.
