How do I display graphics in the Introduction gadget in JIRA?

[HaroldJ]

I have a custom graphic (GIF or JPG) that I'd like to display in the Introduction gadget in JIRA. Where would I store this graphic in Linux and how to reference it in the HTML?

Any help would be appreciated.

I'd recommend to put all your own stuff like specific images, icons, ... in a folder my/images in the JIRA distribution. The folder my should be parallel to WEB-INF, on the same level as images. You might also put your own stuff in images but it's better to keep your own things separated from the JIRA images.

So let's suppose you put the file picture.png im my/images/picture.png as here

...
WEB-INF
...
my
-- images
    -- picture.png

you would add this to the introduction text in General Configuration:

<img src="/my/images/picture.png" />

Actually I'd recommend putting the image where the rest of the JIRA images are, the webserver has been set up by default to render images in that folder. Go to:

JIRA_INSTALL/atlassian-jira/images

From there you can make another directory like "myimages" and put your images there if you like.

So, for example if you put an image called me.png in the folder 

JIRA_INSTALL/atlassian-jira/images/myimages/me.png

You would then access it though the URL: 

http://your.jira.com/images/myimages/me.png
