HI All

We want to include JIRA dashboard /Agile burndown inside an iframe or frame in a HTML page , which we display on a large TV set on our floor. As i understand this feature does not work since jira 4.1 and atlassian has marked this bug as wont fix.

So, i want to understand from you if there is any workaround for this bug?

The link to the existing feature request is this.

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-20988

Being able to embed a dashboard or a walboard into an iframe would be rather luminous. Provided that the user is already authenticated from Jira prior to loading the page with the frame.

This can be done now by disabling the header in the CSP that disallows it to be iFramed.

How do we do this in the Cloud version?

Unfortunately, it cannot be done with Cloud as Atlassian controls the HTTP headers sent with the HTTP request.

is there a way to share a JIRA Dashboard in a Confluence Page without showing the top menubar? :thanks @Davin Studer ?

Yes, but it is a bit of a hack. In the Jira Administration -> System -> Announcement Banner you could add this.

<script type="text/javascript">
AJS.toInit(function(){
if(top != self) {
AJS.$('#header').css('display','none'); // Hide the top nav if the page is iframed.
}
});
</script>

Wow, does that work on cloud instances too?

So, this would only work on server and data center instances. Cloud doe not let you embed custom script, css, or html.

Thanks for your prompt reply. Any alternative on the roadmap for this type of needs? I understand that this is hard to get for this parties, but in this case we are talking about Atlassian dashboards.

The JIRA wallboard has a bug in it that doesn't allow you to scroll issues.

Hi Rahul,

While this is not possible to achieve using the iFrame, you can use the JIRA Wallboard Add-On (https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.atlassian.jirawallboard.atlassian-wallboard-plugin) that will allow you to display these boards on a screen.

;)
