Is there a bug on the popular questions macro?

[Jonathan Beattie]

I've added the 'popular Questions' macro to many of my Confluence pages, with the 'Ask a Question' button included. I have also set topic tags to filter for the macro (i.e. so that it only shows Questions with these topic tags).

It looks like there is a bug with this macro, because the 'ask a question' button does not appear until a question is asked with one of the filtered topic tags. This makes for a poor user experience as people can't ask Questions directly from these Confluence pages until there is at least one question with one of the topic tags designated for that macro. This doesn't seem to make sense and I'm thinking this is a bug with the macro.

Can someone please look into this issue and let me know if/when it should be resolved?

Hello, @Bart Geens 

1) Yes it possible.

2) You'll need to get worklogs via WorklogManager and create htlm to draw table, based on worklogs.

Here is example:

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.*
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.worklog.Worklog

def issue = context.issue as Issue
def workLogManager = ComponentAccessor.getWorklogManager()
//get worklogs for issue
def logsForIssue = workLogManager.getByIssue(issue)
//draw a table via html
String fin ='<table border=\"1\"><tr><th>Author</th><th>Time Spent</th><th>Created</th></tr>'
for(Worklog worklog : logsForIssue)
{
 fin = fin +'<tr><td>'+worklog.getAuthorObject().getDisplayName() + "</td><td>" + worklog.getTimeSpent()/60 +"</td><td>"+ worklog.getCreated().toString() + "</td></tr>"
}
fin = fin +'</table>'

writer.write(fin)

 If you locate the panel at atl.jira.view.issue.right.context, it will look like this:

Hello, Bart,

1) Yes, it possible

2) You need get worklogs via WorklogManager. and create html code that draw you table
Here is example:

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.*
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.worklog.Worklog

def issue = context.issue as Issue
def workLogManager = ComponentAccessor.getWorklogManager()
//get worklogs for issue
def logsForIssue = workLogManager.getByIssue(issue)
//draw a table via html
String fin ='<table border=\"1\"><tr><th>Author</th><th>Time Spent</th><th>Created</th></tr>'
for(Worklog worklog : logsForIssue)
{
    fin = fin +'<tr><td>'+worklog.getAuthorObject().getDisplayName() + "</td><td>" + worklog.getTimeSpent()/60 +"</td><td>"+ worklog.getCreated().toString() + "</td></tr>"
}
fin = fin +'</table>'

writer.write(fin)

If you locate it at atl.jira.view.issue.right.context, it will be looks like:

@Mark Markov , Is it possible to display the linked issues of particular link type and its status under Web panel? (Script fragment)
