Add image to JIRA dashboard

[Gopal Amlekar]

Hi,

I would like to add some images to the JIRA dashboard, preferably as a gadget. I have customized a dashboard and viewing it as a wallboard slide show. It keeps showing all the gadgets one by one which is a very nice feature. This gives a real time status update of the sprint and project progress overall and looks nice in the office so all team members can view it all the time.

I would like to add a gadget in which I can upload the image of the product being worked on. This will just add up to the spice.

Is there any such gadget or plugin? I couldn't find one so asking..

Using JIRA cloud.

Thanks,

Do you have Confluence? You could use a Confluence Page gadget! https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-page-gadget-218275791.html

Thanks Steven!

No we don't have Confluence. I guess there is no other way in JIRA.

I should have also mentioned – 

There is a gadget called Introduction Gadget.

You can use Wiki Markup in the Introduction Section within Administration –

Using wikimarkup you could hot-link to another image – You can't upload it here though.

That is also a a good idea Steven.

Only thing is it will become a system wide. I won't be able to show different images of different projects at a time (for different wallboards).

Nevertheless, it works. Thanks for your inputs !

[Steven Behnke]

That is true unfortunately. It's definitely opportunity for an add-on or something Atlassian to provide.

Thanks Steven! Do you (or anyone!) know how to specify the size of the Intro gadget? I've got the full width/single column layout selected, but the gadget is only a few lines high. Max/Min/Expand don't achieve anything useful.

My requirement is "Display a full-screen (or as close as possible) image in JIRA Cloud". The goal is a wallboard slideshow that displays project data and a company roadmap. 

Project Data 1, Project Data 2, Project Data 3, Company Roadmap, Project Data 1...

The company roadmap is just an image that lives on a Confluence page where I get the URL to display with wikimarkup per the pic below...

Update...it displays the full image in wallboard mode. Screen top right, but it'll get me moving.

I don't have an answer (on the contrary, also looking for answers!). In my case, I am looking to add an image of the Burndown Chart (widget) so that when I look at previous Dashboards, I'm not seeing a message that says, "There are no Active sprints" in place of where the Widget would be.

A widget that allows you to paste images in it, would be nice.

There is a built-in gadget type that allows you enter HTML text, that it will just display.

Using that, nothing prevents you from displaying an image, assuming that image is available via an URL.

[Steven Behnke]

Agreed but this person had marked jira-cloud as a label, there are no html gadgets in that version.

There is also another workaround (but not so nice):

- Install and add the "Custom Content for Jira" gadget

- Create a dummy issue and attach an image

- Open the attached picture and copy the url

- Link in the "Custom Content for Jira" gadget to this url

The Confluence Page Display gadget has been deprecated. The replacement is the Rich Text Gadget.

Rather than pointing at a Confluence page you have to enter content directly into the gadget. 

It supports the usual RTF formatting and can include images.
