How can I modify a predefined gadget?

[Fieran Mason-Blakley]

Hello Atalassian Community -

I am working with the "Resolution Time" gadget.

I would like to modify how resolution time is calculated ---

in progress->resolved instead of created->resolved

I also want to subdivide stories by story point to create a clustered bar chart.

This is proving way more difficult that it seems it should be.

Any advice on how to get started?

It sounds like it might be easiest to query the data from the DB and built the chart in excel -- it won't give me the nice inline widget that I get for using a JIRA gadget, Confluence Macro or ezBI widget, but gets me to a similar end with less frustration --- would just need to swallow the lack of integration as a cost of the more quickly developed solution.

Hi,

I suppose it may not be achieved using this Jira Gadget (as highlighted by Nic).

Do you have Confluence as well? If so, my quick thoughts will be to make use of Confluence Macros for the same.

You would need to write your own version of the plugin that provides the gadget.

Do you mean get the source code and extend a class or something to that effect? I was expecting I might be able to modify the configuration in the UI to do something slightly different --- sort of like is available in EasyBI

Yes, but you'll need to do significantly more than just extend a class, you need to be amending the data processing it does, and adding code for displying the things that aren't in there already.
