Can I make the User Properties field viewable by any user?

[Michael I.]

Hi all.

Is there posiible to make the field "User Properties" in user`s profile viewable by all users, not only for administrators?

[Radek Kantor · Accepted solution]

What is your JIRA version? I have own plugin for v4.4.3.

[Michael I.]

xrakan, I`m using JIRA v4.4.4 and going to upgrade it to v5.0, but it will be very helpful, if you will share this plugin for me - I can made required changes to make it compatible with JIRA 5.0

[Radek Kantor]

Give me some email contact, where send codes. Mayby later I will release it officially on plugin exchange.

[Michael I.]

Please send it on acd13@mail.ru

[Radek Kantor]

Plugin send, give feedback if works correctly.

[Michael I.]

This is very useful plugin, thank you a lot! Sorry for so slowly responce.

Hi,

I released my JIRA Public User Properties plugin, available at:

Atlassian marketplace: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/cz.rk.jira.plugin.pup

Sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/jirapup/

Wiki Page: http://sourceforge.net/p/jirapup/wiki/Home/

thanks!,Ragek.

it's really a usefull plugin.

[fabby]

Ragek,

i find a small bug of your plugin.the plugin doesn't take effect for IE8.

in chrome and firefox,it works ok!

[Radek Kantor]

I will check this, look like some javascript issue.

[Radek Kantor]

IE8 compatibility fixed in v0.1.1

Hi,

We have the same issue. I'm going to look into Buzz, but we need beyond the Phone Number. Our users want to be able to see the Client, Region, phone number and a flag when they hover over a User. I have gotten around this by using post-functions to copy the User Properties into custom fields onto each issue that a customer creates. But I would like to be able to let the non-administrators see User properties.

If anyone else has more suggestions....let me know...

Susan

You may add as many features as you need in user-popup, like mentioned here (abut user phone): https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/Adding-phone-number-web-item/qaq-p/295994

Tie between your custom element inside popup and your plugin servlet, handling request may provide any functionality - with dialog or not, as you prefer.

You can use this http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRACOM/Using+JavaScript+to+Set+Custom+Field+Values

[Sergey Papurin]

You can use properties fields in user profiles. (Adding a property to user)

http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Managing+Users

Just add:

key - ext phone

value - 1234

When you click on username, you'll see his phone number.

Also you can use jQuery or Javascript to display it in issues.

[Radek Kantor]

Of course, but these properties are by default visible only to administrators, as Michael wrote. Must implement some code, to be visible to all users.

[Sergey Papurin]

Ok, may be database-plugin will help https://plugins.atlassian.com/plugins/org.deblauwe.jira.plugin.database-values-plugin

[Thomas Schlegel]

maybe you can add the phone number in brackets to the user's full name... But it's not really nice...

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

You'll definitely need code. There's no "user level fields" in Jira, so you'll need to write something that adds them.

In this case, I'd actually be very tempted to dive into core Jira code and amend the stuff that displays the users name on the comment and add a bit of code like "if user property of telephone number exists, then show it here"

Until you've had time to do that, you could simply ask your users to include a number in their name. e.g. having a display name like "Nic B (ext 45678)"

[Michael I.]

Hi, Nic.

In some cases we need to call by phone to user, who added a comment to an issue. As you can see, custom fields are not very useful in this case. Maybe you can give me a tip how I can configure it (or implement by plugin)?

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Could you expand on why it doesn't work? My guess is that you want the properties to show on the users profile page instead of on issues (which isn't really what properties are intended for, although that's a different discussion)?

[Michael I.]

Thank you for the answer, but this solution is not fits.

Jira toolkit plugin provides a user property customfield . I dont know whether user properties can be made viewable to all users but you show user properties in a customfield provided by jira toolkit plugin.
