Jira activity stream items - templates?

[Cathy]

How can I modify how items appear in the Jira activity stream? For example, can I get a changeset description to appear in list view? Or set background colour of specific items?

Are there configurable templates for activity stream items?

You'll want to make a custom ActityStreamProvider.

There is some documentation under Step 4 here - https://developer.atlassian.com/display/DOCS/Making+your+own+Activity+Streams+Provider#MakingyourownActivityStreamsProvider-Step4.Makeafeeditem(aStreamsEntry)

You can see there that you can indeed add custom HTML to a stream entry so you could potentially format anything and anyhow you want. Hope that points you in the right direction :)

Could a custom provider override activity stream items already coming from, say, FishEye?
