do we have an option to manually install plugin , I see that plugin has download option in marketplace and I was able to download the jarfile. how do we manually install Jira plugin

Hello,

You need to be a Jira System Administrator. You should go to cog wheel -> Add-ons -> Manage add-ons and then click the Upload add-on button.

hi Alexey, 

Just uploading the jar file will do ?

[Alexey Matveev]

Yes, it will do

[Padmasree P]

I have few plugins which is installed in the old version of Jira. when I search it in marketplace they are not available. I need them to be installed in the latest version of Jira. how do we do this

[Padmasree P]

currently I'm searching using the plugin name. but I'm not able to find it in the marketplace

[Alexey Matveev]

If you can not find a plugin, it could be that this plugin is not supported anymore. What is the name of the plugin?

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

You do not. 

You should never install add-ons that are not compatible with your Jira.  The plugin manager only shows you add-ons that are compatible.

If you have old plugins that are no longer compatible, you will need to

• work out how to work without them
• ask the authors for an update
• find a replacement

Hi Alexey/Nic,

few plugins are below, this is installed in Jira 6. I tried a search in https://marketplace.atlassian.com/, but it is not available. how do we identify whether plugins are available as feature in Jira 7 and above

estimate vs actual chart
HiQo Confluence Links for JIRA
Automation Module
Issue Reindexing Listener
Applinks Diagnostics Plugin
JIRA Automation Plugin
JIRA Automation SPI
JIRA Calendar Plugin
JIRA Charting Plugin
JIRA Drag and Drop Attachment Plugin
JIRA Linker Plugin
JIRA SSL Add-on
JIRA Agile

Look at the marketplace entries for them, they say what versions of Jira the current add-on is for in the header of each.

Note that you won't find "Jira Agile" - this becomes "Jira Software" when you move to 7.  You should have upgraded to Jira Software 7.0 when you upgraded from 6.4, as that will bring in all the old "agile" data correctly.

I found info about a couple of plugins:

estimate vs actual chart - I do not know of such plugin.

Issue Reindexing Listener - I ve never heard of such plugin and I did not found it.

HiQo Confluence Links for JIRA - I found it on bitbucket. But could not find on marketplace.

Hi Nic,

1.I tried searching above mentioned addons in https://marketplace.atlassian.com/ . but I'm not able to find it. is there a way we can get the addon details or refine the search in marketplace with vendor information.

2.For Jira Agile, should I search for Jira Software in marketplace. how do I get the information when addon names/vendor change when we move to higher version.

3.Also I came to know when we upgrade Jira , few addons may be added as a inbuilt feature in the upgraded version. how do we get to know this when we upgrade manually.

4.the above mentioned addons are working in Jira 6, but they are not available in marketplace. how do I know whether addon name/vendor is changed. how do I get the information for those addons.

please help

1.  See what Alexey said about them

2. I already said what to do about that

3. See what Alexey said

4. See my comment about the three options you have when an add-on is not longer valid.

Hi Alexey,

will there be any change in plugin vendor when we move from lower version to higher version plugin. 

how do I get to know about change in plugin name when we move from lower version to higher one, like Jira agile was changed to Jira software. where can I refer this information.

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Vendors of plugins do not change often, are always documented, and the plugins usually provide automatic upgrade paths if they do.  Notable ones I remember would be the Jira Suite Utilities going to Beecom, and Adapatavist taking up ScriptRunner, the Kanoah apps, and Project Configurator (Adaptavist kept the people as well as the Apps)

[Alexey Matveev]

@Padmasree P you can find all info about plugin changes by googling or asking in Community or asking vendors. I do not think there are other ways.
