Jim RyanThis is EXACTLY what we needed! It fixes two major weaknesses of the standard "Activity Stream" dashboard gadget that comes with JIRA.
The standard built-in activity stream gadget in JIRA has two big problems. It does not allow you to select only activities you are interested in, so it displays every single kind of update, which clutters the feed. We are only interested in seeing when a card is created, and when a comment is posted. Also, the standard gadget doesn't let you just choose a saved filter in order to select the issues to be displayed. Instead, the standard gadget uses a stripped down filter. You can only filter by six different fields. You can't filter by label, which was a huge limitation for us.
This "Filters Activity Stream" gadget fixes these two issues. We can choose to only see "Issue Created" and "Comment" activity. We can also just choose an existing saved JQL query to select the issues.
This is perfect. It's exactly what we wanted.
There was a small bug that I discovered after installing. I filed a bug report and the developers had fixed it within a few hours. Also, I requested a feature enhancement. They added the new feature within hours. They are very responsive. Every JIRA plugin developer should be this good!
