Hey everyone,
I’m trying to set up my own gadgets in JIRA, but I’m not sure where to store them. Does anyone know how to create a new folder specifically for custom gadgets? I’ve scoured the settings and can’t seem to find any option for it.
I’m pretty new to JIRA management, so any guidance on whether there’s a dedicated location for these custom gadgets or if configuration files need to be modified would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Custom gadgets in JIRA can be a bit tricky to manage. From my experience, there’s no straightforward way to create a dedicated folder within the JIRA interface. However, you can organize them on the server side. Navigate to the JIRA_HOME/gadgets directory on your server and create a subfolder there for your custom gadgets. Remember to restart JIRA after making changes. If you’re not comfortable with server-side modifications, it’s best to consult with your system administrator. They can help set up the proper file structure and ensure everything is configured correctly to recognize your custom gadgets.
hey avamtz, welcome to jira! for custom gadgets, there’s no built-in folder option. you gotta manually create one in the JIRA_HOME/gadgets directory. just make a new folder there and drop your gadgets in. might need admin access tho. good luck!
As someone who’s been through the custom gadget struggle, I feel your pain. Here’s what worked for me: I created a folder called ‘custom_gadgets’ in the JIRA_HOME/gadgets directory on the server. It’s not ideal, but it gets the job done. Just remember to update your gadget XML files to point to this new location. Also, keep in mind that after every JIRA update, you might need to re-add your custom gadgets. It’s a bit of a hassle, but once you get the hang of it, it becomes second nature. If you’re not comfortable messing with server files, definitely rope in your IT team. They can set up proper permissions and make sure everything’s secure.
