To allow more transparent access to the JIRA bugtracker, it is possible to integrate the confluence wiki with the tracker. This way people can immediately see bugs/feature requests that are posted in JIRA and go to the correct JIRA page from confluence.

• Enable the JIRA plugin from confluence
• Set up a trusted communication between confluence and JIRA
• Usernames between confluence and JIRA must match - this will be the case in conflu 3 with federated access.

Step 1: Obtain the URL of the Issue Filter

• Main navigation bar go to: 'issues'/'new filter'.
• Select the project you wish to find issues from.
• Select the type of issues from the dropdown box.
• Set up any other custom search parameters if you wish.
• Click on the button: 'view'.
• Click on the 'views' button on the right hand side
• Right click on 'XML' and select 'copy link location'

Step 2: Embed the Issue Filter URL onto your Confluence Page

• Log in to Confluence.
• Edit the page where you wish to display the list of JIRA issues.
• Type the following text into a new line at the appropriate location:

  {jiraissues:url=CONTENT}

• Replace 'CONTENT' with the JIRA filter URL from step 1.
• Customise the macro output by adding optional parameters.
• Save the page.
