Editing jira issues in a grid - jira

I am looking for a plugin that will allow me to edit searched jira issues in a grid - much like excel. Couldn't really find one in the jira market place section or on google. So question 1 - is there a plugin (free or paid) that I can use to do this.
I also looked at what it would take to create a custom plugin to support this functionality. I looked at Jira Search Request View. I was wondering if we can use this with a view that allows editing of the individual fields displayed in the search grid. I will have to figure out the details on how inline editing would work and how stuff would get saved, but at a high level does this sound plausible?
Note - This approach may sound naive, but I have no background in doing development on Jira API

With JExcel you can edit JIRA issues just like in Excel.

I hope it helped,

Rally SDK 2 - Given a story A and a story B, how can I say that B is a successor of A thanks to Javascript API?

I'm using the Rally SDK 2 to manipulate user stories from Javascript in a "Custom HTML" application.
I can query a story and retrieve its attributes.
I can update some of the attributes, like the Name of the Iteration for instance.
How can I add a successor to my story?
If I understand well, I should edit the "/HierarchicalRequirement/.../Successors" of my story, but I don't understand how to do that.
Would someone have an example, please?
Unfortunately, I don't have an exact example you can use, but the successors (or predecessors) are 'collections'. As such, you need to 'add' to the collection. There is an explanation of some of this here: https://docs.ca.com/ca-agile-central/saas/apps/2.1/doc/#!/guide/collections_in_v2
Built into the model for the artefact are routines to handle all the details. If you want more details, then you can download the sdk-debug.js file from the Rally server. To get to it, open up the developer tools in your browser and have a look where a custom app would get the sdk.js file from. The debug variant is formatted for humans to read and a very useful source of how to do things at the low levels. The definition of Rally.data.wsapi.ModelFactory has some good tips.
One of the recommendations I make to people starting out writing custom apps, is to use the developer tools in the browser to watch the network traffic that the Rally UI makes - and then work backwards to code.

TFS custom bug entry page for non technical users?

To help my company better adopt using TFS i'd like to see if a custom web page could be made so the end user has no idea they're entering a bug into TFS. They find the TFS2012 web based GUI confusing. They are business users and able to write out a problem in a web app, the reproduction steps and expected result but they always forget to set certain fields which makes their entries not show up in my query.
I figured creating a custom web page that inserts the bug into TFS would help. Anyone know if this is possible?
You need to develop a web page which uses TFS API to create a bug. Please see below link which has sample code to create bugs using API.

UI Dialog to search and add clients to a list

I need to implement a dialog for a web application (ASP.NET/C#) where users can search and select one or more clients from the company's database.
Actually an existing version is already used (see attached image) and I have to replace it with a new version (it comes from an external legacy software and will be dismissed).
The goal is to provide an intuitive and easy to use GUI, still providing the basic functionalities like: search for a client and add it or remove previously inserted.
My idea would be to develop the dialog with jQuery Dialog plugin and using web methods and Ajax/JSON to interact with them for interacting with the server and the DB. I cannot find a good solution yet for the contacts list, since I would avoid using GridViews or tables, if possible, for listing them.
Does anyone knows if further plugins or best patters exist for develop this UI and its functionalities?
I wanted to have the same in my application. After talking to the users i found that such dialog could easily be replaced by an Autocomplete with Multiple select.
See the jqueryUI demopage here.
If this does not fit your needs i would go with two lists <ol> or <ul>, a pagination plugin and perhaps a search plugin. But haven't done this so far.
Thanks for the hint, indeed for the search I also thought to a autocomplete for make the search easier.
My bigger concerns were about the Add and Remove selected Clients in a "modern" fashion.
I found this MultiSelect plugin that works perfectly for my needs (and maybe it could be useful for yours as well).
Not only it let use Multiselect to add/remove entries, but also have some auto-filtering capabilities when searching the entries. I will try to add this to my solution.

Google Calendar Event GUI

does anybody know, where I can find the Google Calendars Event-GUI?
I'm building an social networking site, which relies on google calendar.
For adding and changing events, I want to use googles GUI (i dont want to code this myself if there is a partial/control already existing).
Does anybody know where I can find this?
Checkout http://code.google.com/apis/calendar/ it's the full API documentation from Google. If what you want to do is supported, it's almost certainly written about here somewhere.
If you take a look at the docs page, there is a "Calendar Tools" section on the left hand side bar that has the tools available, including gadgets and an embeddable calendar.
If you want to code something yourself you'll probably want to look at retrieving events, updating events and creating events.
This article may also be helpful to you. http://www.google.com/googlecalendar/event_publisher_guide.html#site
Although that is to embed just your calendar.

How to integrate Sharepoint Community Features

I have a web site for showing different reports like these examples
http://contoso.com/report.aspx?id=1
http://contoso.com/report.aspx?id=2
In each report page I want to embed a Sharepoint control that will allow me to:
Start a discussion for each report
Add Comment/response to the existing thread for the report
Rate the report on a scale of 1 to 5 and provide comments
As is implicit, a Sharepoint forum will be the backing store and can be accessed directly as well.
Is this possible in Sharepoint 2007? How difficult if so?
How can I implement such a scenario?
To best answer your question, I need to know what a report actually is. I assume a report is a Word document.
You probably need to do some custom coding for this to work well. One approach might be:
Create a Document Library.
Create a Discussion Forum.
Add a column to the Document library for storing the rating on a scale of 1-5.
Create a WebPart that displays the document and it's metadata including your score.
Have an event receiver or Workflow on the Document Library that creates a new top level thread each time a report it added with the title of the document as the subject.
Have code in your webpart that queries for all items in the discussion forum where the thread starting title is the name of the document, and display the thread.
It would probably require some C# and WebPart development skills to accomplish this task. Not something a beginner could do.
