Hey Liferay!

I love your community feedback page! I was wondering what you were using to drive it. I see that it integrates with Jira, and it looks almost exactly what I'm looking to use.

Any chance you could help steer me in the right direction?

Hey Scott, welcome to the community! If you're referring to the Ideas Dashboard, it uses several Liferay WCM articles and templates (which contain a bunch of javascript) to render each view (the categories, lists of issues, participants, etc), by calling into the built-in JIRA REST web services on issues.liferay.com.

For example, here's the REST URL used to retrieve the latest 50 ideas created in the last 2 weeks:
https://issues.liferay.com/rest/api/latest/search?jql=project%20in%20%28LPS%29%20AND%20type%20%3D%20%22Feature%20Request%22%20AND%20createdDate%20%3E%20startOfDay(%22-14d%22)%20ORDER%20BY%20updatedDate%20DESC&maxResults=50&jsonp-callback=_56_INSTANCE_zyOJArq90x3U_parseIssues
.
It uses JIRA's REST api for searching, which allows you to pass in a JQL query and get back results as a JSONP response. The javascript then parses this and then retrieves details of each returned issue, and formats it using Google's DataTable visualization.
