Listing Space Admins on Page Not Found and Not Permitted pages

[Sam Hall]

Somewhat related to this question... Know space administrators

I'd like to embed this list of Space Admins on the pages that come up most commonly when people try to email a link to someone that's not permitted to view it.

From poking around, I've noticed that the templates in question are primarily these three:

confluence/notpermitted.vm <- Space permissions
confluence/pages/pagenotpermitted.vm <- Page restrictions
confluence/404.vm <- Space and page restrictions (and 404)

Am I allowed to embed my own velocity code in there or does that void my warranty? Is there a less brutal option?

This is what I've got so far. A new template I've added to the confluence directory...

confluence/spaceadmins.vm

#set($querystring=$req.getQueryString())
##<p>$querystring</p> <!--uncomment for debugging-->
#if($querystring)
  ## Try pulling a spacekey out of the query string
  #if($querystring.toLowerCase().contains("key="))
    #set($pos1=$querystring.toLowerCase().indexOf("key=")+4)
    #set($pos2=$querystring.indexOf("&",$pos1))
    #if($pos2==-1)
      #set($pos2=$querystring.length())
    #end
    #set($spacekey = $querystring.substring($pos1,$pos2))
  #elseif($querystring.contains("pageId="))
    #set($pos1=$querystring.indexOf("pageId=")+7)
    #set($pos2=$querystring.indexOf("&",$pos1))
    #set($Integer = 0)
    #if($pos2==-1)
      #set($pos2=$querystring.length())
    #end
    #set($pageid = $querystring.substring($pos1,$pos2))
    #set($spacekey=$pageManager.getPage($Integer.parseInt($pageid)).getSpaceKey())
  #end
  ## Validate any spacekey we might have gotten
  #if($spacekey)
    #set($space=$spaceManager.getSpace($spacekey))
  #end
  #if($space)
    If you believe this is an error, please contact any of the
    <a href="$req.contextPath/display/$space.getKey()">$space.getKey()</a> Space Administrators below:
    <ul>
    #set($admincount=0)
    ## List groups...
    #foreach ($permission in $space.getPermissions())
      #if($permission.isGroupPermission() && $permission.getType() == "SETSPACEPERMISSIONS")
        #set($admincount=$admincount+1)
        <li>
          #set ( $groupString = $permission.getGroup() )
          #set ( $groupObject = $userAccessor.getGroup($groupString) )
          #set ( $memberList = $userAccessor.getMemberNamesAsList($groupObject) )
          (group) $groupString <a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="AJS.$('.hidgroup_$admincount').show();AJS.$(this).hide();">[ expand ]</a>
          <ul class="hidgroup_$admincount" style="display:none">
             #foreach ($member in $memberList)
               #if(!$userAccessor.isDeactivated($member))
                 <li>#usernameLink($member)</li>
               #end
             #end
          </ul>
        </li>
      #end
    #end
    ## List users...
    #foreach ($permission in $space.getPermissions())
      #if ($permission.isUserPermission() && $permission.getType() == "SETSPACEPERMISSIONS")
        #if(!$userAccessor.isDeactivated($permission.getUserName()))
          #set($admincount=$admincount+1)
          <li>#usernameLink($permission.getUserName())</li>
        #end
      #end
    #end
    </ul>
    #if ($admincount==0)
      <p>
        No space administrators found, this space may have been deleted or abandoned.
        You may report this issue to the <a href="$req.contextPath/contactadministrators.action">Site Administrators</a>.
      </p>
    #end
  #end
#end

Then I add this to the templates where ever it seems like a good place to list space admins:

#parse ( "/spaceadmins.vm" )
