Confluence: a nightmare to make simple things.

Question

Hi,

I want to insert a simple iFrame on Confluce. I appreciate the 3rd party plugin that allows me to do it. But... do I really need to install another 3rd party license plugin and answer a lot of mandatory questions before to get a license?.... And all those things to use one iFrame???

I guess Atlassian respects their partners and does not compete with them, but something basic features should not be handled by partners in that way.

Likely there was a meeting within Atlassian about it: business managers vs product managers. And the business managers won, so the product lost.

Regards,

Pablo.

Can pages from other servers (http://...) be rendered by using the xhtml macro? I got an error:

Unable to render {include} You can only link to a page or blog post.

I thought this maybe the case but why didn't they mark it obsolete like their code macro?

Having a closer look, the xhtml macro only acts as include page. Rather than adding pure html, include page of html and rss content to the page, so your way wouldn't work without a third party addition like HTML Marco.
