How to add labels to confluence page via user macro?

Michael Rosenberger_04scl9

Before Confluence 7.1.0 we used the following, to automatically add labels in a user macro:

#set($labelManager=$containerContext.getComponent('labelManager'))

#set($success = ${content.labelUtil.addLabel('label-text', $action.labelManager, $content)})

This does not longer work with the update to Confluence 7.1.0. There seems to be no label manager anymore.

How to programatically set labels via user macro in Confluence 7.1.0?

Hey @Michael Rosenberger,

the "com.atlassian.confluence.labels.LabelManager#addLabel(com.atlassian.confluence.core.ContentEntityObject;com.atlassian.confluence.labels.Label;) int" method is one of the deprecated methods that have been removed with Confluence 7.

From looking at the Java docs it seems like you'll need to use the createLabel() method instead. However, since this method expects to be passed an object of the type Label I'm not sure whether it is feasible to use this API in a user macro.

Cheers,
Sven

Hey,

thank you for your helpful replay. Unfortunately I am still not able to use the labelManager in the user macro. I think the problem is, that it not gets instantiated correctly.

I created a test macro with the following code. It does not remove the labels of the page where it is inserted. I first tired to add a label, but with no luck. No I used the removeAllLabels()-Method to test, but it also does not work.

#set($containerManagerClass=$action.class.forName('com.atlassian.spring.container.ContainerManager'))
#set($getInstanceMethod=$containerManagerClass.getDeclaredMethod('getInstance',null))
#set($containerManager=$getInstanceMethod.invoke(null,null))
#set($containerContext=$containerManager.containerContext)
#set($labelManager=$containerContext.getComponent('labelManager'))


#set($success = $labelManager.removeAllLabels($content))

How to initialize and use the labelManager correctly?

Sorry, no idea. I think you should probably write an actual Java macro and let Confluence inject the LabelManager properly into your Macro class. This would be a lot easier and more flexible than trying to poke around with reflection inside a user macro.

Did you ever get something working, @Michael Rosenberger ? Struggling w/ the exact same problem.

Hi Matt,

we did not manage to get it to work with a user-macro only. So we actually wrote a Java Macro that does the job.

Cheers

Oh nice. I actually started exploring a JS solution before I looked into the user macro approach! Any chance you might share what you came up with?

(FWIW, using this JS, I was able to add labels to 'this' page - but not children pages)

<script type="text/javascript">

//=============================
AJS.$(window).load( function () {

var children = $('.plugin_pagetree_children_span');
var projectID = AJS.params.pageId;
var childId;

for(let i=0; i<children.length; i++){

//IDs are stored like this by pagetree macro: "childrenspan154443288-0"
//so gotta extract the "154443288" part
childId = children.get(i).id.substr(12,8);

alert("i=" + i + " id=" + childId );

AJS.Labels.addLabel("projectId" + AJS.params.pageId, AJS.params.pageId, AJS.params.contentType);
//AJS.Labels.addLabel("AA", childId, AJS.params.contentType);

//TODO: figure out why ^^^ won't allow me add a label to a different page? 

}




});



</script>
