Include macro in Confluence Custom HTML

Matt Johnson

I would like to know if it's possible to include a macro in the Custom HTML at the end of the body in Confluence. We would like to add the viewtracker plugin to every page, but I've been unable to find a viable solution for that. If the macro can't be included there, does anybody have an idea how we can add those statistics to each page without having to manually add to every page?

The issue is that we would like to see the page views for blog posts, which can contain macros, however the blog posts cannot be created from a template. No template means it's totally up to the user to add the tracking info macro at creation, which could be mandated but I'm not optimistic that our userbase would always add it.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi MJ!

I don't think it's possible to include macro in Custom HTML. However, you have the option of including the macro in one of Confluence Layouts by adding the following velocity code:

$helper.renderConfluenceMacro("{macroname}")

This will render macro in the layout. You can add this in a Global Layout, Page Layout, or Blog Post Layout. However, please note that this will only work if you are using the Default Confluence Theme and not Documentation Theme.

Hope it helps!
