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" )
