User Macro to set page properties no longer working in Confluence 7.4

Moritz Wagner

Hello I have a relatively simple user macro to set some page properties, sadly it stoped working whith the upgrade to Confluence 7.4 and the macro test is just displayed on the confluence page without being evaluated at all. Maybe anyone here has an idea what changed from confluence 6.15 to 7.4 that can break this code so badly...

## Macro title: 
## Macro has a body: Y
## Body processing: None
## Output: None
## Developed by: Moritz Wagner
## Date created: dd/mm/yyyy

## @param Template:title=Template|type=string|required=true|desc=The template this document is based on
## @param Version:title=Template version|type=string|required=true|desc=The Version of this Template
## @param Valid:title=Template valid since|type=date|required=true|desc=The date since this template version is valid

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

$contentPropertyManager.setTextProperty($content, "templateInfo.title", $paramTemplate)
$contentPropertyManager.setTextProperty($content, "templateInfo.version", $paramVersion)
$contentPropertyManager.setTextProperty($content, "templateInfo.valid", $paramValid)
$contentPropertyManager.setTextProperty($content, "templateInfo.ticketNb", $body)

Thanks very much in advance,

Moritz

Hi @Moritz Wagner

I had the same issue and found some helpful information in the developer community:

Cant use contentpropertymanager anymore in user macro since 7.0.3
or even here in the community: Community Post

You can use the $content.getProperties() and don't have to use the ContentPropertyManager anymore.

#set ( $props = $content.getProperties() )
#set ( $newProps = $props.setStringProperty("templateInfo.title", $paramTemplate) )

Thank you Dominic, I'm also having this problem however I believe Moritz and I are using:

setTextProperty

Not:

setStringProperty

So this solution doesn't appear to work (at least for me). I'm unable to access the data previously saved with the ContentPropertyManager and the setTextProperty method.
