display multiple users from username parameter in macro

cherie heiberg

Hi,

I'm brand new to Confluence and to Velocity. I'm trying to design a macro that will allow our users to enter multiple usernames into a parameter box in a custom macro, which will subsequently display those names in list form. My problem is I can't get it to display more than one username without breaking the code. Here's what I've come up with so far:

## Macro title: Design Status
## Macro has a body: N
## Body processing: Selected body processing option
## Output: Selected output option
##
## Developed by: cheiberg
## Date created: 05/27/2015
## Installed by: cheiberg
 
## @param Creator:title=creators|type=username|required=true|multiple=true
## @param Lead:title=leads|type=username|required=false|multiple=true
## @param Reviewers:title=reviewers|type=username|required=false|multiple=true
## @param Drivers:title=drivers|type=username|required=false|multiple=true

<ul>
<li><strong>Creator(s):</strong> 
#if( $paramCreator )
    <ac:link><ri:user ri:username="$paramCreator" /></ac:link>
#end
<li><strong>Owner(s):</strong> 
#if( $paramLead )
    <ac:link><ri:user ri:username="$paramLead" /></ac:link>
#end
<li><strong>Reviewer(s):</strong> 
#if( $paramReviewers )
    <ac:link><ri:user ri:username="$paramReviewers" /></ac:link>
#end
<li><strong>Drivers(s):</strong> 
#if( $paramDrivers )
    <ac:link><ri:user ri:username="$paramDrivers" /></ac:link>
#end
</li>
</ul>

As is, if I enter multiple usernames into Creator, for example, I'll come up with something like this: ~cheibergwwilliamson. How can I get my code to recognize that there are multiple names in a parameter and display them correctly?

Any help on this topic would be wonderful.

Thank you!

Hi,

you would have to split the string by space or similar. Something like that:

<ul>
#foreach($user in $paramCreator.split("[,]+"))
<li> <ac:link><ri:user ri:username="$user" /></ac:link></li>
#end
</ul>
