Error rendering macro.

Question

Hi all. I have next errors in text field on my confluence page

1. Error rendering macro 'list-data' : Unsupported type: class org.randombits.confluence.metadata.reference.WikiReference

2. Error rendering macro 'text-data' : [com.ctc.wstx.exc.WstxLazyException] Unexpected character '=' (code 61); expected a semi-colon after the reference for entity 'FolderCTID' at [row,col {unknown-source}]: [1,926]

This errors were appered after confluence update from version 3.5 to 4.2

Any idea how to solve this problem?

So, i want to describe my investigation about this problems. So, the problems with wiki reference have next reason. If i have XHTML data stored in field, confluence can return result both in String and like WikiReference Object. I write custom plugin which remigrate data from this field divided by "instance of" and all now is ok.

second problem appeared when you have some unnessassary symbols inside migrated links in my case problem was that in fields stored links with bad formats for example 2 links in one xHTML tag.

So that's answer.

Thanks for help.

Actually encountered this issue myself today. Make sure you're closing your list-data and text-data macros correctly.

Also, in our case, we were using the list-data to provide a pick-list of users in confluence-users. After migrating the page from one instance to another (via XML backup & restore), we got a randombits error message on screen. We worked out this was due to a user being present in the first instance but not the second. I'd say this is a bug, as the situation could be handled more nicely, but I'll raise that with CustomWare.
