Since upgrade to Confluence 8.5 LiveSearch placeholder stopped working.

Hi all concerning the LiveSearch Macro

We noticed that the placeholder text is no more displayed since we upgraded from 7.19 to 8.5

Is this a know issue?

Thanks in advance for your help on this.

Hi @Pascal Lisot ,

The question is hard to answer. Would it be possible to share the atlassian-confluence.log from your Confluence home-dir?

If you have an active license, you also can contact support.atlassian.com with this.

Hi Bert,

Thanks for your advice we will check our log and contact Atlassian support Team.

Cheers,

Hello, we are having the same problem with the livesearch macro. After upgrading from 7.19.12 to 8.5.x. I have gone through the atlassian-confluence.log file, but I can't find anything that indicates that anything is wrong. The live search macro is set up restricted to @self, restrict labels: none, size: large, placeholder text: "This is a test" Content type: page, additional information: "Space name"

I have tested the page/space using the Brave browser and Firefox, both fail. Operating system: Red hat Enterprise Linux 9.

Hello, we have the exact same answer, also reproducable in 8.6.2. I raised a support issue with Atlassian.

Hi @Jörn Donneau

We also warned Atlassian but no answer so far.
There's no trace in the log files whatsoever.

In the mean time we used a temporary (quick and dirty) JavaScript at page level to add the missing placeholder attribute.

Keep me posted if you have some news.
Have a nice day,

Cheers

Hi @Ekran ,

Any fix so far?

Thx,

Hi @Pascal Lisot

Is it possible to share your preliminary (quick and dirty) JavaScript snippet?

For everyone else, this looks like the official bug issue from Atlassian:
https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-91576

Greetings,
Matthias

Hi @Matthias Jupe

Firstly you need to Copy the JavaScript path from the html inspect properties of you input.

You'll get something like this:

#main-content > div > div:nth-child(2) > div > div > div > form > fieldset > div > input

Then you need to add at page level an html macro where you can add your JavaScript to set the missing placeholder attribute.

#main-content > div > div:nth-child(2) > div > div > div > form > fieldset > div > input

").setAttribute('placeholder', 'Search by keywords');
</script>

Hope this will help.
Cheers,

Pascal
