Converting images from legacy editor does not work well

Ute Dwenger

Hi,
I am new here and trying to prepare a migration from Server to Cloud installation.

In the legacy editor I created a page just as a container for icon images (above the root page of the space) to have all the images centralized and be accessible by other pages.
Therefore I used in a huge number of pages the feature of the legacy editor to add an image from a different page.
When converting the migated pages to the new editor the pages still looks fine but when editing the page and hovering over the image I get this hint when editing the "link":
When using e.g. Scroll Viewport as a help center these images cannot be shown inline and are rendered very ugly.

I already get the hint to re-add manually all the icons to the pages which is really a nightmare!

As the broken "link" to these images is not directly visible when looking at a page (!), would there be a possibility to get a kind of “problem-report” where all the pages are listed which might have this problem ?
Otherwise there is a huge risk of overlooking one or more pages with this “defect”.

Hello @Ute Dwenger and welcome to the community.

Can't offer a bullet proof solution just some observations and things I did that might help set you on the right track.

 

The best way to use one page as an image repository for Confluence (and Viewport) is to use excerpt and excerpt include macro.

You can keep that page in your normal tree and use the Viewport's exclude page macro.

The last time I checked, Viewport did not displayed the page that was outside of the tree (above the root page).

Also, you can now specify (in the Editor) whether you want to use an image as an inline image. I don't know if Viewport supports this as we don't use inline images.
