[Confluence] How to list people watching a page (aka "Contributors macro issue" ?)

Philippe PEREZ

Hello,

The Contributors Macro is supposed to be abble to list the watchers of a page.

I can't manage to have it to work. Whatever the parameters, the macro is returning "No contributors found for: watches on selected page(s)" even if I'm watching this page. I tried in several spaces and pages (btw, I'm system administrator of this Confluence).

Is there a bug ? Bad documentation ? Or simply something I don't catch ?

We are using Confluence 5.7.3.

Hi Philippe, 

 

From the documentaiton of the macro, we can see that you are going through the right procedures to use it. However, I believe that we could be definitely facing a bug. For example, take a look at the following report:

 

Contributors Macro is not working properly for Watchers after update

I believe this is the same symptoms, since I just reproduced it using the 'Watches" and the same result was displayed. So, as we still don't have a fix version for this, by clicking on the *Watch* button, it will display an option to Manage Watchers, which will display all the page watchers for you. 

Hope it helps you, sir!
