User Profile Macro within a Table prevents editing a page

Carl Dotson

We are using a 4x4 table to showcase members of a team and using the User Profile macro within the cells.

When we populate more than the first column in the table, the entire page becomes uneditable. My Profile avatar disappears and when you go to edit the page you get nothing but a blank screen.

The first thought was the syncrony job for collaborative editing. We turned that off but the problem persists.

Then I tried combining sections and colums, but that butts up each User Profile right against the one above it, resulting in one huge blob of text and pictures in single columns

then I tried inserting a table to provide padding, and boom. The problem returns. Page becomes uneditable and my avator disappears

Hi Carl,

Can you let me know what version of Confluence I should use to replicate this and if you happen to see any error messages on the Confluence Server logs that might tell us what's happening here?

Thank you!

Hi Shannon,

We are on version 6.1.4 build 7110. I'm using the latest version of Chrome. I've narrowed it down to the User Profile macro being used in the Confluence tables. Everything is good, UNTIL you add the User Macro into a second column. Then...boop! Profile image goes blank. And you will no longer be able to view the page in EDIT mode. You need to roll back to a previous version of the page and try another route. I ended up using a combination of Section and Column macros to try and achieve the same look and feel.

I will talk to Contegix to see if they have any server logs that might help pinpoint what's going on.

Hi Shannon,

if you try to replicate this, make sure that the profile contains additional Information other than the full name and email address. It only fails if the little table is included below.

Edit: Forgot to mention -- this also fails in 6.8.1 and 6.9.1.

Cheers

Is there an issue out in bugtracker already?

Jens Iwanenko

Hi @Carl Dotson,

do you by chance also have one or the other table enhancement plugins installed? We use both Table Enhancer and xTables for different use cases. Since Table Enhancer is only active when the table is embedded in the macro body, I deactivated xTables in our staging system. With xTables deactivated, the issue is solved.

Wow! Nice catch, Jens!

Carl, @Dirk Bromberg, do update us in case you're using the same sort of plugins on your instance, and if disabling them resolves your issue.

If it does, can you share the exact add-on you're using? We can bring this to the attention of the add-on provider.

Dirk is my superior, he uses the same plugin. :-p He just wanted to have an issue he can vote on, I guess.

Thank you for the confirmation, Jens!

Hello,

Please have a look at the latest xtables version that tackles this snag

Preliminary testing is looking positive! I've tested a 4x4 table using the user profile macro to populate the cells. I have published and can still edit the page. The page is not breaking as before. So far, so good.
