Label list macro: ignore numeric labels

Question

Hi there!

I am looking for a solution to list all labels of a space as in the list-label macro. However, as there are hundreds of document numbers in our spaces, I would like to ignore all labels that start with a number.

Maybe there is an easy way of writing a short user macro. Anyone?

Yes, you can! It will be some work, but you can walk through pages to get a list of labels. Take a look at this macro for some guidance:

Maybe the getLabels() method works for retrieving all the labels in space?

https://docs.atlassian.com/atlassian-confluence/5.9.9/com/atlassian/confluence/labels/LabelManager.html

OR, you may be able to render the label-list macro within a user macro, and RegEx filter the list from there.

Hi @Max E

I am not really a developer so i can't solve this without some help of someone that knows javascript.

If you or someone on your team has this knowledge you should be able to write a small javascript file that uses regex to do a check on all the labels and remove or hide them if necessary.

This will work perfectly in a user macro.
