Confluence Objects in User Macros

[dborsboom]

Is it possible to access more Confluence Objects in the User Macro editor than the four that are listed on this page?

http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Guide+to+User+Macro+Templates#

I know I can call $action, though I dont know what Object belongs with that variable. Ideally I want to call the Page object because I want a list of children from a certain page.

Or do I have to write a plugin with the SDK for this one?

[Thomas Wendel · Accepted solution]

Or if you want the child-pages of a specific page:

## @noparams

#set($childpages = $pageManager.getPage(98327).getChildren())
<ul>
    #foreach($page in $childpages)
        <li>$page.getTitle()</li>
    #end
</ul>

Where 98327 is the page-id.

Cheers,

Thomas

Dion,

Write a user macro with the following template:

## @noparams
<b>Title of this page:</b> $content.getTitle()<br/>

#set($childpages = $content.getChildren())
<b>It's child-pages:</b>
    <ul>
    #foreach($page in $childpages)
        <li>$page.getTitle()</li>
    #end
</ul>

This user macro outputs the name of the actual page and a list of it's direct child-pages.

Have a look at this page as well: Confluence Objects Accessible From Velocity

Cheers,

Thomas

Is there a macro to get the parent title of a page?

I found getParent, but it gives me the PArent name, ID and version

Hi Jako,

Try the following code:

## @noparams
<b>Title of the parent page:</b> $content.getParent().getTitle()

Cheers,

Thomas

Sorry for reviving an old topic, but is there a way to show all the parent pages except Space home-page? Not just the parent page of the current page.

I'm imaging it something like:
$content.getAllParents('hide-space-home-page').getTitle()
ofc that's not working but you see my point.

Thanks Thomas Wendel ·

Where can I find the list of confluence ojects and methids so I can learn more. I have fodun a few pages in confluence and velocity, but being a begginner with confluence macros, I am having a steep learning curve.

You will find a lot of information here in the forum.

The Confluence API JavaDoc is another place to look.
