Following the blueprint tutorial (https://developer.atlassian.com/display/CONFDEV/Write+a+simple+Confluence+Space+Blueprint) you have to change the atlassian-plugin.xml:

...
<space-blueprint key="first-space-blueprint" i18n-name-key="confluence.first.space.blueprint.name">
        <content-template ref="hierarchy-blueprint-content-template"> <!-- Home -->
            <content-template ref="hierarchy-child-a-content-template"> <!-- Main Page -->
                <content-template ref="hierarchy-child-child-a-content-template"/> <!-- 1st child -->
                <content-template ref="hierarchy-child-child-b-content-template"/> <!-- 2nd child -->
                <content-template ref="hierarchy-child-child-c-content-template"/> <!-- 3rd child -->
            </content-template> <!-- End of Main Page -->
        </content-template> <!-- End of Home -->

All pages are just content-template unless you want to be able to use them later too.

Hi Rui,

           If you also have a Jira instance, you could use one of the 2 following product to create a Page Tree Template in Confluence:

• Gaia for Jira (if you want to create a Space with the Page Tree)
• Gaia Activity + Page Template (if you want to create the page tree in an existing space)

Using those tools, you could export a Space or a Page Tree Template. You could add macro and parameter that will be use during the instanciation.

Hi,

For those who do not want to get into the Java programming. Try our Page Tree Creator Add-on.

Our Add-on Page Tree Creator works a bit different than the Confluence blueprints / templates. The PTC-templates are based on normal confluence pages and therefore creating a PTC-template is as simple as creating a Confluence page. Of course you could start creating your PTC-blueprint based on an existing Confluence page.

Try our Live Examples (no registration needed).

Hi mitesh,

do u have managed do make this work by now ?
I'm trying to achieve pretty much the same ^^
I need a space Blueprint with mutliple pages inside and i can't get things to work.

this is my space blueprint tag:

 <space-blueprint key="example-space-blueprint" i18n-name-key="confluence.blueprints.space.example.name">
        <content-template ref="example-space-homepage-template">
            <content-template ref="example-space-childpage-template"/>
        </content-template>
        <dialog-wizard key="example-space-blueprint-wizard">
            <dialog-page id="exampleSpaceId"
                         template-key="Confluence.SpaceBlueprints.Example.dialogForm"
                         title-key="confluence.blueprints.space.example.dialog.create.title"
                         description-header-key="confluence.blueprints.space.example.dialog.create.heading"
                         description-content-key="confluence.blueprints.space.example.dialog.create.description"
                         last="true"/>
        </dialog-wizard>
    </space-blueprint>

and then i have the followig content template tags:

 <content-template key="example-space-homepage-template" i18n-name-key="confluence.blueprints.space.example.homepage.name">
        <description key="confluence.blueprints.space.example.homepage.desc"/>
        <resource name="template" type="download" location="/xml/example-space-home.xml"/>
    </content-template>


    <content-template key="example-space-childpage-template" il8n-name-key="confluence.blueprints.space.example.childpage.name">
        <description key="confluence.blueprints.space.example.childpage.desc"/>
        <resource name="template" type="download" location="/xml/example-child-page.xml"/>
    </content-template>

When i create the a space with my Blueprint i the space home page is generated but no other child pages.

Any idea what i'm doing wrong there?
best regards Irakli

Hello Irakli,

Just wanted to follow up with you regarding the above concern. I am stucked with the same problem and I am trying to achieve same thing. Did you find a way out for it?

Thanks,

Hi Rui,

For creating two child pages, I guess you can try creating the pages using Java API in the blueprints contextprovider's updateBlueprintContext method, as that one does get called when the blueprint renders.

[Rui Rodrigues]

How I can create a page from JAVA API?

[Yagnesh Bhat]

Well, you can create an object of type Page in the method mentioned in my answer, using the API reference for Confluence depending on version of confluence you are using. Ref: https://docs.atlassian.com/atlassian-confluence/latest/

[Yagnesh Bhat]

I guess you can also try Eduardo's approach too ....
