Count of Pages in a Space

[Christopher Taverna]

I would like to get a count of the number of pages in a space and place it on a page. I'm guessing writing a macro will accomplish this but I am not sure how to write it. I've looked over all of the documentation, but it hasn't really helped. 

On the page itself it would look like: "There are {PageCountMacro} pages in this Space." and rendered it might look like: "There are 8 pages in this Space." if there were 8 pages in that particular space...

A silly but functional workaround to find how many pages are in a Confluence space:

1. Click "Space Settings"

2. Click "Export space"

3. Click "PDF"

4. Click "Next"

5. Click "Custom Export"

6. Click and hold down the mouse button before the title of the first page at the top of the list

7. While holding down mouse button, hit "End" key

8. While holding down mouse button, drag cursor to the end of the last page title in the list

9. Ctrl/Cmd+C to copy the text

10. Open Microsoft Word

11. Paste text into Microsoft Word

12. Remove any incidental line breaks at the top or bottom of the list

13. Use the "Word Count" function, this will count the number of lines, since every page is on its own line, this will give you a total page count for your Confluence space

Hi Christopher,

I found a similar question in the Community which had lots of answers: How many pages in a space? Some user macros were recommended, including Count pages in space. So you may not have to write your own macro. :)

Thanks,

Ann

Thank you Ann! I've tried $spaceManager.findPageTotal($space) which does return a number. However, it appears to be returning a number that is double the number of pages. Any suggestions?

Update - I tried on a few other spaces, and it is not always double the number, but it is always more... I don't have any pages in the trash, so that shouldn't be an issue.... Thank you!

Hello,

I have just found that if you create an 'index' using the '/index' option, it will give you the number of pages start start with each letter of the alphabet. You can then just knock the total up in calculator

Hope it helps.

Always amazed by the ability of Confluence to make simple operations difficult to do)))
