Retrieving list of users in group macro

Kyle Crowley

Hi there,

I'm new to Confluence but I'm starting to get a hang of it.

Right now I have a page on a space that is for our team. I have a section where I am putting "profile picture" macros to show each member of the group.

I was wonder how I could make a macro that would loop through the members of a group and call that macro, given a group name to look at.

So here is the psuedocode:

param1 = <PASSED IN PARAM>

foreach member in param1

{

profile_picture(member)

}

So the macro would take in the group name, loop thorugh the members, and call the "profile picture" macro for each member.

I know there is a "user list" macro, but it does not have exactly what I am looking for.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Try this user macro:

## Users Pictures for Group - Confluence User Macro
##
##   Produces a pile of user profile pictures for members of a specific group
##
## WARNING:
##
##   Use very sparingly as this *will* slow down large Confluence instances.
##   Yes, it will try to print out 100,000 users if you have that many in the group
##
##   I generally remove this user macro after using once and add only when needed.
##   Or enable it for admins only.
##
## @param Group:title=Group Name|type=string|required=true|desc=The group name (yes, really)

  
#set($containerManagerClass = $action.class.forName('com.atlassian.spring.container.ContainerManager'))
#set($getInstanceMethod = $containerManagerClass.getDeclaredMethod('getInstance',null))
#set($containerManager = $getInstanceMethod.invoke(null, null))
#set($containerContext = $containerManager.containerContext)
  
#set($userAccessor = $containerManager.containerContext.getComponent('userAccessor'))
#set($groupManager = $containerManager.containerContext.getComponent("groupManager"))
#set($group = $groupManager.getGroup($paramGroup))
#set($users = $userAccessor.getMemberNamesAsList($group) ) 

#foreach( $username in $users )

  #set($confluenceUser = $userAccessor.getUserByName($username))
  <ac:structured-macro ac:name="profile-picture">
    <ac:parameter ac:name="User">
    <ri:user ri:userkey="$confluenceUser.key" >
  </ac:parameter&gt;&lt;/ac:structured-macro>

#end

It should produce a pile of user profile pictures for members of a specific group.

Works exactly how I wanted it to. Thanks!

P.S. I understand the concern for the large sized groups. For a group like mine, it will not be as bad since we are a group of > 10 people. If you passed in something like "confluence-users" and you had a lot of people using Confluence, it might get hairy then.

In any event, thanks so much.

@David at David Simpson AppsHas something changed in the years between that this macro is not longer working. I would really appreciate if you can guide, as this macro is going to add so much value to our confluence. Thanks for all your efforts.
