get space description with a user macro

[shoshana_uzan]

Hi,

I want to display the description of the space on the confluence page and I wrote the following code in user macro

#** ---------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------
PROCESS INPUT
*#
#set($permArray = [])
#if (!$paramSpaceKey)
#set($paramSpaceKey = $space.key)
#end
#set($forspace = $spaceManager.getSpace($paramSpaceKey))
#set($spacename = $forspace.getName())
#set($spacedesc = $forspace.getDescription())

$spacename

$spacedesc

------------------------

But I don't get the description of the space

Note:
I mean the description that appears in :

space Tools->overview->space details ->Description

advice on how to this ?

Thanks

Found it in the default velocity templates:

$forspace.getDescription().getBodyContent().getBody()

Or with the velocity property shorthands:

$forspace.description.bodyContent.body

Hi @shoshana_uzan ,

based on API https://docs.atlassian.com/ConfluenceServer/javadoc/7.1.0/com/atlassian/confluence/spaces/Space.html getDescription return a SpaceDescription object (https://docs.atlassian.com/ConfluenceServer/javadoc/7.1.0/com/atlassian/confluence/spaces/SpaceDescription.html). Try to use : 

#set($spacedesc = $forspace.getDescription().getDisplayTitle())

Hi,

But when I try it I get the name of the space and not the description
You have an idea?

hey @shoshana_uzan , I don't find any method for that in the API

Thanks

It seems logical that $forspace.getDescription()) will return the value of the description, but it returns something else that I have no idea what it is...
