    Does anyone know if there are additional paraments for the mockup tag? I found this link which describes a parameter for adjusting the alignment of the rendered mockup. What I was wondering is if there is a way to scale the rendering. I've got a mockup that is much bigger than your typical browser window, so it would be nice if I could show the mockup on the page at say 50~75% of it's original size. Anyone know of anything?

      Hi Brian, Peldi here from Balsamiq. Sorry I just noticed this today. There's no such option at the moment, but it's a good idea! I'll add it to the TODO list, and report back here when it's done.

      Hi there, I just realized I never did report back on the progress. You can now specify the width of the exported image with a macro parameter, see here for more details: http://www.balsamiq.com/products/mockups/help#confluence (scroll down a bit)

    when i deploy the confluence with vitural content path, mockup does't support image display.

    this is my tomcat server.xml:

    <Context path="/wiki" docBase="../confluence" debug="0" reloadable="false">

    but when i set to this root context, the image in mockup is display. i don't known what's wrong.

    <Context path="" docBase="../confluence" debug="0" reloadable="false">

      Hi Gabriel, I have tested it with 3.0 and it works fine. The plugin doesn't take advantage of the new macro browser APIs yet, but other than that it works as advertised. :)

      I will update the testing table above to reflect this now.

    I'm trying to share mockups between pages by calling the mockup name on another page. However, I get this error message:

    "Mockup image file mockup_playbackmockup.png (version 1) not found. Did someone delete it?"

    Can I not call this mockup from one page to another?

    Thanks!

      Hi Brian, mockups are saved as attachments to a specific page, so sharing them between pages is not possible at the moment. Interesting idea thought, I'd like to hear more about your use-case: email me at peldi@balsamiq.com if you have the time.

        Ah. No problems then. I came up with a work-around for that issue: Wrap the mockup (on the source page) with the excerpt macro and use the exerpt-include macro on the target page.

        Thanks for the info!

      Hello Michael, thanks for your interest in our plugin.

      Because the plugin's editor is a Flash application, the majority of the code and execution is done on the client-side, in the user's browser.

      Our server-side code is fairly straightforward, all we do is serve up the editor page, look up the data from a page's attachment and create new attachments (an XML file and a PNG image) when a user hits "save". So far no-one has had any issues with performance, and frankly I'd be surprised.

      Let me know if you have any more questions! peldi@balsamiq.com

        Hi Peldi,

        thanks for your quick answer.

         - when i click on those 2 items i have a dark gray screen in IE

          Hello Eric, please go to the plugins page and disable one of the links (one is for confluence 2.8 and above, the other is for <2.8).

          As for the gray screen, that means something went wrong during installation perhaps. Could you please email me so that we can debug it together? peldi@balsamiq.com

            Hi Peldi,

            - it's ok for the two links

            - it's also ok for the gray screen problem, i have try in firefox and the problem is because i haven't Flash, IE6 don't told me this.

            Thanks a lot, great plugin

            We will try it some days before we buy

        Hi Peldi,
        I push forward my tests on plugin versions and I discovered that the problem is that Mockups is not compatible with the Scaffolding plugin version 3.2.0.
        I installed Scaffolding version 3.1.0 (the preconized version for Confluence 2.9) and it solved the problem.
        Thanks for your help
