Create Page Macro

Is there any way to use an icon as the macro button?

One of the things I do is make daily pages of certain system information. It is all templated, but I'd like to set the title to some varient of todays date, like 2007-02-16. Would it be possible to add a few date paramaters (YYYY, MM, DD) to the title option?

This macro does not seem to work with Version: 2.5.4 Build:#809. It will prompt you for a page title, but if you enter any spaces (to separate words) and click OK it simply refreshes the page and fails to take you to the newly created page.

Using create-page to attempt to create a page with the same name as another space page fails silently. This is the problem with the comment above about spaces in the page name, and has nothing to do with spaces in the page title. It might be nice to have a non-silent failure.

I have a create-page macro that uses a static title. Once the page is created, any subsequent clicks on the create-page link keep you on the same page.  Anyway for it to take you to the created page?  We won't have to update the page to replace the create-page with a static link then.

 Alternatively, is there a way to  add logic around that link?

 Thanks.

I am using the create-page macro in combination with confluence templates which are using

variables (eg. @VAR1). Is it possible to predefine the values of these variables within the

create-page-macro?

eg.:
create-page:template=customer|addspace=false|target=edit|VAR1=11111|VAR2=customer a|prompt=Please enter the customername}Click Here to add a new customer
create-page}
If not, do you know some other way to accomplish this?

Where can I  find the source code for this plugin?

We are running confluence 2.6.0 and have templates with labels defined there (new feature in Conf 2.6.0)

We have create page macro to create pages from these templates. 

The labels defined in the template are not carried froward into the created page using the above line.

 Normal, Add page from template carries forward the labels defined in the template.

For now, we are using the add-label macro to get around this problem.

 When will you be solving this issue?

Using the create-page macro & Scaffolding, how can I get directly to the Scaffold editing view? (Not the Wiki markup, but rather the editable template)

Boilerplate takes me to view the template and I have to then click the Edit tab.

Thanks

Tried the create page macro with a template in my own personal space. The form data is not held (ie there is no "insert variable" button) so the page gets created with nothing in it.  

Hopefully an easy question.. is there a way to have the macro JUST create the page, and NOT take the user to either edit or view, and instead just stay on the page where the macro was invoked? I'm working with the Check-list macros, and am looking for an easy way to create empty pages by just entering a title, but not providing any other details.

Is it already possible now to use an image as link?

 Thanks...

Is it possible to 'save' the edited form of a temple without going into the wiki markup page and clicking on 'save'? This is more intuitive for the user, who might get confused at seeing the mark-up and not properly save the form after creating a page. For example, can the user simply 'insert varibales' and then the form is automatically saved in the space?

Thanks

It's a great plugin. We use it quite often. But there is a small bug in createpage.js, the javascript function "escape()" is not suitable for encoding URL address, you should use a javascript function "encodeURI()". It's very very very important to be compatible with all charsets and browsers.
So instead of:
document.location=url+escape(name)+postfix;
use:
document.location=url+encodeURI(name)+postfix;

Enjoy yorself

I am trying to use {create-page} in the context of a scaffold template.

I do get the link with the plus sign in the page created from the template: that looks OK

But when I click the + sign, the page I am editing disappears to leave way to the newly created page

The result is that my first page is not saved. Even if I do save it before clicking +, I have to navigate back to it, and it does not have a link to the newly created page.

I am doing this right?

We're using the create-page template to compile content for an enterprise encyclopedia.  I'm trying to create pages with no parent (orphaned pages).  I've tried using the parent= parameter to do this, but I'm unable to create a page without a parent. 

Can anyone offer some advice?  Is this possible with this macro?

This plugin has been in Beta state for a while, do we know when it will move to Stable and what the process or criteria are for the change of state?

Thanks

Hi,

I haven't used confluence much and i'm still gaining understanding the macros and plugins in confluence.

I would like to be able to upload a file, then display it on a new created page in confluence.

E.g. the following steps

1. Open my upload page in confluence which uses my own upload servlet to store a file on another server.[This part is critical since i do processing on the file]

2. Pass the location of this file as a parameter to a plugin on a new page that is automatically created using a macro such as this.

Can I use this macro to do it? If not what do you suggest I do?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Is there a way to enforce template usage with this plugin? I would like the users to only use create page macro for creating new pages and not the standard add page button. It would be great if I could specify in the macro body who can create pages and not in the Space Admin Panel - then the standard Confluence Add Page Button wouldn't be visible to anyone and users with permissions to add new pages would have to go click on the add page macro link.

Hi,

we create a page with the create page plugin and use the javascript prompt to enter its name.

But if we type an existing name the old page will be overwritten without warning.

Is there a solution to display a warning?

When I use the %ident% parameter as postfix every new page is extended with an unattractive "1".

I only need such a number when there is already a page with this name..

Thanks!

HELP - the create-page macro was working fine for us.  I'm not sure exactly what has changed - should be nothing except for an apache config change.  Now when we use create page, the page names get %20's in them instead of spaces.  Additionally the @self doesn't seem to be working, it tries to create the page at the root. 

We use this macro everywhere, any help you could give would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Any chance this macro will work in Confluence 3.0??

Is there a Create News macro similar to the Creat Page?

Hi, i would like create a new page from excel template but the new page will be a static page and not depend from excel file. After create the page i can remove the excel. It's possible?

Thanks

The download JAR URL appears to be broken for this plugin. Any info on when it is expected to be back online?
Thank you.

{boilerplate} is deprecated! Are there plans to switch to {live-template} or to have a new parameter which creates a {live-template} macro instead of {boilerplate}?
