 | This plugin now accessible through the Confluence Repository Client. |
This macro creates and maintains a table that is modified dynamically in the view mode, similarly to the Dynamic Task List. Additionally it allows reordering of the rows.
Usage
{dynamictable:TableName[|title=Table Title]}
|header1|header2|...|
{dynamictable}
Notice:
- Table's name must be unique in the scope of a page.
- "title" parameter is optional. If it's not specified table's name will be used as a title.

. Thanks for providing this. A suggestion: can you leave out the "Table:" or make it an optional parameter. If I want table in the name, I can just put it in the table name.

Great work - looks cool, works great.
By the way - the tablename appears to show up as unescaped javascript code - which throws errors if you have bad characters in the tablename (I found it by putting in an extra ] ) - but also an XSS attack vector if one were so inclined.

I attached them to the Jira issue here: http://developer.atlassian.com/jira/browse/DTBL-3
I've tested it on 2.3.3 and it's working. If your mileage varies please let me know. I'm afraid the original Author has up and forgotten about his creation here so if anyone has commit privileges to the subversion repo of this plugin, you can apply the patch in the above Jira link.

I upgraded confluence from v2.2.9 to v2.4.3.I had a page in v2.2.9 which had dynamic table macro 1.1 (usage was :
s.no|Task|Status|Start Date|End Date
).Now when i upgraded to 2.4.3 and saw the page it gives following error,
Error formatting macro: dynamictable: com.thoughtworks.xstream.converters.ConversionException : default : default --
--debugging information : required-type : java.util.Collections$SynchronizedCollection cause-message : default : default class : com.revere.confluence.dynamictable.model.Table message : default : default line number : 5 path : /com.revere.confluence.dynamictable.model.Table/rows/java.util.Collections-SynchronizedCollection/default cause-exception : com.thoughtworks.xstream.alias.CannotResolveClassException -------------------------
I tried downgrading dynamic table macro from 1.2 back to 1.1 as also vice versa.No success.
After this,I created a new page and pasted the same usage code in this. It WORKED !! But the other migrated page is still not working.atlassian support directed me here. click here for the image attachment of the support request
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,

The whole benefit of dynamic lists is that you don't have to EDIT page to update anything, you work right there on page.
This results in good usability which makes for an active 'task list' or list of whatever type you want to call it.
Without editing on the fly, the lists go stale and people don't want to work with them, especially if you have somethign like Responsible or Date columns, which are always changing.

Actually it does work. I had the same problem until I looked at the code. The example piece given at the top has a syntax error.
In the title parameter, there should be no square brackets. Should be this:
{dynamictable:TableName|title=Table Title} |header1|header2|...| {dynamictable}Best of luck.
