Send To Wiki

Confluence 2.7.0
The Confluence Remote API is broken in 2.7.0 - see http://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-10235 for details. Please apply the patch as described here, or use another Confluence version (resolved in Confluence 2.7.1)
"New Release - 2.2.2"
See Release History for full details:

Version 2.2.2

  • Embedded OLE objects added as attachments (Word, Excel, PDF and Visio OLE objects).
  • Optional image upload
  • Improved logging and performance
  • Support for Powerpoint - exports to slide to a .png image, and creates a slideshow using the gallery macro
  • Beta: Styled Tables - Optional use of the styles macro for table formatting. Includes merged rows, columns, background colours and more! ( Requires the [Content Formatting Marco] )
  • OLE option - by default, embedded objects within a Word document are converted to images. Using this option, the embedded object is uploaded as an attachment (e.g by default an embedded Visio document is converted to an image. With this option set, the Visio document is uploaded as an attachment, and a link to the attachment placed in the document.
  • Various formatting bug fixes

Main Features

  • Converts fonts, lists, tables, hyperlinks, bookmarks, etc
  • Supports Office 2000 and later, including Office 2007 with ribbon support

... and many more. For a full list of features, please see the Product Datasheet available at http://www.hiason.com.au

Requirements

  • Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0
  • Microsoft Office 2000 or later
  • Confluence 2.0 or later
  • If using confluence hosted, please see this page

Installation

An easy to use setup is provided.

For the first installation, run setup.exe rather than SendToWikiSetup.msi as this installs other pre-requisites - otherwise you can run each of the other msi and setup files in the sub-directories

Usage

Simply click the Send to Wiki button in either Word or Excel and follow the prompts.

You can also add Send To Wiki into your Send To list so that you can right click documents to send them to Confluence!

Screenshots

Office 2007

For those of you luck enough to have Office 2007, the Send To Wiki menu item can be found under the Save As menu item by default:

Configuration

  • When entering your servername in the setup, it should be something like myservername.com. If you cannot connect, you can edit this in the Advanced tab.
  • If you cannot connect, please try myservername.com:80
  • If you are using a secure URL (SSL) i.e. [https://]... then you need to do the following
    • specify the correct SSL port, usually :443 or :8443 e.g. _myservername.com:443
    • add the certificate to your trusted certificate store
      • In IE, click the padlock icon and export the certificate
      • In Tools -> Internet Options -> Content then add the certificate to one of the the trusted certificate stores (menus may be different depending upon version of IE)

    I was trying to evaluate the add on and found following issues, not sure if it has been already fixed in the new version.

    • The embedded documents are not getting imported, only the icon of the embedded object appears in the final output
    • When we try to upload mulitple word documents, I am not able to provide the parent details seperately for each of the document being uploaded. I can specify only one parent for all the documents
    • I see some line numbers being generated in the output for some of the word document files and not for all documents
    • Is it possible to split huge word documents into multiple wiki pages (based on heading 1 sections) ? So that content viewing and granularity of labeling and commenting will be easy.

    I am using office 2002 and Ihave IE installed on my machine when I evaluated the tool.

      • Embedded documents are not supported yet
      • You can only specify the parent once per upload. If you need to set it per page, you need to run one page at a time
      • I'm aware of the line numbers issue. This seems to happen for some users when they have large lists in the document. I'm working on a fix for the next release, in the mean time, change the list converion method to Office on the advanced tab. This method is currently better for large lists.
      • It isn't possible to split the pages. Possibly something I can add in at a later date ...

    This looks great, but is the old VBA macro version still available anywhere on the site? It was simpler, but it did the job just fine for simple Word to Confluence conversions, and the price was right.

    I installed this application, and now whenever I open any Office app -- Word, Excel, Visio -- I get the Send-to-Wiki toolbar. I don't like extra toolbars, and needless to say I can't fix it so that it doesn't come up automatically. Does anyone know how to keep this from happening (without dumping the entire plug-in)?

      This will depend on the version of Office and the version of the tool you are using - please email the details to mike@hiason.com for specific instrctions.

    Does anyone know if there's a plugin that works on the Confluence side rather than on the Office side?  From an administration perspective, it would be easier to have a plug-in in one place (on Confluence) rather than as an add-in on everyone's version of MS-Word/Excel.

    Hello,

    I am having problem with the list numbers, like 2.1.1. None of these list numbers seems to be shown after the document is converted to confluence. Can you please help me?
