Description/Features

As this plugin is currently not compatible with Confluence version 2.8 you may experience errors such as inability to edit/add pages.

Cause:
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
 at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) 
caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.randombits.confluence.metadata.LegacyScaffoldStorage
 at org.randombits.confluence.metadata.LegacyMetadataStorage.(LegacyMetadataStorage.java:70)

There is already a reported bug in the Scaffolding Project.

Version 1.4.18 and earlier require the appropriate Utilities Plugin to be installed into WEB-INF/lib.

This plug-in contains macros for creating 'permanent templates' and editable forms.

It provides many macros which allow data to be entered into a form. It does so by allowing the editing of specified sections on a page when viewing the page, if the current user has 'edit' permissions to the page being viewed.

There is a public library of scaffolds people have used in real life availabile here.

Release Notes

Warning
This plugin is still beta quality. The main outstanding issue is compatibility with Internet Explorer, but some others may exist.

However, this release is relatively stable, and the underlying infrastructure is unlikely to change, meaning it is mostly extra features and some cosmetic issues which are yet to be resolved.

Thanks to Rayaz Shaikh and Honeywell for providing some IE-related fixes in this release.

New features since 1.4.x include:

  • Version history for field data - you can now go back in history for all modifications to field data.
  • Indexing - Most data is now indexed and will show up with a regular search.
  • Lots of bug fixes.
  • Better data editing integration - To edit, just click the regular 'Edit' tab and you can access your data fields.
  • Dynamic table and repeating sections - You can add, remove and reorder table sections without reloading the page.
  • Preview your page - Check out your changes before you save them.
