Content by Label Macro

The Content by Label macro lists content which has been tagged with specific labels.

On this page:

Usage with the Macro Browser

To insert the content by label macro into a page using the Macro Browser,

  1. Open your desired Confluence page or blog post, then click the 'Edit' button. The page or blog post opens in edit mode.
  2. Click the Macro Browser icon on the toolbar. The macro browser window opens in the middle of the screen in 'macro selection' mode.
  3. Scroll through the list of macros. Alternatively, start typing part of the name of your desired macro into the search box at the top right of the macro browser window. Macros with a matching name will appear in the main pane.
  4. Click on the desired macro to access its parameters and preview parameter changes ('preview mode').
  5. Set the macro parameters to your requirements. If desired, you can preview these changes by clicking 'Refresh'.
  6. Click 'Insert' to put the macro into the page.

Once you've found the content by label macro, click 'insert' to add it to your page.

Usage with the Wiki Markup Editor

To display all pages with the label needs-fixing, use:

{contentbylabel:label=needs-fixing|showLabels=false|showSpace=false|maxResults=99|space=@self}

Below is a working example of the 'Content by Label' macro. In the example, we have restricted the display to 5 results. By default, Confluence lists all the labels for each result displayed. See the optional parameters below for more information.

What you need to type What you will get
{contentbylabel:label=documentation|maxResults=5}
Confluence Internals (Confluence 2.6) Labels: documentation, internal, confluence
Character encodings in Confluence (Confluence 2.6) Labels: documentation, internal, http, database, confluence, utf8, unicode, encoding, character
Character encodings in Confluence (Confluence 2.7) Labels: character, encoding, unicode, utf8, confluence, database, http, internal, documentation
Character encodings in Confluence (Confluence 2.8) Labels: documentation, internal, http, database, confluence, utf8, unicode, encoding, character
2. Installing Crowd and CrowdID (Crowd 1.3) Labels: crowd-home, crowdid, overview, api, crowd, documentation, guide
Showing first 5 of 246 results

Parameters

Parameters are options that you can include in Confluence macros to control the content or format of the macro output. The table below lists relevant parameters for this macro.

Parameter names are different in the macro browser and in wiki markup. Below we show the macro browser parameter names in bold text, and the equivalent wiki markup parameters in (bracketed) text. If we do not show any parameter name for the wiki markup, then you should leave out the parameter name and simply include the parameter value as the first parameter, immediately after the colon (:).

Parameter Default Description
(author) None Filter the results by author. The macro will display only the pages etc which are written or updated by the author(s) you specify here.

You can specify one or more authors, separated by a comma.
Label(s)
(label) or (labels) 		None This parameter is required.

Use this parameter to filter the results by label. The macro will display only the pages etc which are tagged with the label(s) you specify here.

You can specify one or more label values, separated by a comma or a space.
  • To exclude content which matches a given label, put a minus sign (-) immediately in front of that label value. For example: If you specify a label value of -badpage you will get only content which is not labelled with 'badpage'.
  • To indicate that the results must match a given label value, put a plus sign (+) immediately in front of that label value. For example: If you specify a label value of +superpage,+goodpage you will get only content which has at least two labels, being 'superpage' and 'goodpage'.
Maximum Number of Pages
(max) or (maxResults) 		15 Specify the maximum number of results to be displayed. Note that the results are sorted first, and then the maximum parameter is applied.
(operator) OR The operator to apply to the supplied lists of labels. By default, a page with any of the non-prefixed labels (that is, labels without a plus (+) or minus (-) sign immediately preceding it) will be listed. By using operator=AND, only pages with all of the supplied non-prefixed labels will be listed.

Be aware that this parameter only modifies the behaviour of the 'Label(s)' parameter and only affects label values without a plus (+) or minus (-) sign prefix. To avoid confusion or unexpected results, it is not recommended that the operator parameter be used in conjunction with any label values prefixed with '+' or '-' signs.
Show Labels for Each Page
(showLabels) 		true Show or hide labels for results.
Show Space Name for Each Page
(showSpace) 		true Show or hide spaces for results.
Reverse Sort
(reverse) 		false Use this parameter in conjunction with the sort parameter described below. Set reverse=true to change the sort from ascending to descending.

this parameter is ignored if the sort parameter is not specified.
Sort By
(sort) 		modified Specify how the results should be sorted. To change the sort order from ascending to descending, use the reverse parameter described above.

Note: If this parameter is not specified, the sort order defaults to descending order based on the last modification date.

Values:
  • creation — Sort by the date on which the content was added.
  • title — Sort alphabetically by title.
  • modified — Sort by the date on which the content was last updated.
Restrict to these Spaces
(space) or (spaces) 		@all, i.e. all spaces in your Confluence site. This parameter allows you to filter content by space. The macro will display only the pages etc. which belong to the space(s) you specify here.

You can specify one or more space keys, separated by a comma or a space.
  • To exclude content in a specific space, put a minus sign (-) immediately in front of that space key. For example: If you specify a space key of -BADSPACE you will get only content which is not in the BADSPACE.
  • To indicate that the results must come from a specific space, put a plus sign (+) immediately in front of that space key. For example: If you specify a space key of +GOODSPACE you will get only content in GOODSPACE. (Note that this is not particularly useful, because each content item belongs to one space only. If you put a plus sign next to one space key and list other space keys too, the other space keys will be ignored.)

Special values:
  • @self — The current space.
  • @personal — All personal spaces.
  • @global — All global spaces.
  • @favorite — The spaces you have marked as favourite.
  • @favourite — The same as @favorite above.
  • @all — All spaces in your Confluence site.
  • * — The same as @all above.

When specifying a personal space, remember to use the tilde (~) sign in front of the username, such as ~jbloggs or ~jbloggs@example.com.
List Title
(title) 		None Adds a title or heading to the list.
Include these Content Types Only
(type) 		all This parameter allows you to filter content by content type. The macro will display only the content of the type you specify here.

You can specify one or more types, separated by a comma or a space.

To exclude content of a given content type, put a minus sign (-) immediately in front of that content type. For example: If you specify a content type of -blogpost you will get pages and all other content except for blog posts.


Available values:
  • page — Pages.
  • blogpost or news — Blog posts, also known as news items.
Display Excerpts
(excerpts) 		false Displays the first line of excerpts for each page.

Examples

1. Show content from a specific space

{contentbylabel:label=dogs,cats|space=PETS}

2. Show only results in current space

{contentbylabel:label=dogs,cats|space=@self}

3. Show results from all spaces

{contentbylabel:label=dogs,cats|space=@all}

4. Show only content of a specified type

The code below will show only pages (but not news items or other content types) with the labels 'dogs' or 'cats':

{contentbylabel:label=dogs,cats|type=page}

5. Do not show the labels in the results

{contentbylabel:label=dogs,cats|showLabels=false}

6. Do not show the space names in the results

{contentbylabel:label=dogs,cats|showSpace=false}

7. Display excerpts in the results

{contentbylabel:label=dogs,cats|excerpt=true}

8. Specify the maximum number of results to display

{contentbylabel:label=dogs,cats|max=99}

9. Sort by modification date

{contentbylabel:label=dogs,cats|sort=modified}

10. Change the sort order

{contentbylabel:label=dogs,cats|sort=modified|reverse=true}

    I would like the output to be just the page names as links, separated by spaces.  No icon, no "new line", no Space or Labels.  In this way I can, for example, create a table and fill a cell with links for a label-defined collection of pages.  A very dense way to build a reference page to items for sets of topics. Please!?

    Is this doable as a user macro?  Would the current source be a big help?

    Thanks! - Tom Evans

      Here is a great example of how this capability would be used:

        enterprisearchitecture.nih.gov
       

      The front page of this Enterprise Architecture site gives instant access to a large set of standards, organized by category.  A perfect use of  labels and content-by-label.  If these links were listed as one-per-line this Front Page would be three pages long, at least.

    Is there anyway to do some kind of exclusion criterion? say

    contentbylabel: '!needs_review' is an invalid label.

    The practical application would be having a set of documents on varying yet very similar topics, wanting to display all except a particular subset that is flagged for review. Since I'd need to use more than one set of labels, I'm hard pressed to say ONLY dogs and reviewed, as I need cats as well, so setting the AND operator doesn't catch all the content, and OR sets the net too wide.

      You can do it with the Reporting Plugin. The 'labels' parameters on several macros there will let you specify "+" or "-" for "required" and "excluded", respectively. So, for example, you could do this:

      {report-list}
{content-reporter:space=+@global, -EXCLUDED|labels=+dogs, +cats, -needs_review|type=page}
  {text-sort:content:title}
{content-reporter}

{report-body}{report-info:content:title|link=true}{report-body}

{report-list}

      Which would basically give you all pages in all global (non-personal) spaces except the one called 'EXCLUDED' which have the 'dogs' and 'cats' label, but do not have 'needs_review'.

    I see where the type "page" and blog-post" work, but I dont; see a full list fo other "types"

     in the search macro documentation I see a list of types- but they don't seem to be consistent -- I see "userinfo",  but I can't get any of these to work using this contentby label macro:

    userinfo, user-indo, user, users, profile, profiles, user-profile....

     in the search macro I see "blogpost" type but in this macro it is blog-post...  Is there some consistency that will be achieved here at some point? what types does this macro support right now? if not all- why?

      Hi,

      For Content by label macro, it's different with the space macro whereby it lists content with tagged labels. That means, it could be either page or blogs post. Having said that, labels work in pages and blogs post. In this macro, the "blogpost" type is used. For example:

      {contentbylabel:dogs|type=blogpost}

      Hope this helps. Thanks.

      Hi there,

      I am afraid that this is not possible since the supported content types are page and blogpost only. The attachment macro might be the closest to your requirement, however there is no labelling capabilities.

      However, there is an ongoing feature request at CONF-3963 to allow attachments to be labelled, and hence can be further utilised by the attachment macro to filter out the attachments according to labels: CONF-9639. Hope that helps.

      Cheers,

    In Conf 2.7.3, if no content in the space in which you were searching didn't have the label (e.g. labelx) you were looking for, the macro would return the text:

    No content found for label(s) labelx.

    In 2.10.1, the macro returns

    contentbylabel: 'labelx' is not an existing label

    This text is also highlighted in red and looks like a system error to the user.

    What can be done to fix this back to the way it used to be?

    Wiki markup:

    {contentbylabel:labelx|key=@self|showLabels=false|maxResults=99|excerpt=true|showSpace=false}

    I'd like to create a "Related Topics" section on a page that lists the pages that are related to the current page using the page labels as the associative element. If I'm reading the documentation correctly, the contentbylabel macro requires a label or labels as a parameter. It seems odd to have to provide labels as input to the macro, when I've already added labels to the page. Is there any way to have the contentbylabel macro use the current page's labels as the value of the label/labels parameter? I'm using Confluence 2.8.2, but plan on upgrading to the latest release soon.

    Thanks.

        I believe the {related-labels} macro produces a formatted listing of labels related to the labels used on the current page. I'm looking for a formatted listing of pages like the one provided by the {contentbylabel} macro, and the listing should contain the pages related to the labels on the current page. If I were to use the {related-labels} macro, and somehow feed those results to the {contentbylabel} macro, I'd end up with a much larger listing of related pages, sort of an extended family of pages.

      Hi Christian,

      If you are using 2.10, then by default the macro will return matches from the current space only. You can specify which spaces to include results from by using the 'space' parameter, or just add 'space=@all' to return results from the entire site.

      If that is not the problem, I would suggest raising a support request at https://support.atlassian.com/secure/Dashboard.jspa.

    Hi,

    I'm using this macro as follows in Confluence Team Hosted 2.10.1:

    No content found for label(s) -done,+MB,+PCI,policy,process,procedure.

    It seems to work fine in that it shows pages which do not have label done plus have MB and PCI labels, and policy, process or procedure labels.

    However it also lists pages that have a text value of policy, process or procedure but no labels of the same values (and which do not have label done plus have MB and PCI labels). So it seems to be searching the whole page, not just the labels.

    Am I doing something obviously wrong here?

        Thanks Henry. I actually have a question about the documentation on this macro, which says:

        "To indicate that the results must match at least one of the specified label values, simply list the labels separated by commas. For example: If you specify a label value of -badpage,goodpage,superpage you will get content which has a label of either 'goodpage' or 'superpage' (or both) but does not have the label 'badpage'."

        I am possibly misunderstanding the meaning here, so need some clarification.

        If I have a content by label macro that specifies 'label=-ZZ,+AA,+BB,CC,DD'

        my list should show pages that don't have label ZZ, that have labels AA and BB, and also have label CC or DD (or both)?

        And further, if I have some pages with labels AA and BB, which do not have labels ZZ, CC or DD, should these show up in a content by label macro list that uses the above label specfications?

        Thanks

          Hello Melissa,

          I'm just confirming that your presumption is correct.

          Hence, if you had AA,+BB,+CC,DD,EE,-FF, then the parameter to which this applies:

          • must match BB AND CC
          • must match ONE OR MORE OF: AA, DD or EE
          • must NOT match FF

          Bear in mind that this principle applies to several of the parameters above: label, author, etc.

          Hope this clarifies the situation.

              Hello Melissa,

              While the information I wrote above is still true, I received some additional information about the operator parameter, which if used in conjunction with the label parameter, affects non-prefixed label values (i.e. labels without a '+' or '-' immediately preceding them). I don't know if this affects your situation, but it's worth mentioning because the behaviour is somewhat complex.

              Hence, if you had:

              labels=label1,label2,label3|operator=OR (this is the default behaviour of the operator parameter, which is the same as if it were not used in the macro at all)

              then your content must have one or more of the 'label1', 'label2' or 'label3' labels.

              If you had:

              labels=label1,label2,label3|operator=AND

              then your content must have all three 'label1', 'label2' and 'label3' labels.

              If you intend to use the label parameter with '+' or '-' signs prefixing any of its label values, then avoid using the operator parameter in the same macro to minimise confusion.

              The operator parameter is available to provide support for Confluence content which was written using older versions of the Content by Label macro, when at the time, the operator parameter was the only mechanism available to implement logical operations on a set of label values.

              The documentation above has been updated with this new information, so I hope this information helps.

              Kind regards,

                Thanks Giles, that's good to know.

                Am a little confused though, as my support incident about this macro was closed recently, with the finding by Atlassian support being that the default OR operator functions to show '0 or more' labels, not '1 or more'. The documentation on this page was updated to reflect '0 or more', but I noticed it's now changed back to 1 or more. And in my Confluence Team Hosted instance it's definitely working as 0 or more (which I must say is not a particularly useful function to have - 1 or more makes much more sense!!).

                I've pretty much given up on this issue, but thought I'd mention it again as a) I'm sure you guys want the doco to be accurate, and b) '0 or more' functionality is basically useless, and might warrant further investigation...?

                Thanks

      Hi agehl,

      I am afraid that this is not possible since the above {contentbylabel} macro and {related-labels} macro do not support any parameter to do this.
      If you are keen to have this feature in Confluence, feel free to raise an improvement request at http://jira.atlassian.com.

      I am not sure whether this will be helpful, however, there are some other macros such as popular-labels and Tagcloud Macro that you might want to try.

      Cheers,

      Hi,

      If you are referring to the checklist plugin. It seems that the parameter which determine the label used, does not support multiple labels. I would suggest you to direct your question to the author as I believe that they know more on the plugin than us.

      You can try to edit i18n.properties for the following key macros.labelledcontent.no.content.found.for. As the file is inside confluence-advanced-macros-x.x.x.jar, you need to unjar and rejar it back again. You can refer to the following doc:

      We found a workaround solution for this, as we don't want to see the "no content found for label...", too.

      We have created a user macro, which simply get's this error message before rendering the html-code of the page and then replaces this error message string by a string defined inside the macro (possibly could be optimized by using a parameter for the new string).

      Using the macro you can output whatever you want, e.g. also an empty string.

      Here's our macro code, hope it helps.

      <script type="text/javascript">
AJS.toInit(function ($)
{
    $("table.tableview tbody tr td").each(function ()
    {
        if (this != null)
        {
            var noContentText = $(this).text();
            if (noContentText.indexOf('No content found for label(s)') == 0)
                $(this).text('New error message or just leave empty here');
        }
    })
});
</script>

    Hi,

    Can I fix some labels on a page in confluence such that only space admin or some restricted group can only delete it.

    I mean i want to fix just few labels for a page at the same time allowing user to play with other label i.e. they can add/remove more labels but can't change the fixed labels.

    thanx

    This post was also posted on the related content user macro page

    I have to categories of content in my space: topic and case. The pages are labeled "topic" and "case" respectively + labels describing the content, and are sorted in to separate page hierarchies. I want to list related topics in a page:

    h4. Related topics
{related-content:excerpt=false|space=@self|showSpace=false|showLabels=false|max=5|type=page|sort=title|label=+topic}

    The problem is that the above code renders a list with all pages having the "topic" label. The "topic" is not just a requirement, as I thought it was. Is it possible to render a list of pages within one page hierachy with related labels instead, and not just within the whole space?

      And yes you are right about the {related-content} macro that you can only restrict the macro to search a set of spaces or all spaces.

However, I would like to display the page author, the creation date and the modification date along with the page title. Is this possible?

    Hi,

    I have created several "primary" pages and then a bunch of "secondary" pages.  I have taken the secondary pages and moved them to be children of the related primary pages.  I'm trying to use "space=@self" in the primary pages to display links to the children.

    This is what I'm using:

    'contentbylabel:label=pm-request|type=page|showLabels=false|showSpace=false|space=@self|sort=title'

    The problem is that for some reason that I don't understand, all of my secondary pages show up as links instead of the one single document that I've moved to be a child of the primary page.  I've turned the showspace to true and there isn't a space name... odd. 

    Can anyone please help me?

    Update: okay, I think I've figured out that all of the pages have the same "space" and that's why they're doing this... that doesn't help me solve the problem yet though.

    I'm trying to use this macro to return page with a combination of labels.   We have been labelling our pages with a "type" (standard, procedure, etc) and a domain (network, server, database)  - I can't seem to get the macro to return all pages for example that have both a "network" and "standard" label.   I want the results to be similar to the results I see when I click on the network label and then click on the "standard" related label and the list shows all pages with both labels applied.

    I hope I made it clear.  What I get right now  from this:

    contentbylabel:labels=network,standards\|title=Network Standards\|max=5\|excerpt=true\|sort=modified

    Is a listing of all pages with either "network" OR "standards" label.

    Thanks,

    I would like to categorize Wiki content based on labels that follow a certain pattern, such as "foo.bar.1", "foo.bar.2", "bar.baz.1", etc.) and then create reports listing subsets of pages that match similar patters, such as "foo.*", or "*.bar.*" etc. There could be a fairly large number of such labels (dozens).

    I don't suppose it's possible to use some sort of a globbing pattern or regular expression as the name of the label in {contentbylabel:label=RE}, is there? If not, is there already a feature request for this ability or should I create one?

    Is there a way to get the macro to produce a number representing the number of records matching the query instead of the list of results? I'd like to be able to use the results in tables and charts. Like so:

    || Number of Pages To Fix || Number of Pages Fixed ||
| {contentbylabel:label=needs-fixing|showCount=true|space=@self} | {contentbylabel:label=fixed|showCount=true|space=@self} |

    and have it rendered like so:

    Number of Pages To Fix Number of Pages Fixed
    123 456
