Widget Macro

The Widget macro, or Widget Connector, allows you to embed multi-media content from other web sites into your Confluence page.

It supports content such as:

On this page:

Usage with the Macro Browser

To insert the Widget 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 Widget macro and have added the required parameter values, click 'insert' to add it to your page.

Usage with the Wiki Markup Editor

Just type the word 'widget' in curly brackets, and give it the URL (web address) of the thing you want to display.

{widget:url=http://example.com/my-location}

If the web-widget alias is enabled on your Confluence site, you can use web-widget instead of widget. See below.

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 Required Default Description
Web Sites Widget URL
(url) 		yes   This is the URL provided by the external web site for embedding content from that web site onto another web page.
Pixel Height (Value Only)
(height) 		no   Specify the height of the display, in pixels (default) or as a percentage of the window's height. For example, to specify a height of 200 pixels: 
{widget:url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/atlassian/|height=200}

This code also specifies a height of 200 pixels:

{widget:url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/atlassian/|height=200px}

This code specifies a height of 10 percent of the window's height:

{widget:url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/atlassian/|height=10%}
Pixel Width (Value Only)
(width) 		no   Specify the width of the display, in pixels (default) or as a percentage of the window's width. For example, to specify a width and height of 200 pixels: 
{widget:url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/atlassian/|width=200|height=200}

This code also specifies a width and height of 200 pixels:

{widget:url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/atlassian/|width=200px|height=200px}

This code specifies a width of 10 percent of the window's width:

The Widget Macro supports shared Dabble DB view and form pages. Hence, it is possible to insert a Dabble DB data entry form into a Confluence page. Any data submitted via this form can be displayed on the same or another page via a Dabble DB view.

About the Web-Widget and Widget Macros

Confluence supports web-widget as an alias for widget. Your System Administrator can enable or disable one or both these macro names. The alias is useful for Confluence sites which use Adaptavist's Community Bubbles plugin, to avoid conflict with the 'widget' macro supplied by that plugin.

If the web-widget alias is enabled on your Confluence site, you can use web-widget instead of widget in all the examples above.

Troubleshooting

If the URL given in the Widget macro does not work, the Widget macro displays an icon and the base URL. The icon will be linked to the full URL given in the macro code.

For example, the following code:

{widget:url=http://example.com/invalid}

will result in an image like the one below:

    How do you pass in/access google gadget user preferences?

    Most of the interesting google gadgets require user configuration.
    For instance adding a bunch of world clocks for different timezones [http://www.google.com/ig/directory?url=www.ljmsite.com%2Fgoogle%2Fgadgets%2Fworldclocks.xml]

    wow - this is amazing!!  I realize anything other than google-based presentations will not work.  Is support for the other google apps (i.e. google docs / spreadsheet / etc) being considered?  This would make confluence the essential platform as a communcations hub (well, even more than it is)!

      Hi Andy,

      The problem is getting the data from Google. So far they only provide widgets that allow for embedding presentations. As soon as other documents are supported by Google you can be sure that we will support them as well.

    for some reason when i add any of the widgetbox macros in, they all show up with the gear box (the URL is copied straight from their site's button). Wondering if firewall could be blocking this? we are able to display the sample youtube and flickr ones on this page but not the others. could it be flash version issue?

    Any ideas?

          Hello Andre,

          Apologies for the late reply, but if you upgrade your Confluence installation's Widget Connector plugin (currently at version 1.3), this should resolve the issue.

          I've just tried this myself with the calendar URL you provided above and it works!

          Kind regards,

    Hi . Newbie to Confluence.

    You want to embed your own video file maybe wmv or .mov file from your servers. How does that occur as a macro ? May I ask what the syntax would look like. Where would the movie file reside in the repository? Just some questions!

      Hi Sam,

      This macro does not support any embedded contents other than those mentioned here. However, you can use the HTML Macro to embed objects in your page. If the movie file resides in Confluence, you will need to identify:

      • The full, valid URL to the video attachment
      • If the video attachment is not anonymously accessible in Confluence, make sure that people who views the video has the permission to view the attachment

      Hope that helps!

      Cheers,
      Azwandi

    At any rate, I'm trying to add a countdown widget to my enterprise wiki. I used widgetbox and upgraded the plugin. The widget displays, and I can edit ti, but then the clock just resets to 0. Thoughts?

      Hi Eddie,

      I have created a report here. Feel free to chip on and watch it for future updates. In the meantime, you might want to use the HTML Macro to embed affected widgets.

    WUFOO forms: use http link not the https link from Wufoo.
    Just by trial and error found out that you need to use the http link in the widget and not the htpps link suggested by wufoo. Just FYI.

    Hey - I just upgraded my 2.10.2 to 2.10.3 (Linux standalone) and spotted this macro in the release notes (I really should read those more often).

    Is anyone else having trouble enabling this macro? In the plugin repository, it's listed as installed and when I click on "Widget Connector" for the details, both macros are red.

    I click on the widget tick box to enable it, I get a pop-up saying "java.lang.IllegalStateException: Bundle is uninstalled"

    Anyone have any ideas I can try - thanks

    Oh, java version is "Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_11-b03)"

      Reverted back to 2.10.2 and the Widget macros work.

      Tried again with a fresh download of 2.10.3 and its broken

      Finally reverted again to 2.10.2 and updated the widget from 1.2.2 to 1.2.3 and it's all good.

      Guess I'll wait for 2.10.4 . . .

            Hi,

            Please give a try to re-enable it via plugin manager. The error that you experience with, usually happens when Confluence does start up after shutting down. Please give a try on it, if you still experience the problem. Please direct your issue to the support system for further investigation:

      Hi Mark,

      As far as I am concerned, this feature is not yet available in this macro. This might be achievable using another macro, which requires a different plugin. Anyway, feel free to raise a request if you are keen on this feature.

    Is anyone using the Google Gadget for Weather?  I've followed the instructions, but I'm not getting the weather on my Confluence page.  I added the Google Gadget for the Word of the Day just fine.

    I think it may have something to do with the setting the zip code for the weather, but I don't see how to do that anywhere.  Here is what I entered in my page. And what I see when the page is saved. 

    {widget:url=http://www.google.com/ig/directory?synd=open&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fig%2Fmodules%2Fbuiltin_weather.xml|width=300|height=150}


    Any help would be appreciated.

      Hi Corey,

      I have found out from here that if the the gadget contains "builtin" in the URL, it will be specific to iGoogle only.
      In other words, it would not work in other containers.
      I guess this is the case with the Google Gadget for Weather.

      Hope this helps.

    Does anyone know how to resolve the HTTPS pop up message you receive when the page with the widgets loads?

    Our Confluence site is secure (https://) and I have a page with a widgetbox panel.  When the load pages the user gets this errror:

    Do you want to view only the webpage content that was delivered securely?

    This webpage contains content that will not be delivered using a scure HTTPS connection,
    which could compromise the security of the entire webpage.

    Does anyone know how to stop the popup?  It is getting very annoying.

      Hi,

      Is there a possible way to use a Macro to add a reminder calendar? So a "pop up" will appear to remind you of something.

      As far as I know, the feature requested is not available yet. However, I found a feature request which might be the nearest to your requirement:

      If you are least happy on the feature request, you might want to raise this issue in JIRA:

      Hope that helps.

      Hello there,

      I'm not very familiar with the Wimba Classroom Conference format. Is your conference available in one of the 'Video' or 'Documentation and presentation' formats listed at the top of the page? If not, then unfortunately it is unlikely to work with this macro.

      Alternatively, if Wimba Classroom Conference provides a gadget that supports the OpenSocial specification and can present a Wimba Classroom Conference, then you could try embedding this gadget onto a Confluence page using the Gadget Macro.

      I hope this information helps,
      Giles Gaskell.
