Previous milestones in the 3.4 release:
Confluence is now bundled with Universal Plugin Manager (UPM). The UPM allows you to see and manage the plugins that you have installed in Confluence, and it allows you to discover, download and install new plugins from the Atlassian Plugin Exchange. You can read more about the UPM here.
User macros are now available in the Macro Browser and can have the same amount of metadata as existing plugin macros. The current default is to hide user macros from browse/search in the Macro Browser until the admin updates them. Below is a screenshot of what the user macro form looks like (Note: This will slightly change in a later milestone)
Confluence administrators and user macro developers can enter macro and parameter meta-data via the admin console. This meta-data will reflected in the macro browser. Below is an example snippet of the new syntax that is available in a user macro:
## @param author:title=Author(s)|type=string|required=false|desc=Include pages created or modified by these authors. Separate each author with a comma. ## @param showLabels:title=Show Labels for Each Page|type=boolean|required=false|default=true ## @param showSpace:title=Show Space Name for Each Page|type=boolean|required=false|default=true ## @param excerpt:title=Display Excerpts|type=boolean|required=false|default=false|desc=Displays the first line of excerpts for each page. ## @param maxResults:title=Maximum number of results|type=int|required=false|default=15 ## @param title:title=List Title|type=string|required=false ## @param spaces:title=Spaces|desc=These are case-sensitive. Separate each item with a comma or single space.|type=string|required=false ## @param sort:title=Sort By|type=enum|required=false|enumValues=title,creation,modified|default=modified ## ## .... (rest of the macro content) |
More detailed User Macro API docs will be provided later, explaining how to enable user macros in the macro browser and how to develop user macros for the macro browser.
