Hi Carl,

I'm glad this solves your problem.

I have forwarded your comment to the tech writers in charge of the documentation on the site and will have it updated to reflect your comments, thanks for your suggestions.

Bo Wang replied on November 08, 2009 22:59 to the problem "Plugin unable to log into confluence despite correct URL and Credentials" in CustomWare:

Hi Carl,

When configuring your SalesForce username/password, are you using your normal password that you use to log into SalesForce?

The password actually requires your security token appended to the end of it, so assume your password is "mypass" and your security token is "XXXXXXXXX" then your configured password in the connector should be "mypassXXXXXXXXX".

Please let us know if this solves your problem.

Hi Dan,

Good to hear from you, I agree completely with that, I'll be looking into updating it with some details about using both the SDK as well as the the new AMPS maven plugin (very keen on checking out the source code for this as soon as I get back to Sydney) :)

Hi Michael,

Thanks for raising this to our attention.

This looks like it might be an URL encoding issue, please raise an issue regarding this in our JIRA and we will take a look at this.

In the meantime, can you please try using URL encoded versions of the problematic characters, the URL encoding reference table can be found at: http://www.w3schools.com/TAGS/ref_url...

Please let us know if this is a suitable workaround for this issue.

Hi Christian,

This should be possible, there is an example written for this kind of scenario in the Confluence Extensions space on the Atlassian website, please take a look here: http://confluence.atlassian.com/displ... in specific, refer to the Scaffolding + Reporting + Visibility = User Macro section of the guide.

This should create an editable link on your Confluence page.

Bo Wang replied on September 16, 2009 02:25 to the question "sorting doesn't seem to work inside expanding-reporter" in CustomWare:

Hi Brian,

I think this might be because comments themselves do not have titles so trying to sort by them will have no effect, you can however, sort the page titles as part of the local-reporter to achieve what you are looking for, here is the markup for the updated expanding-reporter:

-------------------------------
{expanding-reporter:content:all comments|as=comm}

{local-reporter:children} {text-sort:title} {local-reporter}

{date-sort:comm>creation date|order=descending}

{expanding-reporter}
-------------------------------

Let me know if this works for you.

Bo Wang

Bo Wang replied on August 14, 2009 06:01 to the question "Tracking changes on scaffold" in CustomWare:

Hi Joe,

We actually made a little video regarding this as it is one of the most commonly asked questions that we receive, you can view it here:
http://www.customware.net/repository/...

Basically, to view what has been changed, just click the Tools -> History link and you can view the historical versions of the scaffolding data, currently there is no display to show what has changed (showing the differences from version to version), but you should be able to see what was in the scaffolding fields at each version.

Bo Wang replied on August 03, 2009 23:52 to the problem "Please make it possible to eliminate the icon when popup=true!" in CustomWare:

Hi Vijay,

This is actually already in the link-to macro, Iam unsure of the version that this was added but it definitely is in the 2.6.8 release.

The parameter to turn off the icon is "popupicon", just add popupicon=false to your link-to macro to see if it works for you, if not you may have to upgrade to get this feature.

Bo Wang replied on July 22, 2009 21:59 to the question "Live-Template Error" in CustomWare:

Hi Kay,

Good to hear that one problem is resolved :)

In regards to updating the data, this is because the fields you are using in your template is the Confluence default template input fields which does not work in conjunction with live-template, to have updatable fields, please use the ones that come with the scaffolding plugin such as text-data (or any other xxx-data macro).

Please visit http://www.customware.net/repository/... to see a full list of possible macros you can use to generate the different xxx-data fields.

Bo Wang replied on July 22, 2009 01:05 to the question "Why don't the Reporting listeners work with Visibility Plug-in?" in CustomWare:

Hi,

You can achieve this by using the inject functionality as part of the report-block macro, try the following:

{report-block}
{local-reporter:creator}
{local-reporter}
{report-body:injected=true}
{show-to:%name%}
Stuff to show ONLY to the creator.
{show-to}
{report-body}
{report-block}

Bo Wang replied on July 21, 2009 23:56 to the question "Live-Template Error" in CustomWare:

Hi Kay,

I agree with kykorner that this might be the cause as I am unable to replicate the problem using my local Confluence when referencing the template name exactly, however, with the excess white space, it is unable to find the template, make sure that your live template macro does not have any excess white space and also make sure that the template name itself does not have any leading or trailing white spaces, please let us know if you are still experiencing the problem after trying these things.

If possible, can you please raise an issue in http://jira.adaptavist.com/browse/SCAFF if one does not exist, trimming the template name to remove excess white space should be quite simple and avoid future confusion when using live templates.

Bo Wang

Bo Wang replied on July 21, 2009 23:49 to the question "Why won't 'reply count' work from the Content Supplier?" in CustomWare:

Hi,

I think this might be because not all content are allowed to have comments and thus made more sense to be moved into the page suppler instead (where the comments exist),I do not think reply count exists within the page suppler however, you can just chain it by using something like:

page:all comments > collection:size

to get the number of comments on the page.

Hope this clears things up a bit.

Bo Wang

Bo Wang replied on July 17, 2009 00:15 to the question "Live-Template Error" in CustomWare:

Hmmm, that is quite odd, can you provide the template (both the name of the template as well as the contents) and the wiki markup you are trying to use so that I can try replicating your problem on my side? (if there is any confidential information in the template then please remove it before posting it here)

Bo Wang replied on July 17, 2009 00:11 to the question "Space listing issue with Confluence 3.0" in CustomWare:

Hi Erik and David,

I actually gave this a little test on my Confluence 3.0 and it seems that you can sometimes trick the confluence renderer to not render new lines by removing some white space within the report-body.

Try this:
{report-block}
{space-reporter:space=@global}
{text-sort:space:name}
{space-reporter}
{report-body} !http://intranet/images/icons/web_16.gif! {report-info:space:name|link=true} {report-body}
{report-block}

The actual content is the same as your example,however I removed the new line characters within the report body (so that it is all in 1 line), by removing the line breaks in the actual macro, it seems to get rendered on the same line (although doing so makes the macro kind of unreadable when the statements get a bit longer...)

Hope this works out for you :)

Bo Wang

Bo Wang replied on July 16, 2009 03:01 to the question "Is there a way for attachment-data to reference attachments on another page?" in CustomWare:

Hi Shawn,

None that I know of, I think the reason is that attachment-data supports the uploading of attachments and if the source is on another page the uploading might be problematic.

For cases where attachments on another page needs to be referenced, try using a combination of list-data with attachment-options

Heres an example:
{list-data:attachmentsFromAnotherPage}
{attachment-options:content=AnotherPage}
{list-data}

Bo Wang replied on July 16, 2009 02:45 to the question "How to use collection-filter to add labels according to multiple selection list?" in CustomWare:

Hi Cass,

You may want to consider using the Scaffolding plugin (list-data and list-option is part of Scaffolding) in conjunction with the Reporting plugin, basically the Reporting plugin allows you to go through collections of values and use them to generate other macros, here is an example using reporting and your App_type list-data field:

| *Application type:* | {list-data:App_type|type=select|multiple=true|required=true}
{list-option}web_site{list-option}
{list-option}intranet{list-option}
{list-option}web_app{list-option}
{list-option}application{list-option}
{list-option}other_app_type{list-option}
{list-data} |

{report-block}
{local-reporter:data:App_type}
{local-reporter}
{report-body:injected=true}
{add-label:%value%}
{report-body}
{report-block}

This should basically add an add-label macro for every App_type that was chosen in the list above it.

Hopefully this fulfills your needs :)

Let us know if you are having any other problems.

Bo Wang

Bo Wang replied on July 16, 2009 02:30 to the question "Live-Template Error" in CustomWare:

Hi Kay,

Some templates are space specific and thus will exist in certain spaces but not others, can you please make sure that the template you specified in the live-template macro exists in the space that you are using the macro in? You can try to find out by going to create a new page and then click the link to select a template (this appears on the create page screen just underneath the title input box).

Bo Wang

Glad to hear it, you are welcome :)

Bo Wang replied on July 02, 2009 00:17 to the question "Card Transition" in CustomWare:

Hi Meredith,

I think I came across a similar issue in the past, basically the nextAfter DOES work, however, only after the user clicks on one of the cards first, once they click on one of the cards, it will start cycling through properly.

Hi David,

It seems like the auto-transitions are only enabled once the user selects the card explicitly. Would you have any idea off the top of your head about the reason behind this? I am not too sure of the cause myself as I have only worked briefly with the plugin.

Bo Wang replied on July 02, 2009 00:05 to the question "How to Report data on children on their children pages?" in CustomWare:

Hi Joe,

Try using one of the other types of reports for this, for example, here is the code to show all COMPLETED tasks as a report-table (within the original table), embedded tables :)

|| Completed Tasks | {report-table:displayTitles=false}
{local-reporter:children}
{text-filter:data:TaskStatus|include=COMPLETED}
{local-reporter}
{report-column:title=Report Name|summaryValue=Total Count}{report-info:content:title|link=true}{report-info}{report-column}
{report-column:title=Report Name|summaryType=count|summaryFormat=#}{report-info:content:modifier|link=true}{report-info}{report-column}
{report-table} |

Give that a try, I also included the last person to modify the report so you can also get a sense of who is responsible for each particular report.

Hope it suits what you are looking for.
