Do you have the Reporting plugin installed? The 'content' supplier and many others are supplied by that plugin.

A comment on the question "Edit page is no displaying anything." in CustomWare:

Glad to hear it's sorted out. Sorry it took so long!

You're correct, the documentation you mentioned is a bit out of date. I'd actually forgotten it existed... We'll update it shortly. Thanks for the heads-up. – David Peterson, on November 09, 2009 16:57

David Peterson replied on November 09, 2009 15:42 to the question "How to create a mailto-link from scaffolding field" in CustomWare:

I don't know if it's a _better_ way, but an alternate way is to use injection, something like this:


{hide-if:action=edit}{report-on:injected=true}[mailto:%data:Email%]{report-on}{hide-if}


Actually ends up a bit longer than your solution. Use whatever works, I say :)

David Peterson replied on November 09, 2009 01:42 to the question "table-data macro not compatible with table macro" in CustomWare:

Not directly - options like {table-row} and {table-cell} don't even exist, as you're no doubt aware. You can get some extra control by wrapping the {table-data} with a {div} and styling based on that. You can also put {div} or {span} values inside cells, although it's difficult to affect the whole cell contents (I believe you can basically do it by setting your padding/margin values to 0 for the table cells and the contents.

Something like this:


{style}
.myclass table th .mycolumn {
color:#003366;
background-color:#f0f0f0;
text-transform:uppercase;
font-weight:bold;
vertical-align: center;
}

.myclass table td .mycolumn {
vertical-align: center;
}
{style}

{div:class=myclass}
{table-data}
|| {span:class=mycolumn}Color Name{span} ||
| {span:class=mycolumn}{list-data:Color}
{list-option:Red}Red{list-option}
{list-option:Yellow}Yellow{list-option}
{list-option:Blue}Blue{list-option}
{list-option:Green}Green{list-option}
{list-data}{span} |
{table-data}
{div}


Not exactly what you were after, but hopefully usable.

Hi Alexander,

Scaffolding doesn't do anything directly with SQL. It looks like you have a configuration problem with Confluence somewhere (I'd guess with your database, from the looks of it). I'd suggest contacting Atlassian Support to see if they can sort you out.

A comment on the problem "Plugin unable to log into confluence despite correct URL and Credentials" in CustomWare:

Hi Carl,

Unfortunately, I'm not too familiar with the Salesforce plugins, so I've contacted a couple of other people who are, and will get back to you by early next week. – David Peterson, on November 07, 2009 01:37

Hi there,

Could you please create a bug report and I'll schedule it for investigation. Thanks!

David

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I've been buried in work for a different project.

This is rather odd. Have you created an issue in JIRA? I'll schedule it for investigation ASAP.

David Peterson replied on November 06, 2009 03:15 to the problem "Plugin unable to log into confluence despite correct URL and Credentials" in CustomWare:

I believe the plugin should be installed by either uploading, or from the Plugin Repository, rather than copying into WEB-INF/lib. Remove it from there and upload it via the Administration > Plugin screen instead, and see if you do any better.

David Peterson replied on November 05, 2009 17:53 to the question "Edit page is no displaying anything." in CustomWare:

When you say you've copied it over to the directory, what do you mean exactly? It definitely won't work if you install it by copying into WEB-INF/lib. I'm assuming you meant that you tried it both ways.

If you have it in WEB-INF/lib, remove it from there and restart Confluence.

David Peterson replied on November 05, 2009 16:40 to the question "Edit page is no displaying anything." in CustomWare:

It will work fine out of the box. How are you installing it? Via the plugin repository? Or some other method?

When you say you're using a sample, do you mean sample wiki markup?

David Peterson replied on November 05, 2009 14:54 to the question "Edit page is no displaying anything." in CustomWare:

Hi Jo-Anne. I'm not sure what the issue would be exactly. Many people (hundreds, in fact) have gotten this plugin working with Confluence before, so it's a bit mystifying what might be causing your problems. It seems like you have the right version of both Confluence and Scaffolding. All a bit odd....

David Peterson replied on November 04, 2009 14:29 to the question "Which plugin version works with older Java version 1.4?" in CustomWare:

I'm not sure that there is a specific version that will work in this case. We switched to Java 5 for all the Confluence 2.8-friendly versions of both plugins, I believe. You could try one of the older versions for Confluence 2.7, but I'm pretty sure Scaffolding at least will have issues. Reporting might be ok.

Sorry about that!

David Peterson replied on November 04, 2009 06:59 to the question "If - then functionality in Scaffolding" in CustomWare:

It can't be done 'live' in the scaffold edit page, but you can use Reporting to do an 'if' type statement using filters on the report-body. Eg:


{report-block}
{local-reporter:data:My List Data}

{text-filter:@self|include=Foo}
{report-body}Foo selected{report-body}

{text-filter:@self|include=Bar}
{report-body}Bar selected{report-body}

{report-empty}Nothing selected{report-empty}

{report-block}

Not yet, to my knowledge, unfortunately.
