No "link-to" for editing news

{link-to:page edit} does not work for blog posts (news). I didn't see a "news edit" parameter or anything like it. Is there a way to do this?

Thank you! That's exactly what I needed. I never really understood what attachment-options was for... thanks for clearing it up! – Shawn Stepper, on July 16, 2009 16:50

Is there a way for attachment-data to reference attachments on another page? The documentation doesn't show this as possible, but maybe there is a sneaky way of doing it? :-)

Shawn Stepper replied on July 15, 2009 21:25 to the question "Is there a possibilty for following the history of scaffolding data?" in CustomWare:

You can display history in the page like this:

      {report-table:injected=true}

        {local-reporter:content:version history}

          {date-sort:content:modification date|order=ascending}

        {local-reporter}


        {report-column:title=Date}{report-info:content:modification date|format=MMM dd yyyy HH:mm}{report-column}

        {report-column:title=Modified By}{report-info:content:modifier}{report-column}

        {report-column:title=LOB}{report-info:data:ProjData8|render=wiki}{report-column}

        {report-column:title=Status   }{div:style=float: right; background-color: %data:ProjData1%; width: 8px; margin: 2px;} {div}{div:style=float:left; font-weight: bold; margin: 1px;}{report-info:data:ProjData1|render=wiki}{div}{report-column}

        {report-column:title=Progress}{report-info:data:ProjData2|render=wiki}{report-column}

        {report-column:title=RUP Phase}{report-info:data:RUPPhaseData|render=wiki}{report-column}

        {report-column:title=% Complete}{report-info:data:ProjData3|render=wiki}{report-column}

        {report-column:title=Funding}{report-info:data:ProjData4|render=wiki}{report-column}


        {report-empty}_No version history available._{report-empty}

      {report-table}

It will work for any scaffolding data.

You can do it something like this, but it's hard to do much with the value:

{report-block}
{local-reporter:children}
{text-filter:data:FavColor|include=(?i).*Blue.*}
{local-reporter}
{report-body}{report-body}
{report-footer}Count: {report-info:report:item number}{report-footer}
{report-block}

Obviously you would change your filter. :-)

A comment on the question "Sorting in user-options?" in CustomWare:

Thanks for the tip, but I need to get a handle on the User objects, so plain text won't work. :-( – Shawn Stepper, on June 03, 2009 19:47

Sorting in user-options?

Is there any way to sort the user list in the user-options macro in scaffolding? Even if I give a list of user ids in the order I want, the resulting list has a seemingly random order. I want to order by last name, but ordering by first name would be fine too.

Also, when doing a lookup by group, it's extremely slow ( > 7000 users in Confluence). Does it go through all users in the database, or does it grab a group and look up the users in that group?

Shawn Stepper replied on May 19, 2009 17:11 to the question "Page creation count by user?" in CustomWare:

That produced an interesting report, but you are correct, I am looking for a page creation count within a specific page tree. It shouldn't be too hard with a User Macro, so I'll try that.

Thanks for your help!

Page creation count by user?

Is there any way to create a report that gives a count of pages created by user? I need to get a count of pages created along with user name for children of a specific page in a space. I can't figure out how to do this! Thanks for your help!
