Confluence 3.5 : Displaying List of Attachments in a Page
This page last changed on Jan 04, 2011 by smaddox.
Use Confluence's Attachments Macro to display a list of attachments that belong to the current page. It will generate a table like the image shown below. Screenshot: List of attachments from 'Attachments' macro On this page: Usage with the Macro BrowserTo insert the attachments macro into a page using the Macro Browser,
Once you've found the attachments macro, click 'insert' to add it to your page. Usage with the Wiki Markup Editor
ParametersParameters 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 (:).
Examples1. Filter Attachments by File Name{attachments:patterns=.*jpg,.*gif} Use a comma-separated list of regular expressions to specify the filenames of the attachments you want displayed.
Here's a detailed tutorial on regular expressions. 2. Include Old Attachments{attachments:old=true} An optional true/false value determines whether to show old versions of attachments. This is set to false by default. Viewing and Editing Files from the Attachments MacroIf an attachment is an Office or PDF file, you will see a 'View' link as shown in the screen snippet below. Furthermore, if the attachment is an Office file, it will also have an 'Edit in Office' link. Screenshot: Office and PDF file page attachments with 'View' and 'Edit in Office' links
Click the 'Edit in Office' link to edit the content of the Office file in your Office application. You must have a compatible Office application installed to do this. Refer to Working with the Office Connector for more information. Attachment Information IconThe page Working with Attachments Overview does not exist. Notes
