Confluence SharePoint Connector 1.3 : SharePoint Connector 1.3 Release Notes
This page last changed on Feb 20, 2011 by jclark@atlassian.com.
23 February 2011 Atlassian is proud to present the Confluence SharePoint Connector 1.3. This release includes a number of end user features and administration improvements. Most notably, the Confluence Page web part and a Confluence Tree View web part now support web part 'Connections.' This means that you can configure the Confluence Page web part to dynamically update when a user clicks within the Tree View web part. In addition, the Confluence Page web part now displays any comments associated with that page, allowing SharePoint users to view threaded discussions happening in Confluence. Our developers have managed to squeeze in a number of other improvements too. Better sub-folder support in the SharePoint List macro, full support for row-level security, improved handling of anonymous users in Confluence, and a nicer integrated search experience are just a handful of the extra goodies in this release. To see the full picture, take a look at the list of improvements below.
The Confluence web parts now support web part 'Connections'. This allows users to browse the pages in a Confluence space without leaving SharePoint. Setting up the connection is easy – just edit the SharePoint page and use the menus to connect the web parts together.
A new option in the Confluence Page web part allows users to toggle the display of comments on a Confluence page within the web part. If you use comments to discuss your Confluence content, this discussion can now automatically be displayed in SharePoint.
One of the best features of the SharePoint Connector is the ability to search Confluence and SharePoint at the same time. Prior to SharePoint Connector 1.3, you needed to use the SharePoint Decorators theme if you wanted to search SharePoint from your Confluence space. In 1.3 we've eliminated this dependency so that you can now add integrated SharePoint search to any Confluence space, regardless of the theme you're using.
SharePoint Connector 1.3 gives you more flexibility and security when embedding SharePoint lists into your Confluence page:
