titleDescription

Pasting an URL to a Confluence page renders a representation that is clickable. If the URL points to an issue on a connected JIRA instance, this link is automatically converted to a macro that links to the issue. The feature responsible for this is Autoconvert for pasted Links.

The Information Systems Extension for the PDAC1 also provides autoconverters. Once an URL to a resource that is configured is pasted to a Confluence page, this URL is autoconverted to a projectdoc macro.

Information Systems Extension  

Section
titleConfiguration

You need to specify the remote information systems you want to enable autoconvert as space properties.

For this example we assume that autoconvert should be enabled for Wikipedia.

Steps
Section
titleOpen Space Homepage for Editing

Navigate to a space home page where you want to enable autoconvert.

Tip Box
titleUse the Index Space

Since this is often a site-wide decision, consider to set the properties in the index space.

Note that the delegate-space Delegate Space property allows to define parent pages where the index space the the root of all spaces.

Section
titleAdd Wikipedia URL

To add a remote server add the url-wikipedia-en space property.

This introduces the information system wikipedia-en (without the url- prefix) and specifies the root URL to the information system (which may or may not be a link by itself).

Section
titleEnable Autoconvert

Not every URL you specify should be considered for autoconverting. Therefore you need to inform projectdoc that this new URL is actually to be a base URL for autoconverting by the use of the space property information-system-autoconvert-hint Autoconvert Hint .

Multiple values are separated by comma. Note that you specify the system ID wikipedia-en you specified in the previous step. Also note that projectdoc needs to know how information is autoconverted. In our case it is linking, therefore we add ":link".

Section
titleCheck Configuration

Paste an URL to a page on Wikipedia in edit mode of a page in your Confluence and check that your configuration is correct!

Caution Box

Note that property names and values need to be free of any additional HTML envelopes! If you copy & paste values from an HTML page, there may be additional div or span elements around those values.

If you think everything should be all right, have a look at the page with the Confluence Source Editor or delete the lines and type them manually (without copy & paste).
