The projectdoc Toolbox is an add-on for Confluence supporting agile software development teams to collaborate on process, project, system, and product documentation.

There are no additional steps necessary.

List of Changes

The following changes are part of version 7.2.0 of the projectdoc Toolbox for Confluence

Key Summary T P Description
PDAC-1837 Rendering of Labels in Index Card Macro Bug Major

Properties of a document are not rendered properly in the Index Card Macro. If a property has no value, the name of the property must not be rendered. Also, the property values should be rendered in their HTML representation and not as plain text.

PDAC-1836 Rendering of HTML Links Bug Major

Rendering of HTML content in links within Display Table is broken if HTML markup is part of the label.

PDAC-1833 Support custom Doctype Homepages Improvement Major

If the space closure defines a custom homepage for a doctype, then this homepage must be rendered for the Doctype Homepage Artificial Property.

PDAC-1831 Prerender Property for Properties Macro Improvement Major

When rendering the Document Properties Marker Macro in Export Mode, the properties may not already been rendered. Checks with values fail, because the value has not been generated.

Instead we need to make sure that services have access to a rendered value, albeit this is a prerendered one.

PDAC-1835 Allow to attach Properties to a rendered Document as JSON New Feature Major

Rendering properties to a document as an HTML data attribute allows to make this information available for further processing. It is required for the HTML Export of projectdoc Documents, but should be allowed to make available on rendered Confluence pages in HTML mode, too.

PDAC-1834 Access Normalized Rendered Properties in Velocity Context New Feature Major

Currently the API allows to access rendered property values in HTML. We must also allow to access the rendered normalized property values.

Also allow to pass in the page ID as a String value.

PDAC-1829 Action Button with Attachment Support New Feature Major

Add a macro that allows to render an action button with a link to an attachment on a Confluence Page.

PDAC-1832 Section Icons' z-Index Bug Minor (migrated)

The z-index of the section icons (chevron and edit icon) are too high. They are displayed over the popup windows of Confluence, but should be rendered below.

PDAC-1828 New Page Creation with Blueprint Handling Bug Minor (migrated)

When creating new pages based on Page Blueprints no event must be thrown for Confluence 9.1.x.

PDAC-1827 Adjust Code Block Placeholder Macro Improvement Minor (migrated)

The Code Block Placeholder Macro uses the Codeblock Macro provided by Confluence. Since the API of the Confluence macro has changed, we need to adjust the API of our macro, too.

We will continue to support a fixed list of languages, though. This may change in a future version of the macro.

Basically the names of the parameters changed and the Theme Parameter is no longer supported.

PDAC-1830 Action Button with URL Support New Feature Minor (migrated)

A separate macro should support the Action Macro with URLs. The current Action Button Macro allows to specify URLs, but the Parameter Value is typed as Confluence Content. Therefore, we need a more user friendly support for uses cases with URLs.
