For previous versions of Confluence there are separate versions of the projectdoc Toolbox:

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 |
|
![]() |
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 |
|
![]() |
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 |
|
![]() |
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 |
|
![]() |
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 |
|
![]() |
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 |
|
![]() |
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 |
|
![]() |
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 |
|
|
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 |
|
|
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 |
|
|
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 |
|
|
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. |
