The standard context provider or templates.
Prior to version 1.11 the name of the class has been de.smartics.projectdoc.atlassian.confluence.ProjectDocContextProvider.
Description
The main purpose of the context providers is adding additional parameters to the blueprint context. These parameters are available in the templates that are created by the use of the page wizards.
projectdoc usually demands that every document provides a name (that may differ from the page title) and a short description. The context provider may alter any of the parameters or add additional ones.
Provided Context Parameters
Page Title and Document Name Handling
If the targetLocation or adjustTitleAfterMoveRequest is not set by the wizard (soy template), the placeholder @parentPageTitle be replaced with the parent page's name. The sort key property will also be set to the next higher number according to the current siblings of the new page, if at least one placeholder is used.
Otherwise the title of the page is set to the name of the document.
The space key is accessible by the key spaceKey from the blueprint context.
Since it is sometimes convenient to render a complete XML tag, this XML fragment is also generated and stored by the key spaceKeyElement:
<ri:space ri:space-key="spaceKey" />
Here is an example on how to use the XML element with the Create from Template Macro:
<structured-macro name="create-from-template">
<parameter name="blueprintModuleCompleteKey">someKey</parameter>
<parameter name="buttonLabel">Some Label</parameter>
<parameter name="spaceKey"><at:var at:name="spaceKeyElement" at:rawxhtml="true"/></parameter>
</structured-macro>
This example shows how the spaceKeyElement property is used to render the complete element.
The following properties are added to the blueprint context.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|
projectdoc.doctype.common.creationDate | The date of the creation formatted by the user's preferences. |
projectdoc.doctype.common.creationTime | The time of the creation formatted by the user's preferences. |
de.smartics.projectdoc.creationDateInstance | The date instance for access by the Java API. |
Translate Placeholders in Short Description
The following placeholders are translated:
| Placeholder | Description |
|---|
@parentPageTitle | Inserts the title of the parent page. |
@pageTitle | Inserts the title of the current page. This is useful for template authors for use cases where a macro references a page by its title. It cannot be used with the wizard, because the page has no title. |
@spaceKey | Inserts the key of the current space. |
@spaceName | Inserts the name of the current space. |
@currentDate | Inserts the current date, formatted by the global formatter configuration. |
@currentDateToken | Inserts the current date formatted by yyyy-MM-dd (year, month, day). |
Example Usage
The context provider is used for regular templates of your blueprint. It helps to map the wizard's input information to the page.
The following fragment registers your template as a Content Template Module:
<content-template
key="my-template-key-template"
i18n-name-key="projectdoc.my-template-key.template.title">
<resource
name="template"
type="download"
location="/my/path/to/my-template-key-template.xml" />
<context-provider class="de.smartics.projectdoc.atlassian.confluence.ProjectDocContextProvider" />
</content-template>
The my-template-key is usually the name of the template (e.g. retrospective or user-character).
