Is there an attachment list macro that can show all attachments for child pages?

[Josh Kwan]

Hi,

I'd like to be able to show an attachment list on a page and specify the root (e.g. "@self") and have the list macro show all attachments beneath the specified root key.

The Attachment List and View Files macros don't appear to have this ability. Any ways to do this? I do have the Reporting Plug-in if that's a possibility.

Thanks!

Hi Josh,

I did some searches here and I think this is not possible at the moment. I could find a feature request open for this which I suggest you to vote on: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-11968

I hope this helps!

Regards,

Rodrigo

Hi @Matthew Beda 

thanks for this cool code for a macro! It works fine for me. Just had to change 

## @Param into @param

to make it work. 

Do you see any chance make it work for spaces instead of one page? That would be overwhelming awesome. Thanks in advance! 

[Matthew Beda]

If you attached it to the top level Home page it should parse down through the other pages.

[Gustavo Segura]

This is pretty old but found a workaround that might work for others, it is not super elegant...

Given we have the following structure:

page

• sub page
• sub page
  • sub page
  • attachment
• sub page
  • attachment
  • attachment

Lets say we want to display all subpage attachments in the main page. What we did was created a template for the sub pages, which uses the page properties and adds a label to all sub pages.

Under the macro, we have one column that will display the page attachments macro.

In the main page we generate a page properties report with the column that has the attachments macro for the subpage. 

Main page looks like this...I removed some info so it looks kinda weird, but you guys get the point :)

[Matthew Beda]

If you don't want the heavy load of the attachments macro you could use a user macro like this that just creates a UL of attachments on a page. You could the utilize the Page properties macro like @Gustavo Segura mentioned

## @noparams
<style>
ul.sreattachmentul {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
list-style: none;
}

ul.sreattachmentul li a .aui-icon {
top: 3px;
padding-right: 8px;
}

ul.sreattachmentul li .footnote {
font-size: 12px;
color: #9d9d9d;
}

ul.sreattachmentul a {
padding-right: 10px;
}
</style>
#set ($attachmentsList = $content.getLatestVersionsOfAttachments())
#if ($attachmentsList.size() > 0)
<ul class="sreattachmentul">
#foreach( $attachment in $attachmentsList )
#set ($currentAttachmentId = $attachment.id)
#set($AttachmentSize = $attachment.getFileSize() / 1000)
<li>
<a href="$generalUtil.htmlEncode("${req.contextPath}${attachment.downloadPathWithoutVersion}")">
<span class="aui-icon aui-icon-small aui-iconfont-file-generic">File</span>
$generalUtil.htmlEncode($attachment.fileName)
</a>
<span class="footnote"><span>$attachment.creator.name</span> - <span>$AttachmentSize kb</span></span>
</li>

#end
</ul>
#end

We're using cloud, unfortunately no user macros for us...

[Deniz]

Hello. As I understand it, all these custom macros are only for displaying attachments of one page. and how to display the attachments of the parent page and its child pages, without resorting to the use of labels?
Labels for each attachment is very inconvenient.

Ideally: on the parent page, we put a macro that displays all the attachments of this page + the attachments of its child pages.

[Matthew Beda]

Please look at my previous post for March which pulls in all the attachments based on the define page as ancestorid. If you combine this with either embedding the atlassian attachment macro markdown or with a my other post on October you should be able to figure out a way to get the desired results.
