I am trying to see if there is way to enter a Confluence search query which finds pages containing a macro with specific parameters.
Partial solution: This actually still seems to work from a way back article by Sarah Maddox in so far as one can search: macroName: x*
https://ffeathers.wordpress.com/2011/11/04/how-to-search-confluence-for-usage-of-a-macro/
OR another helpful solution would be how to create something like a regex which searches XHTML or Storage Format for Confluence pages matching the criteria.
Thank you for any insights!!
Hi Brendan,
If you are willing to wirte a plugin, this is the code snippet to find macros and their parameters:
MacroDefinitionHandler macroDefinitionHandler = new MacroDefinitionHandler() {
public void handle(MacroDefinition macroDefinition) {
String macroName = macroDefinition.getName();
if (macroName != null && macroName.equals(MACRO_NAME)) {
buttonCaptions.add(macroDefinition.getParameter(PARAM_CAPTION));
}
}
};
try {
xhtmlContent.handleMacroDefinitions(pageInStorageFormat, conversionContext, macroDefinitionHandler);
}
catch (XhtmlException e) {
throw new PtcException("Couldn't extract button name from MACRO_NAME.",e);
}
I hope this gives you a good starting point.
Regards,
Stephan
you can try using CQL to search for uses of macros (see https://developer.atlassian.com/confdev/confluence-rest-api/advanced-searching-using-cql#AdvancedSearchingusingCQL-macroMacroMacro), but that doesn't let you specify the parameters unfortunately.
