Exact Match Query Fix

Exact match queries failed to be exact for word stems. That is in an exact match for "Tree" documents having "Trees" where also a match.

This has been fixed with this version. Unfortunately that requires that all exact match tokens need to be recalculated. Therefore a reindex of all pages of the Confluence site is required and the document cache needs to be cleared.

Send to Homepage

Most projectdoc blueprint witzards allow to send a new page to its configured homepage. This feature has been completely redesigned which allows to render the altered location already in the page editor.

The update will also fix an issue where sending the new page to another space has been broken with the latest versions of Confluence.

See PDAC-776 - Getting issue details... STATUS .

Remote Controlled Documents

The projectdoc Toolbox supports use cases where a remote system defines the content of a page. The macro parameters of the following macros can be controlled by request parameters.

• Transclusion Macro
• Transclude Documents Macro
• Display Table Macro
• Tour-by-Property Macro
• Index Entries Table Macro

An application may configure the rendering of a page via request parameters. Each macro can be addressed by its manually defined identifier (which happens to be rendered as a HTML identifier attribute). This allows to combine information in Confluence at request time.

Use cases are applications that need to render information on Confluence dependent on the context of the application. If the page needs to show information of different types, remote controlled documents allow to not materialize each combination of this information. Instead the different types are selected with request parameters.

Deep Links in Queries

Prior to this version projectdoc macros had access to the properties of documents in the result set. With version 2.0 also properties of referenced can be accessed. This feature is called "Deep Links".

Suppose "Document" is a property that has a reference (created by a projectdoc macro or a Confluence link) to another document. To select the name of the document, use "Document->Name" as expression of the select macro parameter. Links may be deeper than one level (e.g. " Document->Ref->Person->Name ").

The following macros support this feature:

• Display Table Macro
• Transclude Documents Macro
• Display List Macro
• Display List Template Macro
• Tour Macro
• Display Document Properties Macro

This feature is considered experimental. More information on Deep Links for Select Clauses and Where Clauses.

Impersonating OAuth and Basic Authentication

The projectdoc Toolbox provides services for the Information Systems Extension that allows to use Application Links to authenticate. Impersonating OAuth and Basic Authentication are supported.

The autoconverter (fetching the title information from a remote HTML page) and the transclusion macros take advantage of this new feature.

Breadcrumbs

projectdoc allows to provide a document name in addition to a page title. The page title is required to be unique within a Confluence space, but the name does not. It should be unique within its doctype, but even this constraint is not enforced.

The new breadcrumbs macro (see PDAC-776 - Getting issue details... STATUS ) allows to render the name instead of the title on the breadcrumbs. This macro is required to be rendered in the pages context. We use Brikit to provided this service for the header of every our pages.

Transaction Problems

In certain environments users suffered from transaction problems. These have been fixed in projectdoc Toolbox 1.17.1 Release Notes and are also available in this release.

List Queries

The projectdoc Toolbox allows to specify list queries in a more compact form due to PDAC-802 - Getting issue details... STATUS .

Enhanced Recursion Detection

This version puts more effort in detecting recursions between documents via property references. This is typically only an issue on an empty document cache. But in case of an empty cache this detection stops recursive calls quickly.

Doctype Models

With the Doctype Maven Plugin we unify our blueprint configuration. This will allow us to apply changes to doctypes faster.

Currently the Core Doctypes have already been updated. New doctype add-ons will be based on models and the other existing ones will be translated one-by-one.

Due to the new model approach, we also updated some of the internationalization keys. Therefore old doctype add-ons will not work with this version of the projectdoc Toolbox.

Page Sort Order

Queries now support the sort order defined with the space tool (see PDAC-789 - Getting issue details... STATUS ).

Use #BREADTH_FIRST or #DEPTH_FIRST as Sort By parameter in macros running searches.

Import Version via REST

The latest version of the Maven Extension provides a REST resource to import version information from a Maven artifact. This allows to integrate the import of version information from a build server automatically.

Doctype Add-ons

Doctype add-ons provide space and page blueprints based on the projectdoc Toolbox.

Extension Add-ons

Extension add-ons extends the functionality of the projectdoc Toolbox.

Required Add-on Updates

The following add-ons need to be updated to work with this version of the projectdoc Toolbox.

Reindex required

The following changes require a content reindex.

Doctype Add-ons

Doctype add-ons provide space and page blueprints based on the projectdoc Toolbox.

Doctype add-ons typically provide blueprints based on macros provided by the projectdoc Toolbox. These add-ons need a licensed version of the projectdoc Toolbox to be installed.
