How to render spaceKey for macro in Blueprint template

[Ewen Fortune]

Hi,

I'm developing a blueprint that creates a new space with a hierarchy pages, some of which contain macros such as the livesearch macro. How can I ensure the current spaceKey is set inside a template for a newly created space.

I had understood that I could use the at:var syntax in thesrc/main/resources/xml/space-home.xml

<at:var at:name="spaceKey" />

For example:

<p>
        <ac:structured-macro ac:name="livesearch">
          <ac:parameter ac:name="placeholder">Search this customer</ac:parameter>
          <ac:parameter ac:name="spaceKey">
            <ri:space>
				<ri:space-key>
					<at:var at:name="spaceKey" at:rawxhtml="true"/>
				</ri:space-key>
		</ri:space>
          </ac:parameter>
        </ac:structured-macro>
      </p>

Is there a way to do this? - Do I have my syntax wrong?

Thanks,

Ewen

OK.... syntax problem....

It was the surrounding xml that I actually had wrong, refactored like this and it works.

<p>
  <ac:structured-macro ac:name="livesearch">
    <ac:parameter ac:name="placeholder">Search this customer</ac:parameter>
    <ac:parameter ac:name="spaceKey">
              <at:var at:name="spaceKey" />
    </ac:parameter>
  </ac:structured-macro>
</p>

Sweet!

It works on creation and I have used this for quite a while. But once you edit and save the page and you want to revert to the original page version later, you'll get a " java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String cannot be cast to com.atlassian.confluence.content.render.xhtml.model.resource.identifiers.ResourceIdentifier". So it seems that not all uses cases for using a String instead of a ResourceIdentifier are properly handled by Confluence. Tested on Confluence 5.4.1.

Same problem here. I get a ClassCastException, because Confluence seems to expect a space object, not just the space key (as string). How do I get it to expand <at:var...> into the actual space object?? Confluence 5.8.13
