space-metadata-list macro

Overview

The space-metadata-list macro allows the user to attach multiple pieces of metadata to a space with one macro (see the metadata-list macro for the equivalent functionality for pages)

Parameters

Parameter	Required	Default	Notes	Version

Parameter	Default	Notes
`unnamed first parameter(s)`		No parameter is required. The metadata names and values are added to the body of the macro. Do not use any reserved Confluence metadata names or words.
`hidden`	`false`	`true` – metadata value is not displayed on current page `false` – metadata value is displayed on current page This option to hide or display the metadata values affects only the page that contains the `space-metadata-list` macro. It does not affect any pages where the metadata is reused.
`orientation`	`vertical`	`vertical` – metadata values are displayed vertically `horizontal` – metadata values are displayed horizontal
`clear`	`false`	Clears the values for any metadata on the page on adding the macro to the page `true` – any existing metadata values are removed `false` – any existing metadata values are retained

Usage

To add multiple pieces of metadata to a space, choose the Space Metadata list macro in the Confluence macro browser:

The macro editor allows you to configure the macro.

The macro editor only includes the following options for the macro:

display metadata as a vertical or horizontal list
hide the metadata from being displayed on this page
clear any existing metadata values of the page before setting the new metadata and values

You must Insert the macro to add the metadata names and their values using the space-metadata-list macro placeholder:

The metadata name and value can be plain text or include simple wiki markup.

In the example above the metadata and their values are rendered in a table on the page:

Existing metadata values can be cleared on adding the macro to the page by checking the Clear value option in the macro editor.

This macro is for setting metadata values for the space, not for listing existing metadata values.

Reference Markup

{space-metadata-list}
|| Location | Europe |
|| Division | EMEA|
|| Headquarters | Bilbao, Espagne|
{space-metadata-list}

For the space in which the page is located:

the metadata names are added as space metadata.
the metadata values are set as those in the body of the macro.

The default is to display the metadata and the values on the page in a tabular format.

Add clear=true to remove any existing space metadata on the page.

Usage with the Comala Document Management app

The {space-metadata-list} macro is partially supported by the Comala Document Management app.

{trigger:pageupdated}
    	{space-metadata-list}
          || Name | Comala Metadata Plugin |
          || Version | 3.5.x |
          || Product Versions | Confluence 6.x |
          || Author(s) | Captain Comala |
        {space-metadata-list}
    {trigger}

If the macro is used at workflow level in the Comala Document Management app do not use it together with the orientation parameter, for example {space-metadata-list|orientation=horizontal} as this is unsupported and will cause an error.
