Extend Includeplus Macro

Description

The Include+ Macro should allow to include

  • attachments from a page

  • text fragments from a page (VSN-3052)

  • allow the include of pages from other spaces done in 3.11.0 release

Rationale: Users do not want to create individual pages for each content snippet they want to include.

Environment

None

We really need a way to make sure that excerpts from pages (content reuse) works with Scroll Translations. Currently our workaround is to replace Multi-excerpt Include macros with Include Plus. But this includes the entire pages.

Do you have another suggestion for a workaround for now? I assume the Excerpt Include macro won’t work with Translations, either.

Thanks,

Gina

Hi Nils,

yes it clarifies the situation. We are interested in releases As this issue is open since 2013, "no ETA" might mean a release at the end of 2017 or in 2021.

Hi Martin,

Sure thing, please keep asking those questions.

We'll also support the publish feature in combination with the enhanced content reuse, but this is something we're currently working on (whereas the "include content form other spaces part" is almost finished).
As it doesn't make sense to release the two parts separately, we'll need to wait until the publishing part is also implemented and then come up with a new release.

I hope this clarifies the situation.

Best,
Nils

Hi Nils,

thank you for the information. Sounds promising. Does this mean without using the publish feature, the include plus will work across spaces in the near future?

I will keep asking questions like this, because sometimes features lose their priority for the developers. In this case we would rethink our strategy concerning our documentation, because reuse across spaces is still the most missing feature in confluence since Scroll Versions disabled this core feature.

Regards
Martin Kellner

Hi Martin,

Allowing to include content from other (versioned and translated) spaces is something we're currently working on and which will be shipped with the next minor version of Scroll Versions.
We're currently working on the publishing mechanism for this new functionality and will release this new version as soon as possible (no specific ETA yet).

We'll communicate any new news about this as soon as there's something to share.

Best,
Nils
