In this demo we will show how to embed the Excel file into the custom view (ConfiForms PlainView macro)

Warning

This works for Confluence up to 5.9.x. In order to make this work for later versions of Confluence the part with HTML and PlainView macro should be moved to a user macro. See below for details

Info

Important!

For Confluence versions later than 5.9.x we suggest to have the configuration in a UserMacro, as mixing the HTML macros and PlainView like in the demo will not output a good results, as Confluence strips off the tags which it finds invalid (like a "TR" without a corresponding "TABLE" around and so on)

 

We suggest to have a user macro like this:

Code Block
<table class="confluenceTable">
<tr class="confluenceTr"><th class="confluenceTh">My text field</th><th class="confluenceTh">My file</th></tr>
<tr class="confluenceTr">
<td class="confluenceTd"><p>[entry.sometextfld]</p></td>
<td class="confluenceTd"><p>
  <ac:structured-macro ac:macro-id="a088e4c2-51c4-47bc-9c33-6f887947f9ac" ac:name="view-file" ac:schema-version="1">
    <ac:parameter ac:name="name">
      <ri:attachment ri:filename="[entry.zefile]"/>
    </ac:parameter>
    <ac:parameter ac:name="height">250</ac:parameter>
  </ac:structured-macro>
</p>
</td></tr>
</table>
