Display page version from draft space to published space

[Ally Lancaster]

Hey Community!

I am using a user macro to display the confluence version number which is working great.

## @noparams
Issue #$content.version

But I would also like to display the version number of the same page from a difference space. I am using Comala publishing to publish from a draft space to an approved space.

In the draft space I would like to display the approved version page number followed by the draft version page number.

In the draft space it would look like this:

• Version: 4.11 OR;
• Approved version: 4 | Draft revision: 11

In the approved space it would look like this:

• Version: 4

Is this possible? Thank you :)

Hi Ally,

You can do that by using Comala Workflows and Comala Publishing.

In the draft space, you need to save the approved version using set-metadata macro where "@version@" is a value reference to the content version.

   {trigger:pageapproved|approval=ApprovalName}

        {set-metadata:approvedversion}@version@{set-metadata}

        {publish-page}   

    {trigger}

You can display the draft version and the approved version in pageheader macro using get-metadata macro:

   {pageheader:visibility=all}

               Approved version:{get-metadata:approvedversion}| Draft revision:{get-metadata:version}

    {pageheader}

To copy the draft approvedversion metadata to the published space, you need to check "Page Properties" checkbox in Publishing Options screen in Space Tools/Publishing Configuration.

Lastly, to show pageheader in the Published space, you need to add the following workflow:

{workflow:name=Published Space Header|hideStates=true}

    {description}

        This is the workflow for the published space to show metadata from the draft space

    {description}

    {state:invisible|final=true}

    {state}

    {pageheader:visibility=all}

        Version: {get-metadata:approvedversion}
       

        {pageactivity}

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
