How can I get the Browse->Space Directory output to include the Space Administrator?

[Sami Moran]

I'd like my Space Directory listing to include the same information as your documentation site does. See https://confluence.atlassian.com/spacedirectory/view.action .

To access this view on your documentation site, click Browse->Space Directory.

We're currently running Confluence 4.04.

Thanks!

You need to change the Space Directory bundled plugin in order to do that. Go to <confluence-install>/confluence/WEB-INF/classes/com/atlassian/confluence/setup and open "atlassian-bundled-plugins.zip" file. Locate "confluence-space-directory-4.x.jar" and open it using an archiving utility. In templates folder, there are two files that you need to edit.

space-directory.vm

This template displays what is shown in the Space Directory. Locate the code below at line 55:

<span class="column-heading desc-heading">$i18n.getText("description.name")</span>

and add the following code below it:

<span class="column-heading admins-heading">Space Administrators</span>

space-item.vm

Locate the code below at line 11-13:

<div class="entity-attribute space-desc">
        <span>$generalUtil.htmlEncode($desc)</span>
    </div>

and add the following code below it:

<div class="entity-attribute space-admin">
        <span>
		#set ($permissions = $space.getPermissions())
		
		#foreach ($permission in $permissions)
			#if ($permission.getType() == "SETSPACEPERMISSIONS" && $permission.getUserName())
			<a href="/display/~$permission.getUserName()" class="url fn confluence-userlink userlink-0" data-username="$permission.getUserName()" title="" data-user-hover-bound="true">$userAccessor.getUserIfAvailable($permission.getUserName()).getFullName()</a>
			#end
		#end
		
		</span>
    </div>
