Syntax of profile picture macro

[Christian Christian]

Hi guys!

Since Confluence 4 it is not possible anymore to see the syntax of a macro. As we are using refinedwiki theme with a customized layout, I want to show the profile picture of the current logged in user on the dashboard. But to be able to solve this I would need to know the syntax of this macro, like {profile-picture|user=@self}

thanks,
Christian

Browse to Tools | View Storage Format and you'll get something like

<ac:macro ac:name="profile-picture"><ac:parameter ac:name="User">david</ac:parameter></ac:macro>

Wrap this is a user macro and you get...

## Macro title: My Profile Picture
## Macro has a body: N
## Body processing: None
## Output: HTML
##
## Developed by: David Simpson
## Date created: dd/mm/yyyy
## Installed by: My Name

## Display a picture of the currently logged in user
#if($action.remoteUser)
<ac:macro ac:name="profile-picture"><ac:parameter ac:name="User">$action.remoteUser.name</ac:parameter></ac:macro>
#end

Hi David!

Thanks a lot - finally I got it. And finally I got the answer how to use macros wherever there is no macro editor available!

One more question to this. The macro is working fine and does exactly what it should. The only problem is that on the landing page it shows " $action.remoteUser.fullName" if the user has not logged in yet. How can this be hidden from users which are not logged in yet? As far as I know the hide-from and show-to macro is not yet compatible with confluence v4.

@Christian Neureiter: Check the update. Hopefully it will fix your problem.

Works perfect - thanks a lot!

Hi Christian, hi David,

is it possible to use this macro with wiki markup, too? For instance defining template pages or where else wiki markup is still used.
