View all attachments in some pages

[Jasper]

How to view all attachments under one page tree? We require everyone to upload his attachments to his own project page under one page tree. I know the Space Attachment Macro to check the whole attachments in one space. But I just want to see the whole files of one page tree in a space. Does anyone know how to deal with it? Thanks!

Hi @jasper 

Confluence does not offer a native macro that can directly list attachments from a specific page tree, as it only supports listing attachments for an entire space.

You can also explore some Marketplace Apps.

Hope this helps - Happy to help further!!
Thank you very much and have a great one!
Warm regards

Hi @jasper if you need to list them from specific page give a try to my Page Information macro app

Thanks for your reply! I did find no any native macro to achieve.

@Roma Bubyakin _Wombats Corp_ sorry that I cannot use the confluence cloud for we use data center version. I have no administration to try it. Maybe will be considered in the near future.

@jasper it's actually much better, on the DC you can create a custom User Macro that will do whatever you need just from the admin panel.

Here is the template for you.
It is based on the JS and shows attachments as a clickable list.
As input, it uses Page ID or current as default.

## SERVER SYNTAX

## @param ID:title=Page ID|type=int|desc=Page ID to fetch attachments from|default=-1

## Determine the target page ID
#set ($pageID = $paramID)
#if ($pageID == -1)
  #set ($pageID = $content.id) ## Default to current page if no ID is provided
#end

## Placeholder for the attachment list (will be populated by JavaScript)
<div id="attachment-list-$pageID">
  <aui-spinner size="large"></aui-spinner>
</div>

<script>
(function() {
  var pageID = "$pageID";
  var container = document.getElementById("attachment-list-" + pageID);
  var baseUrl = window.location.origin;

  fetch(baseUrl + "/rest/api/content/" + pageID + "/child/attachment")
    .then(response => response.json())
    .then(data => {
      if (data.results && data.results.length > 0) {
          var listHtml = "<ul>";
          data.results.forEach(attachment => {
          var fileName = attachment.title;
          var fileUrl = baseUrl + attachment._links.download;
          listHtml += `<li><a href="${fileUrl}" target="_blank">${fileName}</a></li>`;
        });
        listHtml += "</ul>";
        container.innerHTML = listHtml;
      } else {
        container.innerHTML = "<p><strong>No attachments found</strong> for the specified page.</p>";
      }
    })
    .catch(error => {
       console.error("Error fetching attachments:", error);
       container.innerHTML = "<p style='color:red;'><strong>Error fetching attachments.</strong></p>";
    });
  })();
</script>

 Preview example with one attachment:


The best part is that you can modify it in any way you wish!

• User parameter could be not a Page ID, but searchable Confluence page.
• Formatting could be as a table, for instance.
• Logic could be rewritten to the "backend" on Apache Velocity instead of the JS.
• and so on...

P.S. If you need help with that, just let me know
