## Configuring the connection
|
|
|
|
The connection requires three parameters `base_url`, `user` and `pass`. While `user` and `pass` don't really need an explanation, for `base_url` you need to set the path to the server without `rest/api`, this will be added automatically.
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"confluence": {
|
|
"base_url": "http://my_confluence_server.com/",
|
|
"user": "my_username",
|
|
"pass": "my_password"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Where to upload
|
|
|
|
Now that the connection is defined, you need to tell it where you want your documentation to be uploaded.
|
|
|
|
For that you need a `space_id` (name that appears at the beginning of the urls) and an `ancestor_id`; the id of the page that will be the parent of the documentation's homepage.
|
|
|
|
You can obtain the `ancestor_id` id by editing the page you want to define as a parent: the ID is at the end of the URL
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"confluence": {
|
|
"space_id": "my_space",
|
|
"ancestor_id": 50370632
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also provide a `root_id` instead of an `ancestor_id` in this case, you specify the id as the homepage of your documentation.
|
|
|
|
You can use that when you're uploading your documentation to the root of a Confluence Space or if your page already exists.
|
|
|
|
## Prefix
|
|
|
|
Because confluence can't have two pages with the same name in a space, I recommend you define a prefix for your pages.
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"confluence": { "prefix": "DAUX -" }
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Update threshold
|
|
|
|
To make the upload quicker, we try to determine if a page changed or not, first with a strict comparison and if it's not completely identical, we compute the difference.
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"confluence": { "update_threshold": 1 }
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you set `update_threshold` to 1, it will upload only if the page has more than 1% difference with the previous one.
|
|
|
|
By default the threshold is 2%.
|
|
|
|
Setting the value to `0` disables the feature altogether.
|
|
|
|
## Delete old pages
|
|
|
|
When a page is renamed, there is no way to tell it was renamed, so when uploading to Confluence, the page will be uploaded and the old page will stay here.
|
|
|
|
By default, it will inform you that some pages aren't needed anymore and you can delete them by hand.
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"confluence": { "delete": true }
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
By setting `delete` to `true` (or running `daux` with the `--delete` flag) you tell the generator that it can safely delete the pages.
|
|
|
|
## Information message
|
|
|
|
When you create your page. there is no indication that the upload process will override the content of the pages.
|
|
|
|
It happens sometimes that users edit the pages to add / fix an information.
|
|
|
|
You can add a text in a "information" macro on top of the document by setting the following configuration :
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"confluence": {
|
|
"header": "These pages are updated automatically, your changes will be overriden."
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It will look like this :
