Device Type Renderer module

Available:

Confluence 4.3.3 and later

This plugin module enable you to register a new device-type specific renderer to be used when rendering Confluence content for a specific device type (where device type is known at render time by ConversionContext.html#getOutputDeviceType(). The Renderer you are registering must already exist as a named bean in your plugins Spring configuration.

Configuration

The root element for the Component plugin module is device-type-renderer. It allows the following attributes and child elements for configuration:

Attributes

Name*

Description

key

The identifier of the plugin module. This key must be unique within the plugin where it is defined. The key must match the id of a Spring configured bean present in your plugins Spring context. The bean must implement the Renderer interface.

Default: N/A

i18n-name-key

The localisation key for the human-readable name of the plugin module.

name

The human-readable name of the plugin module. I.e. the human-readable name of the component.

Default: The plugin key.

*key is required

Elements

Name*

Description

description

The description of the plugin module. The 'key' attribute can be specified to declare a localisation key for the value instead of text in the element body.

device-type

The device type that this renderer will be used for (e.g. at render time ConversionContext.html#getOutputDeviceType() will be queried and the Renderer with a configured 'device-type' that matches will be used.

This element can be repeated for each device type this renderer applies to.

*device-type is required

Example

Here is an example atlassian-plugin.xml file containing a single public component:

1
2
<atlassian-plugin name="Hello World" key="example.plugin.helloworld" plugins-version="2">
    <plugin-info>
        <description>A basic component module test</description>
        <vendor name="Atlassian Software Systems" url="http://www.atlassian.com"/>
        <version>1.0</version>
    </plugin-info>
 <device-type-renderer name="Mobile Renderer" key="mobileViewRenderer">
 <description>The renderer used for rendering content in Confluence Mobile.</description>
 <device-type>mobile</device-type>
 </device-type-renderer>
</atlassian-plugin>

The matching Spring configuration for the plugin would need to have a bean configured with the id 'mobileViewRenderer' to match the key on the <device-type-renderer> element, e.g.

pluginContext.xml Snippet

1
2
<beans:bean id="mobileViewRenderer" class="com.atlassian.confluence.content.render.xhtml.DefaultRenderer">
    <beans:constructor-arg index="0">
        <beans:bean class="com.atlassian.confluence.content.render.xhtml.TransformerChain">
        etc...
