Description

Changed from new feature to bug- Original text of description:

We would like the ability to set attachment macro's column width. Currently "name" column is too short. It doesn't display medium-sized file names very well.
It will be very helpful to provide a way to limit the "comment" column' width too.

This presents a usability problem with larger filenames. We probably shorted filenames in this way in the past because of the absence of browser support for the css3 property: text-overflow.

Most modern browsers now support this property.

Fix

There are 2 modules affected by this bug. The attachments macro and the view attachments page (Tools > Attachments).

To fix the attachments macro, download the version 3.6.7 or newer from the Atlassian Marketplace.

For most users, that fix should be sufficient and you can stop here. If, however, you also need to fix the view attachments page, you'll have to edit confluence/includes/css/attachments.css and add the following CSS code:

#viewAttachmentsDiv table.attachments {
    border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;
    table-layout: fixed;
}

table.attachments .filename-column {
    overflow: hidden;
    text-overflow: ellipsis;
    white-space: nowrap;
}

@media screen and (min-width: 1600px) {
    table.attachments th.filesize-column {
        width: 80px;
    }

    table.attachments th.filedate-column {
        width: 180px;
    }

    table.attachments th.filecreator-column {
        width: 180px;
    }

    table.attachments th.comment,
    table.attachments th.labels {
        width: 200px;
    }

    table.attachments th.actions-column {
        width: 180px;
    }
}

You will need to delete confluence/includes/css/attachments-min.css for these changes to take effect.

Then edit confluence/pages/includes/attachments-table.vm and change:

<th>#sortLink("size", "${sortPathPrefixHtml}size" $action.getText('file.size'))</th>
<th>$action.getText('creator.name')</th>
<th>#sortLink("createddate" "${sortPathPrefixHtml}createddate" $action.getText('columnheading.creation.date'))</th>

to this:

<th class="filesize-column">#sortLink("size", "${sortPathPrefixHtml}size" $action.getText('file.size'))</th>
<th class="filecreator-column">$action.getText('creator.name')</th>
<th class="filedate-column">#sortLink("createddate" "${sortPathPrefixHtml}createddate" $action.getText('columnheading.creation.date'))</th>

and this:

#if ($showActions == "true")
    <th> </th>
#end

to this:

 #if ($showActions == "true")
    <th class="actions-column">&nbsp;</th>
#end

Finally (and most importantly), change this:

$generalUtil.htmlEncode($generalUtil.shortenString($attachment.fileName, 35))

to this:

$generalUtil.htmlEncode($attachment.fileName)
