Macros doesn't render on template preview

XMLWordPrintable

      NOTE: This bug report is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding bug report.

      When you add a macro to a template, some of them (like TOC, Page Tree Search or Page Tree) fail to preview (but they work completely fine when the template is used afterwards) because they expect a space to exist. This is true even when creating a space template, which is bad.

      The error thrown when creating a TOC macro on a template is:

      Error rendering macro 'toc' : null

            Since Confluence 5.5.4 was withdrawn is this fixed in Confluence 5.5.6?

            Hi jau,

            Can you tell us what flavour and version of Confluence you are running? Is it OnDemand or the download version? If it is OnDemand, you should not be seeing this issue. If it is the download version, you can check your version in the footer. The issue is fixed in Confluence 5.4 and above.

            Hope this helps!

            Atlassian Team,

            I have experienced the same error message when I was trying to add a macro (table of contents) into my templates.

            Can you please look into that?

            Thanks,
            Jimmy

            The two mentioned issues have been resolved (in CONF-23346 and CONF-25590 accordingly), so I am now marking this issue as resolved for 5.4.

            I get the error ALSO when viewing published (saved) page. I created my own template. TOC error came in preview of the template. Then when created the first page based on the the template I keep getting the error.

            I just found a workaround or actually a bug in my own template!
            -error seems to occur when you have some problems in your Heading tagged content. In my case, there where some strange inline coding? in Heading 1 Style content. I deleted the line, rewrote the heading and applied Heading 1 style.

            Other trick which might have had a positive impact was toggling TOC style between Inline and Flat (as you open Edit for TOC element).
