Gliffy Macro

Description

The Gliffy macro is a bridge between Gliffy macro used in Confluence and the Diagram macro used in XWiki. The aim of this macro is to allow users to view and also to modify the diagrams migrated from Confluence. By default, the macro displays the preview of the Gliffy diagram. The user can create the editable version of the diagram, by using its representation into an XWiki diagram, always having the option to go back to the preview of the original diagram.

Parameters

ParameterDescription
nameThe diagram identifier. It should be the name of the attachment storing the Gliffy diagram data. It should not have a filename extension. The Gliffy diagram exports consist in attachments added to the parent page. For example, for a diagram called MyGliffyDiagram, there will be two attachments on the parent page: MyGliffyDiagram.png (the filename with a ".png" extension) representing the preview of the diagram and MyGliffyDiagram (with no filename extention) representing the diagram data.

Besides the name parameter, the {{gliffy}} macro used in Confluence has other parameters that don't have to be cleaned, because these parameters are being ignored by this bridge macro.

Example of usage

The syntax of the macro using the diagram called "MyGliffyDiagram" is the following:

{{gliffy name="MyGliffyDiagram" /}}

The result is the following:

MyGliffyDiagram.png
