titleFeature Retirement: frevvo for Confluence

Atlassian is dropping support for Confluence Server in 2024 and encouraging customers to migrate to Confluence Cloud. The frevvo plug-in is not compatible with Confluence Cloud. Existing frevvo for Confluence licenses will be supported, but frevvo for Confluence will not be available for new customers.

Please see the frevvo for Confluence page for details about this announcement and recommendations.

Warning

The macro syntax is different if you are using the add frevvo add-on for Confluence v3.x versus the add frevvo add-on for Confluence v4.x

Here is an example template using the frevvoresolve macros in Confluence v3.x for our Client Information example:

...

The template syntax changed once again in Confluence v4.3 and v5.x. Here is a video showing how to create a template by adding frevvo macros to the template using the Confluence macro browser. The steps to create a template differ slightly from the video if you are using Confluence v4.3.  Refer to the Confluence Documentation for this information. The method to add the frevvo macros using the macro browser is the same in v4.3 and v5.x.

  • The form is submitted with the new values
  • The user with the edit lock logs out of the frevvo server. Note that a logout of Confluence does not trigger a corresponding logout of frevvo.
  • The user with the edit lock's session expires to the form server

Warning

Make sure that you have read and understood the section on using /wiki/spaces/frevvo100/pages/1062994254 that generates frevvo generates.

Once your form is in use, your users have submitted the form a few times and Confluence pages have been created from those submissions, you must be careful when making edits to the form. If you make incompatible changes to the form - essentially, if you change the structure of the form in such a way that it is incompatible with the original structure - your users may not be able to Edit their existing Confluence pages using the form. That's because the Edit Confluence page functionality relies on initializing the form with the XML document generated by frevvo. Please read the above-mentioned Section on /wiki/spaces/frevvo100/pages/1062994254 that frevvo generates carefully before you edit your forms.

When you move a form page and the child pages associated with it to a new space, frevvo will search for the Parent page in the new space. In this case, the parent page did not get moved to the new space. frevvo will not find it in the space where the form is now (new) and an error is displayed. One of the following approaches should prevent the error from happening: 

         1. Move the form and it's parent page (this will automatically move all the child pages) to the new space. frevvo will find the Parent page in the new space and create/update will work correctly.
