futurefuture(warning)(tick)

Since 6.4, many scenarios are now covered. The most significant restriction is Future within an Include within a Future macro.

Confluence 5.4.3 or above provides the most scenario coverage.

Requires release 6.1 and at least Confluence 5.0

Note

For Confluence 7.0 and later versions, when you use the future macro embedded with an expand macro multiple times in a page, it does not expand and collapse as expected. This is because of a known issue - CONFSERVER-40562.

cachefuture(warning)(tick)

It works, but is of little value as Cache captures the rendered body without the rendered data from the Future macro. Each rendering of the page will result in the Future macro getting the data in the background again.

A workaround is to have the macro requiring resources be on the page outside of the Future macro. Perhaps in a Hide macro with rendering.

Fixed in Confluence 5.8.5.

Workaround: Make sure the page has a Code or Code Pro macro outside of a Future macro. This brings in the necessary web resources correctly.

Or install the patched version of the Code macro plugin.
