Summary
The cache Cache macro works well with many macros, however, there are cases that you may need to order your macros carefully to get the expected results. The cache macro Cache macro does not support macros that use javascript asynchronous approaches to bring data into a page. This is because the cache macro Cache macro caches the rendered HTML content, which in that case is just a place holder for data that then still needs to be brought in.
See Future Macro macro - Interoperability for interoperability with the Future Macromacro.
This page is intended to document interoperability with other advanced macros. Please comment or report on other interoperability problems.
Outer Macro | Macros | Status | Tested | Restrictions & Workarounds | Discussion | ||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| cache | chart |  |  | Use the chart Chart macro attachment parameters to persistently store the generated chart image so it can be displayed at a later time. Another alternative is to put the cache macro Cache macro inside the chart macro to save on the generation of the data from external sources while still doing normal rendering of the chart. | Normally, the chart Chart macro creates a temporary image to display. The cache macro Cache macro captures the html that references the temporary image. This displays properly as long as the temporary chart image is available. Once the temporary image is gone on the server, the chart can no longer be displayed by another browser. | ||||||||||
cache | expand | | | Reverse the macros — use the cache macro Cache macro inside the expand Expand macro. Avoid using the cache Cache refresh parameter. It makes all the expand Expand macros contract since the expand Expand macro does not remember the last setting. | Since 6.1, a workaround has been implement to make the expand macro work inside a cache a Cache macro pending full availability of Confluence 5.4.3 (see CACHE-75). | ||||||||||
cache | expand or similar | | | Reverse the macros — use the cache macro Cache macro inside the expand macro Expand macro. Avoid using the cache Cache refresh parameter parameter. It makes all the expand macros Expand macros contract since the expand macro Expand macro does not remember the last setting. | Prior to 6.1, workaround is to put an expand macro Expand macro somewhere on the page outside of the cache macro Cache macro. See
The expand settings (expand or contract) are javascript JavaScript based and not part of the html HTML that is captured by the cache macro Cache macro. | ||||||||||

Some compatibility problems on Confluence 5.2 - 5.4.3 due to
Resolved with Confluence 5.4.3 and above together with Cache for Confluence 6.3 or above. | Workaround is to put the specific macro somewhere on the page outside of the cache macro Cache macro (this brings in the resources necessary). If necessary, use the Hide macro with render body to achieve this without showing anything on the page. | |||||||||||
