MultiExcerpt integration with Comala Document Management (CDM)
MultiExcerpt macros work with other apps like the Comala Document Management. Administrators must enable the feature from the app's Configuration page and CDM to make this integration work smoothly.
The following points must be remembered:
A MultiExcerpt Include renders the latest approved version of MultiExcerpt content.
If the MultiExcerpt content was not approved and only draft versions exist, users without the relevant permissions cannot see the draft content in a MultiExcerpt Include. Instead, an error message that says they cannot see drafts is displayed.
Administrators must select the Comala Published Version Integration Enabled parameter in the MultiExcerpt Admin configuration page (Settings > Appfire Configuration > MultiExcerpt in the left sidebar). The same feature must be enabled (Published view macro transform parameter in CDM's configuration) from the Comala plugin.
If the integration is not working, check the logs. If you see the “Error creating bean with name 'net.artemis.plugins.conf.multiexcerpt4.advanced.xhtml.integration.comala.WorkflowConfigurationServiceFactory': Bean instantiation via constructor failed; “ error, verify if CDM was installed after MultiExcerpt on the instance.
To solve this issue, uninstall, then reinstall MultiExcerpt.
Before uninstalling, use the UPM to check and note the enabled/disabled states for all MultiExcerpt modules. You can then restore the states after reinstalling MultiExcerpt, as Confluence’s UPM sets the status of plugin modules to their default values after an uninstall/install.
