A plugin that allows users to upload zip files to Confluence and have it expanded as individual attachments to the page or blog post.
Confluence's UI is a nice and easy way to get files uploaded to it. When you need to attach files to a page, you can choose to upload to a number of files at a time. The default is 5, but you can configure more. While that works most of the time, there might be times when you need to upload many files at one go. For instance, uploading 50 pictures to Confluence at once.
Let's say I have a whole directory of pictures that I want to show off in Confluence using the {gallery} macro. Uploading all 50 images using the UI would be quite tedious. Imagine all the clicking, selecting, and so forth.
So, why not just zip it all up and have Confluence expand the archive as individual attachments to the page? Now, you can!
Let's say you have a zip archive that looks like this:
and you would like the two text files to be attached to Confluence without choosing them for upload manually. With the plugin, just upload the zip file (secrets.zip) and you're done! Below shows how it can be done with 3 steps.
- Go to a page and choose 'Zip Upload'.
- Choose the zip file you want to upload.
- Upload and view the results.
And you're done!
