Content Comparison

h3. Basic Features

|| Feature to test || Test Plan || Result ||
| Can the search be limited to our space only?  If not, can we add a search box to the left nav panel which will search our space only? | check with Collier; check Notation Guide | the global search (top right corner) can't be changed; a search box for the library space only has been added to the left nav panel (using the search-box macro) |
| can we search for pages edited before a given date (find outdated pages)? | posted question on Atlassian support wiki | not currently.  Atlassian recommends extending the search and then filtering the results.  More testing needed. |
| Can a space admin add people to or remove people from a group created by another space admin? | | yes.   We will need to come up with some best practices or etiquette for space admins \\ |
| Can we easily export XHTML from Confluence back to our website? | | option 1: right-click on the page, view page source and copy the HTMl for the content portion of the page; option 2: use the Export Space link (under Browse Space > Advanced) to select multiple pages for export at once |
| can we easily create XML feeds for specific pages or groups of pages? | | yes - use the Export Space option as above |
| Confluence in Safari (on the Mac) | | Rich Text editing not available in Safari; rich text editor is available in Firefox |

h3. Permissions (Restrictions)

|| Restriction to test || Test Plan || Results ||
| if a Space Admin restricts viewing of a page to a group, can a Space Admin not in the group still see the page? | tested with Lindsey - Lindsey created a group (PastPerfect) and then created a page under the Committees hierarchy and restricted both view and edit rights to the PastPerfect group only | Janet was not able to see the pages, however the Space Admin page includes a link to Restricted Pages which allows all space admins to view all restricted pages and alter permissions set by other space admins \\ |
| if a Space User limits viewing of a page  to a group, can a Space Admin not in the group still see the page? | tested with student assistant \\ | user restricted viewing of page, admin not able to view page.  Link to page still show up if show-to macro not used when displaying link.  restricted page does not show up in list of child pages (if you use the children macro, the link won't display) |
| if a Space Admin limits viewing of a page  to a group, are all children of the page restricted as well? | Lindsey's PastPerfect pages: only set restrictions on the first page (not child pages of that page) | Janet was not able to see the child pages, even though they had not had their view restricted |
| if a Space User limits viewing of a page  to a group, are all children of the page restricted? | tested with student assistant \\ | child pages inherit restrictions from their parent pages regardless of who sets the restriction \\ |
| if a Space Admin restricts editing of a page to a group, can a Space Admin not in the group still edit the page? | | |
| if a Space User limits editing of a page  to a group, can a Space Admin not in the group still edit the page? | | |
| if a Space Admin limits editing of a page  to a group, are all children of the page restricted as well? | \\ | child pages inherit restrictions from their parent page regardless of who sets the restriction |
| if a Space User limits editing of a page  to a group, are all children of the page restricted? | | |
| can links to other Confluence pages (or external pages) be restricted to only display to a specific group? | create group (library-test-space) with users jhack (space admin) and jfultz1 (space user); create links using hide-from and show-to macros for both internal Confluence links & external links; see if other users and space admins (not in the group) can view links; | links can be displayed to select groups only, however you must also restrict editing privileges for the page since all links are visible when editing the page |
| can links to attachments be restricted to only display to a specific group? | | attachments cannot be restricted, but the restrictions on the parent page carry over to the attachments (if the page has restricted editing the attachments have the same restrictions)\\ |
| can news posts be restricted to only display to a specific group? | | news posts can't be restricted and can be edited by anyone (permission settings as of 4/18/2008)\\ |
