------------------------------------------
Summary: add user comments to confluence
Key: CONNECTORS-1386
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONNECTORS-1386
Project: ManifoldCF
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Confluence connector
Affects Versions: ManifoldCF 2.6
Reporter: Andrew Shumway
The confluence crawler skips comments. For a site which uses this as a
recorded collaboration platform the comments often are where the text is which
needs to be searched.
I've found that by adding `children.comment.body.view` to the `expand`
querystring field you can get one level of comments. Subsequent levels can be
added to the response by adding {{children.comment.children.comment.body.view}}
for the second level. 3rd, 4th, 5th levels of comments can be added with the
5th being
{{children.comment.children.comment.children.comment.children.comment.children.comment.body.view}}
I realize that this doesn't get 100% of the comments but 5 levels of nesting
seems like a reasonable chunk to capture.
An alternative would be to crawl comments separately and set the page-type to
'comment' rather than 'page'. While this also has value I think fetching the
comments along with the page requests offers the biggest bang for the buck.
