Create a custom Button on the Confluence Header

Create a custom Button on the Confluence Header

Hey all!

i'm trying to create a new custom Button to create a blogpost in whatever space the user is currently visiting.

I have found:

<script>
AJS.toInit(function(){
    AJS.$('.aui-header-primary .aui-nav').append('<li><a href="http://www.atlassian.com" class=" aui-nav-imagelink">Atlassian</a></li>');
});
</script>

wich does create a Button with a Link to Atlassian but what i try to reach is:

/pages/createblogpost.action?spaceKey=AJS.params.spaceKey

AJS.params.spaceKey is the Javascript part that gets the SpaceKey.

How can i combine the HTML href command with the Javascript ?

Thanks in advance

Hi @fkoehn

You almost gave yourself the answer :)

You have to concatenate the spacekey and the link:

<script>
AJS.toInit(function(){
AJS.$('.aui-header-primary .aui-nav').append('<li><a href="/pages/createblogpost.action?spaceKey='+AJS.params.spaceKey+'" class=" aui-nav-imagelink">Create Blog Post</a></li>');
});
</script>

Hey @Dominic Lagger

I had the same exact answer figured out but i had to reload the page once to actually reach the site to create Blogposts. your Code works though.

Trying to figure out why now.

Thank you very much!

@Dominic Lagger this is exciting, I was able to use this to add a "button" to a space header that creates a page from a specific template. Awesome!
