Links with the space parameter as a placeholder

Maria Asnes

As part of our documentation flow, we have 3 working spaces (User, Technical, Logic) and we would like to publish them (using Scroll Versions) to 1 public space.

The documentation is for a versioned product, so we have a situation where for each release we have a new public space.

We would like to have links between User, Tech and Logical documentation. Is there a possibility when creating a link to indicate instead of the spacekey, a spacekey variable that would tell: in the current space find page X.

E.g. https://wiki.cloud.clicksoftware.com/display/<spacekey placeholder = current space>/

Thanks

The only way I can think of doing this with a user macro for your links that detects what space it is when forming the link. This solution would assume you have four different space names so that it would create a cross-space link when it sees User, Technical, and Logic, and then a local link when it sees it is in the destination space.

Fortunately, user macro support the parameter type you need:

## @param page:title=Page|type=confluence-content|required=true|desc=Select a page do use

Bonus Points

If you package this user macro as a plugin, you can add it to the insert menu to make  it easier for user to enter.
