How to edit link color based on target space

Frederik Lombaert

We would like to have the links to a certain space appear in red color. Links to other spaces can appear in blue color. (Confluence Cloud)

Otherwise a user will only discover AFTER clicking on a link that it leads to a restricted space ("access denied").

So I'd basically like bulk format editing for links based on the space of the linked page.

Any advice?

Hi @Frederik Lombaert 

In theory, if you create custom CSS for your site you can use an attribute selector to match links whose target contains certain keywords, for example:

a[href*="RESTRICTED"] {
    color: red;
}

 

The link styling wouldn't have anything to do with actual space permissions, and would only look at the target URL.
