An simple dropdown where links can be added

Wiki Support

Hello,

I would like to ask you, if you can provide an user macro that would make it possible to create a simple dropdown where the user can fill in the title and add elements for the dropdown (in edit mode). I would need that links could be used. I found several macros, but either there was no option to add dropdown elements for the user himself or a link could not be used. Maybe it could be like a dropdown made of buttons (links), of course it has to be filled in by the user in edit mode.

Thanks very much

Alex

A drop-down implies a pre-filled list, which doesn't really lend itself to links.

Have you tried using simply the [ to create links?

Hi Nic,

as I am as green as a tree in this I did not try markup for my use. I try to describe it a bit, I want to create a user macro that allows the user to create a dropdown list which he can fill with links, that will be visible as button. One field could be URL and the other Title so he can name his link for the list. Sadly I was not successful with my custom code (as it was just glued together code I found)

If there would be a fee plugin which would do the same I would gladly use it. None I know did meet my expectation.

Ok, I'm still lost on "dropdown" and "links" - a link is a free-form line of text that points to a resource somewhere else. A drop-down is generally a selection from a pre-set list of items.

The [ link notation in confluence allows for links to be given names - for example Mr Flibble links back here, and it can point at attachments or other Confluence pages without needing a full url.

So I'm a bit stuck on imagining what you're looking for. Is it something that tries to construct a url for you? Like "select a server, a name and a string, and I'll generate a link to another system that uses that structure for its links"?

The user has to be able to create that pre-set list of items in the user macro edit. You are right, it should be a link notation, but somehow the syntax does not work, if I use [Google|www.google.com] it wont show at all in the macro. Maybe I use the [ not how I should .

Hello @Charles Licata and @Wiki Support ,

I see that you haven't found a solution for your request here. So I could suggest a workaround for you. As I see it you need to create a noticeable clickable link on your Confluence pages. I believe Handy Button can work for your use case. It is one of many macros from our Handy Macros for Confluence app. You can also create drop down menus with its Handy Status but without a link attached.

Hope that could help you find a solution.
