What can I use instead of space jump macro on Confluence 6

Question

I'm considering migration from Confluence 5.10 to 6.x and my problem is that I use documentation theme which was eliminated in 6.x. I have read migration FAQ here but this page does not say what can I use instead of spacejump macro.

Thus I appreciate any suggestions on what to use if I want to have similar functionality to spacejump in Confluence 6.x

Hi John,

Would you mind sharing the user macro you assembled?

Thanks.

I wrote a pretty simple user macro that would allow you to jump between the same page in two know spaces, it has two limitations: 1) It doesn't work with spaces in the page title. It works fine with underscores (used in place of spaces) and can handle some other special characters but,... 2) it doesn't work with / in the page title and that killed dev for me so I didn't try to resolve #1 above. ## Macro title: Doppelganger Link ## Marco has a body: N ## By: John Corwith ## Date: July 2017 ## Description: Link from a page copied to a destination space to edit or view the page in its source space. ## @Param sourceSpaceKey:title=Source Space Key|required=true ## @Param destinationSpaceKey:title=Destination Space Key|required=true ## @Param linkText:title=Link Text|required=true ## @Param pageAction:Page Action|type=enum|enumValues=Edit,View|default=Edit|desc=Action to be performed on the page in the source space. ## the following enables the use of the ContentPropertyManager to set/get user definable page metadata. #set ( $contentManagerClass=$content.class.forName('com.atlassian.spring.container.ContainerManager') ) #set ( $setInstanceMethod=$containerMangerClass.getDeclaredMethod('getInstance',null) ) #set ( $containerManager=$getInstanceMethod.invoke(null,null) ) #set ( $containerContex=$containerManager.containerContext ) #set ( $contentPropertyManager=$containerContext.getComponent('contentPropertyManager') ) #set ( $currentSpace = $renderContext.getSpaceKey() ) #set ( $pagId = $contentPropertyManager.getStringProperty($content, "pageId") ) #if( $currentSpace == $paramsourceSpaceKey ) #if( !($pageId) ) $contentPropertyManager.setStringProperty($content, "pageId", $content.getIdAsString() ) #end #elseif($currentSpace == $parmdestinationSpaceKey) #if( $pageId ) $paramlinkText #else

ERROR: Doppleganger Link macron not initialized.

#end #else

ERROR: Doppleganger Link macro included on a page not in a configured space ($currentSpace).

#end.

Yes, thank you, I linked to the wrong URL. I corrected it in case anyone clicks there in the future.

The dev team replied privately to let me know that if anyone with a commercial license wants the source code for the space jump macro they can download it in the usual way from https://my.atlassian.com/download/source/confluence. That was the conversation on the bug so that's what they addressed.

There isn't any replacement planned for the space jump macro built into Confluence and I didn't find an add-on that provides that exact functionality, though there are quite a few themes on the Marketplace.

I look forward to hearing from other members of the Community who reply to this post. If someone developed a plugin for the space jump macro, perhaps they will share it with you.

Another option is to consider hiring an Atlassian Solution Partner to help you write a plugin.
