Get/display Page ID - Confluence Internal Code

AccountName:AIB

I am trying to display a page's ID within itself i.e. within the content of the page the page ID is displayed.

Q/A within the community recommend using $content.getIdAsString() but that has not worked. I've tried to input this within a HTML macro and without one as well but to no avail.

I'm trying to get the ID of the page so that an HTML code block could reference the page it is included on instead of inputting the page ID by hand every single time.

Looking forward to your responses.

Hi,

you have to create a user macro with that content:

## Macro title: getpageid
## Macro has a body: N

## @noparams

$content.getIdAsString()

Then, put the macro to your page.

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for the quick reply and much appreciated. I had a hunch (which I was ignoring) that this ought to be put in a macro. In turn, could this macro then be used within an HTML code block?

Here is what my code block looks like right now:

<input type="image" src="/download/attachments/171705685/BackReturn.png" onclick="location.href=document.referrer; return false;"> 
<input type="image" src="/download/attachments/171705685/PDFdownload.png" onclick="location.href='/spaces/flyingpdf/pdfpageexport.action?pageId=171706153';">

The last pageID (underlined) is what I am trying to get through the code/macro (dynamically) so that it doesn't require manual input every single time. Could it be something like action?pageId=getpageid

Thomas Schlegel

No, you can't use that in an html code block natively. This macro simply returns the id as a string.

But you could change the macro, so that it is not only displaying the id, but returning the whole html-input-tag.

I have to leave now, so I don't have the time to try that out.

I will look at this tomorrow, but maybe you can try it meanwhile on your own. It's not so hard ;-)

Sounds like a plan. I'll give it a try.

Thanks again
