I'm trying to build a Link that contains a parameter which is the URL of an attachment. Something like this:
[http://www.foo.com/stuff?url=^attachment.ext]
I don't have access to user macros and I don't have control over the installed plugins, so I'm working with a mostly stock Confluence 3.5 install. I don't have the Script plugin, but I do have the Run plugin. I've tried a few things with the Run plugin, but I can't quite get what I want. For example:
{run-now:replace=url:[^attachment.ext]} [Test | h t t p://www.foo.com/stuff?url=$url] {run-now}
Can anyone suggest another approach?
Thanks!

I'm not sure if that's going to be possible or not :-( It seems like the run macro is a good approach if you don't have the ability to customise Confluence at all or install any plugins.
I do want the full absolute URL, and that is actually what I'm getting. But what I also want is that URL to be interpolated into a hyperlink. The problem that I'm running into is that I can't get the hyperlink to work properly.
If I use "replace=url:[^attachment.ext]" then the hyperlink isn't formed correctly, (i.e. this is the generated HTML):
[Test | h t t p://www.foo.com/stuff?url=<a href="/download/attachments/12345/attachment.ext?version=1&...>attachment.ext</a>
If I use "replace=url:^attachment.ext" then the hyperlink results in an error:
<span class="error">[Test | h t t p://www.foo.com/stuff?url=^attachment.ext]</span>
Ultimately what i want is for the HTML to look something like this:
<a ... href="h t t p://www.foo.com/stuff?url=h t t p://confluence/download/attachments/12345/attachment.ext?version=1&...">Test</a>
I'm not sure if this is possible with the Run plugin, but this is the best approach that I've found so far.
[The "h t t p" above is my attempt to avoid parse errors in OSQA - read those as "http"]
You must be a registered user to add a comment. If you've already registered, sign in. Otherwise, register and sign in.
So the problem with your current approach is that you just want the filename and extension, rather than the full absolute URL to the attachment?
