Button / link to parent page / one level up?

Tomáš Vrabec_mlkuef

Hi guys,

I searched some articles in here, but no exact answer.

Is there a out of box way, how to implement "level up" / "go to parent" page button / link into the Confluence Server / DC without any external plugin?

Customer is 15k users, there is almost no possibility to purchase any plugin in schedule less then 2-3 years of planning

Thanks for hints.

Like @Bill Bailey said, you'll need an user macro for that.

Here is it (h/t @Thomas Schlegel):

@noparams<br>#if (!$content.getParent()) <b>No parent page found</b> <br>#else<br>#contentLink2($content.getParent() false false) <br>#end##

To use it globally or space-wide you could place the macro in the footer (Look and Feel → Sidebar, header and footer).

My suggestion is to write a user macro to do what you want. You will need cooperation from your admins to install the macro. AND you will have to install the macro each time you want to use it.

You may also be able to do it for every page using javascript, but I will assume that your admin team would view that as needing 2 to 3 years of planning.

Is it possible to add the url of the parent page in i a link <a>?

Nicolai Sibler

@frithjof falck Please elaborate on what you actually want to achieve. Your requirement seems to be different from the one above.

The "Link to Location" macro will also work here.

Moving to Confluence Data Center 9.2.0 the suggested User Macro, which is in use, got broken.

Any suggestions?
