Create blog post from template via link or button?

Jan Priebe July 3, 2019

We are using the Templates for Blogposts addon. Now we would like to enable users to create a blog from a template using a button or link, just like it can be done with the native macro "Create from Template" for pages. 

This macro would always create a page though. Can anybody help me to create the necessary URL I would need to use for the link or button?

In the Confluence URL list I found this entry for creating a page from template: 

<confluence-url>/pages/createpage-choosetemplate.action?spaceKey=<spaceKey>&newspaceKey=<spaceKey>&fromPageId=<pageId>

Does anybody know if this is possible for blogs, too?

Thanks to the superb support I got a reply directly from the App maker. There comes a macro "Create blog post from template" with the addon which I was not aware of

This process, from this other post, worked for me:

If you want to try, replace the CAPS text in the steps below with your own values

1. Went to my personal space overview:
     https://SITE_NAME.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/~SPACE_NUMBER/overview
2. Copy SPACE_NUMBER to the clipboard.
3. Delete everything starting with /spaces to the end of the url.
4. Replace what you deleted with /pages/createblogpost.action?spaceKey=SPACE_NUMBER

That new URL can now be bookmarked as a "Create new blog post" shortcut.
