How can i extract automatically the name of the page i'm currently at?

[le tu]

I have a certain line of code which I've defined to appear in any of my space's pages.

This line of code calls a certain script that needs to take as a parameter the page's name, but I don't know how to automatically extract the page's name...

maybe there's a certain code-word for this or another solution you could think of?

For example:

If my line of code is: 

http://sde-cgi....&tag={{PAGENAME}}....

I want PAGENAME to be automatically replaced with the name of the page.

Thanks,

Well, there's two ways you could do this:
1. Generate the link on the backend in a user macro. It would look something like this:

## @noparams
<a href="http://sde-cgi....&tag=$content.title" target="_blank">name of link</a>

2. Generate the link on the front-end with some Javascript. If you have the HTML macro activated, then you could do something like this:

<div id="tag-link"></div>
<script>
    $("#tag-link").html('<a href="http://sde-cgi....&tag=' + AJS.params.pageTitle + '" target="_blank">name of link</a>');
</script>

the target="_blank" is there to make the link open in a new tab. If you don't care about that, you can just remove that part.

interesting, I'm pretty new to this stuff so I couldn't understand the first option, and if you could guide me on where I can learn how to implement the second option it would be great...I know BASH/C++ so I think I'll be able to deal with JAVA if I'll have a good link to guide me...

The first option is a user macro: https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/writing-user-macros-4485.html

This is based on Apache Velocity, which Confluence uses in the background as a templating language. It's basically Java, and has access to many of the Java libraries.

The second option can be placed in the HTML macro, as long as it is activated:

once you have activated the HTML macro, just insert it in a page and paste the text there, and it should work :)
