Is there a developer console

[Heidi Yablonski]

I can't believe I'm asking this but is there a developer console in Confluence?  How do I access the developer tools? I need to enter some code to make my attachments open in a new tab.... I have the code but don't know where can enter it.

Confluence doesn't have anything I think of as a developer console, but I think it is a bit of a vague phrase.  Could you expand on what you're thinking it might do?

Without that though, I could say:

If you're using the SDK and a developer installation (which you can create with the SDK), that adds some functions that help you dig into Server Confluence a bit deeper than with a standard install.

You could try injecting code in the developer tools in your browser too.

Cloud is a different matter, it has a dev console for handling app authorisation, but there's nothing on the front end as you wouldn't be developing apps inside Confluence, you develop them alongside it, so a developer console would have to be done inside your app, rather than confluence.

Maybe I need the SDK install.  I think it's set up with a local server.  There's really not anyone here I can ask.  They want me to do software development and I am an admin of the site but all I have is the GUI wiki editor

What development are you being asked to do?

[Heidi Yablonski]

They want me to build out the site. They are asking me to make it so all the attachments open in a new tab.

Where do i go to add the:

Target = "_blank to the <a href> HTML tag

How do o get there?

?

That's not something you can "code" for by changing just content.  You'd need to be writing apps, possibly even amending the core code in Confluence.

Exactly. How do u write apps and amend the code. Where do I go to do that?
