Can I retrict the blog post macro to show blog posts only from a particular space cateogry?

Hi guys,

I'm wanting to use the blog post macro to displays all blog posts from spaces from spaces that come from a particular space category.

One of the parameters of blog post macro is Restrict to These Spaces. In it, you are able to specify space names to show which spaces the blog posts should come from, or use a one of the 'special values', as outlined below.

Special values:

• @self — The current space.
• @personal — All personal spaces.
• @Global — All site spaces.
• @favorite — The spaces you have marked as favorite.
• @favourite — The same as @favorite above.
• @all — All spaces in your Confluence site.
• * — The same as @all above.

Is there any way to specify a space category? For instance, just show blog posts that come spaces that have the category 'teams'? I know that I can specify each space directly but that list is getting large and growing so I'd rather just use the category. It is a possible parameter value in lots of other macros so I'm thinking it might work here?

Sorry, I don't think this is possible with any of the out of the box macros. I don't think you can even filter on space category using CQL (Confluence Query Language).

Ok thanks @JA. I guess I'll just reference each space name individually for now and add new ones as they come up
