Needs Macro That Changes View in Intervals

[Terri Berry]

Is there functionality for my Confluence page for an object that will switch views like every ten seconds or so to the user and the user can click on one of the views to be taken to another page?

Hi Terry,

Handy Macros add-on has a Handy Carousel macro, you can take a look at this.

Thank you for that suggestion as well, Andrey! I missed that one! :)

Hi Terri,

Can you clarify a bit what you need? It is definitely not a built-in feature but there might be an add-on for that, otherwise you can write a User Macro if you're on Server.

I believe you might be referring to something like a changing banner like some websites have, but if you can describe more what you need, it will help us to suggest a solution for you.

That is exactly it! A changing banner.....that moves in a window.....Also what would work is an image that fades out and can be replaced by another. Like a Slideshow basically but it would be hands-free for the user. Would also consider a slideshow that the user had to manually slide through pages/images

Thank You

Terri,

Thank you for verifying that.

I did find a few add-ons that might help you, but I cannot confirm their exact behavior as I haven't personally used them before:

• Presenter for Confluence
• Image Slider for Confluence

As well as a few here that might do the trick:

• Marketplace: Confluence apps related to "slides"

Otherwise, you could use script to do this, and insert it using the HTML macro:

• Creating an image slide show

Just be aware that the HTML macro isn't enabled by default and so you'll need your administrator to enable this for you.

If you happen to be on Confluence Cloud instead of Server, that final option won't work for you, but you still may find many relevant add-ons that could help you out.

I hope this helps but let me know if you have any questions.

Regards,

Shannon

Thank You....would you happen to know if I could download these macros/add-ons without if I am already using a companywide and licensed version of Confluence?
