User macro showing current user spacekey

[frithjof falck]

Hello,

I'm trying to create a user macro showing the home space key of the current user in plain text. Any ideas?

Hi @frithjof falck ,

please create a user macro, with name and categories at your convenience, with :

• Macro Body Processing : No macro body
• Template :

• ## Macro title: My Macro
  ## Macro has a body: Y or N
  ## Body processing: Selected body processing option
  ## Output: Selected output option
  ##
  ## Developed by: My Name
  ## Date created: dd/mm/yyyy
  ## Installed by: My Name
  
  ## This is an example macro
  ## @noparams
  
  #if($spaceManager.getPersonalSpace($action.remoteUser))
  $spaceManager.getPersonalSpace($action.remoteUser).getKey() 
  #else 
  No Personal Space
  #end

Key of the current user will appear if the current user has a Personal Space. Hope this helps, Fabio

@frithjof falck if you need a link to that space please change Macro Body processing and add <a> in my previous code.

Ciao,

Fabio

Thanks!

Any chance of getting the home space key of the user instead of the personal space key? If that makes any sense.

Hi @frithjof falck ,

what you mean the home space key for the current user? User can have a personal space or he could be the creator of many spaces?

WHat link do you need?

The current users space key where the homepage as set under profile settings is located.

I don't find any API that is able to retrieve this setting.

Hi @frithjof falck 

Please follow the Guide here to create the User Macro

Macro Name: spacekey

Any possibilities for the output to be the current users spacekey? I'going to add it in a <a> tag so that the user will be directeded back to its home space
