User Macro - Type - Confluence Content - Link to Page

[becki.marsh]

Howdy, I created a user macro that can act as a navigation tile. The end user can search for a Confluence page or use a URL. 

Upon testing, a URL works, and so does a link to a page within the current space. Pages outside of the space do not seem to function.

The param:

## @param TileLink:title=Tile Link URL|type=confluence-content|desc=Link for tile|desc=Search for a Confluence page or paste the full URL path - must include http... 

 The code to utilize it:

<ac:structured-macro ac:name="html" ac:schema-version="1" >
<ac:plain-text-body>
<![CDATA[<script>   

$( "#$!paramTileID" ).click(function() {

window.open("$!paramTileLink");

}); 
</script>]]>

</ac:plain-text-body>
</ac:structured-macro>

 When looking at what the TileLink param contains for other spaces it shows <spacekey>:<pagename>. Any ideas how I can link to other pages outside of the current space?

Many thanks!

Hello @becki.marsh , I have written a lot of user macros, but have not used that parameter type. But I did find this discussion that might help you parse out what you need.

Thanks Bill, I'll have a read through that later and give it a whirl.

It's a shame that the confluence-content type isn't more useful - I'll switch back to using a string :)
