Linking to a Blog Post
To link to a blog post,
You need to know the title of the blog post as well as the date on which it was created.
- Convert the date into the format: year/month/day.
- You can now create a link to the blog post, like this:
where:What you need to type
What you will get
Unknown macro: {nomarkup}[/2007/06/25/Sample Blog Post]
[/2007/06/25/Sample Blog Post]
'/2007/06/25' is the date the blog post was published.
'Sample Blog Post' is the title of the blog post.
Examples of Use
You have three options:
1. Directly providing the URL (absolute path)
[http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/2007/06/25/Sample+Blog+Post]
http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/2007/06/25/Sample+Blog+Post
2. Including the alias as well
[my blog|http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/2007/06/25/Sample+Blog+Post]
3. Using the relative path (on the same server)
Note: You must provide the entire path to the blog post.
[my blog|DOC:2007/06/25/Sample Blog Post]
You can also link to a whole day's blog posts, just by leaving out the blog post's title at the end of the link.
[my blog|DOC:2007/06/25]
You must create the blog post first
Linking to a blog post that has not been created yet will not result in a link. Blog posts are very tightly bound to the time at which they were created, so it makes no sense to link to them before they exist.
Linking to a List of Blog Posts
To link to a list of blog posts within a given space,
You need to know the key of the space.
What you need to type |
What you will get |
|---|---|
[blog posts|http://myConfluenceURL/pages/viewrecentblogposts.action?key=ABC] |
Where:
'myConfluenceURL' is the URL address of your Confluence system, e.g. 'confluence.mycompany.com'.
'ABC' is the key of the relevant space.
Try the Blog Posts macro for an in-page display of blog posts
If you'd rather show a dynamic list of blog posts on your page, instead of a link to the blog posts, try the Blog Posts macro.
