Remote Control with Wiki Link Macro
Suppose you have a Library Space that collects all external resources for a selection of work groups. The teams of the work groups may have their individual Workspaces with a Space Index rendering all resources from the library using a Display Table Macro. Alternatively the workspaces could use the Wiki Link Macro to render a link to the resources homepage of the Library Space and control the selection criteria by overriding the Where parameter of the Display Table Macro on that page.
To control a macro remotely the macro needs to have an identifier.
For instance add the identifier pd-documents to the Display Table Macro.
The Wiki Link Macro provides a Request Parameters parameter to configure.
First specify the page to link to. Since we are addressing the homepage for resources on a delegate space, we use the Page parameter to specify the name.
We assume that the library space is already configured as a delegate space and the work space has no Resources page.
Next we set the request parameters:
pd-documents:where=$<Tags>=[My Workgroup]
The label is in italic indicating that the (in our case) the resources are on a delegate space.
The URL generated with the Wiki Link Macro looks like this:
.../confluence/display/MYSPACE/Resources?pd-documents:where=%24<Tags>%3D[My+Workgroup]
The resources page of the library for the request launched by clicking the Resources link will only contain resources that are tagged with "My Workgroup".
