projectdoc Toolbox
Allows to render a link constructed with a template to a document dependent on the space closure.
Renders a link to a projectdoc document in the wiki. It is a specialized form of the Wiki Link Macro.
The template allows to construct a document title based on document and space properties.
Parameters
Document Title
The title of the document to link to.
This title may contain placeholders (${...}
) that refer to document and space properties.
Space Key
The key to the space the document is part of.
If empty, the macro tries to find a term with the given page title on the delegate space. Also see Dynamic Document Link Macro#Space Closure to control the space closure to use.
Anchor
The Anchor allows to define a document fragment to reference on the target document.
The anchor value may have one of two forms:
- If the first character is a hashmark (
#
), then the anchor is used verbatim as fragment part of the generated URL - If the first character is not a hashmark (
#
), then the anchor is a section title and a proper anchor is derived
So if the reference is to a section using the Section Macro, simply add the title of the section. If the user knows the identifier or anchor in the HTML code, use that identifier an put a hashmark (#
) in front.
Valid values: Section Titles and Identifiers
My Section Title
#my-element-id
#myAnchorName
Doctype Constraints
Referenced documents must match the doctype provided by this parameter to be considered a valid link target.
If a document does not meet the constraints or is not a projectdoc document, it is skipped while traversing the space closure (including the current space).
Since 4.9
The parameter is available since version 4.9 of the projectdoc Toolbox.
Label
The label to render instead of the document name.
It may contain property placeholders (like ${Title}
) of the referenced document.
Lower Case
When checked the label of the link is rendered in lower case.
This is especially useful for text in the English locale to appear in the body of a section.
Tooltip
Allows to override the tooltip which defaults to the short description provided by the referenced termdocument
It may contain property placeholders (like ${Name} ${Short Name}
) of the referenced document.
Abbreviation Mode
Renders the abbreviation or short name with the name as tooltip.
CSS Classes
The optional CSS classes to add to the link.
Space Closure
The space closure defines which spaces are to be considered for searching.
Valid values are
space-default
delegate-space
search-space
self-space
(since 4.5)
Per default the delegate spaces are used. This is what the is most often needed: the location where new documents are stored per default is the location this macro will link to.
If you have a space that references the latest version of a product space, you may want to link to information to be found in any space. In this case the space contains the latest version of a space in its search space. Using this link will ensure that the latest version is linked.
The value self-space restricts the search to the local space, that is the space the the page with the macro is part of. This supports the use case where the template authors want to limit the search.
Link Render Control
Control how the link is rendered if the target document does not exist.
Valid values are:
- create-link
- Render a link to create a document (default)
- empty
- Render nothing
- plain-text
- Render the link label.
Abbreviation Mode
Renders the abbreviation or short name with the name as tooltip.
The following options are available:
Option | Description |
---|---|
none | Does not activate the abbreviation mode. The link uses the name to render the label and the document's short description as tooltip. |
name | Renders the abbreviation or short name as label and the document's name as tooltip. |
short-name | Renders the abbreviation or short name as label and the document's short name as tooltip. |
Since 4.6
The parameter is supported since version 4.6.
Blueprint
The complete key of the page blueprint.
A page blueprint key looks like this:
de.smartics.atlassian.confluence.smartics-projectdoc-confluence:projectdoc-blueprint-doctype-blank
This example refers to the Blank Document.
If omitted, the new page will be based on the empty page template.
Request Parameters
Request parameters allow to call a Remote Controlled Document (e.g. using the Display Table Macro).
The left side (value) of the parameter assignments will be URL encoded. The expected pattern is
id-x:name1=value A, value B&id-y:$<name2>=[some value]
Remote Controller
This macro passes the Remote Controls via HTTP request parameters. Other Remote Controllers do this via macro parameters set in the rendering context.
Request Toggle Label
In case the macro adds request parameters it is able to react to a request that contains these request parameters with matching values. In case the macro is called on a page with its request parameters it will render the provided label and will not add its request parameter. This effectively allows the macro to toggle between two states: one in which the macro applies the request parameters and uses its standard label and one in which the request parameters are not applied and the toggle label is used.
Request Toggle Tooltip
Set the tooltip for the link when in the toggled state. This tooltip is only shown withe the Dynamic Document Link Macro#Request Toggle Label.
If the toggle state for Remote Control is not in use, this parameter has no effect. To enforce this feature the Dynamic Document Link Macro#Request Parameters and the Dynamic Document Link Macro#Request Toggle Label must be specified. Whenever the macro recognizes that its request parameters are set, it enters the toggle state.
