You need to edit in 'Wiki Markup' mode to create a link to a news item.
To link to a news item,
You need to know the title of the news item 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 news item, like this:
What you need to type What you will get [/2007/06/25/Sample News\] /2007/06/25/Sample News
Where:
'/2005/08/26' is the date the news item was published.
'Sample News' is the title of the news item.
Example of Use
I've created a test blog/news that you can test to link to.
You have three options:
1. Directly providing the URL - absolute path
[http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/TEST/2007/05/15/Test+Link+News]
http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/TEST/2007/05/15/Test+Link+News
2. Using the alias as well
[my blog|http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/TEST/2007/05/15/Test+Link+News]
3. Using the relative path on the same server
Note: the entire path to the news item has to be provided to access it
[my blog|TEST:2007/05/15/Test Link News]
You can also link to a whole day's news items, just by leaving out the news item's title at the end of the link.
[my blog|TEST:2007/05/15]
| Note Linking to a news item that has not been created yet will not result in a link; news items are very tightly bound to the time at which they were created, and thus it makes no sense to link to them before they exist. |
To link to a list of news items within a given space,
You need to know the key of the space.
| What you need to type | What you will get |
|---|---|
| [news|http://myConfluenceURL/pages/viewrecentblogposts.action?key=ABC] | news |
Where:
'myConfluenceURL' is the URL address of your Confluence system, e.g. 'confluence.mycompany.com'.
'ABC' is the key of the relevant space..
