Hits and Tips

Adding a link manually:

Topics are just child pages of the root forum page, so if you want to build a link to add a child page manually without the macro this is what you need to do:

<confluence url>/pages/createpage.action?spaceKey=<space key>&fromPageId=<forum root>

Where:

• <confluence url> is the base URL of your confluence installalation
• <space key> is the space key for the space where the forum us located
• <forum root> is the page ID (not title) of the forum page to which the topic pages are attached

Listing restricted pages

The add-topic macro can automatically restrict the edit permissions to the person who creates a topic, meaning that only that person and people with sufficient administration privileges can edit or delete the topic.

To see a list of all restricted pages, go in to Space Administration and under the "Security" section there is a "Restricted Pages" link that will list the pages and allow you to remove the restrictions from them if desired.
