This macro creates a link to a specific Confluence feature or page relative to the current location in the wiki.
Each link destination abides by all applicable permissions - should the user not have sufficient permission to use the link, or simply be in a location where the link is not applicable, the body of the macro is returned un-linked (which is then usually hidden by the menuitem macro).
Requirements
This macro requires Theme Builder 2.0 or above.
If you are using Theme Builder 3.0 or above, please consider using the compound-menuitem macro instead - it combines all the features of the menuitem macro, menuicon macro and this menulink macro in to a single macro which results in more concise wiki markup and significantly faster performance.
Usage
To display a text link use the following syntax:
{menulink:destination}Link Text{menulink}
To display link inside a menu (see menubar macro), use the following syntax:
{menubar:id=example}
{menuitem}{menulink:destination}Link Text{menulink}{menuitem}
{menubar}
Parameters
Please see Links - Quick Reference.
Caption Fields
Some link locations provide fields for captions which get automatically replaced when the links are displayed based on the state of the link location.
For example, the %page% field will be replaced with either "page" or "news" depending on whether you're looking at a page or a blog post.
| Field | Link Destinations | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| %page% | information, edit, remove, favourite, favouritespace, watch, watchspace, watchpage | Displays either "page", "news" or "space" as applicable to the content you are currently viewing. |
| %count% | spaceattachments, children, comments, pageattachments, viewattachments | Displays the number of attachments, children or comments as applicable to the link location. |
| %user% | profile, userspace | Displays the users full name. |
| %space%, %Space% | activity | Displays "space" or "site" - the %Space% field capitalises the first letter, eg. "Space" or "Site". |
| %add% | favourite, favouritespace, watch, watchspace, watchpage | Displays "Add" or "Remove" depending on whether the content is in your favourites or watched. |
| %watching%, %watch% | watch, watchspace, watchpage | Displays "Watching" or "Watch" (%watching%), "Watch" or "Unwatch" (%watch) depending on whether you are watching the content. |
Link Destinations
The following link destinations can be used in the menulink macro and also the compound-menuitem macro.
The Ver column denotes which version of Theme Builder is required.

Hints and Tips
You can create keyboard shortcuts by adding empty menulinks to a panel in builder (eg. title or footnotes panel, etc), for example:
{menulink:edit|tooltip=Edit this content|accesskey=e}{menulink}
This would add the keyboard shortcut "Alt+E" to all screens that can be edited (eg. blogposts, pages, etc). The shortcut would only be available if the current user has sufficient privileges to edit the page, etc.

1. Currently, I am using the "recent" parameter with the menulink macro and it only shows Recently Updated List for the space. I was wondering how I could use the menulink macro with something similar to the "recent" parameter to point to Recently Updated List for ALL Spaces rather than just the space itself.
2. Also I would like the "What's New" link to appear on the Menu on the DASHBOARD too rather than just the individual space. At the moment, when I click on About Us link, I get to the space and I can see the "What's New" link on the menu. But when I click Dashboard, What's New link is missing from the menu.

We created a custom page Tools menu using compound-menuitem. We used "pageattachments", expecting "Attachments (%count%)" to appear in the menu for all page viewers.
However, it seems like there is permission logic associated with "pageattachments". Users who do not have attachment-add permission on the page were not able to see this menu item at all. This didn't seem appropriate. They should be able to see the list of attachments, just not be offered the ability to add files.
By chance, we replaced "pageattachments" with "viewattachments", and it worked how we wanted. But I don't see documentation for "viewattachments". That was an important distinction for us: the visibility of the "pageattachments" item is connected to attachment permissions, while the "viewattachments" is not.
We're not on the very latest versions (we have Confluence 3.4.9 & Builder 4.2.2), but just wanted to let others know. Happy to log an issue, if that's helpful.

The permissions checks were setup in this way to make it easier for developers of more 'web' type layouts to hide the attachments link from those who 'shouldnt' need access. The viewattachments link was added to help people developing more 'wiki' type layouts.
