    The default for size is large, not small.

    I'd like to know how you put text next to this icon that will disappear when the user does not have space creation privs.  The Dashboard does this somehow.  How do I look at the wiki source for the dashboard?

      Hi Todd,

      Thanks for letting us know the mistake, I have corrected it. I have actually created a user macro that does exactly what the create space button does in the Dashboard. In order to create a new user macro:

      1. Go to Dashboard > Administration > User Macros
      2. Click Create a User Macro.
      3. Name your user macro anything that you want. eg: createspace
      4. Untick "Macro has a body"
      5. Change Output to "Macro generates HTML markup"
      6. In the Template, copy and paste the following:
      7. Once you are done with that, you can simply use this macro anywhere in your page by specifying the following in your wiki markup:

      Feel free to change the code. Hope this helps.

      Cheers
