Documentation for [Confluence Cloud] and the latest Confluence Server is available too.

This page tells you how to link to a news item. You can also read about including blog posts on your page.

You need to edit in 'Wiki Markup' mode to create a link to a news item.

 To link to a news item,

(info) You need to know the title of the news item as well as the date on which it was created.

  1. Convert the date into the format: year/month/day.

  2. 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\]

    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]

my blog

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]

my blog

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]

my blog

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,

(info) 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..
