Confluence Docs 3.1 : Editing the Site Welcome Message
This page last changed on Sep 16, 2009 by mhodges.
The site welcome message appears on the Dashboard. It can be used to provide users with an introduction to the site, or as a "message of the day". To edit the site welcome message,
How we use it at AtlassianAtlassian makes great use of the welcome message feature on our internal Confluence wiki. You can see it here: The welcome message itself is just an include macro: {include:STAFF:Extranet Homepage} The include macro allows an entire page to be shown in line. This particular page lives in the STAFF space, where anyone can edit it. We usually have some amusing picture, or company-wide notice showing on it. The featured photo generally changes each week – you can see the current (29 June 2009) homepage to the right. The page itself has over 600 edits by many different people. The page also includes an edit link, for quick access to change the welcome message. Our homepage wiki markup looks something like this: !Clover Dukey.jpg|width=200! {nodisplay} This is the content that goes on the Extranet homepage, above the spaces list. NOTE: KEEP YOUR PICTURES SMALL (<80KB) -- USE JPG FOR PICTURES, WIDTH 400 {nodisplay} h4. Experimental blogroll: All posts labelled "extranet-dashboard" {blog-posts:content=titles|labels=extranet-dashboard|spaces=@all|max=10} If you want to promote a good post to stand out from the eac white noise, just add the label *extranet-dashboard*. To avoid inflation please use the label carefully. {float-right} ([edit me|http://extranet.atlassian.com/pages/editpage.action?pageId=603422736]) {float-right} |
