Scroll Versions: Version picker

[resah]

Hi,

I configured Scroll Versions 3.0.8 with a private master space. I am publishing each version in a new space.

I would like to

1. Show a message and a link to the current version, if a user opens a page of an old version.
2. Display a version picker for all users to switch the page version (like in https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/page-properties-macro-184550024.html)

How can this be done?

Regards

Theresa

Hi Theresa,

This template recipe should help: https://help.k15t.com/scroll-viewport/developer-s-guide/template-recipes/switch-between-published-spaces-by-scroll-versions

This recipe represents the same approach Atlassian uses in their documentation. Are you using WebHelp theme (the one that comes with the recent releases of Viewport) as a base for your custom template?

Cheers,

Roman.

P.S. We have a Google Group for such questions: Viewport Google Group. If you ask your template-related questions there, we have a better chance to notice them rather than in Atlassian Answers.

Hi Roman,

thanks. Unfortunately I don't have the Viewport plugin. Would something like this be possible without it?

Hi Theresa,

It is not easily possible without Scroll Viewport. Since you are publishing one version at a time to a different space, the content of only one version is published. You would have to hard-code links to each of those spaces in the theme of each space. It would be very hacky and hard-to-maintain solution.

Cheers,

Roman.
