Add companion macro for additional functionality
Issue #7
wontfix
It would be nice if this was also a macro that I could implement on a page. In this case, I'd like to add it to my users' dashboards.

I think there are definitely a lot of interesting way yous could take this, but my request is (hopefully) pretty straight forward.
Instead of using the traditional Confluence "dashboard" as a homepage, my team is going to use a Confluence page as a pseudo dashboard / homepage (example). On that homepage, I'd like to add a macro that would render your product in a panel and display the current user's favorite content. It would be nice if there were also settings to enable/disable the search box. I don't think I would want the search box in the macro, but it totally makes sense in the g+f implementation.

Hey @mparfianowicz -- does that make sense?

Hi Gary, sorry for my late reply, I missed notifications about your comments.
I don't know if you noticed, but Confluence 5.9 came with a redesigned dashboard (https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Confluence+5.9+Release+Notes) which contains the "Favourites" link on the sidebar. It opens a page with list of favourite pages.
I also found a 'Favourite Pages' macro bundled in Confluence (https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONF59/Favourite+Pages+Macro).
Does it meet your needs?

I'm closing this issue as resolved as the https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONF59/Favourite+Pages+Macro is available.
Feel free to reopen it if you disagree.

No it doesn't. I'm not interested in the default confounds dashboard.

Hi Gary, thanks for your proposal. Could you provide more details, please? I'm interested in possible use cases and the context of usage. For instance: - what users could gain if such macro is added to a page? (instead of being available on all pages as a system add-on) - what such macro should do exactly? add the 'g+f' shortcut to a currently displayed page? something else? - should such macro be context-aware somehow, for instance prioritize list of favorites depending on the page/site macro is attached to? - ... etc ...
