Scroll button not working
Asked by Martin ?arovec:

Hi,

I am facing problem with scroll button. When I set scroll button to "Word export" everything is working fine.

But when I set it to "PDF export" nothing is happening.

I have set template for my space and edited space with scroll macros to achive nice export.

Have anyone faced similar problem? I do not want to rework it with clasic PDF export implemented in Confluence.

anyway thanks for replies :)

body: Which version of Scroll PDF Exporter are you running? The process of inserting the button differs between 4.x and 3.x.

comments: author: Martin ?arovec
body: I think I have the 3.x version I will try to describe the proces of inserting button. I dont know where I can search for Scroll version info. But from the documentation I can say it isnt the newest one.  

I add the "Scroll export button"  
Then I click on edit   
then I can see "Add on\* " option   
I choose one of the "Scroll Word exporter" or "Scroll PDF exporter"   

I have selected ID of template. When I choose the Word option everything is fine. PDF option is not working. no errors nor reports of what is wrong.

author: Bill Bailey
body: If you have the 3.x PDF Exporter, I do not think it is compatible with the button macro. There are separate instructions for an 3.x PDF exporter:

<https://help.k15t.com/legacy/scroll-pdf-exporter/how-can-i-insert-a-export-button-to-a-page-82511645.html>

The incompatibility makes sense as they change PDF engine, and the entire flow for the exporter when they moved to 4.x

If you need to allow anonymous users to access content in Confluence, you should give global access to them.  
Then give space-level permission control for other spaces, do not allowed anonymous users to access.

author: Xinyi Xu
body: Hi Yifei,

Are you asking about opening a blog space to anonymous users but restrict anonymous access to other contents of your site?

If that's the case, you can grant anonymous access in *Global Permissions* , then go to *Space Permissions*and open anonymous permission to that blog space, but restrict anonymous access to all other spaces.

Hope it answers your question.

Cheers,

Xinyi


author: nana56
body: A little explanation to the question

I think what you meant is to set up a separate blog space public but without any access to the confluence site, so people (anonymous) can browse your public blog content with blog theme but will not be able to visit the confluence site even though that doesn't have any non-public stuff shown to the visitors

Trying to clone a meeting template but unable to retain formatting
Asked by Gar Lee:

Two questions in detail:

1. I don't want to delete or change the global meeting template so I'd like to copy it. In the action items of the meeting agenda template, the checkboxes in the task list are highlighted in grey. However when I copy this to a new meeting template, it appears as ordinary checkboxes. Desired outcome:![Edit - 2019-07-12 Claire & Gar 1:1 - Customer Happiness Team 1:1s - Confluence 2019-07-24 19-24-45.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/61388i1E581419530AE8EC/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Edit - 2019-07-12 Claire & Gar 1:1 - Customer Happiness Team 1:1s - Confluence 2019-07-24 19-24-45.png")

2. When adding a create from template macro, I'd like to add the current user (name) of the creator in the title of the meeting notes. How do I do this?


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Gar,

Nice to see you again. Happy to help.

With question #1 - are you on Confluence Cloud? I'm testing this on my Confluence Cloud meeting notes template, but the action items are not grey, so I can't say for sure how to change the formatting for that. Is there any possibility that your meeting notes template has already been modified?

For question #2 - there's a feature request to be able to use variables in your template title

* [CONFCLOUD-37513](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-37513) *Use template variables in page title*

At this time it is not possible to automatically fill parts of the title using variables.

Let me know if you have any questions about that.

Regards,

Shannon

Confluence: Google Maps Integration

Answers:
author: Dee
body: Hi Holger,

Bad news mate, I just checked out both of those add ons, and it looks like you are right, neither will get the result you want.

Worse news is that the google maps add on is not officially supported so i don't see it getting updated or fixed.

I guess the last resort is to leave the link to the google map as a link in your page.

So sorry I didn't have a better solution for you.

Best regards,

How to call a Confluence Page via an External Application Request
Asked by jcorreaviana:

Hello!

I am studying Confluence Cloud as a tool for collaborative content generation and would like to know if there is any way to make a call to a Confluence page from a request from my app. The idea is for my app to call a token or something controlled to allow only anyone in my app to view page content through an Atlassian-registered token (API token, for example). Is this possible?

Regards,  
Jos? Corr?a.


Answers:
author: Dee
body: Hi Jos?, there is a REST API for Confluence Cloud. Example here:h //developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest-api-examples/

Is that what you are looking for?

comments: author: jcorreaviana
body: Hello Dee, thanks for your reply!

I have reviewed the API and my main question is how access to a Confluence page works. Here is a brief explanation of our scope:

"We are looking for a tool to document the functions of our application to the end user, where the call will be made from our web application. Authorization for the pages must be invisible to the user and we need to keep the access permission only when this call is made by the users who will keep the documentation updated or when any user (client) clicks the help icon, it will be redirected to a link in the Confluence."

It's this possible with Confluence Cloud + API?

Our web applications are written in .NET Core and I believe we will need to use OAuth to do this if possible.

I did a test with Basic Authorization, but I get a 403 return (because I need to be logged in to an Atlassian/Confluence account, I believe).

Regards!

Jos? Corr?a.


author: Dee
body: Hi Jos?,

You want to use Confluence Cloud sort of like a server that serves up your in-app help pages. Correct?

Unfortunately my knowledge of the cloud rest api is not comprehensive enough to answer that.. I'll ask around in the confluence cloud team to see if they have any clues..

Regards,

Dee


author: jcorreaviana
body: Thanks for the help, Dee.

We are in the process of validating of project scope, as they may exist public, Confluence already serves us perfectly.

How to order CalendarView entries?
Asked by Curtis Freudigmann:

I have a CalendarView which displays entries from a form. I am using a CSS Rule macro to color the entries on the calendar. I have 3 colors: Red, Blue, and Green.

Red is always shown for the entry if a particular checkbox is selected. I want these Red entries to always show at the top of their corresponding day on the calendar. Beyond that I want all Blue entries to go next with Green entries at the bottom.

I was able to get the Sorting field to work while using a TableView and I could also limit my Calendar entries using LIMIT.

Am I able to use the Sorting field in the CalendarView macro in such a way as I have described?

Edit: I know that the entries are being shown based on the time from the form entry. Do I have the ability to change this?

Thanks for any help!

Exporting to Excel or CSV
Asked by patrick tedesco:

I don't mean to be a pain....I'm not seeing an option on my confluence site to export to excel or CSV? can you send me instructions.


Answers:
author: Dee
body: Hi Patrick,

Are you using Confluence cloud or Server?

There is an option to download the Atlassian companion app and work on Excel sheets from the preview of the xls file.. is that what you want to do?


author: Marianne Miller
body: Usually the export to Excel (or CSV, etc) goes straight to a download file in your default download location. it does not initiate the Excel exe.

You will have to open excel, the File \| Open the file that was downloaded to your computer.

Be congnizant of what you are exporting - fields in view downloads the query results you see on screen. Download all fields downloads every possible field on the form and may be difficult to manage.

I tend to follow up with some general cleanup (delete top and bottom rows, delete the column with images, etc) just to allow excel to do it's magic (sorting, filtering, etc)

How do we remove G Suite as our authentication but keep all 300+ users mapped to their previous ones
Asked by David Minch:

We currently have G Suite setup as our authentication but want to remove it. Our testing indicates that once we do, users will have to be re-invited to the application and we will lose our mapping of new users to old issues etc.

Is there anyway to remove G Suite and switch to Atlasssian authentication without losing the mapping? I have researched this thoroughly and cannot find a definitive answer on it.


Answers:
author: Claudiu Lionte
body: Hi David,

It is true that if you remove the G Suite integration you will *lose* the synchronization of users. However, the existing users will not be lost. Please see the *how to disconnect* section of this documentation article:

\* <https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/enable-or-disable-g-suite-integration-873918510.html>

The mapping of users to issues (fields like *reporter, assignee* etc.) is done per *Atlassian Account ID.*The Atlassian Account ID is a string of characters that is unique per user and is mapped to the email address.

Basically, if your users have the same email address after the disconnection, they will have the same Atlassian Account ID and everything will remain mapped.

How to search confluence page and document in confluence from Jira
Asked by Kory Schnellback:

I need to search confluence page and content inside document in Confluence page from Jira.

Is there a way to do it or do we have any add-on ?


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Kory,

From my understanding, you want to search within your Confluence instance from Jira. Is that correct?

In order to search within Confluence from Jira, you will need to have [Jira Service Desk](https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/jira-service-desk-integration) which includes integration for Confluence. With this, you can have Jira customer accounts and give your users access to a specific space within Confluence, including the ability to search for documents within Confluence.

Let us know if you have any questions about that.

Why can't I access Analytics?

Hello Community,

I am trying to go into Confluence and under the settings options, I scroll down to the bottom to click on "Analytics". I am then greeted with an access denied page saying I should contact my Cloud Administrator.

I am a top level Site Administrator, so I am a little confused who I am supposed to be asking about this. The URL specifically that is blocked is listed below.   

Is this a paid for plugin or something else? Am I just missing something? Was this a weird glitch?

Analytics at the URL you've noted are [part of our Cloud Premium offering](https://www.atlassian.com/premium), which is currently in early access. We're still getting all the pieces in place for this - eventually I imagine that you'll see a more informative screen letting you know what Analytics provides you with and lets you know more about Cloud Premium.

You can [take a look at the rest of the features](https://www.atlassian.com/premium) for Cloud Premium and sign up for the early access program if you're interested.

A few questions about linking to headings
Asked by Hanna Wiggman:

Hi!

I have created a portfolio, in my Confluence space, with many subpages for different items. Every subpage has the same structure and table of content. I want to connect the headings or the pages in a manner so that if someone adds a heading on one subpage, I want that to automatically appear on all the other subpages. Is that possible? Same regards tables within the subpages.

If not, is it possible to create a template that all the subpages are created from, and if the template is updated so are the subpages.

Kind regards,

Hanna


Answers:
author: Josh_Kochelek__Modus_Create
body: Hey [@Hanna Wiggman](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3504866) . You can certainly make templates (and blueprints), but Confluence doesn't really operate on 'master pages' that will update existing pages. To my knowledge, you'll have to update each page manually with the additional sections and headings.

CONF: how to search for content where a specific attachment (by id) is used?
Asked by Stefan Baader:

I want to check via REST API if an attachment is used in other pages.

/rest/api/search?cql=siteSearch\~'Hydrangeas.jpg' \& includeArchivedSpaces=true \& type IN (blogpost, page)

works for the file name "Hydrangeas.jpg" of the attachment. But that file name might be another attachment with the identical name on another page.

But regarding the "data-image-src" attribute of an embedded image (f.e. "/context/download/attachments/104956981/Hydrangeas.jpg?version=1\&modificationDate=1563972519812\&api=v2") I can't use this.

F.e. this will not work:

[https://\<removed\>/rest/api/search?cql=siteSearch\~104956981\&includeArchivedSpaces=true\&type]() IN (blogpost, page)


Answers:
author: Stephen Sifers
body: Hello Stefan,

I've reviewed your notes and followed the steps you took along with completing a GET call on a page to get attachments. What I found was the file is always referred to as the filename of the attachment per the parent page it's attached to. The ID you refer to seems to be the parent page the attachment is associated with. With this said, you'll need to use the filename and the parent page to locate a file to avoid any attachments with similar names.

If I've missed something within your steps, please do let me know and I'll recheck. I would be interested to know where you're getting the ID to search for the attachment from.

Regards,  
Stephen Sifers
