Rest API - how to insert children display micro while creation of page
Asked by Sukhjinder Bhullar:

Hello,

I am using confluence rest api and python module requests to create multiple pages in confluence.

I will have parent and child hierarchy of pages. I want to insert children display macro at parent page using rest api call.

code sample:

invpagebodyhtml = "\<p\>\<b\>This page is published by automation tool.\</b\>\</p\>"  
create_page = json.dumps( { "type": "page", "title": "testing-notification", "space": {"key": "TEST"}, "ancestors": \[{"id": 1234567}\], "status": "current", "body": {"storage": {"value": invpagebodyhtml, "representation": "storage",}}, })

response = requests.request( "POST", URL, data=create_page, headers=headers,)

any help on how to include that macro here?

Thanks

Sukh

author: Matt Merrill
body: I had to trial and error this, but I just figured out how to do this, this is an example for the 'all'/descendants property:

```
<p><ac:structured-macro ac:name=\"children\" ac:schema-version=\"1\"><ac:parameter ac:name=\"all\">true</ac:parameter></ac:structured-macro></p>
```

It took me forever to find the docs: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf59/children-display-macro-792499081.html>

Dark mode with compatible browser extension
Asked by Panos Kouvelis:

Hey, I just checked all dark mode Chrome extensions and found out that the most compatible that seems to have no artifacts in my configuration is the Dark Reader.

I though I'd share with the community.

Here is the extension: <https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/dark-reader/eimadpbcbfnmbkopoojfekhnkhdbieeh?hl=en>

I tested 5 different extensions in Chrome with the cloud instances of:

Jira

Confluence

Portfolio

I did it while working so I did all regular things, commit knowledge to Confluence, create and manage things in Jira, with releases, dialog boxes, etc, and also some basic work in Portfolio.

Let me know if you have any new findings, or you have anything better to recommend.

Cheers!


Answers:
author: selleos
body: I found something a little more compatible and doesn't make Confluence look weird.

Open a new tab and type: Chrome://flags

Then search dark mode, then enable. Restart browser

Everything is now in dark mode. Even Google Calendar!

Hi Jovan

i hope that you have a test environment available to test the upgrade procedure itself.

The most important thing before you start the upgrade is to have backups of your filesystems and the database used by confluence.

Afterwards i would check on the installed apps, if they need to get updated or if there are any incompatible ones that should get deactivated.

The upgrade itself is best done by using the installer.

If you had any changes to your configuration (e.g. ssl config of the tomcat connector, you might need to redo these changes after the installation)

All the best

Kurt

Email managers every day about tickets in Jira
Asked by Eddie Razmos:

We have a requirement that a manager should receive emails about all the tickets that their team worked on in the past week. I know that we can create a dashboard and that would resolve the issue but the issue that we have here is the manager is just interested in a email daily.

Is that possible in Jira?

body: Hi [@Eddie Razmos](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2131708) Yes that can definetely be done in Jira using subscriptions option.

Below is a step by step description on how that can be done in Jira

1) Create a Query:

project = XXX AND issuetype in (Story,Bug) AND created \>= -1w

2). Save this filter Query.

3). Go to Details and click on New Subscription

How to display a Sharepoint Online List as a table in confluence that automatically updates?
Asked by jaspan:

I currently have a Sharepoint Online list that I would like to display on our Confluence pages. I have tried to use the Sharepoint Connector, however, the add-in only displays 10 lines. The add-in's search function is also not very functional. I outlined this in [another question](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/How-to-view-search-more-than-10-rows-for-Sharepoint-List-Macro/qaq-p/1312728), but since I was unable to receive any responses to that I was hoping to look for suggestions on how this could be achieved?


Answers:
author: David Toussaint _Communardo_
body: Hi Jaspan,

Sorry, this question slipped through our monitoring. Currently the Macro is limited to 10 entries per page and then you get a pagination to see more results. At the moment there is no option to allow more here. We might add that feature in the future. Do you use Confluence Cloud or Server/Data Center?

Again, sorry for the late reply.

Maximum HTTP thread size is not configured
Asked by JiraYo:

Hey so i just upgraded confluence to 7.3.2 and i get the following error:

**tomcat: your maximum http thread size is not configured. The recommended minimum size is 48.**

**![2020-03-03_08h03_50.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/85152iCBE7A7C411225964/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "2020-03-03_08h03_50.png")**

Everything seems to be working fine though.

I went to the resulting learn more link here: [https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/startup-check-http-maxthreads-configuration-939930122.html?utm_source=Install\&utm_medium=in-product\&utm_campaign=csseng_fy18_q3_server_confluence_errorstate](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/startup-check-http-maxthreads-configuration-939930122.html?utm_source=Install&utm_medium=in-product&utm_campaign=csseng_fy18_q3_server_confluence_errorstate)

however i dont have any parameter called "maxthreads" in my server.xml. I am doing a custom string for SSL, so maybe that is why? if so, the document does not say where to put this, just somewhere in server.xml but well i am sure it needs to be somewhere specific. Is it on the "connector" area? or the "engine name" area? or what. Not very good documentation.

Its possible this existed in STOCK configuration, which i would have wiped out when i re implemented my SSL stuff which i have to do every upgrade.

i am using SQL server.

My current connector is this, do i put it in there?

```
<Connector port="443" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25"
protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol"
enableLookups="false" disableUploadTimeout="true"
acceptCount="100" scheme="https" secure="true"
clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLSv1.2" sslEnabledProtocols="TLSv1.2" SSLEnabled="true"
URIEncoding="UTF-8" keystorePass="PASSWORD" keystoreFile="C:\Program Files\Atlassian\confluence\confluence.jks" connectionTimeout="20000" keyAlias="*.DOMAIN.CA" keystoreType="JKS"/> 
```

if anyone knows that would be great, thanks.

embedded H2 database - how can i deactivate read-only mode ?
Asked by Dom:

Hello,  
I have a problem with the embedded H2 database of Confluence.  
I follow this [link](https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf64/restore-passwords-to-recover-admin-user-rights-936511358.html) to create a local admin user for Confluence(at the moment we are using Conflunce 5.9.7. ), but I can't execute the Insert SQL because of the error "SQL-Error \[90097\] - The database is read only".  
I've already looked and supposedly "ACCESS_MODE_DATA=rws" at the end of the JDBC URL should help. Unfortunately it does not help.

We tried the H2 console from the installation directory and DBeaver 7.

Does anyone know how I can get the database into write mode?


Answers:
author: Lion Gutjahr
body: I'm a little late to the party but in case anyone stumbles upon this, one reason might be the database file itself; either its read only flag is set or the system user executing the console doesn't have write permissions for it.

I would like to do a simple relational database within confluence

author: Rick Hadley
body: I would have thought there was already a plugin to do this as I can see it being really useful. Actually surprising there isn't more interest in this request. Any plans to offer this functionality in the future?

I'd love to have a number of tables defined in one section that contain all my data but be able to reference it in other sections. Ideally, populate a summary view of all customers as well as a detailed customer page, populated from the same source data.


author: Andrew Davis
body: I too would like something similar, whereby a table rows is essentially a record, and certain columns can be related to other tables.

Essentially, I'm after the behaviour provided by [Coda.io](https://coda.io/) and [Airtable](https://airtable.com/).

comments: author: Max Foerster - K15t
body: Hey [@Andrew Davis](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4036139)

I was researching relational databases in the community and came across your post. So let me raise this thread from the dead to suggest a solution to you, [@Rick Hadley](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4295993) and [@Jimmy Psillos](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1166440)

Because you mentioned Airtable, I want to suggest having a look at our app, **[Orderly Databases](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1227131/orderly-databases-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview)** . We designed this app with tools [Airtable](https://airtable.com/) and [Notion](https://notion.so/) in mind and because we were lacking a way to structure and organize content in Confluence using relational databases. Now you can create and link lightweight databases that always stay in sync and also offer multiple ways of displaying, filtering, and sorting data. ?

If you're curious, I recommend reading our community article about Orderly to get a first impression: [Replace Confluence Page Properties with Notion-like Databases ?](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Marketplace-Apps-Integrations/Announcing-Orderly-Replace-Confluence-Page-Properties-with/ba-p/1915196)

I hope that I was able to help you, guys! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me. :)

Best, Max

P.S. [@Ted Strauss](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3824624)

you never updated your response. So I guess you had a hard time solving this? ?

Welcome to Atlassian Community. It's nice to meet you!

It could be some connection issue that is causing this problem for you. Do you have the same problem on multiple computers? What browsers are you able to replicate this in?

You can also try clearing your browser cache and see if that helps the problem.

If not, I would recommend [contacting Support](https://support.atlassian.com/contact) and they can help you determine the reason for this issue.
