Page withing a page in confluence
Asked by sn:

hi,

we use Confluence 5.10 server. im trying to see if i can have a "how-to" article page template on a section of a blank page.

is this possible. if so, how?

thanks!


Answers:
author: AnnWorley
body: There is a How to page template bundled with Confluence, if you create a new page based on the template and just leave the default values it would be on a blank page.

Please let us know more about your use case, what would the users do on the page you are building?

comments: author: sn
body: thanks ann.

here is my use case. we are trying to categorize our spaces.

* we have teams
* we have support documentations from these different teams( which are useful to all users across company)
* we have application documents specific to teams

we are trying to design our spaces to make easy for search. we want to group all support documents together but then we should be able to subdidvide by specific teams support documents.

what would you suggest?

Team Calendar ORA-01427 Error
Asked by Jason Brady:

Freshly installed Confluence with Team Calendars but every time I try to create a calendar I geta ConnectionCallback: bad SQL grammar \[\]; nested exception is java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01427: single-row subquery returns more than one row, error. What am I missing, any one else experince this issue?


Answers:
author: AnnWorley
body: I understand your Oracle database is returning a ORA-01427 error when you try to create a Team Calendar. Since it is a new installation it is hard to believe that there is a duplicate value in the database as described in this [article](https://www.techonthenet.com/oracle/errors/ora01427.php). I suspect that the database was not set up exactly as recommended in [Database Setup for Oracle](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/database-setup-for-oracle-173821.html#DatabaseSetupforOracle-Step3.SetupyourOracleuserwithschema-creationprivileges). We have run into issues in the past when Oracle users have the ability to see tables in multiple schemas.

Since it is a new installation, please consider reinstalling if the issue persists.

comments: author: Jason Brady
body: Thank you for the response. I have uninstalled and reinstall multiple times. I have also double checked my database to make sure it matches the setup described in the documentation. I still received the same ORA-01427 when attempting to use team calendars. Everything else in confluence is functions properly.

Is it possible to modify the form for a calendar event?
Asked by Scott Duffey:

I am trying to create a custom form so that calendar entries can be completed with pre-defined definitions around the activities to drive timeline reporting by selected options. Is there any way to achieve this in a confluence calendar?

I don't believe this is possible. You may want to create a new feature request. Here is a link: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/support/implementation-of-new-features-policy-201294576.html>

Can I use blueprints to create multiple sets of the same pages in a space?
Asked by Cormac West:

Within a Confluence space I am using pages to organise different projects.

I want each project to have the same structure:

Page  
- Childpage  
- Childpage  
- - Grandchild page  
- Childpage

For each of the above I have a template created.

At the moment each time I want to create a set of pages for a project I must go through the process of creating each page one by one from a template.

Can I create a blueprint for this set of pages so that I might click once and then have all the pages there? If so how would I do that? Also is it possible to create a 'wizard' (or 'step by step workflow' as the kids call them these days) to help with putting some things on those pages/giving them the correct names?

Thanks in advance


Answers:
author: Cormac West
body: Additional info: We use cloud.


author: Thomas Schlegel
body: Ah, I see. Sorry, that I misunderstood your question.

I don't know of a page-tree-template-functionality in Confluence.

There's a plugin for that:

<https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/eps.focuspro.PageTreeCreator/server/overview>

but it is not for free and I did not test it. So I don't know if this will suit your needs.

If you have Confluence 6 (server version, not cloud), you can create a set of template pages in a template space (only visible for admins) and then copy this page tree every time to your new spaces when you need them. This functionality is not available for Cloud, I don't know why, but here is the ticket for this feature: <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-2814>

Maybe you want to vote for that


author: Cormac West
body: Hi - Thanks, but this isnt what I've asked.

I'm specifically looking to have a blueprint for a number of pages within a space. Not an entire space.


author: Thomas Schlegel
body: Hi Cormac,

you can create your own space blueprint. Here's a tutorial for that:

How to import HTML pages onto Confluence
Asked by Jandre De La Rey:

Hi,

I have HTML pages that was extracted from another Confluance to HTML format. How do I go about to import this data onto our Confluance ?

The data (HTML) pages are currenlt in a zip file and we would like to import this data onto Confluence as a new page. Hope someone has done this before?

Kind regards


Answers:
author: AnnWorley
body: The best strategy would be to export the pages again, but to XML rather than HTML. XML backups can be restored in the Admin console under **Backup and Restore.** Please see [Import Content Into Confluence](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Import+Content+Into+Confluence)

Other than the text import under Space Tools, there is no mechanism within Confluence to import the HTML pages; you could use the [HTML Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/HTML+Macro) to display it, however, or put the HTML in a directory and try the [Import a Text File](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Import+a+Text+File) method.

comments: author: Jandre De La Rey
body: Hi Ann,

Thank you for the above. We saw that we dont have the Backup and restore option under administator and I think its due to the fact that we run the cloud platform. Seems like I will have to look into this a bit furter to see how we can import this data.

We will try to see if we can get the HTML Macro.

Kind regards

comments: author: Sven
body: But in the newest version of confluence it is only possible to set a space homepage as the global dashboard and not a specific (sub)-page of a space? Or did I miss something?

Thanks,


author: AnnWorley
body: You don't seem to be missing anything. That is also my understanding from [Configuring the Site Home Page](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/configuring-the-site-home-page-138140.html). You have the option of creating a space just to use the home page as a landing page if you like.

Add Labels to table
Asked by christoph:

I have a table with different types of documents. These documents I would like to assign different themes. It is possible to display matching labels within this table.

thanks for helping


Answers:
author: Andrew_McCollum
body: I have a master table and I would like to tag (label) rows of the table. I would then like to be able to use a table on other pages to render those rows with that specific label.

So, Master Table:

**Name\|Type\|Description\|Label**

Dog\|K9\|Mans best friend\|Dog

Cat\|Feline\|Satans child\|Cat

Then on Dog page:

**Name\|Type\|Description\|Label**

Dog\|K9\|Mans best friend\|Dog

Then on Cat page:

**Name\|Type\|Description\|Label**

Cat\|Feline\|Satans child\|Cat

I basically would like to be able to update the master table ONCE and then have other pages that have tables with labels associated with the rows from that to dynamically change.

Is this possible?

comments: author: Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}
body: Hi [@Andrew_McCollum](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3731488) ,

You can easily do it with the help of the [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview&from=documentation) app.

To clone your Master table on the Cat/Dog pages use the [Table Excerpt and Table Excerpt Include macros](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Excerpt+and+Table+Excerpt+Include+macros). To display filtered (reduced) amount of information on the Cat/Dog pages use the [Table Filter macro](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Filter+macro).

So, you'll need to make changes only in your Master table and other tables will be updated automatically.

Is there a way to get rid of the ancestorIds in Confluence search?
Asked by NM:

I get ancestorIds in my search results. Is there a way to avoid that, please? User compain that it is confusing.


Answers:
author: Stephen Deutsch
body: I would assume this is happening because you have the documentation theme activated and users are searching via the search bar in the left side of the screen which limits the search to the current space. That is why the ancestorIds search term appears: it's limiting the search to all descendants of the space homepage. The best option is to remove the search bar from the left sidebar or to switch to the default theme (depending on which version of Confluence you are running).

comments: author: NM
body: We are using Confluence 6.0.7 and the default theme.

Yes, it happend with the search bar on the left sidebar.

We need to have space-vise search enabled for users so any fix to get this ID removed will be great.

How can i add space owner name information on a page
Asked by rahul Sg:

We have multiple spaces, we want to display space owner name on the each page created.

Can you advice how can it be done?


Answers:
author: Davin Studer
body: There really is nothing in Confluence to define a space owner. If you want to set up something like this it will be a bit of a manual job. I would go to Space tools -\> Look and Feel -\>Layout.

![Capture1.PNG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1832i15D19D7010F7F953/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Capture1.PNG")

Edit the Page Layout decorator to put the space owner somewhere on the page. This will have it show up on every page in the space. You can makes these changes different per space.![Capture2.PNG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1833i92379E14C25B6C14/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Capture2.PNG")


author: Michelle Rau HP
body: Two other possibilities,

1) Create a new user group (for example, new group name is "Owner" so the new group's name displays as "Spacename-Owner"

2) Put the space owner in the new group

3) Use the User List macro on a page to display the members in "Spacename-Owner" group.

This should display a gray bar with "Group: Spacename-Owner" in it, followed by a list with the name of the owner in it.

Second option,

Use the User Profile macro on a page and specify the space owner.

This should display the user's name and email, picture, phone, position, department and location if they are filled out in the user's Confluence profile.
REST access to Confluence Whitelist?
Asked by Bryan Brinson:

Is there a RESTful way to access the whitelist feature in Confluence Server (not Cloud)? We have an authorization workflow in our helpdesk system and I'd like to post the approved URL to the Whitelist rather than grant another set of administrators access to Confluence to update it.

I can also see in our development instance there is a WHITELIST_RULES table in the database with three, very simple values. I can insert it here, but there seems to be some cacheing in the middle tier and the changes seem to take some time show up in the Whitelist screen. Once there, they work, but the timing is unpredectable.

Any help would be appreciated!

Cheers!  
Bryan

Can I copy from Word with images directly into Confluence ?
Asked by Peter Felice:

There does not seem to be a consesnus on this. I Run Mac OS 10.12.5 and When I copy and past it picks up the text but not the impages. I can import the document but then it is a word document in confluence. Client wants content in confluence. Can anybody help with this ?


Answers:
author: Thomas Schlegel
body: Hi Peter,

if you import the document, it is no word document in Confluence, you generate Confluence pages from the content of the word document.

Or did I understood you wrong?

Email address not returned while using Confluence 6.1.2 REST API for users.

What are the expand options for a user?


Answers:

comments: author: Arjun Shukla
body: Thanks for the quick response Stephen.

Are you sure this is available in version 6.1.2?  
I ask because the expand options didn't work, and when I look at the lastest confluence REST reference <https://docs.atlassian.com/atlassian-confluence/REST/latest/#user-getUser> , the response object clearly has a "_expandable" key. I'm not seeing any "_expandable" key returned in response from our 6.1.2 setup.

We updated to 6.2.1 today but that produced the same result. There is no "_expandable" key in my JSON response object, nor does the expand parameter have any impact.

Confluence Import failed: End of ZLIB

The bug is intermittent but we could be running into something similar.
