Connection search in confluence (cloud) with Google Site search (Cloud)
Asked by Alena Shyshkina:

Dear all,

I'm desperately trying to find an add-on or tool which can help me to connect search in confluence Wiki Page (Cloud) with search in Google Site.

We created an HR landing page with some internal information in Google Site. However, we want to keep also our Confluence HR Wiki page and want to connect the context. It means if people are looking something in Confluence page via Search box are also able to find links in HR Landing page in Gsite.

I will appreciate any ideas, feedback how we can make it happens.

Best,

Alena

Currently, using Lucene to index external sites is available only for Confluence in our Server platform (Self-hosted Confluence).

The functionalities from Confluence Cloud and Confluence Server are different. You can check more differences here:
> * ++***[\[Atlassian Cloud Support\] Compare Atlassian cloud vs server](https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/compare-atlassian-cloud-vs-server-744721664.html)***++
> * ++***[\[Confluence Support\] Functional differences in Confluence Cloud](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/restricted-functions-in-confluence-cloud-734070955.html)***++

I was also unable to find a third-party solution for this in our Marketplace.

If you are interested in looking at our Self-hosted solution to this, you can check these documents:
> * ++***[\[Confluence Server\] Setting Up Confluence to Index External Sites](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/setting-up-confluence-to-index-external-sites-190077.html)***++

If the search page of your Google Site has its own URL, you could try to include inside a Confluence page via iFrame. Just keep in mind that this will not "merge" the search results from Confluence and Google Site. Here is our document on iFrame:
> * ++***[\[Confluence Cloud\] Insert the iFrame macro](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-iframe-macro/)***++

I hope this helps! Looking forward to your reply.

Creator isn't the same person as the modifier of version 1
Asked by Dominic Lagger:

Hey all,

I've a question

How is it possible, that a page (**1 version**) in confluence is created by "Roger" and edited by "Dominic". If someone changes a page, I thought, there will be a new version created?

Fun Fact: In Nov 18, 2019, I was in Holidays... this is really strange...

![image.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/96201i04D8DC10E24731E9/image-dimensions/530x307?v=v2 "image.png")

Database looks like this (Different Creator and LastModifier):

![image.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/96202i412F6638D03E6B71/image-dimensions/551x31?v=v2 "image.png")

Thanks for any ideas

Regards, Dominic

author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: My guess would be that user-ending-0019 clicked "create", and put some data in, but did not save it. Later, user-ending-0005 collaborated on it, and was the one who saved it.

body: I tried your guess and this is what it looked like:

It seems, that confluence list both modifier in version 1. The Creator of the page is the person, who really creates the empty page.

dorollback performing rollback in confluence plugin filter. How to solve the transaction occurrence?
Asked by gwakss:

I am trying to attach a drm function.  
When uploading a file, a servlet filter is registered in atlassian-plugin.xml to create a plugin.  
When the servlet path in "doFilter" is "/plugins/drag-and-drop/upload.action", it was confirmed that the file was created using a stream.  
Using the code below, until chain.doFilter is executed, the following WARN occurs, and the icon of the upload file is not created.  
Is there any way to prevent WARN from happening?  
If WARN does not occur, can the icon of the uploaded file be created?

```
AttachmentResource resource = new InputStreamAttachmentResource(new FileInputStream(file), filename_org, mimeType, file.length(), "");
resource1 = new InputStreamAttachmentResource(new FileInputStream(file), filename_org, mimeType, file.length(), "");
Attachment attachment = page.getAttachmentNamed(filename_org);

this.fileUploadManager.storeResource(resource, page);

chain.doFilter((ServletRequest)attachmentRequestWrapper, httpResponse);
return;
```

The WARN is as follows.

Is there any way to use interactive jupyter notebooks with Jupyter/IPython Viewer for Confluence?
Asked by Javanaut:

Is there any viable route to display non-static jupyter notebooks in confluence server with Jupyter/IPython Viewer for Confluence addon as shown here (with nbviewer)?

<https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/bokeh/bokeh-notebooks/blob/master/tutorial/06%20-%20Linking%20and%20Interactions.ipynb>

Setting up a notebook server either on client or server side is no problem.

Answers:
author: Roman Stoffel
body: Are you talking about the[Jupyter Viewer for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1214144/jupyter-viewer-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=datacenter) app?

What do you exactly mean by 'interactive' elements? The graphs on the example?

In the example, these graphs are produced by embedded JavaScript. This is currently not supported by Jupyter Viewer for Confluence. We are thinking about adding some kind of Javascript support. However, running JavaScript adds a big security risk, so we are carefully evaluating if we want to support it.

<br />

I suggest to maybe add a comment to this [feature request](https://mibexsoftware.atlassian.net/browse/IPYTHON4C-16) or send us a[support request](https://mibexsoftware.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/1) with your case. So that we can consider it when thinking about supporting this.

Images from web in the new editor
Asked by Yannik Pipek:

Hello, Confluence seems to be forcing the new editor more and more which causes a major issue for me. Basically I used to embed images from web with the old editors function which was really easy and straight forward to use.  

Now in the new editor, the images from web option is just completely gone which is crazy to me.  

Does anyone know how to do this in the new editor?

Is there a way to limit the share feature / button?
Asked by Stefan Recknagel:

Is there a way to limit the share feature / button? E.g. prevent the selection of groups in general or maybe of special groups, limit the amount of users you can share with?

In a Confluence instance with a group with a lot of users, someone can use the share button to trigger a mass e-mail to a lot of users.

Our current "solution" is to disable the share button, but limiting would be much better than switching it off completely.

?? Time tracking in Confluence?
Asked by Kate Pawlak _Appsvio_:

Hi all,

I'm looking for any solution for **time-tracking in Confluence**. Very often I have to create a page which is applied to few issues in Jira, so I don't know where should I log time. ???? We would like to log time under pages. Another thing is that we have some teams (especially non-technical) which use Trello or another external tools for planning and they also want to log time in Confluence.

Do you have any idea how to solve this problem? Maybe you meet the same in your companies.

Cheers,

Sophie

Impossible to type non-emojis?
Asked by admin:

With the new editor, it appears to be impossible to type series of characters that Confluence wants to change into emojis, at least on macOS. Try typing B) and confluence helpfully assumes that I want a smiley face with sunglasses instead of a continuation of my A) from the line before it.

I've read the documentation here <https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/keyboard-shortcuts-markdown-and-autocomplete/#Keyboardshortcuts,markdown,andautocomplete-neweditor>

I have tried Esc, cmd+z, ctrl+z, delete, clicking away. None of them make the emoji revert to actual text.

I have checked Profile Photo \> Settings \> Editor. All the options to disable autocomplete are greyed out and disabled.

The only thing I've found to work is copy-pasting the string I want to type into the editor.

Is there ANY way to disable this? Is there ANY shortcut to cancel the auto-replace?


Answers:
author: Robin Green
body: I agree that this is undesirable behavior.

Best: Show emojis as hints we can pick if we want them. (In an issue tracking system emojis are rarely useful)

OK: Give us some way to escape or Ctrl+Z out of the emoji

Worst: Jira today!


author: Kate Pawlak _Appsvio_
body: Hi [@dougw](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1146122) ,

It looks like a bug... What you can do is using a small letter (so you have to type **b)** ). Another option is using space between letter **B** and bracket **)**, and after typing the bracket removing the space.

*I have checked Profile Photo \> Settings \> Editor. All the options to disable autocomplete are greyed out and disabled.*

Please check it once again. Did you click **Edit** button below the options to make any changes and select checkboxes? I selected these checkboxes but I don't see any changes on the page. Still B) is replacing on sunglasses emoji.

Which browser do you use?

Best regards,

Sophie

comments: author: admin
body: Ah okay well that solves the mystery of those settings. I assumed that button was to submit the changes but you are correct, it enables them.

That said, yeah those settings do not appear to actually change emoji auto-replace behavior so this still doesn't solve the problem.

I appreciate the ideas, but of course typing something I don't want just to avoid an emoji isn't really a solution. In my example, yes, maybe I'm able to use lowercase letters or maybe not. There are lots of cases where it's not possible.

Ex. How would I cite this legal document? (18 U.S.C. ? 8)

I am on macOS Catalina using Chrome.

Can we move the configuration file alone to a different location from confluence home directory?
Asked by ELIZABETH_JOHN:

I need to move my configuration file alone to a different location from the home directory. Will confluence support that? I don't want to move the entire home directory to a different location but only the configuration file for security reasons. If this is supported what all changes should I make during my installation/ post installation.


Answers:
author: Moses Thomas
body: [@ELIZABETH_JOHN](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3936240)

No, Confluence need the files and all the directory's in the the home directory to work. What you can do is to change the location of the home directory, that is put the path some what far away that it will not be easy to find for a user that have access to server. The configuration file for the home is

```
? <confluence_home>/confluence/WEB-INF/classes/confluence-init.properties
```

There you can change the new part. Even at that if this user have extensive knowledge of **grep** in Linux and searching on Windows he will be able to find it. But this is the best you can do.

Kind regards,

Mo
