Terminal not working
Asked by Steven M.:

Hello,

I'm using the latest Sourcetree (new installed).

I've set up my SSH client configuration to use my pregenerated SSH key with PuTTY / Plink and all actions within the GUI work as expected.

But when I try to use the terminal, any git operation results in an error:

```
git fetch
git@hidden: Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
```

I already tried to check my ssh-agent status, but it seems that it is not running or doing anything:

```
ssh-add -l
Could not open a connection to your authentication agent.
```

Any ideas?

body: Hello Yasin,

Thank you. Setting up SSH Agent did not resolve the issue due to an invalid format. My old key was in format "PuTTY-User-Key-File-2":

    Load key "privkey.ppk": invalid format

Opening the key with PuTTY Key Generator and choosing*Conversions \> Export OpenSSH key (force new file format)* did the trick.

Now I have a new key file that can be used within the terminal using *ssh-add*

Additionally I had to set up a *.bashrc* for auto-starting the SSH agent upon starting the terminal (for the first time only):

```
export SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/.ssh-socket
ssh-add -l > /dev/null
if [ $? = 2 ]; then
??? rm -f $SSH_AUTH_SOCK
??? echo Starting new ssh-agent...
??? eval $(ssh-agent -a $SSH_AUTH_SOCK) > /dev/null
??? ssh-add ~/.ssh/privkey.ppk && echo "OK: ssh-agent set up successfully with the following keys:" && ssh-add -l
fi
```

Now my terminal is working correctly.

Best regards!
I am wondering if there is a way to link a Jira project to a Confluence page?
Asked by Lauren Ekvall:

I am hoping to be able to limk specific projects in Jira to a list of all my projects in Confluence.

I am not sure if I understand you correctly. To create a list of Jira projects in Confluence, you can just copy the URL of a Jira project and paste it to your Confluence page. This way, the URL gets converted to a smart link and is nicely displayed in Confluence.

Let me know if this helps!

Looking for a "topics collection macro"
Asked by Karsten Silkenb?umer:

I'm looking for a topics collection macro that is -- embedded on a meeting minutes parent page -- as easy to use as the decision macro and lets users enter topics for the next meeting to be discussed.

A topics list should be embeddable on the page.

In the meetings I'd like to pick topics from the list to be discussed and be able to easily remove them from the topics list. Current workaround is to have a table with 4 columns: date (entered), name (me who adds it), topic and description (or notes), then manually move the text over to the meeting minute page and remove it from the table.

I wonder if there's anything like that already available that I couldn't find scrolling through the list of macros.

A perfect world macro would fill the new meeting minutes with the open topics or even lets me quickly move them from open to the meeting with 1 click so they are gone from the parent list and available in the meeting minutes. Everything we can't make will stay "open".

author: Laura Campbell _Seibert Media_
body: Hi [@Karsten Silkenb?umer](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5585947) and welcome to Community.

A Trello board actually sounds like a really simple solution for what you're trying to achieve as users could create topics as cards in a "to be discussed" list, and then once they're discussed they're moved to a "closed" or "discussed" list.

You can embed a Trello board on a Confluence page and users can interact with it. If you embed the Trello board on your page template (done through the space settings), each new page would display the Trello board in it's most recent version.

How do I disable those annoying "whats new" feature pop ups?

Christ on a horse. How does one disable those annoying pop-ups notifying you of the 5 million new features no one ever asked for? I don't need the hand holding. The pop ups disrupt the workflow.

How do I get and set a Confluence page's status from a Jira automation?
Asked by S?rgio Baixo:

Basically the goal of what I'm supposed to do is to change a confluence page's status based on a Jira issue type, i.e. if a Jira issue transitions to "In Progress" it's respective Confluence page should change it's status to "In Progress". The Confluence already exists. So I am using the GET to get this value and lastly, the PUT to update it to the new status. But I can't even get this status value since it does not show up in the content. I am sharing the complete automation. Any help is appreciated.

Answers:
author: Michel Neeser
body: Hi [@S?rgio Baixo](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5586005) and welcome to the community!

You can **get** the status of a page by using [this endpoint](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/v1/api-group-content-states/#api-wiki-rest-api-content-id-state-get) of the Confluence API as follows:

![SCR-20240908-megv.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/346126i0FA9447433CAFE31/image-dimensions/314x296?v=v2 "SCR-20240908-megv.png")

Please note that the number in the URL is the page ID.

To **update** the page status, you can use [this endpoint](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/v1/api-group-content-states/#api-wiki-rest-api-content-id-state-put) as follows:

For a list of all available statuses and their IDs, have a look at [this endpoint](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/v1/api-group-content-states/#api-wiki-rest-api-content-id-state-available-get).

comments: author: S?rgio Baixo
body: Hi there [@Michel Neeser](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1828853) thank you for your welcome and for your response. The GET request worked and I was able to get the web response body that I needed. As for the POST request, your answer was not working for me due to the request body. After much trial and error, I found the the correct answer, for my case, was to leave the request body just like this:  

{  
"id": "48169017",  
"name": "In Progress",  
"color": "#2684ff"  
}  

I had to perform a GET for each state to get it's respective color and ID to proceed with the rest of my automation.  
Nonetheless you helped me a lot, thanks again :)

Custom fields - where???
Asked by JaS:

I am on the premium trial because I am a new user but I cannot find anywhere anything about custom fields. I watched the confluence video and wiki for that and they seem completely outdated. When I click on settings or space settings there is nothing about custom fields anywhere.

Is it possible that despite the Premium trial, it does not allow you to set up custom fields?

How to display Confluence spaces and their admins?
Asked by Ashley Honeycutt:

I would like to create a page in Confluence that lists all the spaces and their admins.

The purpose of this is so that users don't have to submit a ticket to IT for access (IT then has to reach out to the space admin for approval). Users can see who they need to contact directly instead of IT acting as a middle man for access and having to wait for approvals to be gathered.

Is there a way this information can be displayed in Confluence?


Answers:
author: Nicolai Sibler
body: Hi [@Ashley Honeycutt](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5065838),

two thoughts:

Manually:   
Have all space admins organized in groups. Create a table where one column is populated with the space names and another one with user list macros (each macro displays the admin group).

Automatically:  
Fetch the data from the server. Create a job to export the data to excel. Write a script to attach the file by a bot account to a page with a excel macro.

Hope that helps!

Regards,

Nicolai

What are the syntax for all macros to use the advance search macroName:
Asked by Jonathan Saldarriag:

Dear Community,

Sometimes I need to run an advanced search to see which pages are using a particular macro. I know this can be done with macroName: but the hard part is to get the right syntax of the add ons. For example I am trying to search for all pages that use the confiforms. I have tried with confiforms, Confiforms and confiForms. This is an exact example but it would be ideal to have like a list with the names. I could not find one.


Answers:
author: Radek Dost?l
body: You can see the macro name in either source or storage formats of a page.

There's not exactly a "comprehensive" list or a macro suggestion service afaik but you could try the "Macro Usage" page at /admin/pluginusage.action

That lists all(I think?) macro names - for the most part it should be similar to the "pretty" names so shouldn't be too hard to guess which one is which. Might be a pretty handy page in this case.


author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: You should know and use the macro name (as in storage format) as an argument

For ConfiForms forms it would be

How toe enable an deactivated account
Asked by p_okken:

Hi,

<br />

We have added an account of one of our customers to our Jira-environment.

He is not able to accept the invitation, because his account has been disabled. It i possiblie for him to make a request for a password-reset, and receives the email and i able to reset the password. But still cannot logon to Jira, because his account has been disabled.

I have already found these posts:

* <https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloudkb/enabling-a-deactivated-account-to-provide-site-access-1005792657.html>
* <https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/How-do-enable-activate-a-previously-disabled-deactivated-user/qaq-p/237206>

But an additional problem is, that he does not know who the admin is of the Jira-environment in which his account has been disabled. This might be an third party (ic. a supplier).

How to solve this?

Any suggestions?

Kind regards

Pedro Okken


Answers:
author: Dhanush
body: Hi [@p_okken](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5585815) , In line with [@Dirk Ronsmans](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/124602) 's previous comment, the user in question needs to reach out to their admin who has claimed their domain.   

This is to gain insight into why their account has been deactivated/disabled. Once the account is reactivated, you will then be able to add the user on your site.


author: Dirk Ronsmans
body: If his account is deactivated it has to have been from an environment that was able to claim his account meaning they would have needed to verify the domain his account is linked to

This being a supplier would be odd as the claim would have need to have been done with a DNS verification of the domain.

To be honest there is nothing you can do on your end if the account has been deactivated.

They will need to contact their own support to figure out what Atlassian environment they have internally and who claimed their account.

Maybe, but that's a true maybe, he could reach out to support to see what environment has a claim on his account and go from there. (but local IT would be an obvious first step)


author: p_okken

I have also contacted support of Atlassian, and they acknowledged that an admin should reactivate that account. Now hoping that he will find the admin in his organization.

Confluence Database Refresh - JQL
Asked by Terry Meissner:

Good morning community,  

Please note, the following is in relation to the 'Databases' functionality within Confluence...not the backend DB.  

When setting up a Database in Confluence and importing data using a JQL query, the only way I can see to refresh the data is to re-import using the same query which unfortunately blows away the existing Database structure and views.  

Is there a way (or is in in the roadmap) where the JQL query can be retained and the database be refreshed based on said query whilst maintaining the table structure (i.e. same as when inserting a Jira Query macro into a Confluence page)?  

An example of this as a use case where I want to display a list of Epics with two additional coulmns of RAG and Comments. If more Epics are created within the project, I want the database to automatically add another entry with the additional Epic (i.e. re-run the query) and maintain the RAG and Comments columns.  

I can't see this to be done using automation either.

Thanks for your help.
