Can I turn off watchers notification for mockup changes?
Asked by Sabine Meyer:

Watchers get notification when I change a mockup although I cleared the Notify Watchers check box in the page where the mockup is in.

How can I turn that off? I only corrected a spelling mistake in the mockup - no need to notify anybody ![sad](/html/@C495B4504065515364EB1894F812B34C/images/emoticons/sad.png "sad")


Answers:
author: Milo Test
body: Are you sure you unchecked the box every time? Version 5.7 and earlier the box always reverted to being selected. At 5.8, it became "sticky."

comments: author: Sabine Meyer
body: quite sure. Notifications Check Box behaves well if I just edit a page. The problem is only if I update a mockup within the page.


author: Milo Test
body: Is this mockup via a specific addon such as LucidChart or Balsamiq, etc.?


author: Sabine Meyer
body: yes, Balsamiq


author: Milo Test
body: I'm not that familiar with Balsamiq, but with LucidChart there is collaboration within LucidChart apart from Confluence and updates are presented to those that share that particular drawing. You might see if there is a setting in Balsamiq for regulating edit announcements.

How do I audit Confluence on-demand user access?
Asked by Yonatan Perry:

I would like to know who logged in, when, and which spaces \& pages they have visited.

Preferably without plugins.

I am using confluence on-demand.


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: I'm afraid Cloud does not support the plugins you would need to be able to do this.

comments: author: Yonatan Perry
body: This is so very sad. Seriously. We're talking about an enterprise product with 10+ years of market traction and without this trivial requirement.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: It's not a trivial requirement - Confluence has it built in and disabled because the load is spectacular. And the Cloud solution is not truly "enterprise" - it doesn't go above 1000 users for a start and can only store 25Gb data. For an Enterprise Confluence, you'll want your own Server install or even Data Centre (both of those will allow you some addons, but also you'll have access to the proxies or load balancers where you can do view tracking in more detail and less load)

How can I display labels and counts in a table that will update in realtime?
Asked by Eddie Duvick:

I would like to be able to create a table that would display specific labels on pages, and a count of how many of those labels exist, that would update as more pages with such labels are created. How can I accomplish this?

Thanks!


Answers:
author: Elisa [Atlassian]
body: Hi Eddie,

Unfortunately it's not possible to achieve this. The closest you can get is to use [Content By Label](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/ConfCloud/Content+by+Label+Macro) or [Report Table Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/ConfCloud/Content+Report+Table+Macro) to display all the pages associated with a label. This way, you can have an overview of how many pages uses this label.

Hope this helps!

Space template
Asked by Eric Warren:

Hello,

When I create a new documentation space in Confluence, it always creates a "Getting Started" document with child documents. I've created my own document templates, and would like to setup those templates in a specific tree of my own when I create a documentation space. How can I accomplish that?


Answers:
author: Davin Studer
body: The easiest thing I have found is to create a regular space that you will use as a template. Then use the [copy space add-on](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.atlassian.confluence.plugin.copyspace) when you create your new space to copy the template.


author: Giuliano C.
body: Hey Eric,

Currently, to have the Space Template created from the scratch (not including the "Getting Started" option) there is no readily function to create a space template in Confluence. However, we are working to implement that through the following feature request (which have a lot of votes!):

<https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-4538>

I'd recommend you not to only vote on it, but, also share your thoughts through comments, so other users and developers can take a look and talk with you.

As this is not something that can be implemented right away, perhaps you would like to use the Confluence CLI add-n (<https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/display/CSOAP>) to achieve this instead. Below is their documentation regarding this matter:

<https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/display/CSOAP/How+to+create+pages+from+template+pages>

Hope it helps you, sir!

Regards,

Giuliano T.

author: Milo Test
body: Sounds like you need to look into [Space Blueprints](https://developer.atlassian.com/confdev/confluence-plugin-guide/confluence-blueprints/space-blueprints). Space Blueprints are basically one or more templates (including the default Home page) that is autogenerated when the Blueprint is invoked to create a Space.

comments: author: Eric Warren
body: Appreciate the answer, but that looks terribly difficult. Why does everything useful in Confluence have to involve the command line?

Detecting login of disabled user?
Asked by Chris M:

Currently, when a disabled user attempts to login, confluence displays the message "Sorry, your username and/or password are incorrect. Please try again." -- exactly what it does if you've mistyped your password.

Is there a way to identify, detect or hook-into the event for a disabled user logging in? We'd like to automatically enable such users but can not do so without some sort of trigger or method to detect the event.


Answers:
author: Chris M
body: Thanks. Yes, but I noticed that the log entry created is identical to those for failed logins (password typos, etc). There does not seem to be a way to uniquely identify a disabled user logging in. I guess you could check all failed logins on the fly to see if they happen to be disabled. Not very graceful.


author: Guilherme V.
body: Hello Chris,  

You can find in the Confluence's logs the username that tried to access Confluence.
How can I display check boxes in confluence
Asked by sidhartha:

There are a list of items. I want to display check boxes before these items. Is there a way?


Answers:
author: Milo Test
body: Perhaps the best is to select **Insert** --\> **Task list**.

This will create a checkbox item that you can assign to someone with a due date. You can also just type some text if you want a simple list.

Either way, these checkboxes are dynamic, i.e. checkable.
Rename tomcat7.exe?
Asked by Scott Beeson:

I'm running JIRA and Confluence on the same server. Both show up in the task manager as Tomcat7.exe. I'm planning to write a monitoring script to restart the appropriate services if the tasks crash.

I found references to the exe in **service.bat**. Is this all I have to change? Is this advisable?


Answers:
author: Matthias Gaiser _K15t_
body: Basically, this question is about tomcat administration. It is perfectly fine to change the name of the service tomcat is running with. In order to change the name and many other options, you can simply follow the general tomcat administration guidelines:

<https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/windows-service-howto.html>

Also the standard confluence documentation recommends another naming, e.g. Confluence:

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Start+Confluence+Automatically+on+Windows+as+a+Service>

How can I restrict an attachment so it can only be edited by one user at a time?
Asked by Michele Tibbetts:

I've added an attachment in Confluence that is to be updated by each member of our project team. However, multiple users are allowed to edit the document at the same time rather. Can I restrict the attachment so that it cannot be opened to edit when someone else already has it open?


Answers:
author: Darren Pegg
body: The Arsenal Lockpoint plugin might help you.. You can lock the attachment when editing and unlock when completed and if someone has left it locked by mistake an admin can perform a forced unlock or inform the user to unlock it also..

Unable to download ImageMap plugin v1.9 for Confluence 4.3.7
Asked by Infinera:

Hi, We are trying to install the ImageMap plugin v1.9, which is the one compatible with our Confluence version (4.3.7), but with no success. We tried using the UPM and downloading directly the .jar from the "Version History" page and both options weren't successful.

It seems that there is a problem with only this version (v1.9) since with the other files the download was successful.


Answers:
author: lavitz slambert
body: Strange, maybe the plugin got removed from atlassian base. Based on that you have two options:

Click on the raise support ticket link so one of the cloud engineers can check the atlassian repository for that or mail the plugin owner directly:

<https://marketplace.atlassian.com/vendors/97>

I would go with second option which I believe it will be way faster since this vendor made a new release of the plugin 3 days ago :smile:.

If you can reach him via email he will probably send you the jar file and re upload into atlassian marketplace.

Thanks and Regards,  
Lavitz - the guy that uses Confluence on Windows as a Hobby!


author: Giuliano C.
body: Hi Coriant,

Would you kindly let us know what's happening when trying to install the add-on? Is there any message in the UI or something specific inside the atlassian-confluence.log file in the \<Home/logs\> folder?

Depending on the results, different procedures may need to be taken.

Cheers,

body: Hi,

Any news regarding this issue?

author: Infinera
body: Hi,

We tried install the plugin using the UPM in Confluence but without success so we decided to download the plugin jar directly from the plugin version history page <https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/de.dl.confluence.plugin.imagemap.ImageMapPlugin/versions>, and again without success. Although we are able to download other versions.

The problem does no rely in Confluence itself. It's on the plugin host.

Cannot change Server Base URL
Asked by Vernon Song:

The Server Base URL field is greyed out and I cannot change.

I cannot even do this step - "uncheck the **Enable** check box next to **Secure administrator sessions"** in the security configuration from this link: - <https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Configuring+Secure+Administrator+Sessions>

It just resets after I commit the change.

Any ideas?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: That's correct. You can't just change the base url of a system to get it to be published on a different url. You need to update all the DNS and network settings as well as the base url.

And you can't do any of that on Cloud. To "change" the location of an Atlassian Cloud system, you have to buy a new one and migrate your data from the old to the new one.

author: Giuliano C.
body: Hi Natxo,

To check what Confluence could be suggesting in order to have it working, would you kindly change some configuration in the App links, to see if the results would be different?

For example, if using **Trusted Authentication** , can you change both Incoming and Outgoing authentications to use the **Oauth** one, which is what we recommend? You can access this information in **Confluence Admin \> Application Links \> Edit**

Also, may you know if this is happening with different users? I'm asking about that because sometimes, a permission made in the Confluence/JIRA side to see the content is configured, hence, avoiding specific users to see it, actually.

In case of having this kind of behaviour persisting for a long time and this start to become critical for you, don't forget to raise a new ticket in our support channel: <https://support.atlassian.com> so we can assist you there.

Regards,

Giuliano T.

Can confluence be set to require a LABEL when creating a new confluence page from a template?
Asked by tony carter:

I have 30 departments that will use the same template except each one has a different LABEL.

Do I have to create 30 templates?

Or,

Can I create one template and require the user select from a list of labels when they create a new page?


Answers:
author: Milo Test
body: You can create a global template, then use the Create Page Macro on the home page of each department space or a parent page and automatically add the label(s) you want.

comments: author: tony carter
body: great - sounds good -0 thanks


author: Nick Worth
body: From what I can see there is no way from the macro to setup a label automatically per macro. Instead you can only select the template which then already has a label(s) but in this scenario the goal is to use the same base template but across multiple departments.

is there a cloud instance of Crowd available to integrate with our current Confluence cloud-based instance?
Asked by Mostafa Mostafa:


Answers:

comments: author: Mostafa Mostafa
body: Makes sense... so how would we go about integrating it with our current user directories from JIRA, Confluence, LDAP, AD, etc. We're in the process of a company-wide migration to Confluence and I am pushing for Crowd as it seems to be the most viable option. We simply need to know how we would implement it to begin usage, at least with the trial so that I may demo it to them.

From a confluence page, how can I embed (a part of) a file in a Bitbucket repository?
Asked by David Bakin:

I know I can do a link to a page. What I'm *really* interested in is embedding an excerpt of a source file (e.g., lines 25-35 of a particular source file on a particular branch) in a Confluence page, so that it is live and changes when the source code is changed. It would sort of make Confluence more useful for documentation purposes if I could, e.g., describe an enum type and then have the actual current definition of that enum type embedded in the page below the description. Given that are source is in Bitbucket that seems a reasonable integration, but I can't find it. Thanks!


Answers:
author: Rodrigo Silva
body: Hi David, as far as I know this embed feature is not presented on Cloud Platform, but there's already a request for it:

<https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-29698>

I know that this is not a concrete resolution, but at least we have a improvement raised to dev team. :smile:
