Copy Page Tree V.2.1.0
Asked by Tamara Djordjevic:

Hello,

Could you please tell us how can we select only a few pages from page tree?

We can copy the entire page tree, but we cannot select which pages will be copied.

Also, we would need release notes for this version.

Could you please assist?

Thank you and kind regards,

Tamara

$.ui.autocomplete not working in User Macro
Asked by Shubham Garg:

I am unable to use

```
var results =$.ui.autocomplete.filter(collection, extractLast(request.term));
```

this in a macro

Whereas the same works when inserted inside an html macro on the page.

Error occurred rendering macro is given.


Answers:
author: Stephen Deutsch
body: Inside a user macro, the $ symbol is interpreted as the start of a variable, so jQuery code often throws an error. You can either assign a variable to the $ symbol and use it where you would normally use it (like this: ${j}.ui), or simply use "jQuery", which is what I usually do.

So in a user macro, it should look like this:

```
var results = jQuery.ui.autocomplete.filter(collection, extractLast(request.term));
```


author: Steve Gerstner [bridgingIT]
body: jQuery is usually wrapped in AJS, so try

var results =AJS.$.ui.autocomplete.filter(collection, extractLast(request.term));

comments: author: Shubham Garg
body: Tried it.

But It does not work. Gives the same error

Automate Confluence attachments
Asked by Pushpkant Garg:

We have a file (PDF) that is automatically generated daily, and made available in a shared drive.

Is it possible for Confluence to automatically attach/embed this file to a particular page each day (and replace the previous one)?


Answers:
author: Bob Swift (personal)
body: You can use [addAttachment](https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/display/CSOAP/Reference#Reference-addAttachment) from [Confluence Command Line Interface (CLI)](https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/display/CSOAP). If it already exists, it will add as a new version. If you only want one version, use [removeAttachment](https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/display/CSOAP/Reference#Reference-removeAttachment) first.

Another approach is to keep a limited set of versions by using [removeAttachmentVersions](https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/display/CSOAP/Reference#Reference-removeAttachmentVersions) with a limit parameter.


author: Steven F Behnke
body: How is it generated? It's possible to attach files to Pages via the API.

ActiveObjects: 2 instances?!
Asked by rollin_crittendon:

I have spent a bit of time looking into this one.

I have a set of services that use annotations for components.

A bunch of them use ActiveObjects.

The services work **great** in a unit-test environment. In that instance I have a memory-based ActiveObjects that is used.

*However*, when trying to use 'atlas-run' I run into an issue.

I get the following error.

```
INFO] [talledLocalContainer] org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'predicateService': Unsatisfied dependency expressed through constructor argument with index 0 of type?[com.atlassian.activeobjects.external.ActiveObjects]: : No qualifying bean of type [com.atlassian.activeobjects.external.ActiveObjects] is defined: expected single matching bean but found 2: ao_osgi,activeObjects;?nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.NoUniqueBeanDefinitionException: No qualifying bean of type [com.atlassian.activeobjects.external.ActiveObjects] is defined: expected single matching bean but found 2: ao_osgi,activeObjects
```

The code I have now looks like this (I added @Scan just now, to no avail.

```
@Scanned@Component@ExportAsService({PredicateService.class})@Named("predicateService")public class PredicateServiceImpl implements PredicateService {    Logger.Log log = Logger.getInstance(PredicateServiceImpl.class);    @ComponentImport    private final ActiveObjects ao;    @Inject    public PredicateServiceImpl(ActiveObjects ao) {        this.ao = ao;    }
```

I have read about similar situations encountered in Spring in general, tried a few things, nothing seemed to work.

Any advice, admonitions etc are appreciated!


Answers:
author: rollin_crittendon
body: I swapped @ComponentImport with @Qualifier (the one that takes a value), and things seem happier.

I removed @Scanned as well.

Is this correct form?

Do others encounter the need for @Qualifier sometimes?

```
@Component@ExportAsService({PredicateService.class})@Named("predicateService")public class PredicateServiceImpl implements PredicateService {    Logger.Log log = Logger.getInstance(PredicateServiceImpl.class);    @Qualifier("activeObjects")    private final ActiveObjects ao;    @Inject    public PredicateServiceImpl(ActiveObjects ao) {        this.ao = ao;    }

PDF Export: change font sized used for "Page Properties Report" and "Table" content only
Asked by Gavin Fowler:

Hi

can anyone help - I'm looking to address some anomalies I'm getting when creating PDF output on pages that use either "page properties report" or "table". Typically my user community is finding that this data is often truncated or badly formatted. changing the page orientation form portrait to landscape is undesirable - so my thoughts turned to selectively change the PDF stylesheet to change the font size only when a "page properties report" or "table" macro is being output - the remainder of the PDF output uses the default font.

I've looked at the examples: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf53/customising-exports-to-pdf-411108704.html> where it outlines how to change the font for the whole PDF output - but my desire is to change the output for just the PDF output for the macros stated (page properties report / table)

Many thanks!


Answers:
author: Steffen Heller
body: Changing the font size for a specific area within the page (like these macros) should be possible when you find the right CSS selectors. In other words you must check the HTML source code for that area and then define CSS that will (1) take effect for these HTML tags, (2) leave all the rest unaffected and (3) has a higher priority and overwrites other (standard) CSS formats.

First step is to know the HTML code. If I did, I could try my luck.

Thanks


Answers:
author: Davin Studer
body: This is what I do to create/refresh our dev server. This is based on the steps from this document.

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf58/migrating-confluence-between-servers-771893123.html>

* Install the same version as is currently in prod to the non-prod server.
* Launch Confluence in a browser to configure the install. You will need to visit [my.atlassian.com](http://my.atlassian.com) to get a developers license for Confluence.
* Put the license into the web page and start a Production Installation
* Stop Confluence on the non production server.
* Take a backup of the production Confluence database.
* Delete the Confluence database on the non production server.
* Restore the backup of the production database to the non production server.
* Edit the confluence.cfg.xml file in the home directory of the non productions server and ensure the database connection is not pointed to production.
  * The home directory location is stored in a configuration file called confluence-init.properties, which is located inside the confluence/WEB-INF/classes directory in your Confluence Installation directory.
* Zip the Confluence home directory on the production server.
* Copy the zip file from the production server to the non production server.
* Unzip the file and move all of the contents except the index folder and the confluence.cfg.xml to the home directory on the non production server.
* Delete the index folder on the non production server and then create a new folder called index
* Move the edge and plugin folders from the production index folder to the non production index folder that you just created.
* Run these two sql statements against the non-production database
  * delete from Confluence.dbo.BANDANA where BANDANAKEY = 'atlassian.confluence.smtp.mail.accounts'
  * delete from Confluence.dbo.BANDANA where BANDANAKEY = 'atlassian.confluence.space.mailaccounts'
* Restart the Confluence service.
* Set the Server Base Url in Confluence Admin -\> General Configuration
* Go to Confluence Admin -\> Administration -\> Content Indexing and rebuild the index.

why doesn't build history show actual date
Asked by shanea:

Hello,

I needed to get a specific build, based on date. I went to the appropriate build project, and displayed the history tab. It has a column telling me how long ago it was built. And it is 'rounding' because apparently a build done on June 10 (its June 24) was done a week ago

If the actual date was displayed, it would have saved me from having to go to each build's detail to check the actual date.

Now that I think about it, you do that in Bitbucket too. Is there some config setting I'm missing? I don't really give 2 hoots about some approximate time since an event happened

Cheers

confluence users says it is locked
Asked by Timothy Fennell:

I have user accounts that say that they are locked when the user tries to login and from the user administration screen the user is not locked. I need some help figuring this out. We have been using the Intenso Enterprise Password Policy plugin.


Answers:
author: Daniel Bajrak
body: Hi,

in Enterprise Password Policy you can lock users in many ways (password expiration, locking user's account after X failed login attempts or specific date). To provide better security this plugin have own tool to lock user. You need to unlock user in administration of plugin, not in user administration. To do this go to configuration of plugin choose "Show user password policies" and click "unlock" link (<https://intenso.atlassian.net/wiki/display/PP/User+Account+Locking>). If it doesn't work that means there is some problem with this plugin and you should create ticket in [InTENSO Service Desk](https://intenso.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/13).

I hope I've helped you.

Best Regards

How do I find a page to change the title to be moved?
Asked by Jeremy Price:

When I am trying to move a page in confluence it tells me that there is already a page with the same title so I have to change the title before I can move it. However when I am trying to move that page I can't find the exact page that needs to be changed. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong but I can't find the page that needs to be changed. In the screen shot you see the page title 'Brand Page - Links to Shared Services Spaces' but when I search for the page title I can't find the exact name to change the page.

copy/past from confluence to jira without losing formatting
Asked by Gideon Abate:

How do i copy formatted text from confluence into a JIRA case description and not lose the formatting from Confluence?


Answers:
author: Jessica Malenfant
body: And to note we also do have an internal JIRA instance and are struggling on how to best capture requests for new development work with associated metadata, like stakeholders, and the content of the requirements without having to duplicate information both on our internal instance as well as in the outside instance. Would love to know how others approach this.


author: Jessica Malenfant
body: we are having the same issue. We're starting to capture software requirements in confluence, but also have a separate instance for JIRA that our outside development team owns. We need to document requirements and metadata internally as well as in the JIRA instance our dev partner manages. And copying and pasting and re-formatting from wiki--\>JIRA is a huge pain


author: Gideon Abate
body: Yes, that is possible and it is done as well, but people can be lazy and not switch between the two all the time to read details of how the story should be implemented. So I usually ensure that the story and the confluence pages are in-sync with each other by copying text between them.  
Does your team simply use Confluence as the source of truth? What do you usually have in the description field of the story?


author: Andrea Carl
body: Why copy and paste? Why not just link the JIRA issue with the Confluence page or text?
