Add Free Text Column To JIRA Macro
Asked by Dolev Sall:

Hi!

We are using JIRA Macro in our page during our meeting. We are missing the option to add comment to each JIRA that we go through.

Is there a way to add to the JIRA Macro table a column that will enable us to insert free text so we will be able to comment?

body: Hi [@Dolev Sall](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4147604) ,

Welcome to Atlassian Community...!

Jira Macro is based up on field's from Jira application and JQL.

We can't add a new column to Macro. I think it's not possible.

Thanks.

comments: author: Dolev Sall
body: Any other way you can think of achieving this goal? I can insert in regular table and take specific ticket each time but it is not smart way..

I thought also about adding custom field to JIRA and add it to the table but it will be a pain update each time (need to go to the JIRA and back to Confluence..)

Thanks!

Usign HTML to change page color
Asked by tuxiaolin2367:

Hi all,

any one knows how to use HTML scripts to change single page color?


Answers:
author: Bill Bailey
body: Are you wanting to change a color on all pages site wide, or all within a space, or just on one page for one element (the answer differs). ;-)


author: Martin James
body: Could use CSS style element for this. Something like:

```
<style type="text/css"> div#main { background: rgb(74,98,122); background: -moz-linear-gradient(0deg, rgba(74,98,122,1) 0%, rgba(136,189,188,1) 100%); background: -webkit-linear-gradient(0deg, rgba(74,98,122,1) 0%, rgba(136,189,188,1) 100%); background: linear-gradient(0deg, rgba(74,98,122,1) 0%, rgba(136,189,188,1) 100%); filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr="#4a627a",endColorstr="#88bdbc",GradientType=1); background-attachment: fixed; }

Include a button to email the current page to a recipient
Asked by Nikhil Utane:

Hello, every week I create a status report that I want to send to my boss.

The report is created as a Confluence page. What I am looking for is, once I am done updating the status, I want to click a button that will include the entire page as an email body and send it.

What are my options here?

-Thanks, Nikhil


Answers:
author: Jack Brickey
body: There's no way to do this out of the box. At least not creating a button. However it's a pretty simple matter to export as PDF or simply copy/paste the contents. Obviously you can use the Share button to send a link to the page.

Unknown symbol appearing
Asked by Steve:

This symbol is weirdly appearing in my Confluence document. I can't select it to delete it. How do I remove this and I think there is a diamond symbol embedded as well but I can't select this to remove it.

![Capture.JPG](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/127108iF72B21EF0056383D/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Capture.JPG")

Can anyone help please?


Answers:
author: Nicole
body: Agreed about the symbol indicating another editor. I see it when I'm collaborating with others on pages. Note: If you have the page open in a second browser tab, you may see an icon for yourself editing the page. To remedy this, close one of the tabs.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: That looks like a second editor is active in your page.

To confirm, or rule that out, could you add a bit more text? Then confirm exactly which symbol is wrong in a new screenshot.


author: Pavel Junek
body: Hi Steve,

Welcome to Atlassian community!

Is the symbol visible even after saving the page? Is it displayed this way on all newly created pages? Maybe this is a rare mistake.

You can look at the special character via the "Source editor" if you are editing the page. You can also delete this character there.

You can check the confluence page history in the confluence page and by clicking on the three dots and then on "page History", it is there where you will have all the versions made on your page available and you can use one of the previous versions, the current one, delete them, compare them...

![Confluence Page History.PNG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/127115i951CE8CFA32C91DC/image-dimensions/455x173?v=v2 "Confluence Page History.PNG")

Welcome to Atlassian community!

I tried your problem and it happened to me for the first time (I have Atlassian Cloud free plan). But when I inserted the attachment via ... -\> Attachments, then the macro started working. On the newly created page, the macro already works as it should. Please try deleting the macro from your page, saving the page and then re-inserting the macro.

comments: author: Megan Yang
body: oh god thanks a lot. This is not the right solution, but when i was following your suggestion, i realized my stupid mistakes. I put some label names in the " write attachment label to filter by" - as i thought i was adding labels to the attachment. yet, its to filter the label.. as the attachment documents does not carry labels, they got filtered out, ergo, disappear from the macro. i am speechless... was it me? or was it the person who designed this confusing option for macro..

Does Confluence offer an API to embed your content in a CMS (WP, Joolma, Drupal)?
Asked by Fabr?cio Valle:

At <https://bsscommerce.com/confluence/> we have a directory / confluence with a Knowledge Base. But this site was made with WordPress (and therefore the directory is also WP).  
In the WP plugins directory there is a plugin called "Enterprise Knowledge Base Software" that makes a single reference to our Confluence: "Compare it to Zendesk, Helpjuice, Confluence and others".  
So I ask: is the BSSCommerce site just a well-known Knowledge Base service name or does Confluence offer an API for any site to incorporate the content of the "Confluence" Knowledge Base/


Answers:
author: Bill Bailey
body: Not exactly clear what you are asking, but you could create a knowledge base for your customers using Confluence, and then direct them to that URL. Unfortunately, Cloud does not yet support custom domains, so not as slick as simply creating a subdomain. Server would be a better option for that (but hurry as they are not selling any more licenses past Feb 2nd).

comments: author: Fabr?cio Valle
body: Thanks for your response.  
I found content related to this issue right here in the community. There are several links and one of them is this one: <https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Does-Confluence-Server-Supports-API-Token/qaq-p/1419675>  
And the other is this: <https://developer.atlassian.com/server/confluence/confluence-rest-api-examples/>  
I believe that what I want can be achieved via API.  
I will deepen my research in this direction


author: Bill Bailey
body: Well you can always export as HTML manually,

There is also a commercial plugin for publishing to WP. [scroll-wp-publisher](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1215816/scroll-wp-publisher?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) . I have not used this plugin (as I hate WP), but I have used other plugins from this vendor.

They also have this plugin that may do exactly what you want: [scroll-viewport-for-confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211636/scroll-viewport-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview)


author: Sadiqabad Activities
body: Yes, Confluence has an API that lets you add its information to a CMS like WordPress, Joomla, or Drupal. With the API, you can easily add Confluence's content to your CMS of choice and [improve the way](https://calculatepoint.com/) your website works. Check Confluence's documentation for more information on how to add material using their API.

Disable Email notifications to users everytime a page is added
Asked by Pansilu Diegayu Wickramasinghe:

I have a bunch of pages (articles) I have to add to my space on confluence and I don't want to send an email to everyone notifying about the page I just added each time.

How can I disable email notifications to my users so they won't get notified when I add a new page?


Answers:
author: NIROSHAN MADAMPITIGE
body: Hey [@Pansilu Diegayu Wickramasinghe](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4198362)!

The around this is to use the feature - "Manage Watchers" : Click the link below to see how Manage Watchers feature works.

<https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/manage-watchers/>

If you are a space admin, you will be able to remove a user by clicking on the little trash can next to their name. I look forward to hearing whether that works for you. This way, you don't send the notifications to those who don't expect the notifications - What if you need to notify certain people. So, you can set watchers for space, segment or a page. Please use the following steps:

To remove watchers!

Go to the page, blog post, or space to which you'd like to add watchers.  
Click Watch (

<br />

) \> Manage Watchers.  
Click Remove next to their name.  
You may check the Jira issue resolved on the same here:

<https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-22313>

Hope this helps!


author: Pramodh M
body: Hi [@Pansilu Diegayu Wickramasinghe](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4198362)

Go to space you are adding a page, click on manage watchers section and Space option lets you choose members to be notified when something changes in space, you can remove members there if they don't want to be notified

How to create a form in Confluence for free
Asked by Marina Peralta Olano:

I would like to create a simple form in Confluence to be able to approve/reject requests for publishing new data into the page. Is there an easy way or template to implement it without the need of embedding a 3rd party software?

Thank you,


Answers:
author: Clark Everson
body: Hi [@Marina Peralta Olano](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4235677) ,

welcome to the community. Unfortunately this isn't a feature confluence has natively. There are some third party apps that do this like approvals for confluence: [https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1216387/approvals-for-confluence?hosting=cloud\&tab=overview](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1216387/approvals-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview)

now without using an app, you would either need to have people create their content in a different space that you could make that's like a draft space, that once it got approved the article got moved to the other space. In the non draft space you could limit who has the ability to edit/add pages.   
otherwise you would do this via process documents and feedback.

hope this helps, sorry got my poor capitalization, as I'm on my phone.

best,

Clark

Confluence Cloud - "Paragraph" style missing
Asked by Joe Bloggs:

On some pages I have "Paragraph" which I like, but on some pages I have "Normal Text" bigger less dense more white-space, don't like it at all. Copying, paragraph is not in the drop down and copying "paragraph" text into a "non-paragraph" page converts it into "normal text". It's driving me crazy. Any ideas?


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hey there [@Joe Bloggs](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1080218) !

The difference that you noticed is because you are dealing with two different editors in Confluence.
> * *The editor that does have the text format called "Paragraph" is our Legacy Editor, tinyMCE.*
> * *The editor that does not have "Paragraph" but instead used "Normal" is our New Editor, Fabric.*

Here we have two screenshots for you to check:

Search Trello Cards based on either card name or card description
Asked by Gmanik446:

I have a requirement where user gives some text and I want to fetch all Trello cards which are having user entered text either in card name or card description. I found this [Trello Rest API Search Documentation](https://developers.trello.com/reference/#search) to search Trello cards. After I have gone through the documentation I constructed below API calls to filter Trello cards.

**API 1:** This fetches all Trello cards that contains **`XYZ`** in their card description.

    https://api.trello.com/1/search?query=description:"XYZ"&partial=true&modelTypes=cards&board_fields=name&card_fields=name&list_fields=name&cards_limit=90&card_board=true&card_list=true&token=AccessToken&key=AppKey

**API 2:** This fetches all Trello cards that contains **`XYZ`** in their card name.

    https://api.trello.com/1/search?query=name:"XYZ"&partial=true&modelTypes=cards&board_fields=name&card_fields=name&list_fields=name&cards_limit=90&card_board=true&card_list=true&token=AccessToken&key=AppKey

If I union `API 1` and `API 2` responses, then it gives all Trello cards which are having **`XYZ`** either in card name or in card description. I just wanted to know, this is the only way I can finish my requirement or is there other way/any direct Trello Rest API to accomplish my task.

Any suggestions/solutions more than welcome. Thanks in Advance.
