Unable to edit the pages created from template
Asked by neetubhatt:

HI ,

I am creating multiple pages from templates of another space . Once the page tree is created in current space when I am trying to edit any of the pages from page tree I am getting navigated to empty page .Any idea why I am getting this issue or any fix needed for this .

```
 Page pageRetro = new Page();
 pageRetro.setTitle(wikiManager.getPageTemplate("Retrospectives").getTitle());
 String templateRetro = wikiManager.getPageTemplate("Retrospectives").getContent();
 pageRetro.setBodyAsString(templateRetro);
 wikiManager.addPage(pageRetro, pageTW, space.getKey());

pageManager.saveContentEntity(TWHomePage, null);
```

Above is the sample code of how i am creating pages from template. I am using confluence 7.4.6 version .

Archive a old Space
Asked by Nilan Dias:

How do I archive/export a Confluence Space in SharePoint site? With all content


Answers:
author: Kishan Sharma
body: Hi Nilan, exporting confluence pages as PDFs and uploading them to sharepoint is easy, is that what you are looking for ?

comments: author: Nilan Dias
body: Looking for a way to archive all the content without exporting one by one. Entire Confluence Space and Jira Project


author: Kishan Sharma
body: If you are going to need the confluence space again, you can archive the space on cloud itself by going to Space Settings?Overview?Archive Space, this way you can restore the space in case you need it in future.

If you are trying to create just a backup, then export the space to XML/PDF/HTML and upload it to sharepoint to have a backup copy, you can always restore it to cloud in future.

For Jira cloud, you can refer [this link](https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs/export-issues/) you will need to export your entire cloud site and keep the backup locally and restore it later (you can chose which projects to restore) during the import in other site.

Custom header
Asked by Manonmani:

Hi,

I want to add a custom header on the space and it has to come into the word when I export word file.


Answers:
author: Carlos Garcia Navarro
body: Hi [@Manonmani](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4542764) ,

In space settings-\> Look and Feel-\> 'Header and footer' you can add a header:

Merge two confluence instances
Asked by Christy Lutz:

I'm looking for a way to merge two confluence instances together. Both are cloud.

I tried exporting and importing a space, using this method: <https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/import-a-confluence-cloud-space/>

I exported to XML, as suggested in the doc.

After I imported, the links between pages in the imported space still referred back to the pages in the original instance, instead of updating.

* Is there an easier way to merge two confluence instances where the links will update?
* Some images didn't import. Is there a reason for this?


Answers:
author: Christy Lutz
body: Also, some images imported and some didn't. Is there a reason this would happen during an import?

What version of Confluence am I using?
Asked by Carl Yorke:

I just got to this company and Confluence looks old. I can't find a version number.


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: For Server and DC, it is usually shown in the footer at the bottom of every page, but if that has been turned off, you can still always look to the top right for "help (?) -\> About Confluence" in the menu bar near to your profile icon.

You did select "Cloud" as your type though, and if that is true, then the answer is simply "latest"

In reality, that's also "give or take 5-8 weeks" as it takes time to roll the latest version out to everyone, but you won't be more than a few weeks behind at most. You can fetch the exact build version from the REST API, but it doesn't really tell you anything, because you have little control over it and even where you do, it's not going to affect what you're doing.


author: Mikael Sandberg
body: Hi [@Carl Yorke](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4526630),

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

Confluence Cloud doesn't have a version, you will always be on the latest version, unless you are on the Premium plan and selected the Bundled track, <https://support.atlassian.com/organization-administration/docs/manage-product-release-tracks/>

Can you assign a group to only see and edit pages that are published within a certain space?
Asked by Justin Christopherson:

I have a group in confluence that I would like to be able to add attachments to pages but can not see pages unless they are published. Is this possible?


Answers:
author: Mike Rink
body: [@Justin Christopherson](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4505597) sounds like an interesting use case you have. Comala Document Management Cloud shows the byline (page state) to anyone who has permissions to edit pages in the Space. In cases like yours, where you want more separation between draft and published content, we typically recommend another of our apps, [Comala Publishing](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/143/comala-publishing?hosting=cloud&tab=overview). That way your draft and published content is kept in different spaces, and you can tweak permissions as necessary.   

Hopefully this helps, but certainly happy to help if you have questions about Publishing.

comments: author: Justin Christopherson

Ok I will look into Comala Publishing, but is there any work around to the 30Mb attachment limit?

comments: author: Justin Christopherson
body: Thanks for the reply

I did read through these prior to posting here but maybe I am still missing the appropriate section. I just noticed that when I revoke the permission to create pages in the space, the person can no longer see the page status at the top.

I have attached a group to the space that will receive limited permission but I need them to either be able to see the page status or not see the page at all until it is published


author: Kishan Sharma
body: Hi [@Justin Christopherson](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4505597) when you say page status, are you using any plugin /third party app to tag the page status of your confluence pages ?


author: Justin Christopherson

I am using Comala Document management (Technical Documentation Workflow)

Search / Filter on custom field (date) not working
Asked by Colin Kuecherer:

I have enabled the Custom Fields power-up - and created a new field with Date format - I assign a date to all of my card in this field, but the search does not find this value all of the time. I will have 10 cards that have the same date Oct 3 (or in a different language format 3 Oct) and the search may only find 1 or 2 ..

Any ideas?


Answers:
author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Colin Kuecherer](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3574515) there doesn't appear to be any match based on custom field date value. I think that what you're seeing is a title or text field match, that's why you're seeing 1 or 2 but not the rest.

comments: author: Colin Kuecherer
body: Yeah, you are probably right.

any way to enable this? Or suggestions? I am trying to track and retain a date value for when a card reaches a specific lane and then keep that date available to search/filter in throughout the card lifecycle.

Currently using butler to fill the date automatically when a card hits lane x...

thanks


author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Colin Kuecherer](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3574515) okay so if I understand correctly, what you want to be able to do is say something like "show me cards that hit list X on date Y" right?

The only way to filter cards on a board is using due date, so if you're using due date for something else then you're out of luck.

However there are a couple of solutions that I can think of that might give you something close to what you want.

The first is to have a daily Butler report that gives you a list of all cards that have a custom field date set to a fixed time prior to today:

<https://help.trello.com/article/1192-creating-reports-with-butler>

I haven't done much work with Butler reports but it looks like this should be possible, it depends on how flexible the date arithmetic is for custom fields. Then you'd be able to find that report in your email when you wanted to see that list of cards.

Another kind of zany solution would be something like this:

Create a card in a list over on the right something like "Find Cards by Moved Date" or something, then have a Trellinator command like this that will move cards to the top of their current list which have a custom field matching the date you select:

<https://gist.github.com/iaindooley/0fc3eecc62f1ef20e144cea3d1fb048d>

You could also do something like apply a label to those cards like "TIMESTAMP filter" which you could then filter on and delete afterwards if you wanted to preserve the vertical order of cards in their lists.

You can read more about Trellinator here:

<https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Marketplace-Apps-Integrations/Introducing-Trellinator-Automate-Trello-with-Google-Apps-Script/ba-p/925271>


author: Colin Kuecherer
body: Yes, you understand correctly-Thanks for the suggestions. I will have to play around a bit more I guess.

seems like such a simple task to search on date custom field..
Using the same space to display INCLUDE+ macro results of a child page based on user input
Asked by Sandra Lawrence:

I have a series of child pages that hold files for a parent page. On the parent page, I use "UI Children" to display all the child pages (it is just a link).

I would like to take this a step further - what a user clicks on one of those UI Child links, I would like to display all files on that page using the INCLUDE+ or something.

Since I have 6 child pages, showing all child page info at one time on the parent page is overwhelming.

Question - is there a what I can display only one INCLUDE+ in a common area on the main page based upon what child page the user wants to see?


Answers:
author: Matt Reiner [K15t]
body: Hi [@Sandra Lawrence](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4448641)

Maybe you could use 6 expand macros on your main page, and put the Include+macros inside of them. Then your readers would see a lot of 6 links and click just 1 to expand the full list of files from that page.

Action Report

Answers:
author: Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}
body: Hi [@John Hyde](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4538152) ,

You may use our [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) app and its [Table Filter](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Filter+macro) macro - wrap your Task Report macro into the Table Filter macro body and filter your tasks by the "Empty" assignee field:

Hope this helps your case.


author: Jacob Vu
body: Hi [@John Hyde](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4538152)

Is Action items an issue type that you have in your Jira instance? You could use a JQL filter, for example (somewhat pseudo JQL): 'issue type = action item' AND assignee is EMPTY

Hope that helps.

Export from excel to a template

Table Excerpt Shows Links Incorrectly
Asked by Murray Crease:

I have a number of pages that have a status table on them. This table contains things like a RAG status and a little commentary. I put these tables into a Table Excerpt macro named Status.

I have a parent page that has a Table Excerpt Include macro that looks for all Table Excerpts names Status on pages with a specific label. This all works fine.

The issue I have is that to be able to navigate to the individual pages from the parent page I added a column to each of the status tables with a link to the page it is on. In the parent page this column is correctly shown with the link to the individual pages but the link (which shows the right text in each row) always points to the page in the last row of the table.

I tried adding the link in a different column on one page and all the links in the table - including the one in a different column - point to the last page.

Has anyone else seen this problem? Is there are workaround or a different way I could do this? Or is it a bug with the Table Excerpt Include macro?

Thanks in advance for any help.


Answers:
author: Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}
body: Hi [@Murray Crease](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4541907) ,

As I understand, you add a manually created column with a page link to every mini-table that you collect.

Try to use the automatic meta data option that is provided with the [Table Excerpt Include](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Excerpt+and+Table+Excerpt+Include+macros#HowtouseTableExcerptandTableExcerptIncludemacros-UsingtheTableExcerptIncludeMacro) macro:

With this option you'll be able to collect plenty of additional information about your source pages automatically:

* page
* parent page
* space
* labels
* excerpt
* author
* last modifier
* created
* updated

Please try this option and see if the issue persists. If yes, please, [raise a support request here](https://jsd.stiltsoft.com/servicedesk/customer/portal/2/user/login?destination=portal%2F2), attach the screenshots of the source and combined tables - we'll troubleshoot the issue.
