how to uninstall sourcetree without control panel?
Asked by Al Mo3allem:

I have an issue where I installed sourcetree a while back, then upgraded to windows 10 and that had some drive letters changed. Now I can neither use sourcetree as I used to, nor can I uninstall and reinstall it. Is there a way to remove the installation without having to refer to the drive letter?


Answers:
author: Seth
body: Someone here might know, but the problem sounds like it is outside of the typical uninstaller capability. You might have more luck asking on some sort of Windows Admin forum. The solution may involve some registry hacks or something.

Restore status bar that was removed in SourceTree 2.2
Asked by Hendrik Wouters:

Since the upgrade to SourceTree 2.2, I'm missing teh status bar at the bottom of the window.

I used this to quickly see whether I have merge conflicts or untracked files.

Could you please restore this functionality?


Answers:
author: romanroan
body: It is a huge UX problem. without it there is no way of knowing if it's still refreshing remote repository status or finished.

Atlassian need to test SourceTree on simulated slow internet connection and it will be immediately obvious that without status bar you have no way of knowing the status of refresh operation.

comments: author: Beric Holt
body: I also find that without the status bar I'm never sure if I'm working in a subproject with a detached head. Very frustrating
Impossible to initialise repository for Git Flow
Asked by picks:

I've recently changed my computer, so I downloaded the new SourceTree software, cloned one of my repository stored on BitBucket, and tried to initialise a Git Flow, but the process failed without any error, except this :

"sh.exe "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Atlassian\\SourceTree\\AppData\\Local\\Atlassian\\SourceTree\\gitflow_local\\gitflow\\git-flow" init -d

Completed with errors, see above."

I also tried with another migrated repository, and tried to start a new Git Hotfix, but I had the same kind of error.

What's wrong ?


Answers:
author: wingzero0
body: I got the same error.

As a workaround. I open terminal (in windows, it would be a git bash terminal) to key-in the command directly.

```
git-flow init -d
```

Merge then commit causes freeze in new version

Where to find max file descriptor value in terminal
Asked by Enrico Jr. Rongavilla:

Hi Team,

We have confluence 8.3.2 DC. Is there any directory which I can find the value of max file descriptor besides downloading support zip file?


Answers:
author: Sayed Bares [ServiceRocket]
body: To see the value, you'd just need to run **ulimit -Sn** for soft limit and **ulimit -Hn** for hard limit(Confluence shows the hard limit in the support zip). You can change this value permanently from **/etc/security/limits.conf** file (make sure to set the value for the user who is running the Confluence)

comments: author: Enrico Jr. Rongavilla
body: Hi Sayed ,

Thank you for your quick response really appreciate it. Sorry if my question is a bit confusing we run confluence as a service and all our config is on puppet. I just changed the value of limits.conf now the question is is there any way which I can verify the changed has been applied on terminal besides downloading support zip?

'Share/tiny link' as default in web browser address bar
Asked by Thomas Engler:

Hi everyone, is there an option to adjust the Confluence instance for it to show the 'share/tiny link' as default in the web browser's address bar?

Currently the URL in the address bar is built upon the title of the space and page and therefore changes. Would there be an option to adjust this to use the share/tiny link instead?  

So instead of this format:  
[https://confluence.company.com/display/\[Space\]/\[Page Title\]](https://confluence.company.com/display/[Space]/[Page)

We would love to set this format as default:  
[https://confluence.company.com/x/Tiny](https://confluence.company.com/display/[PageID/Tiny) Link\]

I'm also keen to hear feedback on that for the Cloud version of Confluence, hence we plan to migrate to Cloud in the future.

@mention for guest users
Asked by Katrijn:

Hi,

We experienced that we ALWAYS have to **mention** a **guest user** in order for them to receive an email notification. Apparently it's not enough to make them a space or page watcher.

Is this correct, or am I doing something wrong?

Regards, Katrijn


Answers:
author: Alex Koxaras _Relational_
body: Hi [@Katrijn](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4279767)

Please refer to this documentation about what guests can do <https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/what-can-guests-see-and-do-on-confluence/#What-can-guests-do-in-Confluence>

comments: author: Katrijn
body: Hi Alex, thank you for your input, which was very interesting. However, the article doesn't say anything about the need to mention a guest or not. Do you have a clue?


author: Alex Koxaras _Relational_
body: [@Katrijn](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4279767) they should be able to get notifications if they watch the page. Don't think that you have to mention them. Can you verify that the guests users are watching the page/space?


author: Katrijn
body: Yes, I can confirm they've been added as watchers, but that they don't receive the email notification if they're not mentionned.


author: Alex Koxaras _Relational_
body: [@Katrijn](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4279767) indeed, I can confirm that guests do not receive notifications for page updates, which kind of seems like a bug to me. Try to report it at support.atlassian.com/contact

I want to use an old editor
Asked by succeeding:

I want to use an old editor, please.


Answers:
author: Matthias Gaiser _K15t_
body: Hey [@succeeding](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5311630)

welcome to the Atlassian Community.

Here's an interesting thread with more details for you, I believe: <https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Switch-to-old-Editor-possible/qaq-p/1104580>

It lists two approaches:

* Contact support (which is not possible for you with a free license)
* Copy a page which uses the old editor and use this one.

Hope that helps,  
Matthias.

PS: If you rather want to get some help in using the new editor, I can recommend [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHWMoQWTvfE) made by my colleagues.

comments: author: succeeding
body: Thanks for the help.

I want to solve it with the second approaches.

But, I don't have a page which uses old editor.

Is it possible to get a sample page? I've tried searching but can't find it.


author: Matthias Gaiser _K15t_
body: You're welcome, [@succeeding](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5311630).

I've just created a space and copied a page with the old editor into it. You can [download the csv export here](https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/4yyjvkvbbzy48r34eejie/csv-export-old-editor.zip?rlkey=gjptxivpbbxd6xs05zclnmq9r&dl=1) and import it into your Cloud instance as detailed in [these Atlassian docs](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/import-a-confluence-cloud-space/#Import-the-space-content-to-the-destination-site).

I hope that helps. Keep in mind though that eventually the old editor will go away (I assume).

Images in a confluence page are not exported in Word
Asked by Soyeon Kim:

I tried to export a confluence page with lots of images (screenshots) into a word file, but like half of them are not exported. I only get a blank image with a message saying "The linked image cannot be displayed. The file may have been moved, renamed, or deleted. Verify that the link points to the correct file and location."

The thing is, this issue happens every time I export a confluence page in Word.

Jira macro in migrated pages does not work
Asked by dmcleanbkin:

I have many pages in my confluence server instance that use the jira issue macro. When I migrate to cloud all of those macros are broken. I do have a migrated and linked jira instance in the cloud as well. So when I make new jira issue macros they work properly (even when pointing to the same tickets as the macros that do not work).

Is there anything that can be done to make these pages migrate properly? Or is this something that needs to be fixed post migration? Hopefully there is an automated way to fix this?

Migrating from Data Center to Cloud - Users question
Asked by Eli Golden:

Hi there!  

We are about to test migrating our Confluence data center to Confluence Cloud using Atlassian Cloud Migration Assistant.   

Our Confluence Data Center currently has \~400 users.  

My dream: migrate only our data, no users. I understand from reading the boards that this is not possible.  

In our Data Center, If I disable the current user directory and create a new local directory which ONLY has my user, would only my user migrate?   

Follow up Q: if this is not possible and I DO have to migrate all users, will they get notifications/emails alerting them? In an ideal world, no - I can do my migration testing without alerting my users.   

Thank you!


Answers:
author: Sagar
body: Hi [@Eli Golden](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5311477) In Confluence content is associated with users like creator. contributor etc so you need to migrate the users as well to Cloud.

Even if you disable the users when spaces and pages are migrated users will also get migrated.

You don't need to migrate all the users if they don't have any data associated to them like Page created, Page contributor, Page comment, Tagged in the page comment, page etc.

You can ask Atlassian to disable the outgoing mail when you migrate the data if you are not doing that on production or may be disable all these users in Datacenter and check if they will be disable in Cloud after migration as mail will not be send to disable users

Upgrade Confluence from 8.1.0 to 8.5 LTS and Upgrade PostgreSQL
Asked by Dan Long:

*** ** * ** ***

We're running Confluence v.8.1.0 with PostgreSQL 9.2.25. We are planning to first upgrade PostgreSQL to 14 (**or can we go to PostgreSQL 15.x? which isn't officially supported by Atlassian** ). After the DB upgrade, we plan on upgrading Confluence. The question: **Can we upgrade from 8.1.0 directly to 8.5 LTS** ? *Or do we have to upgrade incrementally*? From 8.1.0 to 8.2.3 (as recommended by the "Plan you upgrade" page from inside Confluence under Administration) and then whatever is next recommended by "Plan you upgrade"?

Thank you in advance!


Answers:
author: Sagar
body: Hi [@Dan Long](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4551127) You can directly upgrade the Confluence from 8.1.0 to 8.5 and does not require any incremental upgrade. but you need to upgrade the postgres to either 12,13, or 14 as only these versions are supported to Confluence version 8.5

If you upgraded PostgreSQL to v15 and connected it to Confluence 8.5 you might get an error that database version is not supported and please use the lower version of Confluence.

Team Calendars macro/widget not displayed correctly in a Vertical Tab, works fine if Horizontal
Asked by John Arrowwood:

I'm creating a status-related page with a number of topics separated out as tabs. For what I'm building, I would greatly prefer to use a vertical tab for this particular page.

But I'm finding that the calendar macro/widget refuses to be full width in the remaining space if the tabs are vertical. It renders fine if it is horizontal.

Example:

{ Tabs Container \| direction = horizontal }  
{ Tabs Page \| title = Calendar }  
{ Panel \| title = Calendar }  
{ Team Calendars \| myCalendar }  
{/Panel}{/Tabs Page}{/Tabs Container}

Renders full width, like this:

++Calendar++ +------------------------------------------------------------------+  
\| calendar contents \|  
+------------------------------------------------------------------+  
Whereas:

{ Tabs Container \| direction = vertical } \<\<=== only change  
{ Tabs Page \| title = Calendar }  
{ Panel \| title = Calendar }  
{ Team Calendars \| myCalendar }  
{/Panel}{/Tabs Page}{/Tabs Container}

<br />

Renders as narrow as possible, like so:

<br />

Calendar \| +-------------------+ \< unnecessary whitespace \>  
\| \| calendar contents \|  
\| +-------------------+

Is this a bug? Is there a workaround?


Answers:
author: Dan Breyen
body: Hi John, you don't mention if you are using Confluence Server or Confluence Cloud. If you are on Server, are you using the latest software?

I took a look at Atlassian's Jira site (jira.atlassian.com) and didn't find anything specific regarding this issue. You don't have any screen shots of what you're experiencing, but if you are on Cloud or the latest server, this sounds like an issue that you may want to contact support with to get their feedback. You can contact them at support.atlassian.com/contact.

Hope that helps.

comments: author: John Arrowwood
body: I don't actually know, though I assume it is hosted on our network. I didn't take a screenshot because I didn't want to go through all the work of creating a calendar that doesn't contain non-public information, so I just added some ASCII-art to explain what I'm seeing. Hope that helps.

Comala data with page data - via CQL,REST or SQL
Asked by Normann P_ Nielsen _Netic_:

Hi,

I am working on creating a field (or fields) in Jira (Elements), to lookup ISO pages in Confluence.

Now - As Comala has stated that the CQL search does NOT have the page details (document id, resposible etc etc) - I cant just use a REST to CQL in confluence, as I cant get the document id.

So I have 2 options - unless You have a better:

1. Create a Confluence REST in Scriptrunner, that provides data - this is a problem, because I first have to find all documents and then for each query for the Comala specifics - we have tried that, its slow !

2. So I do think I need to look directly into the SQL database (read only) for pages joined with comala data... and return that.

So - Can You assist with some good advise, please do - or anyone with similar issue?


Answers:
author: Nino Stana
body: Hello Normann,  
Thanks for reaching out.

If you want to find pages that have a comala workflow linked to them, you could simply do a CQL for the space name and "hasworkflow=true.".

If you want to search for specific content on the pages, I think option #2 that you mentioned would be the way to do it; I can't think of anything better in this case.

However, I recommend you open a ticket in our JSD here:  
**<https://comalatech.jira.com/servicedesk/customer/portal/1>**

This way, we could ask you for more details about precisely what you want to achieve and involve more team members to see the best way to do this.

Best Regards,  
Nino
