Personal space in Confluence - Create with restrictions
Asked by Michele Longoria:

When creating personal spaces in confluence, is there a way that it can be created as restricted for only that person?


Answers:
author: Andy Gladstone
body: [@Michele Longoria](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4628890) Welcome to Confluence Cloud!

Are you referring to the auto-created Personal Spaces that are a new feature in Cloud, or the user creating it themselves? Really it is one in the same. The user that creates the space has admin rights over it and can click on the Space Settings in the left hand navigation bar to update them to make it truly private.

There is no way to set that up without the manual intervention.

How could I create a dashboard that displays burn reports for all teams?
Asked by Phil Bustin:

How could I create a dashboard that displays burn reports for all teams?


Answers:
author: Phil Bustin

In case you are looking for doing the same in confluence only. Then I am not sure how to do burn down dashboards but here is some interesting tutorial on project management dashboards, on similar lines you should be able to achieve your requirements.

* [Confluence-Tutorial-Your-First-Project-Management-Dashboard](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-articles/Confluence-Tutorial-Your-First-Project-Management-Dashboard/ba-p/818105)

Also, there are some paid apps available in Market place which might also help you. Quick search gave me this result.

author: Srinatha T
body: Hi [@Phil Bustin](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4843891) ,

Welcome to Atlassian community.

This can be done in Jira. You can use the standard Burn Down Chart in Jira Software, but you have to configure the estimation statistics and the time tracking accordingly.

Have a look at this guide which has all the steps:

* [configuring-estimation-and-tracking](https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirasoftwareserver/configuring-estimation-and-tracking-938845319.html)

Then, you can insert the Burn Down Chart to a Jira dashboard using the corresponding Sprint Burndown Gadget. Below is the guide

* [using-the-sprint-burndown-gadget](https://confluence.atlassian.com/agile064/jira-agile-user-s-guide/using-the-jira-agile-gadgets/using-the-sprint-burndown-gadget)

I hope the above information helps. Have a good day.!

form layout not working
Asked by Philip Domenico:

confiform custom or default layout not displaying


Answers:
author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Hi [@Philip Domenico](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4789085)

Welcome to this community!

Interesting statement... Do you mind sharing what custom layout in ConfiForms do you have and how is it configured?

Alex

comments: author: Philip Domenico
body: Hi Alex, I actually didn't realize that I was submitting a question when I did it.

thanks for responding.

1) When I configure the FORM definition, I put instructional text between the fields. This text (or table, etc.) will not display when I put a Form Registration on this or another page.

2) I do have an IFTTT control - which I can not put in the Form definition. I assume this is because I'm using the Cloud version.

3) I have tried to override the default layout with a customer layout; adding the same fields as the above Form Definition, into the Form Registration.

I am having some luck with using a custom (form registration over-ride, but that is costing me twice the work.

Any direction is appreciated.  
thanks,  
Phil


author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Hi

Custom layouts in ConfiForms are defined by using the ConfiForms Registrations Control (FormView) macro, see <https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/FORMS/Creating+a+form+view+with+custom+layout>

And not in Form/Field definitions - these are only configuration

ConfiForms IFTTTs on cloud version with "new editor" cannot be placed inside the ConfiForms Form Definition macro, as this fancy editor does not support nesting of bodied macros (which we really need here)

But we have created a workaround that allows you to put these macros outside and link them via form name parameter

Upgrade failed to start after upgrade - SQLServerException
Asked by Darren Taylor:

After upgrade from v7.5 to v7.16 we are seeing a SQL error when trying to start Confluence. Error is as follows:

Is there any method for updating existing pages made from a template, if the template is updated?
Asked by Ennio:

For example,

* A template is created on Oct 1 with 4 sections.
* 20 pages are created using the Oct 1 template
* On Nov 1, a 5th section is added to the Oct 1 template.
* How can the already existing 20 pages, created with the Oct 1, 4 section template, be updated to reflect the Nov 1 change inclusive of the 5th section?
* I dont want to have to manually update the existing 20 pages.
* I was thinking blueprints would do this but that does not seem to be the case.

Any solutions out there?


Answers:
author: Mervyn Toh
body: There is no easy way to accomplish this. The easiest method will be using the [Confluence REST API](https://docs.atlassian.com/atlassian-confluence/REST/6.6.0/) to update the pages.

Else you can try look for Confluence app to update the pages. One Confluence app I've found that allows pages to be updated dynamically is [Scaffolding Forms \& Templates](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/190/scaffolding-forms-templates).


author: Stefan Froehlich
body: [@Ennio](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1090678) Hi Ennio, we literally had the very same question / discussion around it.

Did you find a solution to this in the end?

Import a file but full screen
Asked by Laurie Huth:

I have a file (Word document that includes tables and bolded text). I want it to appear full screen in Confluence automatically. However, insert via 'File and Images' just creates a little image of it that you have to click on. Copying and pasting from Word into Confluence cause the bolding and colored text not to always transfer over. Click on the three dots and then importing as Word doc doesn't bring over the correct formatting either (plus I don't want it on a different page).

**How can I embed the formatted Word doc into the Confluence page full screen?**

Note: I am open to converting it into other formats (like a .pdf) if that will work, too.

I like how you can insert .png and .jpg and then adjust the size. That would be the most ideal. See picture below.

![Screenshot 2022-03-29 140735n.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/190540iB95381AA42C9A41B/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screenshot 2022-03-29 140735n.png")

However, you aren't able to do that with .doc or .pdf; these you just get the small, med, or large options.


Answers:
author: Srinatha T
body: [@Laurie Huth](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4825705) ,

You might want to try PPT, EXCEL and PDF macros as well. They also do the same thing. You might want experiment all and check which format best suites for you. If you want full screen then the only option i am aware of is by viewing the attachment. Since you are viewing something on a page, thats how it will look.


author: Srinatha T
body: Hi [@Laurie Huth](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4825705) ,

Time Zone uses in Contiforms
Asked by Jackie Craine:

Confluence keeps pushing the default EDT on my TableView. Even tough my contiform is set require 3-digit time zone.

Date formatting pattern is set to : MM/dd/yy h:mm z

When a new training is created entering an event with timezone CDT it keeps converting it EDT on the Tableview.

![Screenshot 2022-03-29 124700.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/190535iA5A54D2EE6C39DFA/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screenshot 2022-03-29 124700.png")


Answers:
author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Hi

Just to confirm, this is about cloud ConfiForms, right? (at least the question is tagged that way)

And you see that the datetime value is shown in an incorrect timezone? Is only the timezone value is incorrect or the value itself is also incorrect also

Alex

comments: author: Jackie Craine
body: Now that I think about it, I believe our servers are located in EDT, which would explain why its defaulting to EDT. But I want the date to reflect the time zone where the training would take place.

below is how it automatically populates the date interval in the ContiForm using the formatting above. (My user profile time zone is set to CDT) which is why the time is not reflecting the 8a-5p. Which makes me think I need to remove the check mark.

![Screenshot 2022-03-31 133517.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/190952i7B5A159097FE4B7E/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screenshot 2022-03-31 133517.png")


author: Jackie Craine
body: I forgot to mention: When I first created the training entry, I used 8a to 5p CDT.

It automatically adjusted the time to 9a to 6 pm EDT.

If I take off the convert to user profile time zone it changes the time to 10a to 7pm EDT.


author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: The question is tagged as for "cloud", that is why I ask.

As this helps me to understand where to look - is it a server/dc version of ConfiForms or cloud

Does the url ends with atlassian.net?

Are Webhooks Supported for Confluence?
Asked by Sanel Hadzini:

Greetings,

I have noticed that the Confluence cloud ([here](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/intro/#status-code)) does not have a documentation stated for webhooks via oAuth.

How do I know if there are syntax errors in a user macro?
Asked by M?kel Rodr?guez Dom?nguez:

I'm writing a Confluence user macro and whenever I make a syntax error, the macro just stops showing up on the screen but I can't see anything in the Confluence log or anywhere else. So, how am I supposed to know what syntax error I have made?


Answers:
author: Bill Bailey
body: Hello [@M?kel Rodr?guez Dom?nguez](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1840873) . As a fellow user macro enthusiast, I understand your pain. You have a few options, some more painful than others:

* I use Notepad++ with a Velocity module. Not perfect, but it can make it easier to see missing parentheses.
* I have tried using an IDE as it does tru syntax checking, but has a lot of overhead.
* Setting up a plugin development environment. Seems a strange thing to do, but it does make sense as it spins up a local instance of Confluence, plus you get a console. As you add a user macro, you will see messages in the console that will indicate a syntax error (or incorrect object reference). The upside of this environment is that it allows you to package your user macros as a plugin for easier distribution (plus other features).

Generally, I build my macros up slowly, often creating small macros to just test one function.

Lastly, you can always started another question for the community to try to find what you can't see (so hard to see your own errors -- I know).

comments: author: M?kel Rodr?guez Dom?nguez
body: That's my problem, I've already set up a Confluence instance in my computer, I run it directly from Eclipse inside of a Tomcat server, and when there is an error rendering the macro, I look at the console and it's completely silent. I see no stack traces whatsoever. I've already configured log4j so that the root logger is INFO level and I've removed all specific loggers so that the INFO level applies to everything, and still I can't see any errors when I render the macro on a page. I see millions of messages as I've chosen a very verbose root logging level, but nothing related to the macro itself. Could you give me please some insight on what's happening to me? It's mind-boggling isn't it?

Pausing gif images
Asked by Jitse Born:

On a page where a lot of gifs appear (blog pages) it can become really busy. For people with a visual impairment it's impossible to read this pages.

Sorry I could not help much here and even searching in the marketplace yielded no results for this.

Single variants displayed when published multiple viewports from a single space
Asked by Maria Petkova:

Hello,

I am pretty new to Confluence and was very surprised (if I am right) that from a single space, I can't create multiple viewports that display all space versions but only one of its variants. At least, I can't handle it.  
Now I am searching for a decision to this problem.  
To summarize. I will have a versioning space for a Help page and some customer-specific parts within all the space (variants). I will publish the Help page with all space's versions on several separate URLs for each client.  
Any suggestions on how to do this?

Moreover, do you know if the Show if macro, configured on a password, is usable via Scroll Viewport? I mean, instead of space variants, could I use the macro (space published via Scroll Viewport) as an info filter based on the website login credentials of the clients. And actually, the clients that will use the Help page will not have a Confluence account. So the password will be on the website level.


Answers:
author: David _K15t_
body: Hi Maria!

This is David from K15t, it seems like your questions involve a couple Scroll Apps by K15t.

The variants feature and how it's supported in Scroll Viewport is built around giving the user the ability to pick the correct variant for them. Single variants can be published to new spaces using Scroll Versions' publishing feature, but in that case, the new space will only contain one version, which it seems is not in accordance with your requirements.

The setup you described makes sense, but unfortunately cannot be achieved without using some type of workaround. Whether any workaround would be helpful for you depends on many factors around your particular setup. If you'd like to discuss this further, I would recommend creating a support ticket in [our support system](https://k15t.jira.com/servicedesk/customer/portal/3).

Regarding the show if macro, I am not quite as well-informed, but from what I have seen in the documentation, it's possible that the macro just works out of the box, as a viewport page view behaves very similar to a "normal" Confluence view.

Cheers,

David

I will perform further research and will file a support ticket if needed.
