Add the 'Create from Template' macro to my global template
Asked by Wilson M_:

I'm creating a global template, and I want to add the 'Create from Template' macro as a button to the template. This will allow users to click on the button to create a new page off of a specific template, similar to how the existing 'Meeting Notes" page template has a button to create new meeting notes.

I essentially want to mimic the whole Meeting Notes template page that can create new meeting notes as well as list existing meeting notes, but for something else entirely, let's say for a list of 'Workarounds'.

Is this not possible in the cloud offering?


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Wilson,

You can insert the [Create from Template macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/create-from-template-macro-724765187.html) into a template and specify it to use one of your own templates.

Please note:
> Only global and user-created templates for the current space appear (unless you have specified a different space in the 'Space Key' field).

Let me know if you're having any trouble with this feature.

Regards,

Shannon

body: Hi,

I am having trouble with this. I have 3 custom global templates and I'm trying to add the Create from Template Macro.

The dropdown for available templates is empty and won't let me type in it. I've tried multiple browsers and waited several hours to make sure it isn't just a timing thing. The templates are available to use elsewhere.

Where can I change the email address Confluence sends emails from?
Asked by Brendan Andrews:

Currently incoming mail sent to notify of (say) an edit to a page is from:

confluence@mail-us.atlassian.net; on behalf of; John Smith (Confluence) \<confluence@myinstance.atlassian.net\>

How do I make it just:

confluence@myinstance.atlassian.net

For the paired Jira instance by default it's:

admin \<jira@myinstance.atlassian.net\>

Using the JIRA macro on a confluence page does not correctly display the Fix Version/s column.
Asked by Rick Nguyen:

I had previously been able to insert a JIRA macro into a confluence page and correctly display the "Fix Version/s" column. Now, however, the "fix version/s" values that are displayed render as "#xmlHtmlEscape($version.name)". Additionally, this occurs with the "Component" column as well.

Expand Macro
Asked by Tania Paracha:

How can I make the Expand Macro Title text larger?


Answers:
author: Zak Laughton
body: Hi Tania

There's not a native way to adjust the size of the expand macro title text for each macro, but if you wanted to increase the size of *every* expand macro title, you can add this styling in the [Confluence custom CSS](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/styling-confluence-with-css-166528400.html) (adjust the number to the desired size):

```
.expand-control-text {

How do you export search results from Confluence Cloud
Asked by Jeanne Howe:

We have a need to search our entire Confluence Cloud site using specific keywords. We then need to export the pages, blogs, and attachments that are returned by the search.

I am able to create and run the search, but see no way to export the search results.

Can search results be exported "in bulk" rather than individual page/blog/attachment?


Answers:
author: Suren Raj
body: Hi, Jeanne!

I understand you wish to export your search results.

* <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-37982>

Unfortunately, currently Confluence doesn't offer this functionality, this is why there is an improvement request for it:

There isn't a timeline yet to when this feature will be implemented or delivered. As all related updates will be made available there, we would advise you to **watch and vote**for these improvements because based on New Features Policy:

* <https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/new-features-744721668.html>

Voting increases the chance of implementing this feature.

Page Tree Macro
Asked by Tania Paracha:

The Page Tree Macro is not displaying the table of contents. When I preview the macro everything shows up correctly but when I publish my page it shows up blank. Have followed all directions on how to fill it out and it's still not working.


Answers:
author: Zak Laughton
body: Hi Tania,

From what I understand, the Page Tree macro isn't showing any pages when you publish the page, even though it shows in the macro preview. It's hard to say what the cause might be without a bit more information.

* Does the page tree show when you preview the full page?
* What options do you have specified in the macro?
* Does the macro show any pages when there are NO options specified?
* Does this happen in more than one browser?
* A screenshot of the preview, along with a screenshot of where it should show on the published page will also be helpful.

I navigated the versions by changing the URL directly:

I changed where it reads **6.12.0** to the **desired version**, such as 6.13.0 or 6.14.0.

However, for **Confluence 6.3.x**you need to look here:

Draw.io cannot insert PlantUML
Asked by thgmx:

Hi all,

I read [here](https://about.draw.io/use-plantuml-in-draw-io/) about implanting PlantUML in draw.io diagram but my draw.io installation does not show the menu item "PlantUML" in the *Arange* / *Insert* menu. The "Insert" shows only *From Text...* and if I open the *From Text* dialog I can only select *List* or *Diagram*. None of them will create a diagram from my PlantUML source code.

Does anybody know what is missing?

body: Hello Diego,

thank you for your quick response.

Here are my answers:

1. Has this worked at some point in the past?

Yes, it has. It is some months ago and I don't remember which revision I had at this time. I just can say it was Confluence Server \<= 6.3.2 and Draw.io somewhere between 7.4.5 and 8.3.

2. Are other types of diagram working?

Yes, like a charm.

3. Is this happening in any browser?

I noticed that in *Firefox 65* , *IE 11* and *Chrome 72*.

4. Is this affecting other users?

I asked three other users and none of them where able to import PlantUML.

Remark: The system mentioned in my question (Confl 6.12 + Draw.io 8.3) is our test system. The actual working environment is Confl. 6.3.2 with Draw.io 7.4.5. There the mentioned poblem is slightly different: In the *From Text...* dialog I can select *List* , *Table* and *Diagram*.

Best regards

Answers:
author: Zak Laughton
body: Hi Matthias,

From what I understand, you want to apply the same style of the page tile to all the "Heading 1" elements in the content of your page.

I was able to accomplish this with the script below, inserted into the "At end of the BODY" section of the **Custom HTML** admin page:

```
<script>
  const pageTitle = document.querySelector('#title-text');
  const pageTitleStyle = window.getComputedStyle(pageTitle);
  const headings = document.querySelectorAll('.wiki-content h1');

  headings.forEach(heading => {
    Array.from(pageTitleStyle)
      .forEach(key => heading.style.setProperty(key, pageTitleStyle.getPropertyValue(key), pageTitleStyle.getPropertyPriority(key)))
  })
</script>
```

It essentially uses [.getComputedStyle() method](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/getComputedStyle) to determine the style of the page title, then applies these styles to each the Level 1 header in the content.

I hope this helps!

Adding title to "likes count"/"comments count" in Page Properties Report macro
Asked by Jennifer Hemmens:

Hey everyone,

Up until now, when we've been rendering a likes/comments count in a Page Properties Report macro, it's only concerned one of the two. However, one of our latest tables must contain both. The problem is that when both are activated, no title column is rendered to tell the reader which number is the "comments" count, and which is the "likes" count (or what the numbers are doing there in the first place...).

I've looked through the documentation but I can't find a way to render titles for these columns. I might be missing some sort of placeholder to add to the column titles. ("@commentsCount" or something similar maybe?)

![Likes and comments count.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/45499i2C30AB3649206A7D/image-dimensions/557x58?v=v2 "Likes and comments count.png")

In the example above, the comments count is 3 and the number of likes is 1. I know this because I'm the one who commented on and liked the page. Someone just reading the page would have no clue which number is which.

I hope someone can help!

Thanks,

Jen

I hope you guys over there at Atlassian decide to fix this bug anyway - if you're able to automatically render likes and comment counts, you should easily be able to make it possible to render a column title when one of these is selected ;)

Please help to create sub-page in Blog
Asked by ??????? ????????????:

Hello! Help me please) I need to create a sub-page in Blog, but every page which I have created is like a separate page in the blog, without hierarchy. How can I do it? I haven't found an answer in the Guide.


Answers:
author: Zak Laughton
body: Hi ???????,

You can't currently create sub-pages for blog posts, as they follow their own pre-determined page hierarchy.

Since [Blog Posts in Confluence](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/blog-posts-834222533.html) are intended to be one-time announcements, and not reference material, we typically see any related pages needed for ongoing reference placed elsewhere in the space, linked from the blog.

Can you share your purpose for wanting to add a sub-page to a blog? There may be a good alternative functionality within Confluence.


author: Jonathan Smith
body: [@??????? ????????????](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2715887),

I don't believe this is possible. Pages are grouped by year/month.

Blog posts don't even appear when you are in the 'reorder pages' view.
