Is there an add-on that allow to have a detailed view of all permissions d?fined into Confluence?
Asked by Udaya L?ost:

Hello,

I would like to know if there is a plugin or an addon that allow to have a detailed view of all permissions configured into Confluence? Or maybe if there is another solution.

This is an important feature in case of account review for example.

Thanks a lot.

Udaya.

[getSpacePermissionList](https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/display/CSOAP/Example+output+with+augments#Exampleoutputwithaugments-getSpacePermissionList) is one example and there is this more extensive example: [How to get all space permissions](https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/display/CCLI/How+to+get+all+space+permissions).

Answers:
author: Lukas Knoch -Rumpelcoders-
body: You can achieve that with a custom user macro. Something like:

```
## Macro title: My Macro## Macro has a body: Y or N## Body processing: Selected body processing option## Output: Selected output option#### Developed by: My Name## Date created: dd/mm/yyyy## Installed by: My Name## This is an example macroSpace Permissions:#foreach($space in $spaceManager.getAllSpaces())#foreach ($permission in $space.getPermissions())#if ($permission.isGroupPermission())Group $permission.getGroup() has permission $permission.getType() in space $space.name &lt;br/&gt;#end#if ($permission.isUserPermission())User $permission.getUserName() has permission $permission.getType() in space $space.name &lt;br/&gt;#end#end#end
```

That is for spaces only and untested. You could do the same for pages, but it gets quite long if you have many.
obsolete labels show up when using the "label-list" macro
Asked by Jaime Romaguera:

Hi Everyone,

When we used the macro "label-list" it show obsolete (deleted) labels.

Do I need to rebuild the index to purge these labels. or is there another Technic I should use?

Thanks for any help.

Regards

Jaime


Answers:
author: Ben Conrad
body: I noticed this too and found the pages using those labels were in the Confluence trash. The labels of deleted (but not purged) pages seem to show up in the macro, but once purged those labels went away.

body: We are running into the same issue, did you ever get a resolution?

body: Unfortunately rebuilding the index didn't fixed it ![sad](/html/@C495B4504065515364EB1894F812B34C/images/emoticons/sad.png "sad")


author: salehparsa
body: Hi Jaime,

You are right, it might be related to the corruption in the search indexes. I'd recommend you to [rebuild the content indexes from scr](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONFKB/Rebuild+the+Content+Indexes+from+Scratch)atch and check if you have similar issue or not.

Cheers,

PDF Stylesheet not affecting header size
Asked by Nick Reilingh:

The default PDF export for confluence 5.7 outputs 8-point text -- I want to scale this up to a more standard 12-point so it looks like any other word processor document.

The first thing I tried was to add a rule paragraph tag, setting font-size to 12pt, and this worked great. But when I tried to make similar modifications to h1-h6 (starting from the [defaultpdf.css file](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONF57/Customising+Exports+to+PDF)), no change is observed in the resulting PDF. I notice that the header styles are defined in px, where the paragraph style is define in pt.

Is there something I'm not getting? How do I troubleshoot this?

**EDIT:**

What I'm actually trying here is to edit the "PDF Stylesheet" for a space by including the following in the space's look and feel configuration:

```
body,p,li,td,table,tr,.bodytext,.stepfield  {  	font-size: 12pt;  }  h1  {      font-size: 26pt;  }  h2  {      font-size: 20pt;  }  h3 etc...
```

I started with the default CSS file on the page linked above for a reference, and then just increased the sizes by a few points -- and in the case of headers, changed the units from px to pt which should also make them larger.

But only the font-size property for body/p/li, etc is taking effect. The header properties are unchanged, AND seem to be different from the supposedly default values to begin with!


Answers:
author: Steffen Heller
body: You could try to add ".wiki-content" to increase your selectors specifity:

```
.wiki-content h1 {?font-size: 26pt; }
```

That seems to works in my own PDF stylesheet. No guarantee though, just an attempt.

comments: author: Nick Reilingh
body: Hey, that did it! I guess I should just be looking at the regular page display in-browser to see what rules will be overridden. It looks like there are some h2 rules on the page but none of them take effect because of the .wiki-content rules. Perhaps the documentation on this hasn't been updated for the new default theme yet.

body: See my discussion <https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-discussions/PDF-Export-Confluence-does-not-support-CSS-3-only-2-1/td-p/1202508>

body: Hi Nick,

it is hard to tell why your modifications don't work without knowing what they are. Can you post what code you entered and where?

How do I email either all users or a group of users in Confluence?
Asked by Jason Huntowski:

Okay, maybe I am just completely blind or ignorant or both, but as an administrator, how do I email either all users with active accounts in the tool, or at least be able to send emails out to entire groups? It was so easy to find and use in Jira, why can't I find it in Confluence?

Thanks!


Answers:
author: Martin Cleaver
body: Put the content on a page or blog post

Share the page to user or group

If you don't see the Share button you've not specified a mail server so Confluence has no way to notify people

Recipients get emails and notices in the notifications tray.

comments: author: Jason Huntowski
body: Martin,Thank you for your response. I JUST figured that out. I am in such an administrator mode that I never even thought to look for controls on the page. Question though! What about for administrators? Is there a way to generate an "all users" email? I guess I could just build a private space and add all users to it and then just "notify" the space when I need to send a message for server downtimes and such? Any other tricks or obvious things I am missing that you can suggest?Thanks,Jason


author: Carol Meyer
body: I'd be interested in knowing how to do this too, especially for planned site maintenance. Thanks, Carol


author: Sandra Warmbrunn
body: I have the same problem. We have a server downtime tomorrow. I search for a "send email to all users" funtiction, like in JIRA.


author: DerivcoITServer
body: There is a bug where you cannot share with internal confluence group such as confluence-user.

<https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-33616>


author: Jason Huntowski
body: Just as an update, it looks like at some point in our instance upgrading and add-on upgrading, community bubbles plug-in has added a send email feature to the admin screen. We have tried on multiple occasions to use this, but it doesn't always work. Sometimes it errors out and may even crash the instance, and sometimes it works. It could be our exchange server though . I have not investigated fully. Just a heads up.


author: William Deshaies
body: May sound awkward, but what I do is send an email to confluence user via Jira. Basically since I use the LDAP link, I have my confluence user group available in Jira, but without any right. I can than go in Send Email tab and select the confluence user group.

how do i restart numbering in a list
Asked by Jason Dobry:

When cutting and pasting content from Google Docs, Confluence resets the ordered list to "1" after every image. Is there a way to tell Confluence to "restart numbering from X?"


Answers:
author: Matthias Krohn
body: To solve this problem you must move the pasted content completely within the leading list item. Within a list item do not use any hard Return, but only soft Returns (Shift + Return). To do so go to the begin of the item which should restart its numbering and press the Backspace key. If necessary do this multiple times, so the line is surely direct beneath the image or the last line ot the preceding list item. In doubt merge the two list items and then press once Enter (hard return). If this does not help, additionally go to the begin of the preceding line containing the image and press the Backspace key. If the image flows to its hitherto preceding line, the numbering should be correct. In this case move the image with a soft return (Shift + Return) to a new line. This should not effect the numbering. If the numbering is still not correct repeat the last stepis for all paragraphs relating to the list item.

confluence page changes not being displayed
Asked by Chris Flynn:

There is a few pages that when you edit certain text within the page and save it the changes are not reflected. If you go to edit it again you get the popup warning about an unpublished change, which is your changes. No matter if you "view changes" or "resume editing" the changes are never displayed.

I have not found any errors in the logs.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Answers:
author: Rodrigo Girardi Adami
body: Hi Chris,

Is this replicable within a staging environment? Which is the Confluence version you are using?

I recommend to check if this happens within the latest Confluence version as well as such it could be a bug.

Cheers,

Rodrigo

comments: author: Chris Flynn
body: I have not been able to reproduce the same behavior in our sandbox environment, although their could be some small differences.

Version 5.7.3, which I believe is the latest version. We just did an upgrade a little while ago.


author: Chris Flynn
body: The problem was that we were running on an unsupported version of Oracle database. We migrated from 10g to 11g in order to resolve this issue.


author: Giuliano C.
body: Hey Chris,

As this is affecting only a few pages (specific ones), may I know if you are using any third-party add-on/macro there? For example, check if it will happen with a new one or try to remove the content (copying it all before deleting) of the page and see if it will save the changes.

Sometimes, it can also happen if only some spaces have some customisations through the **Look\&Feel** session in the **Space Tools**.

it's something worth to check, Chris. Hope it helps you!

Regards,

Giuliano Tenedini

comments: author: Chris Flynn
body: We do not make use of any third-party add-ons. Only what comes with Confluence OOB. I think on this page the only macro is the TOC. Everyone uses the same Look\&Feel too.I tried working my way up from the bottom of the page to see where the problem occurred, but when I thought I found the location, I went back in and things were not working the same way.Thank you very much for your help. I will have to try removing the TOC macro and do some of your other suggestions. I also submitted a ticket to Atlassian so I will see what they come back with.Thank you very much for your help!

Thanks


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: You need to give the issue a value for "raised during", or remove the "this field is mandatory" from the field configuration scheme.

Check you've not hidden it with the "configure fields" button, and also look for "where's my field"

author: Shiva Prasad
body: I added that "raised during feild " but i could not create ticket (i could see no error msg )


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

Highlight text, 'Create JIRA Issue' button not appearing
Asked by Zuber Khursiwala:

Hi

I've just upgraded our Confluence to 5.7.4, and now when I highlight some text in a page the 'Create JIRA Issue' icon is missing. The icon for creating an inline comment does appear though.

JIRA is still in the same place, and the application link between Confluence and JIRA seems OK.

Does anyone know why it would be behaving this way?

Thanks

The Configure Sidebar option is not working in Confluence 5.5
Asked by Prateek Bansal:

The "Configure Sidebar" option in my sandbox instance is not working. By default, it is set to "Child Page" and when I click on "Configure Sidebar" nothing happens!

I think, I might have played with some with some settings which has disabled this functionality. Please guide.


Answers:
author: Giuliano C.
body: Hey Prateek,

Since there's no customisations configured in the **Look\&Feel** session, as you mentioned some settings to be configured, I believe the Theme used for the instance is the same. So, can you check and schedule some downtime to run the instance in Try to run Confluence under [Plugin Safe Mode](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/UPM/Disabling+and+enabling+add-ons#Disablingandenablingadd-ons-Disablingorenablingalladd-ons(usingSafeMode)) to see if it will helps.

Also, when you click on the sidebar for Space Tools, can you check what the developer console will give you? For example, in Chrome, you can go with **Right Click \> Inspect Element**.

Hope it helps you, sir. In case of having this issue persisting, please, don't hesitate to raise a new ticket in our support channel: <https://support.atlassian.com>

Kind Regards,   
Giuliano Tenedini  
Confluence/Crowd Support


author: Luiz Maia
body: Hello there,

I believe this option is missing due to the theme that is applied to this space. Usually this is option is clearly visible and accessible using the "Global look and Feel" theme.

I also suggest you reset the Space layout to default. Go to **Space tools** \> **Look and Feel** \>**Layouts**and reset all to default.

Please let us know in case you have any questions.

Thanks.

Kind regards,

Luiz Maia

comments: author: Prateek Bansal
body: Thanks. This issue is across all spaces and not just one space. I checked all "Look and Feel" layouts are set to default. All the global ones in the admin console are also set to default.

body: Also, it shows the option both on the sidebar and in space tools.. but when I click..nothing happens!!

How to Delete Gliffy Diagrams?
Asked by Michael Bond:

How and where do you delete Gliffy diagrams and their associated png file?


Answers:
author: Jaime S
body: Hi, Michael.

If I'm not mistaken, the Gliffy diagrams are attachments in a page displayed by a specific macro.

This way, you can:

1. [Delete the attachments](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONF55/Working+with+Attachments), by going to the page, clicking 'Tools \>\> Attachments' and deleting them
2. Removing the macro in the page, by editing the page and deleting it (otherwise, an error will appear)

I hope this was helpful.

Gliffy Templates Not Working?
Asked by Michael Bond:

I'm trying to use an existing Gliffy diagram as a template for a new diagram. The template Gliffy saves as a new diagram, but upon exiting the Gliffy editor, the diagram does not appear on the page. It shows up in the attachment list with its accompanying png file, but will not populate the page. The only way I can get a Gliffy diagram to work is by drawing it from scratch. Any ideas?


Answers:
author: Jaime S
body: Hi, Michael.

Isn't there a Gliffy macro?

Maybe by editing the page and clicking the '+' button and searching for it, you may find it and select the diagram you created.

This is actually only a guess, as I'm not really familiar with Gliffy. You may want to try it.

Kind regards,

attachment on confluence and NAS
Asked by Brice Hugon:

Hi,

In my team, the specifications are stored on a NAS, but I would like to move them to Confluence. Problem is, the specification team wants to keep a version on the NAS and on Confluence...

Is there a way to configure Confluence to mirror a NAS directory? Or to publish an file updated on Confluence to the NAS?

Thanks


Answers:
author: Rodrigo Girardi Adami
body: Hi Brice,

I could find [this old answer](https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/5437/can-confluence-be-configured-to-store-attachments-on-a-san-or-nas) that might help you in this question. However, in terms to duplicate the attachments files, this might require some additional setting in the network.

Cheers,

Rodrigo


author: rrudnicki
body: Hi Brice,

Maybe you could create a solution with asynchronous replication. I mean, you have the attachments on Confluence, and then you setup a script to synchronise after the data after any change or after 1 minute. However, it will cost more I/O and network latency.

Regards,

Renato Rudnicki

Can you choose two "Default" groups?
Asked by Bryan Dollery:

So, in Confluence, there is one group which is set as "Default", so new users are automatically added to that group. But what if you want users to automatically be members of two groups when they're added?

Is this possible?

Bryan


Answers:
author: Paulo Junior
body: Hi Bryan,

Unfortunately you can have only one Default groups for each application (JIRA / Confluence). The "Default" groups are usually the ones with the most basic access level. They also hold the users that count towards your license usage.
