Auto-update #links when I change the named anchor text?
Asked by Alex Lange:

Hi!

I have a single page glossary of terms (each term is a heading 5) in which I have embedded cross-references to other terms on the same page using link icon\>Advanced\> #heading5name (that is, a named anchor).

I would like to see if I can "automagically" update the #heading5name when I change the text of heading5 itself.

Example:

Original heading5 is "simian"

link to it is #simian

Core question: If I change the heading5 text to simian**S** how can I get the link reference to update to #simian**S** automagically?

I could edit the raw wiki markup, I suppose, but it appears that editing the raw wiki markup is no longer possible.

Maybe I'm missing something... please be kind to me....

author: J?r?me Lecl?re
body: Maybe it is related to the version used, but in Confluence Server v7.19.7 I can edit the raw wiki markup. In edit mode, on the top right of the window you can click on the button \<\>.

body: Hi Alex, and welcome to community!

I'm not sure how to do what you're asking (but I'm watching this question because it would be a cool script or other solution).

I also modified the tags on your question, so more people will find it and hopefully give you some possible solutions. Here is an [excellent article written by a Community Champion on Tags](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Feedback-Forum-articles/The-Admin-s-tale-War-of-the-Tags/ba-p/718357) to give you some ideas.

Carolyn

comments: author: Alex Lange
body: Thanks, Carolyn.

The answer appears to be that there is no automatic update of **Advanced** links that start with #.

If you change the named anchor string (the target of the advanced link), you must also change the link itself.

It seems to me that this automation could be done on pages with internal links such as #. I suggest Atlassian do that ;-)

Thanks again,

Alex L


author: carolyn french
body: Sure, no problem. It's a good suggestion. You can open a suggestion ticket on the public Jira instance for Atlassian and others to see:

Is it possible to Query Confluence Calendar Events?
Asked by Cosmo Castellano:

Is there a way to query a Confluence Calendar? For instance, if I wanted to see all scheduled events for the next six months that have the string "Sprint Planning Meeting" in the summary or any other field, is that possible? It would be very handy for me if this was possible.


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hi Cosmo,

This is not possible in Team Calendars, but we do have some feature request that may interest you:

* [CONFSERVER-49360](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-49360) Filters on calendar views
* [CONFSERVER-52698](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-52698) Querying an embedded calendar

Why do I see a custom field listed multiple times in the Issues tab?
Asked by SSchoepel:

Other than closing a page as a draft and selecting to see changes in the dialog, there doesn't appear to be any other way to view the changes from the original page through the most recent edit and no way to see who made which change.

Did I miss that in the documentation?

It may be important to know who made a change, not just see when they are also in the page.


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Sigrid,

In your Page History, you can view who recently changed the page and compare changes.

* [Page History and Page Comparison Views](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/page-history-and-page-comparison-views-139379.html)

Your title also mentions a problem with Jira and custom fields. Are you having an issue there, or did you inadvertently write the wrong title?

Regards,

Shannon

comments: author: SSchoepel
body: Thanks.

(not sure why the title is different from what I typed)

So I can only see the persons who edited the page AFTER I publish it? I need to see who changed things in the draft.


author: Shannon S
body: Hi Sigrid,

That is true, since a draft is personal, and not considered a page version until it's published.

[Comala Workflows](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.comalatech.workflow/server/overview) could potentially help you with this requirement. I'm not very familiar with it, but I would recommend that you try it and see if you're able to do that there.

About your title, I want to ask because I've been seeing this more and more. Do you remember ever looking at a question on Community that had the title you ended up using? I just want to figure out how to replicate the problem since I've seen so many questions with this issue. If you don't remember, it's okay.

Regards,

Shannon
Is there documentation available that shows/explains table structure and feild explanations?
Asked by Jeff Thorne:

Looking to determine if more detailed information can be queried out of system.


Answers:
author: Jeff Thorne
body: Thanks for the reply.

I guess I am trying to learn about Iteraplan which I am assuming is also Confluence?

I would like to understand the data better and for me that usually means understanding the backend tables and relationships.

Does this clarify? Please let me know if im wayyyyy off.

comments: author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: I really don't know if Iteraplan might be a Confluence. You'll need to tell me. Does it have the "powered by Atlassian" link in the footers?


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Do you mean tables and fields you place in your content?

Or do you mean in the database? (which is really not a great place to do reporting from in Atlassian applications!)

Best though - if you can describe what information you really want, we can probably tell you the best way to get it!

author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: I don't know Iteraplan, I've not seen it in an Atlassian context before.

I guess it could be based on Confluence, or, more likely, their documentation is in Confluence, and you have followed a link for help with Confluence instead of a link for help with Iteraplan!

To work out which, look at the bottom of a page - if it's got a link that says something like "powered by Atlassian Confluence" in the footer, you're in a Confluence.
User Macro: Search for multiple labels
Asked by [denkwerk] Marcel N?rnberger:

Hi everyone! Within my macro (contentbylabel), I want to search for content with multiple labels. They should not only have a one specific, but two specific labels. Right now, adding another "AND" to the syntax does not work.

Does anyone have a clue how to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance!  
Marcel

```
<ac:macro ac:name="expand">
 <ac:default-parameter>$title</ac:default-parameter>
 <ac:rich-text-body>
  <ac:structured-macro ac:name="contentbylabel" ac:schema-version="2">
  <ac:parameter ac:name="showLabels">false</ac:parameter>
  <ac:parameter ac:name="cql">label = "$topic"</ac:parameter>
  </ac:structured-macro>
 </ac:rich-text-body>
</ac:macro>
```


Answers:
author: Stephen Deutsch
body: Hi Marcel,

I think the syntax for your CQL would be "label = \<label1\> AND label = \<label2\>". If you want to include multiple labels, you could have the parameter be a comma separated list, and then you could split based on the comma and do a foreach loop where you do string + "AND label = " + label, and then use a substring to remove the first AND from the string.

how can I integrate external database with Confluence Page?
Asked by Sambath Subramanium:

I am new to Confluence and just going through the documentation. I want to create a page which connects to external database and show the dynamic data from my tables along with other Page contents. Is this something doable?


Answers:
author: carolyn french
body: Hi Sambath, and welcome to community!

You can definitely do this on Server. Bob Swift has some popular add-ons to connect to external databases and display the content in your Confluence page. There are others too that you can check out on the Marketplace: <https://marketplace.atlassian.com/>

Here are the Bob Swift SQL add-ons:

<https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/org.swift.confluence.sqlexpress/server/overview>

how to customize customer portal in jira service desk 3.8.2
Asked by Plimster:

I'm fairly new to jira and confluence. I have installed jira 7.1.4, Service Desk 3.8.2 and Confluence 6.6.0 on my own server that we will be making available to our customers.

The document page <https://confluence.atlassian.com/servicedeskcloud/configuring-the-customer-portal-732528918.html> is incorrect. When I click Customer Channels as the admin, instead of being able to customize the portal I just get a pop-up showing the URL, the link to visit the portal, and a link for setting up email requests.

My goal is to provide a link for customers to the confluence knowledge base that I have set up. I have made the application links between jira and confluence.

How can I make the knowledge base accessible to customers?

Thanks,

Mark, new Atlassian customer


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hi Mark,

It appears that you were looking at the Jira Service Desk **Cloud** version of the documentation, but not the one that matches your version, which is **3.8 Server**:

* [Configuring the customer portal: Service Desk 3.8 Server](https://confluence.atlassian.com/servicedeskserver038/configuring-the-customer-portal-935909243.html)

At the top of the page if an article exists for other versions, you can use the drop-downs to select your version.

Can you review that article and let me know if it matches what you're seeing and helps you accomplish what you require?

If not, let me know what you're having trouble with and I'll be happy to assist.

Regards,

Shannon

author: Admin2
body: There needs to be an easy way of seeing what UNPUBL:ISHED changes other users have made to a page without having to publish it first ... it's all very well telling us that there are unpublished changes made by another user but why do we have to visually compare the two "versions" (published in "view" mode and unpublished in "edit" mode)? The unpublished changes should be highlighted in the same way that we can see what PUBLISHED changes have been made to a page by another person i.e. by highlighting all of the changes in green/red/blue when comparing versions.


author: Melody Strauss
body: Hi Adil,

I am seconding Karen's comment on her question/concern at viewing the latest version of an image vs the exact version that was embedded in a particular historical version. I replied to her posting as well.

This is unfortunate, confusing, and unacceptable in documentation versioning. This will prove to be a recurring explanation for anyone trying to achieve CMMI levels and or producing Proposal documentation using Confluence to share and post imgae files or updates.

On top of this problem, I found that selecting version from the previewer and downloading was the only way to view a past version, but even then the version number came up different than the version that was selected. I am not sure if this is a mistake on the file input creator or something in the tool at this point.

Thanks,

Melody

1. Create a JIRA that links to a Confluence Page that has an Excel file.

2. People who have access to the JIRA Issue will find the Excel by clicking on the JIRA link to the confluence page.

3. Then each person will update the excel document in confluence, expecting collaboration controls (multi-users updating at same time).

Meeting notes page synced with Team Calendar
Asked by Adam Humenansky:

If I make a page with a meeting agenda, scheduled time, place, and participants, can it automatically be put onto a calendar?

Our current implementation of Confluence runs a script that pulls data from meeting pages and populates an ics file to use in iCal. Now that we have upgraded Confluence and added Team Calendar, I am looking for a more elegant solution.

Basically we have a need to make a page in advance of a meeting to post an agenda and participants list and reserve a room. We also use this to ensure a room or a participant is available to attend the planned meeting. Is there a good solution for this using Team Calendars, or is there something else I need?

Create Sub-calendar or filter calendar
Asked by devo666:

Hey,

We have a main calendar for our company where people can add their vacation. I wanted to create a sub calendar or have some way of adding a filter to that calendar to only display events for certain team members. This way, team members can add vacation to the main calendar but on our team page we can display a calendar with only our team members vacation.

is there a way to do this?

This is not possible in Team Calendars at the moment, but there is a feature request to be able to filter results:

You can vote on it and watch it for future updates.

I would recommend otherwise including your vacation days as a separate event type on the main calendar, or creating a special vacation calendar.  

Let me know if you have any questions about that.

You may add a sprint to a Team Calendar in Confluence Cloud by going to the calendar, selecting Add Event and then Event Type "Jira Agile Sprints".

Best way to determine how much storage space you'll need for Confluence?
Asked by Emily Wayman:

Helping a client set-up their Atlassian server suite. My company is cloud based, so we're less familiar with the server set up. At any rate, they're trying to figure out how many pages they'll need to accommodate for if they're sharing project documents in Confluence. They're long term plan is to use Atlassian connectors from the marketplace to connect to their Office365 products that already exist. So the main usage for now will be to link Confluence pages to JIRA issues.

So if they're not planning to attach documents to a page or use Confluence as a versioned file repository, what is the best way to determine storage needs?
