Confluence jira integration update
Asked by Padmasree P:

we have integrated confluence with Jira, recently Jira got migrated and the url got changed. now in confluence the Jira links are not working/broken in the pages. how do we fix this url change in all the confluence pages.


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: There's two ways you could be "linking Confluence to Jira"

If you are doing it properly with Jira macros and shortcuts, then all you need to do is update the application link to use the new Jira url.

If you're doing it with hard coded links (i.e. your users have entered the url as part of a link), then you will need to search and replace the content as a full fix, but I'd recommend a rewrite at the network level so the old name lands on the new url as well.

comments: author: Padmasree P
body: Hi Nic,

how do we update the application link?


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Go to Admin -\> Application links


author: Padmasree P
body: Hi Nic,

it is asking for below details when I try to add new link. what are these info, how I get this

Consumer key  
Shared secret  
Request Token URL  
Access token URL  
Authorize URL


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Yes, you need to re-authenticate with the new server.

See <https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver071/using-applinks-to-link-to-other-applications-802592232.html>


author: Padmasree P
body: Hi Nic,

is there a way we can give proxy info when authenticating. as my instance is in reverse proxy setup


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: The only proxy information you need for a reverse proxy is the base url. I'm getting lost in what you think you are doing now.

Set up a new application link, give it the application base url and authentication details for the other end, configure the return link and you're done.


author: Danyal Iqbal
body: Is the integration still working? check status on the application links page in the administration section.

The sanest option is not to change the url for jira. configure a redirect from the old url to the new one so that the application is reachable with the old url. you could do this via a dns entry if your application is in the internet or a simple apache server running in front of jira.

For a more painful solution you can update the old links manually.

comments: author: Padmasree P
body: Hi Danyal,

Integration is not working. if we set up reverse proxy using apache, will the old links work

How can I prevent draw.io edit icons appearing on a published confluence page?
Asked by Craig Arnatt:

If I embed a Draw.io graphic on a published confluence page if I mouse over the diagram, a grey header box appears around the diagram with; pencil (edit) + / - magnification and expander icons.

If you arbitrarily click inside the diagram it opens the drawing in its own window which is weird.

I don't see the logic in allowing these icons or opening of the drawing by itself if you click it. I don't want my users to be able to edit the diagram unless you are actually editing the page.

Answers:
author: David Benson _draw_io_
body: We do now have instance configuration for Confluence Cloud, are you saying you want to be able to switch off direct editing site-wide?


author: roman
body: Hi [@Craig Arnatt](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1192284),

draw.io diagrams are page attachments, so the permissions are those of ability of that user to view and edit those attachments.

If a user with view-only permission for attachments hovers over the diagram, the pencil icon will be disabled.

Is there a way to display Labels based navigation tree?
Asked by Jiri Pik:

Now, the Page Tree is defined by the page location.

However, sometimes it's useful to see all pages belonging to a given category / label and not to any other category / label as a part of the navigation tree.

How to achieve this?


Answers:
author: JP _AC Bielefeld Leader_
body: Hi Jiri,

you can create links to:

..../confluence/label/SPACEKEY/LABELNAME

to get all pages with label LABELNAME in space SPACEKEY

All labels of a space are listed by:

..../confluence/labels/listlabels-alphaview.action?key=SPACEKEY

Labels from all spaces can be listed by:

..../confluence/labels/listlabels-alphaview.action

Maybe this free AddOn is a try for you:

How can I create a page from Create from template and not bring up editor?
Asked by Mark Pizarro:

I have a button that when clicked creates a page from a template but it always brings up the editor. I would like the page created without bringing up the editor.

With our Page Tree Creator App your requirement can be fulfilled. You can find it on the Marketplace and there is also a link to our example pages.

author: Tobias Anstett _K15t_
body: Hi Mark,

Unfortunately you can't create a page from a template without bringing up the editor.

However if you are a developer you might want to have a look at Blueprints which are basically 'coded' templates - these will allow you to skip the editor -\> <https://developer.atlassian.com/server/confluence/confluence-blueprints/>

Link already is white listed, conf server version 6.10.2


Answers:
author: Timothy
body: While the link may be whitelisted, you need to add the endpoint's server certificate into your key/truststore in order to make a successful SSL connection.

comments: author: German Rodriguez Bolanos
body: Timothy, Im a kind of confused where is the truststore?  

I found a file on the confluence installation folder"jre\\lib\\security\\cacerts" but not sure if there is another truststore that confluence uses?


author: Timothy
body: > I found a file on the confluence installation folder"jre\\lib\\security\\cacerts" but not sure if there is another truststore that confluence uses?

That is normally the right one. You can also check your Confluence's System Information and it should tell you which jre is being used to run Confluence.

How to change the heading 2 color for the entire wiki space?
Asked by Fred B:

Answers:

body: Hi Fred,

did you try:

comments: author: Tobias Anstett _K15t_
body: [@JP _AC Bielefeld Leader_](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1135065) perfect answer.

I just want to add that if you configure the h2 to look different in the Confluence page view this won't impact PDF exports ... if you want to change font color there you need to configure it for you PDF templates as well.

Hide a wiki page image when viewing through the Jira service desk
Asked by Jonathon Goulding:

I am creating Standard Operating Procedures using confluence pages that have reference images. After getting the entire document formatted the way I want it to be formatted, I searched for the article using the Jira service desk, as that is how clients will be finding the articles.

When I select the article to view it through the service desk, the images have ruined the article formatting due to the cramped space of Atlassian's service desk portal. I would like to hide the images from showing up through the service desk if that is possible, but I can't figure out how this would work. My only other option is to remove the images from the confluence pages entirely.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Answers:
author: Tobias Anstett _K15t_
body: Hi Jonathon,

Unfortunately there is no default way to do this... however you could create a user macro to wrap your image content which will take care of it.

```
## @noparams

#if ($req.getRequestURI().contains("/plugins/servlet/remotepageview"))
## do nothing here
#else
$body
#end
```

Delete confluence page permission
Asked by Jennifer Lee:

How do i request for permission to delete a confluence page i created? I don't see the Delete function in my login.


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: If you have no "delete" option there, you will need to ask your space admins to grant you the permissions.


author: Kimberly Giere
body: Hi Jennifer. I'm not sure how your permissions are set up. However, try this:

Click on the page so you are viewing it. Do not click the edit button. Click on the three dots on the very far top right of the screen, underneath the icon where you logout.

A menu list will appear. Delete is at the very bottom of the list. Click that. You will be asked to confirm.

NOTE: This does not totally purge the page. If you need it completely purged from Confluence, go to Space Tools on the very, very lower left (sometimes you have to scroll down to see it). Select Content Tools. Go to the Trash tab. Find the page you want to completely purge. Click Purge. Confirm by clicking OK. Umm. This is not a recoverable action.

deleted issue
Asked by mtsmatheus89:

Good afternoon,  
Is there somewhere in Jira where I can check who deleted an issue ?.

There is a scenario where an issue has been excluded and we need to track who performed the exclusion.

I looked at the audit log but it does not inform me this kind of information, could you help me?

appreciate  
Att,


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: The audit log captures the user id, date and key of an issue that is deleted. (It's in admin somewhere, use the admin search to look for "audit")

comments: author: mtsmatheus89
body: I followed the steps described, but when trying to put the ID of the event it did not find it, I also tried the user of all the members of the group and also did not find the record


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Hmm. That suggests it's not been deleted, or the logging was off when the deletion was done. Are there no issue delete events logged at all?


author: mtsmatheus89
body: the log can not find it actually does not present anything related to this occurrence, even my audit log has no date limit to clean, but the solution I found was in sending email.  
The entire deleted instance is shot by email to the creator, so I was able to crawl through the exchange.

Thank you very much for your support.


author: Bryan Bai
body: check project permission schema, it should be an only small group of people could have delete issue permission. (best practice, always restrict delete issue permission, let user close it rather than delete it.

comments: author: mtsmatheus89
body: this exclusion was carried out by a small group of managers, for the other members of the project this permission is already blocked.

How to add Jira to a long-used domain within confluence Atlassian cloud?

We have been using confluence for a long while using the domain \[\].atlassian.net - we are interested in adding Jira into our existing domain within Atlassian with the exact same group of users, but despite searching I do not see that option without creating an additional domain, which isn't a solution for us.

Connecting Jira to SQL Server with different versions of SQL
Asked by Ward Galanis:

Hello,

I have created a new Jira db on an MSSQL Server running different version of SQL. In this case, I need to connect Jira to \<servername\>\\SQL2016SE as the server is also running SQL2014SE and the default server is the 2012 server.

The Confluence setup requests which instance you want to connect to, so I connected to SQL2016SE with no problems in Confluence.

Is this possible with Jira?


Answers:

User macro - How can I add 5 seconds on a page creation date
Asked by ElodieB:

Hi,

I would like to find all page versions on a descendents tree created before the parent page creation but I would like to exclude all versions created in the same time, for example by a copy of the tree.

So I need to keep the parent creation date and to add 10 seconds to it.

I get a Calendar date with the creation date

#set ($parentPage=$pageManager.getPage($space.key,$paramParentPageName))

#set ($creationDateOriginal=$parentPage.getCreationDate())

#set ($cal = $action.dateFormatter.getCalendar())

$cal.setTimeInMillis($creationDateOriginal.getTime())

But the following line doesn't work :

$cal.add($cal.SECOND,5)

Could you help me please ?

Best regards,

Elodie


Answers:
author: Bill Bailey
body: How about something like:

```
#set($cal.setTimeInMillis=$creationDateOriginal.getTime()+ 5000)
```

comments: author: ElodieB

Unfortunatly, it doesn't work, "$cal.getTime()" displays "Wed Oct 03 11:30:03 CEST 2018" and "$creationDateOriginal" displays "Wed Oct 03 11:30:03 CEST 2018"

#set ($parentPage=$pageManager.getPage($space.key,$paramParentPageName))

#set ($creationDateOriginal=$parentPage.getCreationDate())

$creationDateOriginal

#set ($cal = $action.dateFormatter.getCalendar())

#set($cal.setTimeInMillis=$creationDateOriginal.getTime() + 5000)

$cal.getTime()

Confluence Page does not stop to refresh in an endless loop
Asked by Kathrin:

I try to open a confluence page that we edited last time about six weeks ago. But I can't: It is like the page is in an endless refresh loop. It refreshes before there are buttons visible, "e" for edit is not working, too. I tried it in Chrome ans Safari.

The page contains text and the page properties macro, no linkings, no jpgs or anything.

Seems to be only that one page, I have edited dozens of pages in the same space and in other spaces before today. Do you have any idea what to do?

Thank you in advance!

Additional information: A colleague tried it - same problem, too.


Answers:
author: AhmadDanial
body: Hello, Kathrin.

Since you mentioned that you aren't able to open the page on your end, can you go through the steps to generate the HAR file mentioned in the documentation below so we can start analyzing this issue further?

* [Generating HAR files and analyzing web requests](https://confluence.atlassian.com/kb/generating-har-files-and-analyzing-web-requests-720420612.html)

That will give us a good idea on the web requests performed by the browser to retrieve the content.

Since you mentioned that it was working previously, was there any new content added to the page since the last time it was edited?

Another thing that I would be interested to know is besides the page properties macro, are there any usage of other macros / third party add-ons?

comments: author: Kathrin
body: Hi Ahmad,

we've got it - thanks to your reference to the macro.

We used the root directory macro on the page. The last time the page was edited it has also been moved to a new space without adjusting the root directory macro. Now it couldn't find the "old" root page - seems like that was the problem.

While using the developer tools an error occured on the page and we could stop reloading and at last editing the page.

Thank you so much!


author: AhmadDanial
body: Hi, Kathrin.

You are welcome! Happy to know that the troubleshooting step helped to give more insight to understand the problem better and ultimately, solve it.

How to create an onboarding compliance form for an NDA project
Asked by Dania Al-Fadly:

Hi

I am part of an NDA project, and before anyone onboards the project, we need them to read an NDA disclosure and agree to the terms and conditions. Is there a way we can add a page on confluence that allows team members to click a button that confirms they have read the terms and conditions (but not give them access to any other pages on the confluence page), and we can track who has confirmed the T\&Cs?

Thanks.


Answers:
author: Bob Yu
body: Hi,

You have to restrict the other page so people can't access them. By restricting, you can decide a group people can see or some people, more info: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/page-restrictions-139414.html>

Are you saying other confluence, except the one you created where they have to Accept the NDA?

Bob

comments: author: Dania Al-Fadly
body: I want to know if I can have a form on confluence where they read the terms and click 'accept' and that way I will have a list of all the people who have accepted?


author: Bob Yu
body: Hi Dania,

Here is an existing plugin for what you need:  
[https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1216387/approvals-for-confluence?hosting=cloud\&tab=pricing](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1216387/approvals-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=pricing)

If you want another way but free, you can create a page with the name of the person, restricted to only the person, put at the end of the page, a "Checkbox" with the criteria where people read and understood your policy.

I hope it helped.

Bob


author: Dania Al-Fadly
