translation from excel file to Confluence model
Asked by Francoise DUCLOS:

I have a big excel file composed of several sheets to move in a COnfluence Model

Does anyone have idea to foolow the right way


Answers:
author: Krister Broman _Advania_
body: You want it to be kept together as it looks like in your excel file?

You should definitely use a plugin to achieve this. I would start by looking at one of the spreadsheet plugins available: [https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?product=confluence\&query=spreadsheet](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?product=confluence&query=spreadsheet)

If you want it more cheaply with more manual work then an alternative would be to use tabs and then copy paste content, again your looking at other types of additional plugins: [https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?product=confluence\&query=tabs](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?product=confluence&query=tabs)

Without using plugins you will end up using standard pages and then copy/paste content from excel to those pages.

There is no good way that i know of for single button importing it from excel to Confluence.


author: Krister Broman _Advania_
body: One thing that I would test in that case is that If you are using a spreadsheet plugin, is to see if on a published page where you then edit only spreadsheet info (not anything else) then i would want to verify that Comala reacts to that editing and resets the page to draft stage as is intended.

Also do you expect to use formulas on the sheets, if so then a spreadsheet plugin is most likely the best option as other solutions for calculations will probably a big issue to get working as intended (and thats not even touching upon the training issues to get users to understand such a solution :-) )


author: Francoise DUCLOS
body: Good question, I would like to obtain an equivalent of an excel workbook, as I will apply a comala workflow on it. A validation cycle on each page is not possible


author: Francoise DUCLOS
body: Thanks for this clear answer


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: What do you mean by "Confluence Model"?

Or, more importantly, what are you expecting your data to look like after moving it into Confluence?

Version of article shown in Confluence Cloud Knowledge Base/Client Portal
Asked by Alexey Miroshnikov:

The Service Desk client portal shows the latest version of a document created within Confluence Knowledge Base. The Portal/KB URL usually looks like as <https://xxxxxxxxxx.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/1/topic/57a-xxxxxxxx--02d7e/article/189693974>.  
Essentially the end user would appreciate to see information related to the version of a program he actually uses.  
At the same time the technical writer working on a next release documentation would not appreciate to show users incomplete text of future releases.  
The question:++Is their a way to specify the document release version to be shown as default in the Confluence Knowledge Base++ ?  
The ideal would be not the document version number, but rather a date, so the Knowledge Base would show the version of a document actual for the specified date.


Answers:
author: Ang?lica Luz
body: Hello Alexey,

Thank you for reaching out to Atlassian Community!

When linking a space to a Service Desk project, currently, it's not possible to add more fields for customers to know the version of the article or when it was created/modified.

There is a feature request suggesting the implementation of this ability:

Is it possible to index the result of a macro? (database connector)
Asked by Roland Siegel:

Hi,

my company holds customer data in a separate CRM system and we want to show the contact data of each person from a company in confluence on a single page ("Persons Company X").

Now I found the plugin "database connector" which works pefect, but the result of the macro is not beeing indexed by confluence so you cannot search for the data.

Is there a way to get the result of this/a macro beeing indexed by confluence and referenced to this page? Actually confluence only knows the code of the macro on this page. :(

Best Regards,  
Roland Siegel


Answers:
author: Sven Schatter _Lively Apps_
body: Hi Roland,

this depends on the app. I personally have never heard of "database connector" but we have a similar app called [PocketQuery](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211199/pocketquery-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview) and there you can enable indexing on Query results:

![pq-query-search-index.PNG](https://help.livelyapps.com/documentation/download/attachments/51642396/pq-query-search-index.PNG?version=1&modificationDate=1513162251000&api=v2)

This will add the result of a PocketQuery macro to the index for the page that the macro is in. Maybe the "database connector" app has a similar feature.

Best regards,  
Sven

comments: author: Roland Siegel
body: Hi,

the team from the plugin "Database Connector" wrote me, that the plugin doesn't have such a feature.

So I'm investigating your PocketQuery instead. :o)

Thanks!

copy from one space to another
Asked by rashami.abhyankar:

can we embed details from one space to another.


Answers:
author: Zak Laughton
body: Hi Rashami,

I understand you'd like to show content in Confluence in a space separate from where it is located. You can definitely do this!

The two best options for this are the [Include Page Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/include-page-macro-724765214.html) and the [Excerpt Include Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/excerpt-include-macro-724765190.html). These macros will allow you to display all or part of a page in the context of another page.

If these macros don't fit your needs, could you provide some more detail on what you're trying to accomplish?

Thanks!

What is the different between pages and blog posts? Why doesn't whole blogs export?
Asked by ??_??:

Hi there,

I am wondering why Confluence Cloud can export multiple pages to HTML, XML, or PDF but not blog posts?

why is there a difference?


Answers:
author: Ang?lica Luz
body: Hello [@??_??](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3571005),

Thank you for reaching out to Atlassian Community!

Pages and Blog posts are different in some aspects. Even if it looks the same because of the editor and also shares the same space, pages have the page tree and can be organized hierarchically and blog posts are ordered chronologically.

You can find more details on the documentation below:

* [Pages and blogs](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/pages-and-blogs-724764829.html)

With that said, currently, it's not possible to export all blog posts. There is a feature request suggesting the implementation of this ability:

I created a page. Now I want to convert it to a template. Is that possible?
Asked by vivi sparvoli:

I created a page that is basically a form for people to fill out. My team really liked it and want it to be a template so others can use it. It has 30 fields. I prefer not to Create a Template from scratch. Rather, is there some way to convert a page into a template?


Answers:
author: Veera
body: Hi [@vivi sparvoli](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2459651) ,

There is no automated way to convert an existing page into a template in Confluence.

As a workaround, open the page in edit mode, copy the content, and then paste it in the new template editor.

How do i turn the "what did you change" box to be mandatory?
Asked by amiram.fuerst:

When someone make changes in a page, and wants to update/publish, there is a box "What did you change". Currently, you don't need to fill it.

How can i turn it to be mandatory, so that for any change you have to give a short description of the changes.


Answers:
author: Jorden Van Bogaert
body: Hi [@amiram.fuerst](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2997508)

I advise you to check out this question: <https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Is-it-possible-to-require-users-to-fill-in-quot-What-did-you/qaq-p/65549>

There they talk about adding some javascript to the system wide custom HTML. I'm no expert in writing javascript, so I can't help you with that specifically. However, I can say that the box can't be made mandatory without some kind of coding either in javascript or confluence source code, and I think the first will be a lot easier :D

Attachments Macro: Uploading using the browse function errors.
Asked by Jonathan Smith:

We are displaying attachments with a specific label on a page.

![b.jpg](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/78986i75601A8ADA979FBC/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "b.jpg")

When browsing for an attachment and add to the page, the page thinks, and then gives an error: **Error** **occurred**. When we close the error message, the page refreshes and the attachment is then there (and labeled).

We don't want to use the drag and drop functionality because we don't want users having to do the extra step of labeling.

Any idea why we are getting the error message when using the **browse functionality**?


Answers:
author: Jonathan Smith
body: Note for the community:

After creating a test page, adding the attachments macro, assigning a label to the macro, I was able to browse/upload a file and the label attaches.

Firstly, thank you for being a valued Community Leader. We appreciate everything you do for the Community!

Thanks for including your workflow on what you're doing when prompted for the error and a screenshot for clarification. We would like to know a bit more about the issue in an attempt to recreate the possible defect. With this said, could you please provide the following:

1. What Confluence version are you currently using?
2. When recreating this error we would ask you to open a developer window (within your browser session) and view the console output during your steps. Please report anything which is displayed within the console output (Please ensure you remove any Personal Identifiable Information, URLs, etc before posting).
3. Is this happening with all file types or a specific file type?

These questions above will allow us to recreate and know what to look for when trying to track this down. We look forward to hearing back.

Populate Full HTML With JAVA Script in Confluence Pages
Asked by Ansar Rezaei:

Hi

I need to add something like this timeline <https://codepen.io/bcarvalho/pen/RZqmZX> in a specific confluence page. It contains 3 Part, HTML, JAVA Script and CSS.

I add CSS to Spaces style sheet and Add HTML and Javascript inside HTML Macro. I add js between \<script\> \</script\>tag. What is missing here that I couldn't render a page like a demo provided in that link?

When I save the page, I see this error on the Console tab of the browser:
>
> ```
> batch.js?locale=en-US:1975 Failed to run init function: Cannot read property 'top' of undefined ? (){var a;sessionStorage.viewPort&&(a=JSON.parse(sessionStorage.viewPort));if(a&&a.pageId==d.params.pageId){var b;b=c("#main-content");var f=c("#header");b=-1!==a.blockIndex?b.children().first().child?

> at batch.js?build-numbe?e&locale=en-US:3256
> at batch.js?locale=en-US:2110 TypeError: Cannot read property 'top' of undefined
> ```


Answers:
author: Zak Laughton
body: Hi Ansar,

I understand you're receiving an error when attempting to implement a design from CodePen into Confluence.

The main part of the error that seems to indicate an issue here is: "TypeError: Cannot read property 'top' of undefined". So Javascript is trying to find a property called "top", but it's not sure what item should have this property. I have some guesses where this is coming from.

Looking in the CodePen code, "top" is used 3 times, and all in the CSS module. In addition, I noticed the CodePen is using the [Sass (SCSS) processor](https://sass-lang.com/documentation/syntax) which is not supported in [Styling Confluence with CSS](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/styling-confluence-with-css-166528400.html) as far as I'm aware. This means that there is syntax and characters in the CSS section of the code pen that Confluence will not recognize (most predominantly: nesting and [the ampersand](https://css-tricks.com/the-sass-ampersand/)).

If you want this CSS to work, you'll likely need to translate the SCSS to basic CSS. In addition, the HTML in the CodePen is using a [Pug HTML preprocessor](https://pugjs.org/api/getting-started.html) that will also need to be converted to HTML.

Also, since you are trying to run custom HTML inside Confluence, there are many ways that Confluence could impact the behavior differently than running the code on another page. I recommend making small incremental changes to build the timeline to narrow the scope of troubleshooting in case of issues. At the very least, I'd recommend starting with the HTML, then the CSS, then the Javascript.

I hope this helps!

How to have two separate Retrospective Index pages or tables coexist in same Space?
Asked by Tyler Brown:

I have two scrum teams that work out of a unified *Engineering* space and I would like to have two separate, ongoing Retrospectives pages with respective Index pages. Alternatively, could display the team's retros in separate tables on same Index page if possible. How might I go about doing this?  

I am not super familiar with configuring the *Page Properties Report* macro which seems central to the process, so any help understanding how to configure that to achieve the desired result would be welcomed.  

Here are a couple of screenshots to illustrate what I'm looking to do and how it currently behaves:

In Menu...

![2retros1space.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/78973i08FC9421CC268A3A/image-dimensions/370x189?v=v2 "2retros1space.png")

In Index page...

![2retros1index.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/78974i6C6369E8EBC303C1/image-dimensions/371x148?v=v2 "2retros1index.png")  

First community post, thanks in advance for help.


Answers:
author: Jessica
body: If I understand what you're trying to do correctly, I think I have a solution that can work. I was able to get two different indexes on one page.

![Screen Shot 2020-01-16 at 5.08.09 PM.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/79392iC8C0219134F14A43/image-dimensions/497x248?v=v2 "Screen Shot 2020-01-16 at 5.08.09 PM.png")

Here's how I did it:

1. Went to Space Settings \> Content Tools

2. Made a copy of the Retrospective index and Retrospective page with different titles.

3. On the copied Retrospective page, I added a different label "Retrospective2"

4. Then, on the Retrospective index page I edited the *detailssummary* macro to pull in content with the label "Retrospective2"

5. Next, I created a page and dropped two Page Properties Report macros with the appropriate titles and did the same with the Create from template button.

Let me know if that is what you were looking to do and if it works for you!

comments: author: Tyler Brown
body: Hello, [@Jessica](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3581000) !

Thanks for your response! I didn't go about it the exact way you did, but *Labels* were the key. Your response helped me better understand how the Page Properties Report macro worked and how to use Labels to surface the content I was looking for; much appreciated.  

By adjusting the Labels, I was able to accomplish both of my options; a single Retrospectives Index with a section for each team and a team-specific Index page for the child pages I made under Retrospectives section.

Thanks again for your help!
