Bonfire Browser Extension IE 9 32-bit doesnt work
Asked by Andreas M?ller:

Hello,

in our company we want to use the Bonfire Browser Extension for IE 9 32-bit.

First of all i have read all other Asks on this page. Browsersettings are correctly configured.

Ive tested it in two ways, as normal windows user and as adminstrator.

In both cases the Plugins are shown as installed and Running by IE9 but looks strange...

The Addons are assosiated with different Categories of the IE Addons Window.

It doesnt look like [https://confluence.atlassian.com/download/attachments/278072475/Screen%20Shot%202012-05-08%20at%208.35.58%20AM.png?version=1\&modificationDate=1336491647459\&api=v2](https://confluence.atlassian.com/download/attachments/278072475/Screen%20Shot%202012-05-08%20at%208.35.58%20AM.png?version=1&modificationDate=1336491647459&api=v2)

Ive the Category "Atlassian Software Systems Proprietary Limited" which includes Atlassian.Bonfire.BHO and the Category "Not avaliable" which includes the Addon "Atlassian Bonfire". Both Addons are running.

In case of logged in as Admin a Blank Frame appear by clicking the Bonfire Button in my Browser-UI.

In the other case logged in as common User nothing happen on clicking the same Button.

Get Page Title in template
Asked by Alexander Wolden:

I am looking to create a template that automatically pulls the page title and includes it in the content. Is there a variable/macro/shortcut that allows us to automatically pull the page title and include it in the content of the page?


Answers:
author: Bob Swift (personal)
body: There are multiple ways to do that including at least:

1. Write a simple user macro
2. [Run Plugin](https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/display/RUN) - **{run-now}$page_title{run-now}**
3. [Reporting Plugin](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/net.customware.confluence.plugin.reporting)

comments: author: Alexander Wolden
body: Thanks for the reply.  

I made a simple user macro that worked like a charm:

```
## @noparams$content.title
```


author: Ian
body: Hey,

I used the above in my macro and I got the page title.

Now how can I get the first letter in a page title since my pages are named as follows: AF \| Afghanistan

I only want to get AF?

author: Michal Mrazek
body: Hello,   
I needed to include the page title into the content of the page and can't use above steps - maybe newer version or permission limitations, but I was able to use Page Info macro.

Insert macro Page Info

* Information type = Title
* Page = $self
* Type = Flat

Works for me. Hope this helps.


author: MiMi Lane
body: I appreciate the macros as a work-around. That isn't a great option for very basic users, though. I still believe the template creation process should be updated so a default template title is saved - WYSIWYG. Everything else is about the template creation is extremely user-friendly for even the most basic user.


author: Daniel Borcherding
body: Alexander,

It looks like Bob was able to point you at the 100% correct solution. I am answering here just to let people know that we have an outstanding feature request for this functionality.

<https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-13715>

If anyone is interested in getting this feature rolled into the product itself please visit that issue and vote for it in the upper right hand corner. I am attaching this post to the ticket to further increase it's visibility.

Your solution is a great one. Again I am just adding this for informational purposes.

comments: author: MiMi Lane
body: It looks like this was not implemented. From an en-user POV, this really should be a requirement for allowing people to create custom templates. After all, if we are creating a custom template, the whole point is to be consistent. Having to create a page title each time we use a custom template is counter-intuitive and very annoying. Any updates?

This is a long standing feature request, you can read the \*very\* long hsitory here:

For the other you could use the {include} macro as Kirstin suggested, or you could do a a redirect, either with a macro

Access to MS SQL Server failing on new instance setup
Asked by Kevin Buchs:

I was trying to recover a lost space through MS SQL Server snapshots. I did this: installed MS SQL Server Express on my machine. Created a local account for Confluence. Attached the snapshot. Looks good from a cursory view of the tables. Access works for the Confluence login using MS SQL Server Management Studio with tcpip protocol.

I installed Confluence 4.3 standalone (different from our other EAR/WAR install, but thought it would be easier), inserted our license and came to the database configuration. I could not get the database setup to succeed. I tried both jdbc:jtds and microsoft drivers. I copied both of those drivers' .jar files into Confluence's lib dir and restarted Confluence. I tried these connect strings:

1. jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://localhost:1433/Confluence

Error: Configuring the database failed. Couldn't create the database schema. java.sql.SQLException: Network error IOException: Connection refused: connect

2. jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:1433;databaseName=Confluence;

Error: Configuring the database failed. Couldn't create the database schema.Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.6 is not supported by this driver. Use the sqljdbc4.jar class library, which provides support for JDBC 4.0.

(Note, I had downloaded the MS 4.0 driver!)

Any suggestions?

No notification e-mail on page comment adding
Asked by Dmitry Andrejev:

I'm watching a whole space in a Confluence. When another user is adding a comment to a page in that space I see it in Inbox on Confluence website, but I don't receive instant e-mail notification, like in case, when I'm watching that page directly.

Insert profile image displays profile thumb in edit, but broken image on saved page
Asked by Kent Wildish:

I'm using confluence 4.3.5

When I use the insert the profile picture macro on a page I'm editing, it displays fine. I can see the profile images on user profile pages and next to comments on threads. But I get a broken image when I save the page I'm editing (it still displays fine if I go back to edit mode).

Copy/paste filter not working per documentation
Asked by Karie Kelly:

When I display and jira issue filter results \> copy the link \> paste it into a confluence page, it is not converted to a macro as indicated in this documentation.  
http://blogs.atlassian.com/2012/02/link-jira-issues-to-confluence-pages-automatically/#comment-82818  
Section: Paste issue links or saved filters into the editor with Autoconvert  

The link copies exactly as is.

Trusted applications setup and remote api is checked.

The JIRA Issues filter works when you use the filter XML link - so, I know the macro, itself works - it is the copy/paste action that it shown in the referenced documentation


Answers:

body: Hi kalynn,

In JIRA 5.2 there was a change to the format of the filter URL. It looks like Confluence has not been updated to recognise the new URL format.

Pasting a URL using the old format will still work. If you are pasting a URL using the new format, it will not.

I have raised a bug report for this behaviour: <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-27945>

@mention link not being created as expected
Asked by Karie Kelly:

I was trying to use the mention links between Confluence and JIRA as explained here in the automatic link section: [http://blogs.atlassian.com/2012/02/link-jira-issues-to-confluence-pages-automatically/#comment-82818
However](http://blogs.atlassian.com/2012/02/link-jira-issues-to-confluence-pages-automatically/#comment-82818%3Cbr%3E%3Cbr%3EHowever), when I insert the JIRA issue link by on a confluence page by using the keyboard and then navigate to that issue, the @mention link is not appearing. However, if I use the Insert \> Jira Issue menu actions, then it works.

<br />

I checked the trusted application and remote api configuration, and it is setup per Atlassian requirements; other jira macro functionality is working as expected.

Any ideas on why this isn't working?


Answers:
author: Bruna Griebeler
body: Hi Kalynn!

Please check if the [in-app notifications enabled locally](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Configuring+Workbox+Notifications#ConfiguringWorkboxNotifications-EnablingConfluenceworkboxandin-appnotifications)in your Confluence, since it's disabled by default.

Hope it helps!!

comments: author: Karie Kelly
body: Yes, this is enabled. The odd thing is ... if you use the keyboard shortcuts to insert the JIRA Issues macro, the @mention link is not created. If you use the menu to select the macro, then it is created. Both options render the macro just fine; but, only the menu selection creates the @mention link.
Confluence path changed in server.xml, but create space still redirect to ROOT URL

author: William Zanchet [Atlassian]
body: Hi Dixon,  

Allow myself to answer that question, the server.xml file that we edit, is just to run the application, and the BaseURL is to say to Confluence that he should use that URL to access page, communicate with UPM, to talk with the internet...  

I hope this clarifies your thoughts.

Show incoming links on a page
Asked by Russell:

The 'info' page of a page has a box with incoming links that shows which pages have linked to that pages.

I have a page with a table listing links to sub pages of that page. In the table I want to include a description of incoming links to each sub page.

I can work around by using the URL for the 'info' page for each sub page in the table. However it would be nice if I could condense the information to just the incoming links information. Is there a macro that exists for that? Can I code a new macro, if so, then where do I find documentation for such?

JIRA+Confluence OnDemand to Hosted migration instructions.
Asked by Jakub Pierzcha?a:

Hi

We're currently evaluating the possibility to migrate from OnDemand to Hosted versions of JIRA and Confluence (the lack of plugins is a big pain)

I've done some initial evaluation on how it works. I have created both Confluence and JIRA backups, installed hosted versions and used those backups for restore.

This worked good, both JIRA and Confluence match the OnDemand content with one exception.

Application links (Confluence Spaces linked to JIRA issues or JIRA issues included in Confluence spaces) still point to the OnDemand site.

Is there a way to migrate whole OnDemand JIRA+Confluence site to hosted environment preserving the links?


Answers:
author: Jakub Pierzcha?a
body: Yes, the base URLs are configured correctly. I have noticed however that the Application Link points to the OnDemand JIRA instance but when I try to add the hosted JIRA as well it throws an error about the same Server ID. Your colleagues at support are currently helping me to deal with this.


author: Harry Chan
body: Check the exported xml and see what the links look like[.](https://www.cloudshards.com/jirahosting.php) From memory I think they are hardcoded URLs[.](https://www.cloudshards.com/confluencehosting.php) Your best bet might be a mass search and replace on the xml after the export and before the import[.](https://www.cloudshards.com)

author: Dave
body: Hi Jakub,

Have you updated your base URL? You can check out the [Configuring JIRA Options](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Configuring+JIRA+Options) page for details on changing that. If this isn't the case, and it's just the Application Links, these may have to be updated via the instructions at [Integrating JIRA and Confluence](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Integrating+JIRA+and+Confluence). Let us know if you run into any trouble!

Thanks,

Checklist-wikiinput: No wiki rendering
Asked by Laurent Corbi?re:

Hi,

Using the Comalatech Checklist Plugin, I can't get a wiki format in a checklist-wikiinput when I refresh the page.

Here is the code:

```
{checklist:name=Reports|parent=Optimization Reports}{checklist-input:In Charge|cols=20}{checklist-select:Status}ReportedAssignedSolved{checklist-select}{checklist-input:Date Solved|cols=10}{checklist-wikiinput:Solution|rows=10|cols=80|width=50%}{checklist}
```

\* edit the checklist-wikiinput

\* write some wiki code (bullets, line break,..)

\* the formating is correct

\* refresh the page: the formating is lost

Is somebody has a solution please?

Thx


Answers:
author: Ulrich Kuhnhardt
body: Hi Laurent,

unfortunately only a subset of text formatting wiki markup is supported such as {\*+_-}. Bullets, enumerations and everything involving line breaks are not supported in the wikimarkup input column.

However [Ad hoc Canvas](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.comalatech.adhoccanvas) renders all wiki markup in a wiki input column. Canvas is compatible with the Checklist plugin and can be installed alongside. Check out Canvas and let me know what you think.

Thank you for your researchs.

Unfortunatly, we already have more than 40 plugins and it's a too much for our instance (upgrade problems, stability,...).
