PUT without overwrite in v2 API
Asked by Francesco Sbrighi:

Hi,

I'm using Confluence API v2. I successfully execute a curl put. It runs, and the value gets updated. However, the entire page gets overwritten. Is there a way to perform an append without having to first retrieve the content of the page, append my string to it, and then execute the curl put?

Thank you,

Francesco

PS: I noticed that there are other posts requesting the same thing, but I took the liberty to repost as those posts I found are even up to 5 years old or more. I was wondering if anything has changed in the meantime.

body: Hi [@Francesco Sbrighi](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5402270),

In your scenario, it seems you need to [retrieve the existing page content](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/v2/api-group-page/#api-pages-id-get), append the new content to it, and then proceed with the HTTP request to update the content. I just read the [documentation](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/v2/api-group-page/#api-pages-id-put), and unfortunately, I think that there is no direct REST API method or parameter to append content without overwriting it.

Please re-enable Legacy Editor
Asked by Lex:

Hi Atlassian Team,

recently I migrated from Confluence Server to Confluence Cloud. And I have noticed the new editor is lacking some features the legacy editor does support, like nesting tables within panels and sections and columns macro. Can you enable the Legacy editor for all 3 of my confluence cloud instances so I can create new pages using the legacy editor?

Kind regards,

-Lex

body: Hi [@Lex](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3629953) , I would share your feedback with Atlassian thru the in-app feedback link. This was a very hot topic when the change was made over a year ago. IMO, switching back is unlikely and would recommend indicating what features you want as that is more like to gain traction. In fact some of what is desired is likely already recorded at jira.atlassian.com so you might check there and vote for any open requests.

author: Syed Atif Rehman Sherazi
body: Just want to get more detail.

I have 34 Tasks and 5 Main Phases like each phase of project is distributed among multiple tasks. Just like i mentioned in table.

Planning phase contains 4 Tasks. My question is where we can define project phase and tasks progress for different phases as well.

How do you get a Confluence space published to an non-Confluence website?
Asked by april showalter:

I want to publish documentation that is in multiple Confluence spaces into a non-Confluence website. How do you do this?


Answers:
author: Kristian Klima
body: I suppose the website already exists and you want to put your Confluence content there...  

(because on Server, the obvious option is to just make the space public and use custom CSS styling to make it your own...)  

You can export a space as HTML (a native Confluence feature) and then feed it your website, obviously with some coding.  

Or, you can use an app to build your doc center - K15t makes Scroll Viewport app that creates a documentation website from Confluence spaces (I think they still make the Server version although Confluence Server is approaching its EOL and EOS).


author: april showalter
body: Thanks all!


author: Rilwan Ahmed
body: Hi [@april showalter](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5085546) ,

You can try making use of **Iframe** html tag in your website. Please note that Atlassian does not recommend making this change as it would make Confluence vulnerable to [clickjacking](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clickjacking).   
<https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/confluence-page-does-not-display-in-an-iframe-827335781.html>  

Also you may want to make the space/site available to **[anonymous access](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/setting-up-public-access-156.html)**


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Hi April,

Confluence servers up pages in standard HTML for browsers, but it stores them in its own data format.

To publish Confluence content in other systems, you are going to need to write something that can extract the content and convert it into whatever format your website provider can read and serve up.

Be aware that you will lose most of the dynamic stuff that Confluence does with macros, as your process will be reading point-in-time data.

Table of Contents object is not displaying headers
Asked by Fatima Mohammed:

I have a ToC object in my Confluence doc. It shows correctly in the preview. When I go to publish, the ToC doesn't display and the content area is completely blank. I checked the headers and made sure they weren't bold. They are in Header 1 format. I tried Header 2 Header 3 and Normal Text formats. There was no change. I tried removing the emojis from the header. No change. When I edit the header text below, the ToC object updates the header content. What is missing to show a populated ToC on a published page? I searched this forum and tried other people's fixes. They didn't work for me. I have anchor links by my header text within the document.

Adding some context, I am trying to add a ToC inside a Page Properties table that is at the top of the page. Could that be why the ToC isn't displaying?  

![Zight 2024-01-09 at 6.28.13 PM.jpg](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/299766i5C1A58AE0F28CD46/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Zight 2024-01-09 at 6.28.13 PM.jpg")


Answers:
author: Kristian Klima
body: Hi [@Fatima Mohammed](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5401811)

Yes, the TOC doesn't display because it's in the Page Properties macro. I was able to replicate what you're experiencing.

<br />

(BTW, the best practice is to reserve H1 headings for Page titles only so there's only one per page).


author: Fatima Mohammed
body: Thanks [@Kristian Klima](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5074962)  

I agree I don't like the look of H1 section headings throughout my page. Someone on this forum reported H1 style was the only way to get the ToC to show up. Thank you for your help. I will move the ToC above the properties so stakeholders can get to their relevant sections.

Response code 400 setting up CalDav calendar with Test or discover settings
Asked by Michael Foster:

I put in my email address in the Username and Email address fields, and the big long API token for the Password field when attempting to set up the server settings for the new calendar in Outlook. I'm confident the Username has the correct email address, and the Password was pasted directly from the API window, which I also have saved outside the application.

What is wrong so that it doesn't work? I was getting a 401 response code when I had the wrong username or password.

Whiteboard Trackpad Pinch Zoom Not Working
Asked by Shae Allison:

When using the trackpad to zoom within the Canvas, specifically when the cursor is over a full-detail embedded Jira Issue, on a Whiteboard the entire browser zooms and the view outside of the canvas cannot be recovered easily via the trackpad, keyboard shortcuts or browser zoom settings. I have found that I have to go back over the embedded issue and then pinch zoom out or leave the whiteboard and navigate to trigger a new page load.   

Ideally the zoom doesn't get hijacked by the embedded iframe.  

Normal View:

![Screen Shot 2024-01-09 at 1.20.36 PM.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/299727iE1BC0ECC38239177/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screen Shot 2024-01-09 at 1.20.36 PM.png")  

Entire screen after pinch zooming: ![Screen Shot 2024-01-09 at 1.20.03 PM.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/299726i594535BCF1DED0C2/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screen Shot 2024-01-09 at 1.20.03 PM.png")  

Other details:  

OS: Mac  
Browser: Chrome  

Additionally: it is very easy to accidentally click into the embedded issue when trying to manage it on the whiteboard. Perhaps the embeds should be view-only/locked with a menu to enable editing or opening in a new tab?


Answers:
author: Dan Breyen
body: Hi [@Shae Allison](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5055965) have you tried this with Safari, or have some Windows users that could also try it in Chrome or Edge to see if they can replicate the issue? In either case, it sounds like a bug narrowed down to the mac, or would be a browser specific thing.

Unfortunately my whiteboard currently isn't finding my Jira projects so I can't replicate it. It does seem like my pinch to zoom on my Dell/Win11 is working with Edge.

I took a look through [Atlassian's Jira site](https://jira.atlassian.com/) and didn't see anything specific for this issue. If you have something that you can reproduce at will, I'd suggest opening a ticket with [Atlassian Support](https://support.atlassian.com/contact/#/) as I may have missed something.

Hope that helps.

Indeed as [@Ivan Lima](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1351762) has kindly mentioned, the filtration is not possible out of the box as for now.

The [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=datacenter&utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) is our app and you'll be able to filter native Confluence tables and macro generated tables (for example, Page Properties Report, Jira Issues, etc.).

Besides if you prefer working with Excel-like spreadsheets, the [Table Spreadsheet](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/tfac/dc-server/how-to-use-table-spreadsheet-macro-83100938.html?utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) macro (that also comes with the app) will fully suit your needs.

Embedded calendar shows different time zone
Asked by Karen Bottai:

hello

I am a site admin. I cant figure this one out and I was hoping someone could help me!

I have a Confluence space that has a calendar set up. The owner of the space wanted to embed that calendar onto their team page because it shows their on-call status and dates.

They took the confluence calendar link and went to the overview/team page and then linked it there through a macro.

When they did this, it caused the embedded calendar to show up 6 hours different. The calendar page shows up in the correct time, but the team page/overview is the 6 hour difference. Can anyone help? I am unable to share screenshots due to privacy.

Alternative to "Popular Labels" for a single page and it's children?
Asked by Scott Beeson:

I have a "Guides" page. Under it, I have a bunch of guides. Each guide has multiple labels. On the main Guide page (index) I really wanted to use the Popular Labels macro but it lists labels for the entire space. There is no way to filter it by page like with other macros.

Does anyone have any suggestions on a decent way to display a variety of guides, without manually curating it?


Answers:
author: Scott Beeson
body: I tried other options.

1. Content Report Table {#toc-hId--407855555}
---------------------------------------------

I thought I could just do common topics and use the content report table to show child pages with both the GUIDE tag and the \<TOPIC\> tag. This doesn't work because the label filter is always OR, so it shows ALL guides and ALL \<topic\> pages.

2. Children Display {#toc-hId-2079657278}
-----------------------------------------

Trying the same idea above, with just a few curated topics. But this doesn't work either. There is no label filter for Children display.

Please {#toc-hId-272202815}
---------------------------

Please Atlassian, update all your macros to match some of the newer and more powerful ones. Why don't the two macros above have the same interface as, say, the Page Properties Report? Just add the "Filter" option so I can filter by ancestor, label, etc.
