Sticky table headers in edit mode
Asked by Ran Kedar:

Hi all,  
Sticky table headers works great in view mode - can it be done in edit mode?  
Not having it makes it difficult to edit large tables...  

Thanks!


Answers:
author: Sireesha Dugginapeddi [Appfire]
body: Hi [@Ran Kedar](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3122994) ,

I am afraid Confluence supports sticky table headers only in *view mode* natively. Refer to [this](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/tables-136463.html) article for limitations and additional info.

However, you can use the [Table filter](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.stiltsoft.confluence.plugin.tablefilter.tablefilter/server/overview?_ga=2.135526641.1997290620.1570095696-748161253.1533556773) macro with the *freeze first 'n' columns* parameter set as required for it work in *edit mode*. You will see a scroll option within the table with the set 'n' columns frozen for you.

Hope this works!

Thanks

Sireesha

Restricting access for one person
Asked by Andrew Smith:

I have a document that I only need to restrict one person from the doc. Is there a way to do this without having to add everyone minus this one person?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: No, you have to remove whatever is giving them access to everything else you don't want them to have.


author: Jeffry Gamba
body: Do you mean Confluence Page?

If they don't have admin permission, you can set the page permission on the restriction you want.

Navigate your page and click this key icon. Choose "Viewing and Editing Restricted" and add the person you only want to see and edit the page.

Looking to display content from an external web page in a confluence page rather than just link it
Asked by David Thornton:

I have a web page that gets updated with new software release information and I would like to have a space on a confluence page display that info and keep "up to date" without having to add a basic link or hand update. Is this possible?


Answers:
author: Tessa Tuteleers
body: Hey David,

[this](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-put-an-iframe-into-confluence-598837531.html) is the guide for you!

It could be that this macro is disabled on your instance due to security issues. Please talk to your (sys)admin about it if that's the case.

Good luck!

nes-notify label issue
Asked by Lalyn Shivers:

When a nes-notify label is added to a page, it takes away the update button which is a feature, but does it include the save button on the comment section? users inlcuding admins are not able to create a comment when nes-notify label is added to a page.


Answers:
author: Lalyn Shivers
body: nes-notify label is the label you can add to a page to hide the Update button, and the Update \& Notify button will only remain.

comments: author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: So it's a label that triggers functions in an app you had not mentioned.

If this is not covered in the "no email storm" app docs, then we'll have to hope someone who does know the app (and/or from Stiltsoft) spots the question. I don't know the app well enough.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Could you explain what a "nes-notify label" is? Is it a standard label in the labels section, or do you mean something else?

Is there any way of sharing a file with external user (without being export pdf/word)?
Asked by Gon?alo Costa Santos:

I'd like to understand if we have a way of sharing a document we have on confluence with a user that is not from the workspace (nor confluence), without adding him/her to the team, thus, not get billed.

A way, that is different from pdf or word. like a public url where a user could see and not use.


Answers:
author: Jeffry Gamba
body: Yes, you can! Share the Confluence Page URL to the person. But, before that, you have to enable first the anonymous access permission in the Global Permission settings.

I tried it before answering your question because I'm also curious. It worked.

See this link :: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/confeval/confluence-evaluator-resources/confluence-can-i-share-confluence-files-to-a-non-confluence-user>
Be able to set and track Space owner
Asked by Olle Friman:

A field to track the Space owner is required.

We have hundred of Spaces and as the the admin we need to know who to ask questions about the content. For us the Space owner is also the content/data owner.

We are currently using the Space Description field for manually maintaining the Space owners, but as this is a text field it is very complicated to add processes around this information.

Ideally we would like a field for the Space owner which then can be imported to Insight (Riada plugin) where the data can be mapped with HR data.


Answers:
author: Matt Doar
body: Sounds like you're looking for a way to have a space-level variable named Owner.

Perhaps some plugin such as [https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1212629/projectdoc-toolbox-for-confluence?hosting=server\&tab=overview](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1212629/projectdoc-toolbox-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview) might help

comments: author: Olle Friman
body: This is a very expensive plugin if we do not find any other use cases for it.

Anyhow, thanks for the suggestion.


author: Thomas B
body: Hi [@Olle Friman](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/701759) - there was a similar question asked a while back ([Previous Question about Space Owners](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/List-of-Confluence-space-names-and-it-s-owner-names/qaq-p/631226)) but the resolution is performing a SQL query or building a macro. It appears that Confluence doesn't have 'owners'.

Here is a SQL script that works on my version:

SELECT spaces.SPACENAME, spaces.SPACEKEY, mapping.username  
FROM \[confluencedb\].\[dbo\].\[SPACES\] spaces

INNER JOIN \[confluencedb\].\[dbo\].\[user_mapping\] mapping  
ON mapping.user_key = spaces.CREATOR

You may want to replace CREATOR with LASTMODIFER since your 'owners' are also your 'creators' and modifying your content. What version of confluence are you running?

Thanks.

comments: author: Olle Friman
body: Hi Thomas.

We have version 6.13.4.

I am not sure if I am missing something, but for our large usage of Confluence the owner of Spaces are not the creator nor the admins of the Spaces. When a Space owner leaves the company a new owner must be assigned. I still think a Owner field is required, which should be set at "Edit Space Details".

Thanks

Olle

How to perform two-step verification of a Google account in the source tree?
Asked by szk-k:

```
Nice to meet you.I use an Atlassian account in conjunction with a Google account.Recently, I conducted two-step verification to enhance the security of Google accounts.And when I started SourceTree and pushed it to Bitbucket, SourceTree requested login. Since it is linked to a Google account, I entered my Google password, but I could not log in. Mysteriously, when I logged in to Bitbucket with GoogleChrome, that was successful.At that time, I was asked for two-step verification, so I thought it might be the reason why I couldn't log in.How can we make this two-step verification possible with SourceTree?Thank you.

How to have sidebar pages not auto expand
Asked by Dara:

Referring to the grey sidebar showing page titles on the left side of the screen.

We use a large amount of nested pages, and for one folder I have now made an overview of this using the page-tree macro. Ideally I would like people to be able to click on the parent folder, see the page-tree macro and use that to navigate further (as it's less load time, they have a search bar, etc.). However, once they click on the parent folder (not the expand arrow, but the folder) it already automatically expands to show all the underlying folders. Is there a way to turn this off? Aka to have the folder only expand when you click the expand-arrow?

I understand this very well might not be possible, but I wanted to see if you guys had some ideas, just to be sure. Thank you!


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello there, [@Dara](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3579875) ! As I understand, you need to keep the children pages from showing up when you select their father. For short, this behavior is not configurable.

You are right. When we select the father page in the sidebar *++it will automatically expand to display its children++*.

This means that if you have a page that has ten children, all of them will show up in the sidebar as long as that father page is selected.

Let us hear from you, Dara.

comments: author: Dara
body: Hi Diego, Thank you for your response! I figured that was probably the case, but good to know I should indeed stop looking for a way to configure this. Hop you have a nice day and a good weekend :)

What has to be considered when the sever name (URL) of Confluence has to be changed?
Asked by Stefan Baader:

We will have to change the server name of our Confluence server instance.

F.e. the old address will be wiki.domain1.com and the new address will be wiki.domain2.com.

The machine (IP address will be the same).

What is the impact?  
F.e. change the Server Base URL

What has to be done and considered?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: You'll need to change the base url, the proxy settings if you are using one, and all external application links (i.e. anything that tries to reach it). You may also need to look at https certificates, depending how they've been constructed (if you're using them)

Bear in mind also that anywhere someone has used "wiki.domain1.com" in a link, those links will need to be updated, both in external systems and if people have pasted in links instead of using proper internal referential links inside Confluence (or you could keep running the old domain with redirection set up so that people land in the right place)

body: Nic, many thanks for your fast reply

How do I make style changes without using the Macros CSS solutions
Asked by Peter_Steven_Price:

I am using confluence wiki to add documentation on an application and really need to use indented paragraphs as would be available in word :  

e.g. Value \<tab\> Indented explanation

so for example

A1 This is Option A1

A2 This is Option A2 that  
Indents onto 2 lines if necessary

I dont see how you can do this easily and so am resorting to tables. The issue is they ALWAYS have borders and I cant see an option to remove those border s. people have suggested using Macros, but I am

a - unsure how to do this

b - Not sure if I am allowed to do this (As I am not an administrator)

I have been able to use \<SPAN Style="...."\> \</SPAN\> to change paragraph content to exactly what I want by editing the source - but this seems to have no impact upon the table. When I try to position it around the TBODY I just get messages about missing \</span\>.

Can anyone help me please?


Answers:
author: Peter_Steven_Price
body: At a Page level the following works; but not for an individual table in a page.

\* Bring up the page that you wish to change tables.

\* Click the EDIT Button

\* Click the \<\> button to open in Source editor.

\* at the very top of this window, enter the following :

```
<ac:structured-macro ac:macro-id="34a4d729-d06d-400b-b9e8-6edfb01bd861" ac:name="style" ac:schema-version="1">
<ac:plain-text-body><![CDATA[@media all {
.wiki-content .confluenceTh,.wiki-content .confluenceTd {
border: none;
}
}
]]></ac:plain-text-body>
</ac:structured-macro
```

That should then remove borders from ALL tables in the page.

How to integrate Confluence Server and Connectwise
Asked by Muhammad Farhan:

Hello Experts,

We want to integrate Confluence with Connectwise Manage. Be able to open tickets in Connectwise Manage through Confluence. Just like we use @ to assign task, and // to put deadline, we want to use "#" to create ticket in Connect-wise from Confluence.

Is there any app or plug in available to achieve this.

Thanks


Answers:
author: Stephen Sifers
body: Hello Muhammad,

Thanks for reaching out to see if there is a way to integrate Confluence and Connectwise. I've integrated the two in the past, this was mainly done my inhouse development accessing both the REST API for both platforms. There is no app currently available within the marketplace for Connectwise and Confluence.

I would suggest reviewing both sides REST API documentation along with the user macro information for Confluence to understand what customized options are available for you to integrate the two products:

* [Confluence Server REST API](https://developer.atlassian.com/server/confluence/confluence-server-rest-api/)
* <https://developer.connectwise.com/>
* [Writing User Macros](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/writing-user-macros-4485.html)

While not directly an answer, I hope this information provides resources to use while creating an integration between the two products.

Regards,

How I can reload macros content
Asked by Andrey Klyuev:

I have macros for build report and want to add pagination, how I can reload macros content by click on a paging link(send page number to macros and show other elements of the report)?


Answers:
author: Dara
body: I'm not 100% sure what your question is here (maybe include a screenshot of what you're trying to do?), but I have found that after reloading the page (so not just clicking a different page, but reloading the tab in your browser) the macros always update themselves with the most current information. Not sure if that helps though.

Must say, I'm curious about what you're trying to do exactly.

comments: author: Andrey Klyuev
body: No, question was about reload content from code of macros, it should reload only macros content. For example, table with paging, you click on paging and reload table


author: Dara
body: Ah, I understand now. I don't believe that is possible. At least not within Confluence Cloud. You will have to renew the entire page in order to renew the data the macro is displaying.

If this is something you really want, you would have to contact Atlassian with a feature request. I think it should be possible, and might be useful. Even if they decide to implement it, it will take a while though.

Not work for file upload

When I try to upload using "Drag and drop to upload" or "browse for files" on Confluence, it is not uploaded.

It succeed in just two, but frequently it did success in three or five at the least.

body: Hello [@???](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3581647),

Thank you for contacting us about this. I've had a look, but there hasn't been any issues lately that would cause this, so we'll need to have a look at your Confluence instance.

If you are still having this issue, please raise a support ticket [with our Cloud Support team](https://support.atlassian.com/contact) and provide them with the specifics of your issue. For example, if you've been able to replicate this across attachments, pages, spaces, and users, or only specific ones.

Once they are able to help determine the issue, please feel free to let us know here what the solution was.

Regards,

Shannon

author: Shannon S
body: Hello [@Mandy Weber](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3533638),

I followed-up with this issue, but it doesn't appear that [@???](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3581647) ended up raising a ticket for this with Support.

There are a few different things that might be happening in the background on your Confluence site that would cause you to not be able to upload an attachment. We will need to see your Confluence site logs in order to determine the cause for the issue you are experiencing.

I would recommend testing first to make sure that a particular browser or add-on isn't causing the issue, and that all users are able to replicate the problem from any device. If the behavior persists, please raise a ticket with our Support team, and we can have a look at it for you. If you're a Cloud Free site admin, you can raise a new question here on Community and we can have a look for you!

Take care,

Shannon


author: Alex Sharp
body: I have had the same problem in the same instance.

I also noticed this only happened for pages that have restricted access on them. I also tested this with two different browsers (Chrome and Edge) to make sure it wasn't a browser or plug-in related issue.

How to retrieve 3 dots menu functions for logged authenticated user when hid it for anonymous users
Asked by Lorenzo Ianes:

I don't want the 3 dots menu be available on the menu bar right to the anonymous user who read my company wiki. I want to avoid anonymous users are able to view attachment, page history, page information or export to pdf. For this reason I added in the space stylesheet the CSS

.ajs-menu-bar { display: none;}.

This hides all the menu bar, 3 dots menu included.

When I log in as user to editing page this useful menu remains consequently hidden and I loss some useful feature as delete page, move page and all other feature included in it.

Is there a solution to display or hide this menu on basis of uses (anonymous or logged in user)? Otherwise is there a other way where I can find these features?

Thanks in advance and best ragards


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hi Lorenzo,

Happy to help! I've seen where it's possible to hide things, such as the People Directory, for certain users, and that's documented below:

I think you might be able to use the details there in order to restrict the 3 dot menu from anonymous users. Can you give that a try and see?

How to enable Page Load Profiling
Asked by JS:

Dear Support-Community,

i have some issues with Confluence and Jira where sometimes random pages load slow and have a large ttfb (time to first byte). I want to enable some detailed log level to further troubleshoot. I did enable Profile Logging but there are no Page Profile logs generated. And i cant find a detailed howto anywhere.

Regards, Thomas


Answers:
author: Stan Ry
body: [@JS](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2428820) Hi Michael, it feels like Page Profile does have some timing for individual pages. At least it [says so here](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/troubleshooting-slow-performance-using-page-request-profiling-200987.html). Or did you mean some specific characteristic?

comments: author: Stan Ry
body: Also, [here it says](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-56189) the @"HAR file shows the TTFB (Time To First Byte)."


author: JS
body: Hy Stan,

thanks a lot for your reply. i followed that guide to enable profile logging. I just wonder where i can find these files that show me the page load values:

What exactly do you mean with "it feels like Page Profile does have some timing for individual page".

Iam not sure if i totally understand the Page Profile Logging. I thought i could enable it and then look at some log files and see which pages load slow and which part of the loading process takes long times.

No i have not collected any HAR files, (never done that :-) so far). I just started chrome dev tools and there you can see it if you collect the network traces.

Thanks a lot for helping me out here :-)

Regards, Thomas
