youngmon/atlassian-qna huggingface dataset:
Page not found
Asked by Anand Sakthivel:

Hello,

We have two instances of confluence running, production and staging. When I sync the data from production to stage I can see all the new updates being synced but when I click the links I get "page not found".

Here's what I'm doing.

1. Take a backup of confluence DB and restore it to stage.  
2. Rsync the data folder "/var/atlassian/application-data/confluence/"  
3. Restart confluence.

Am I missing anything?

Thank You

Br,

Anand

body: Before restoration and rsync, did you stop Confluence?

After restoration, and restart, do you then change the base url from production to staging, and run a fill re-index?

comments: author: Anand Sakthivel
body: Yes, I stopped Confluence, restored the dump and synced the data. But how I run a file re-index ?


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Log in as an admin, go to Admin and look for "content indexing". Your Confluence will remain usable while it runs.

How to display user avatar in the "created/last updated" page section
Asked by Vinicius Strasser:

Hello,  

In some Confluence spaces, I have seen the contributors avatars displayed in the created/last updated area of the pages.

Unfortunately, I could not find a way to display such information. In mine Confluence Server, the avatars are not shown.

Please check the example picture attached.  
The red area is not displayed in mine Confluence Server.

There are two standard macros in the server version, Profiles and Profile Picture, which display similar things. Your ad appears to be created by an additional app or a user macro.  
The profile pictures of the creator and user of the last change are displayed

Just have a look at the page where your illustration comes from, then you can see how it is done.

comments: author: Vinicius Strasser
body: Unfortunately, the Profile Picture it is not possible to be added to the same area where the "created/updated" information is displayed.  

I've made a quick test in Confluence Cloud, and it seems that this feature is available for the cloud but not the server.

This page shows the avatars (hosted by atlassian.net)  
<https://botronsoft.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ILV/pages/1108967469/3.3.1+Release+Notes>

<br />

This page does not show the avatars (server, I assume)

<https://confluence.xpand-it.com/display/XRAY/Xray+3.3.1+Release+Notes>

The final question now is if there is a way to show these avatars in the server.


author: repi
body: I don't find any such function in my cloud free version.


author: Vinicius Strasser
body: This is how it appears for me in Confluence Cloud - also the free version

For this result, I just created a Blank Page in my testing space.   
No settings were required.

Maybe it is possible to implement this in the Confluence Server configuring the layouts. There is an option to change the page layout under Settings / Look and Feel / Layouts. It seems I can change how the page is intended to be displayed in the "Page Layout".  
But still have no idea how to change this layout to display avatars....

Change default search settings
Asked by Andrey Permyakov:

How can i chanche deafault settings for search panel?

I would like the default search to be by all types and not just by page content.

Is it possible?


Answers:
author: Craig Senior
body: We have a similar use case in that we want to exclude certain pages from the default Search, we assumed by implementing a label "nosearch". Unfortunately, we cannot modify the default search to exclude objects (pages) with that label. Being able to modify the default search seems like an obvious, desirable capability.

Unfortunately I only saw your entry now. Perhaps you are interested in a real enterprise search solution for Confluence.

[iFinder Confluence Search](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1220508/ifinder-confluence-search?hosting=server&tab=overview) is available at Atlassian Marketplace and you can start directly with a trial.

Our [article](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Marketplace-Apps-Integrations/Enterprise-Search-for-Confluence/ba-p/1584172) in the Atlassian community will give you more information. If you like a demo first, please contact us at atlassian@intrafind.com

You cannot change the default values in the standard search field in the confluence header.  
However, you can work with the lifesearch macro if necessary.  
There you can define the default values.

Confluence Build Numbers Match but Confluence Won't Start
Asked by europoint:

I updated my Docker container and I am getting the following error:

*Confluence will not start up because the build number in the home directory \[8501\] is newer than the Confluence build number \[8401\].*

<br />

However, my confluence.cfg.xml has the following:

```
<buildNumber>8501</buildNumber>
```

And the latest value in the CONFVERSION table is also 8501 (Install date: 2020-06-08 23:47:41).

The log file shows the following message:

Where else is Confluence looking to determine that the build number is 8401 and not 8501?


Answers:
author: europoint
body: It looks like my Docker container environment variables weren't updating, so I deleted the container and Image and redeployed my stack, which then ensured that the correct build was communicated through to the Confluence.

You'll want to go back to a Confluence version that matches the database and upgrade it.
Overall performance & failures in Confluence Clound (Session Expired)
Asked by Chris van Daele:

Hello !

Since a few days we getting on a regular basis error messages in the confluence cloud instance. For example:

* Page tree navigation has failed to load
* Page content has failed to load
* Revert page content to the last published version is not possible

The space in which those errors occur doesn't matter, all spaces and all pages are affected.

Since we did not change anything in the configuration or installed any additional plugins we don't know what has caused those generall issues. In the daily business those errors makes the usage of confluence pretty cumbersome.

Thanks for feedback about this topic.

Change licensee on the front page
Asked by ChrissW-R1:

Hi guys,

we have a free community license, which shows a text on the bottom of every page:
> Powered by a free **Atlassian Confluence Community License** granted to {organization name}. [Evaluate Confluence today](https://www.atlassian.com/software/views/community-license-request).

Now our licensee organization changed in our licenses. We want to change the organization name in this text too. Any ideas, how we do this?

Answers:

You should probably ask the one who gave you the free community license.  
The entry could possibly also come from the "Custom HTML" area if it is displayed at the end of each page. Then have a look there.  
However, if it is a patched confluence version, then see above.

comments: author: ChrissW-R1
body: The text added automatically on the setup, by enter the license key.

I already asked the Atlassian support team, but they send me to the community to answer this question.

author: ChrissW-R1
body: Yeah, a good point. I send this discussion back to Atlassian.


author: repi
body: I think you need a new license key.  
The confluence recognizes from the key which type of license it is. For example, a productive license, a developer license or a community license. The name of the organization for which the license was created is then given in the community license.


author: ChrissW-R1

Scheduled Jobs descriptions and sources
Asked by Vitor LC:

Hi,

Is there a way to see a description for each scheduled job and which plug-in implemented it?

Thank you,

Vitor


Answers:
author: repi
body: [@Vitor LC](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/618006)

The schedule jobs are an integral part of confluence. The jobs all have a name that says what they do.  
You can only configure it and turn it on or off.  

[Scheduled jobs documentation](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/scheduled-jobs-96567525.html "Scheduled jobs documentation")

comments: author: Vitor LC
body: Hi [@repi](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/302600) ,

True, and thanks for your reply.

Most of the jobs are intuitive by their names, such as Back Up Confluence or Clean Temporary Directory, others fall into the scope of mystery (for me).

Examples are Publish Daily Statistics or Read Ack Expiration Job. Publishing daily statistics is pretty straight but which statistics, publish where and for what, and is it even a job scheduled by one of the system plug-ins or another third-party (don't find information about it anywhere)? And what is 'Ack'? What is this for?

In the list we have mixed third-party plug-in jobs with system plug-ins and it would be good to know which is their source. Sometimes the vendors are nice and they add the name of the plug-in in the name of the job (e.g. PocketQuery Index Job) but I reckon that not all do that.


author: repi
body: You have to inquire about the third-party jobs from them.  
The confluence own should be described in the attached link

cost optimize for comala
Asked by nikesh_umredkar:

Hi,

We are using the community license for Confluence.

We have many internal and external documents that should go through the workflow and approval process, so we wanted to explore the options. We found the comala being a helping tool for this objective, but the costing is not allowing us to go for it, because we have many internal/external/partners/consultant users.

Kindly suggest how to optimize the cost for comala?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: The cost of an app is determined by the user tier you have for the main application you have added it to.

I am guessing by "optimise" you mean you want to reduce the cost. There is no way to do this, other than reducing the number of (licenced) people using Confluence.

IFTTT macro to send emails when the due date is reached
Asked by anuradha govindan:

I have a due date column in a confiform table. I need to send an email notification 30 days prior to the due date. IFTTT macro is triggered on modification or error or creation. But I want this email notification to be triggered irrespective of any event, when the date is reached.

Restricting user access to only see a subset of pages in my Space
Asked by Liam North:

I have an external vendor, who I want to give access to my Confluence space, but only to a small set of around 5 pages. Is there a way to give this type of access without going through my entire space and restricting them from all the pages I don't want them to see?


Answers:
author: Kris G _Alacriz_
body: You have two options:

1. Move those page(s) to a separate space and give your vendor access to that new space only.

2. Allow them access to specific pages in the space and restrict all other pages from their view.

I hope that helps.

best,  
Kris


author: Carla Ann Rowland
body: Alternative method of your vendor only needs reading of those pages. Is make special space making the space inherited accesses for that vendor -- where they have read access and do page macros to include your original pages on the new pages.

the new sub pages will inherit the permissions on the new space.
