Dear friends,

I need to sort blog posts by month, for example

* 2017
  * Nov
  * Dec
* 2018
  * Jan
  * Feb

etc.  

But now my blog posts are sorted by years

How can I change the navigation tree depth?

Thank's in advance! :)

comments: author: Jennifer Hemmens
body: I'm not sure if that's because you're working on the cloud version, or if it's because you're not an administrator.


author: Jennifer Hemmens
body: Our blog automatically sorts them per year and month. We work on the server though, not the cloud.

However, maybe if you go to Space tools \> Look and Feel \> Layout \> Content Layouts \> Blog Post Layout, you can create a custom code to determine how they're displayed.

Confluence 6.2.3 + create Jira issue web service fill nfeed field.
Asked by Xavier:

Dear all,

I have a problem when creating a Jira ticket from Confluence using Confiforms + WebService.

I use the doc provide here:

<https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/TEST/Create+Jira+issue+with+webservice+connection>

It works good when using this example, and adapt it to our system.  
Now I would like to populate some others custom fields like Nfeed...

I add a DB DropDown which display a list of value (ID, LABEL)

in Jira, I have 2 nfeed fields customfield_12345 and customfield_12346.

This work fine:

```
{
??? "fields": {
?????? "project":
?????? {
????????? "key": "JTEST"
?????? },
?????? "summary": "[entry.summary.escapeJSON]",
?????? "assignee":{"name":"admin"},
?????? "description": "[entry.desc1.escapeJSON]",
       "customfield_12345": ["My option"]
?????? "issuetype": {
????????? "name": "Bug"
?????? }
?? }
}
```

My goal is to populate customfield_12346 (nfeed type) with the value selected on my DB Dropdown.

I try a lot of options, but no one works.

"customfield_12346": \[entry.mydbdrop.id\]

"customfield_12346": "\[entry.mydbdrop.id\]"

"customfield_12346": \[entry.mydbdrop\]

"customfield_12346": "\[entry.mydbdrop\]"

"customfield_12346": {"Code":"\[entry.mydbdrop\]"}...

The problem is that it seems my dropdown field value is not recognized

any idea ?

thanks in advance.  
regards

author: Xavier
body: found.  
it works writing code like this:

```
["[entry.mydbdrop]"]

Migrate data from clearspaceX to confluence
Asked by KOMAL AGARWAL:

Hi,

We have requirement to migrate data from clearspaceX to confluence. So, please if someone can let me know if there is a plug in to carry out this migration and also what will be the steps to be followed.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Komal Agarwal


Answers:
author: Ismael Jimoh
body: Hi

With regards your above question, I am not familiar with clearspacex however the first thing I would do would be checking in what formats can data be exported.

Next check what format of data can be imported to confluence. With these 2, you can then plan how you will perform your migration.

As for plugins, I'll say go to marketplace.atlassian.com to search for add-ons that canhandle this.

Hope the suggestion helps.
How to create synchronized video and text tutorial like oriole
Asked by Nitin Pasumarthy:

[https://www.safaribooksonline.com/oriole/?utm_source=oreilly\&utm_medium=newsite\&utm_campaign=oriole-data-structures](https://www.safaribooksonline.com/oriole/?utm_source=oreilly&utm_medium=newsite&utm_campaign=oriole-data-structures) is a nice way to teach a concept where the video is synchronized with text. Have a look at those links or Google more about this as it can be a little difficult to describe how they work in text here.

Is there a way to create a wiki with text and video which are in sync? On scrolling the text, the video seeks to that time and vice-versa.


Answers:
author: Daniel Eads
body: Hey Nitin,

That's a very cool way to look at content!

While I'm not coming up with any ideas to emulate that exact feature, a combination of other things comes to mind. [Youtube allows you to add captions to videos](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2734796?hl=en) (or even have Youtube try to automatically caption them). These videos can be unlisted so only people with the URL can view it.

Youtube videos can be embedded on Confluence pages or used with the [Learning Management System plugins](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?product=confluence&query=lms).

Depending on how you create the text for the video, you could also use timecoded links to jump to particular parts of the video. I found [some examples of javascript](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42060604/with-embedded-youtube-video-create-link-that-jumps-to-specific-time) that will let you skip to timecodes in an embedded Youtube video. These could be injected as hyperlinks on the text you want to be active.

It'll take some work, but I think you might be able to create an approximation of the example you gave.

Cheers,  
Daniel

comments: author: Nitin Pasumarthy
body: Thanks Daniel. Yeah i was thinking on similar lines. However automating these steps with a confluence plugin could be really helpful

Add filter or search to Confluence page
Asked by Michelle Gloss:

I have two Confluence pages, one for enhancement requests, and one for defects. Both of these pages pull from our Jira service desk project.

I want users to use the voting mechanism to give me an idea of the priority of the enhancements, and how many users a bug is affecting. The team is on board with these changes, but they want to be able to filter the tables or search the text so that they can easily determine if their request already exists.

Is there any way to add a filter (like there is in Jira's Filter by) or search in Confluence without having to purchase additional software? I am not a programmer.


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hi Michelle,

If you are asking to filter the results on a table in Confluence, then you would indeed need a 3rd party add-on.

For example:

* [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview)

However, if you're pulling data from JSD then you're likely using the Jira Issues Macro, and you can change the macro to display issues based on what JQL you give it.

If I have misunderstood your request, can you please clarify?

Shannon

comments: author: Michelle Gloss
body: I do need to filter the results on a table in Confluence. I do use a JQL query to pull the original list, but users still need to be able to filter it. My only other option is to build individual tables for each component, which is not feasible. Thank you for your response.

Reestablish application link after JIRA update
Asked by Alexander Lampert:

Hello Support Team,

I had confluence 6.12 and jira 7.12 in a server installation running. A hardware crash occured and the database gets corrupted. Jira was used as a user repo for confluence.

I could recover confluence using a database backup and had to set up jira from the start. I've chosen Jira V7.13. It starts successfully.

But I can't log into confluence. I try to establish the application link but didn't succeed as I need to activate the application link from confluence; where I cannot log in.

How can I connect to Confluence zo establish the application link. Or is there an other possibility.

Thanks for helping

Confluence - Data Center to Server
Asked by ?????????? ?????????:

Hello!

I need to switch from Confluence Data Center Evaluation to Confluence Server.

There is a way how to do it - <https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf612/moving-from-data-center-to-server-958778567.html>

Point 3 says that I need to move the remaining contents of my `<shared home>` directory to the root of my `<local home>` directory.

But after I did it, I can't start ?onfluence, because /etc/init.d/confluence runs confluence service from `<shared home>` directory, which is empty now.

Maybe I do not understand something?


Answers:
author: Stephen Sifers
body: Hello ?????????? and welcome to the Community!

You following the instructions perfectly. The issue you are having is due to Confluence being installed and setup as a service. Since you have moved the application path, the service will not start since nothing is there to start.

With this said, you can manually start/stop Confluence by executing the following:

Windows:

* To start Confluence run \<installation-directory\>\\bin\\start-confluence.bat
* To stop Confluence run \<installation-directory\>\\bin\\stop-confluence.bat

Linux:

* To start Confluence run \<installation-directory\>\\bin\\start-confluence.sh
* To stop Confluence run \<installation-directory\>\\bin\\stop-confluence.sh

Source document: [Start and Stop Confluence](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/start-and-stop-confluence-838416264.html)

Once you manually start the Confluence instance, you should be able to progress through the migration process.

Moving forward, you will need to modify your Confluence service to point to the new directory. This is a multi-step process which you can find out more about in [Start Confluence Automatically on Linux](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/start-confluence-automatically-on-linux-183148.html).

I hope you find this helpful and it allows you to progress forward with your migration.

Unable to add in-line comments in Confluence page
Asked by Narayanan Veeraraghavan:

When I select the text in a confluence page, the only option I get is to create a Jira task, but no in-line comments.

I've checked in the Admin section whether the Confluence InLine Comments is enabled - all 53 modules are.

I've checked in the User profile settings whether the Task Select is enabled (for the person with whom I have shared the page) - answer is Yes.

This seems to be the case for all Spaces.

Confluence version 6.10.0

Any thoughts what could be happening?

BTW, I have already referenced the below to trouble shoot:

Answers:

The issue is that you are trying to move one or more pages to a space that already has pages with the same names. The not very useful error is complaining about this. There isn't currently a way to see which pages are affected, so the workaround is to move a smaller number of pages until you narrow down which pages have duplicate names, then rename one of the duplicates so that you have all unique names. Sorry I don't have better news for you. :)

Setting up confluence as a single source repository for documentation
Asked by Jim Walther:

Has anyone set up Confluence as a single source repository for documentation? I am looking to use it to output multiple online documents for different audiences, reusing pages and adding new pages for specific audiences. I'm used to Flare and Robohelp, where I had a tree with branches. I think I can do something similar with Confluence.

I have created a folder called "Inclusions" where I have "chunks" of information in pages. Sometimes using excerpts as well. Then I place these in macros in a new page for the specific audience I am trying to reach. This part seems to work.

However, I want to ensure that, while keeping the information searchable, only I have the ability to edit the original repository. My current thought is to keep a space called "Repository" (or something like that) then pull inclusions from it into other spaces as needed by my audiences. Will that work? Is there something easier?


Answers:
author: Jim Walther
body: Thanks JP. I'll check out Scroll Versions.


author: JP _AC Bielefeld Leader_
body: Hi,

not sure if it's easier, but you might want to check an addon for Confluence named Scroll Versions, which allows for a version management for pages (like publishing all pages with a common version for public audience).

You can always use an "Include" macro to generate a page from different source pages \& you can have the "Excerpt" macro to define or display an excerpt of a page.

Best

JP


author: Jim Walther
body: One limitation I ran into (still new to Confluence--day 5--so it may not be a limitation) is that I can't have a page named the same thing in multiple places. I'm probably doing it wrong. I have similar content for three types of users, so I have a main page and subpages for each. Each page or subpage can only have as much content as a typical screen allows without scrolling. The subpages have some of the same information as each other, but not all of it.

I have been using inclusions to set up the subpages thus far. I created a "master" page for Development with the main topic, then subpages under it to simulate a table of contents. Each page has an inclusion rather than text so that I can make all changes in the master.

My problem is going to be when I make a new TOC for Sales and need to have several subpages with the same title as the other TOC. Right now I think I will need multiple spaces to create the different TOCs, on for Dev, one for Sales, etc. Is that the best option, or would something else work?

comments: author: roman
body: Hi [@Jim Walther](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2382751),

this is a limitation of Confluence. Page titles have to be unique in a single space.

By the way, one of the features of Scroll Versions is that you can have duplicate page titles in a space: <https://help.k15t.com/scroll-versions/latest/duplicate-page-titles-154872070.html>.

Hope this helps.
