Including page when user clicks a link
Asked by Stefano Arnone:

Hello, is it possible to have the include page macro change the included page when a javascript event is fired?

I'm looking for a way to dynamically change the included page.

Thank you


Answers:
author: Bill Bailey
body: In a word, no. The contents of the Include macro are render on the page before the page is displayed. Here is how the page code appears

```
<div class="conf-macro output-block" data-hasbody="false" data-macro-name="include">
[include page content]
</div>
```

So no parameter to reset.

What is the best way to add credentials in the confluence page?
Asked by Uthaya R:

I needs to mentioned user credentials in the confluence page , What is the best way to mention in the page , What are the option do we have in the confluence .


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Don't. You should never put credentials in a place that might be shared or become public.


author: Ismael Jimoh
body: Hi Uthaya,

I would not recommend mentioning a user's credential in any page for security reasons.

If you really must, add the usernames to a page and mention the user using the '@' operand.

However I **cannot** recommend adding the password to the page.

How to configure default sort order of new pages to be alphabetical?
Asked by Bart:

Using the cloud-hosted version of the product, newly created pages are being sorted by date created and not alphabetically. I can manually go to the parent page and resort A-Z, but it was my understanding that this was default behavior on page creation.

Is there a place to configure default sorting to be A-Z for all newly created pages?


Answers:
author: Elaine H.
body: Hi Bart,

There was indeed a change we made recently to the default sort order of newly created pages in Confluence Cloud as intended.

I just started a community discussion thread about this in more details. Please learn more at [Update to default sort order for newly created pages](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-discussions/Update-to-default-sort-order-for-newly-created-pages/m-p/955068#M3298) and leave any feedback you may have for us.

Warmly,

Elaine \| Confluence Product Manager


author: Shannon S
body: Hi Bart,

You can change the sort order in the Space Tools as seen on [Move, Copy, and Hide Pages](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/move-copy-and-hide-pages-724764858.html).

However, there appears to be a bug right now where new pages are not following the set sort order.

* [CONFCLOUD-64922](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-64922) *Newly created pages not respecting alphabetical sort*

If this is the issue you're running into, please feel free to vote on the request in order to show the number of users who are running into the problem.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Resolving dependencies of tutorial-confluence-macro-demo
Asked by ozzman:

Hi,

I'm following this tutorial to get started with confluence-macros: <https://developer.atlassian.com/server/confluence/creating-a-new-confluence-macro/>

I'm able to build the project skeleton but It seems that maven can't find all the dependencies. It seems that it gets stuck trying to download commons-beanutils-1.6 pom.

Confluence drag & drop files from a daughter page to a parent page does not work
Asked by jnunez:

Darg \& drop files from a current page to a master page does not work

<br />

I have two macro's of darg \& drop inserted in a page, the first, attached to a master page and the other attached to the current page.  
With Click button i select file and attachment on the master page and this is reflected, but when I do the darg \& drop file is attached to the current page

Is there a solution to this?

Thank you

=============


Answers:
author: JP _AC Bielefeld Leader_
body: Hi,

the drag \& drop function of the Attachment macro (I guess this is the macro you're using as there is no macro named drag\&drop in Confluence), is for physical files on your PC/Notebook/Network drive... It cannot be used to move/copy files from one page to another.

There is no need to move/copy the file around as you can easily refer to a file on the master page from the current page. The file doesn't even has to be in the same space. It can be stored in any space/page you like \& still be shown on the current page.

Best

Confluence Smart Numbered headings as Anchors
Asked by Chris Shepherd:

We currently have a huge document (200 a4 pages) which is created of sub pages inside a numbered headings macro:  

![23-11-2018 14-02-37.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/38444i9CC8CC988D5402A0/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "23-11-2018 14-02-37.png")

Which numbers fine. But the users would like to be able to setup links in the format  
**See Section 4.1.1**   

Where the text *See Section 4.1.1* is a hyperlink to a header on another page.   
They need to be able to keep the link and text up to date automatically - so that if we added a new page it might automatically renumber the heading to 5.1.1 and the link text changes to *See Section 5.1.1*

Do any plugins do this? Can it be done with Scriptrunner?


Answers:
author: Tim Jackson
body: Chris,

Were you able to find an answer to this - whilst the linking does work - the anchors are not dynamic, and therefore are not able to reference any changes in the source document...

Tim


author: Daniel Eads
body: Hi Chris,

Have a look at [the Anchor macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf68/anchors-947170225.html). Even when the heading numbers change in Numbered Headings, the anchor tags will be immutable. The anchor tag will need to be placed on all the pages you're including where the headers are at.

When you're linking to the anchors, you just need to make sure the link is for the page you're doing all the includes on. The anchor will be something like *\<confluencespace\>/page#anchor* where the anchor comes after the hash symbol. The anchor should come across from the included page onto your large page. You'll also need to make sure the anchors are unique across all the included pages so that the user's browser doesn't get confused trying to locate the anchor tag.

Cheers,  
Daniel

Notifications in Team Calendar Cloud
Asked by Emilia Mas:

Hello,

Is there any way to manage the authomatic notification of team calendars? Every time we make a change or add an event, everyone receives a notification, without being subscribed to the calendar. We would like to be able to stop the notification messages for being received.

Thanks in advance,

Emilia Mas


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hi Emilia,

Team Calendar will send out notifications for all calendars within a space to users who are watching that space.

Have a look at [Watch a Calendar](https://confluence.atlassian.com/teamcal/watch-a-calendar-247070749.html) for more details.

Can you confirm that the users haven't been automatically subscribed to the calendar? They can test this by going to the calendar and following the instructions to [Stop Watching a Calendar](https://confluence.atlassian.com/teamcalcloud/watch-a-calendar-909903917.html). In the past, I've also been able to resolve this by first watching the calendar and then stop watching it in succession, and the notifications were no longer received.

Regards,

Shannon

Buy Teams Calender for just one confluence user
Asked by Salvador Ruiz Cabrera:

Is it possible to by the license for just one user, even if in our confuence we have more than 50 users.

Reason:

We don?t want that each user has its own calender in confluence, we will not use the calender for any event or meeting. We just need a common calender for all the users to put their vacations.

So we would need just one license for one calender.


Answers:
author: P_D_ Foerster
body: Hi [@Salvador Ruiz Cabrera](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1692219),

as with all commercial plugins (apps) for Confluence your license **must match** the user tier license you have installed for Confluence itself.

Example: if you have a 50 user Confluence license you also have to purchase a 50 Confluence Team Calendar license.

Otherwise the plugin will not work.

Hope that helps!

Cheers,  
Patrice

Embed Confluence into website
Asked by Katie Browning:

Hi there,

Id like to embed Confluence Pages into my Joomla website but Im stuck as to how. Can somebody help me? I have tried an Iframe but it shows an message saying "Blocked by Content Security Policy" but Ive set permissions for everybody to be able to view. Online I saw something called a whitelist but I havnt been able to find it.  

Thanks so much in advance for any help,

Sincerely

Answers:
author: Bill Bailey
body: Why do you want to embed Confluence? My suggestion would be to just have it as a subdomain (e.g., confluence,example.com or help.example.com), then work on branding to give it a similar appearance to your website -- works much better.

comments: author: Katie Browning
body: Thanks for that answer, I may end up doing that. Id love to put it in my site, as Id like to keep members in my site but if in the end I have to send them out I guess thats ok. Can I change the url to make it look like its inside my site, instead in Atlassian?

Sorry im new to Atlassian and Im loving it, just learning what its capable of. Can I change the look and feel?

I thought Iframe was possible..I can see the Iframe box but the security says it wont allow.


author: Bill Bailey
body: If you are running the server version and it is not behind a firewall, then yes. You just assign a subdomain of your domain name to point to the IP address of your Confluence server.

If you are on cloud, then no. See this (still open) request [CLOUD-6999](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CLOUD-6999)

Yet another plus for the server version. ;-)
Page Icons - edit etc
Asked by Andy Lewis:

i have a user who has edit rights and can edit by keyboard shortcut, but the icons dont appear on his page. They are there if you hover in the right place but not visible if you dont know where they are!

He is using edge, is this a known issue, or are we missing something?


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hi Andrew,

Can you first make sure that he's not blocking any of the domains or IP addresses that Confluence Cloud needs to have open in order to serve the images?

Additionally, you'll want to [check the developer console](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/devtools-guide) to see why the images might be blocked. It could be an add-on or security protocol causing it.

Can you tell me if all users with Edge on your network are having the same issue? Is he able to replicate this inside and outside of his current network, and it doesn't occur on any other browsers?

Regards,

Shannon

upstream and downstream for tracing derived requirements
Asked by Thomas Chae:

Hi, I'm new to Confluence. Could you direct me where I can find some information how to implement the traceability between origins of requirement and all derived requirements?

Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hi Thomas,

I'm not too familiar with this requirement, but have a look first at [this blog post regarding tracking product requirements](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/blog/2015/08/how-to-document-product-requirements-in-confluence).

In addition, I found the following discussion that might get you started:

* [Best approach to tracking use cases, product requirements, and validation tests?](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Best-approach-to-tracking-use-cases-product-requirements-and/qaq-p/618180)

If this doesn't meet your needs, perhaps it may be easier if you clarify exactly what you need so those of us familiar with Confluence can let you know how to best meet the needs for your business.
