Customize CSS for online presentation?
Asked by Lisa Perkins:

Is there any way to customize the CSS to affect a wiki's on-screen appearance? In particular, I'd like to customize the font size and color for h1, h2, h3, etc.

I see that any rules added to the PDF stylesheet affect only a wiki exported as a PDF.

Thanks!


Answers:
author: Stephen Deutsch
body: Since you are running Confluence cloud, unfortunately the only CSS customizations that are available are on a page by page basis. You'll need to have the Adaptavist Content Formatting Macros enabled and include the CSS Stylesheet macro in your page.


author: Lisa Perkins
body: I'm now trying your second suggestion:

<https://scangroup-priscan.atlassian.net/admin/viewstylesheet.action>

...and I'm getting a never-ending wait cursor...

I'm using Confluence Cloud (I suspect that's where the customization limitations come in).

(I'm also being limited to only three questions or comments because I don't have 25 points -- I'm not sure how to go about earning those -- so I can only edit my existing questions and comments. I hope you find them here.)

Is it possible to set up admin rights just for a page?
Asked by Mahima Menon:


Answers:
author: Mallmann
body: Hello Mahima,

Can you elaborate a bit more what you want to achieve? Maybe you're looking for another option other than admin rights itself, since Nic's answer clarifies about the admin rights on page level.

Eduardo


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: I'm not sure what you think "admin rights" would do at a page level.

You can set page restrictions for read and edit, but admin is about looking after a space, not a page.
Can you add comments or notes to an action item in a meeting notes
Asked by Ian Knight:

We assign action items to our meeting notes.

The first thing we do in the next meeting is go through the incomplete meeting note tasks.

How can we add notes/comments to these tasks so that they are visible in the next meeting note created?


Answers:
author: Peter Van de Voorde
body: Hi Ian,

You could use inline comments for this (see: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Commenting+on+pages+and+blog+posts#Commentingonpagesandblogposts-Addaninlinecomment> )

Best Regards,

Peter

comments: author: Ian Knight
body: PeterWe tried that but you cant add a comment to a task as it has a @mention in it!


author: Peter Van de Voorde
body: Hi Ian, I just tried it and was able to do inline comments on action items without a problem (just don't select the @mention part):<http://i.imgur.com/709v0fN.jpg>Best Regards,Peter


author: Ian Knight
body: PeterI just tried it again and I get the following error 'We can't add your inline comment; the section you highlighted may contain a macro or user mention. Try highlighting plain text.' I only highlighted a bit of plain text not the @mention or date. This could be an error, are you using the cloud version?Even if this worked the comment would only be on this page, not with the task.


author: Peter Van de Voorde
body: I'm using Confluence 5.7.1 Server version, so it might be related to the Cloud version. You do have a point that it's not related to the task.I don't believe it's possible to add extra comments on a task in Confluence, you could ofcourse create a JIRA issue for it and link that from the Action List.

Attachments & paperclip in Confluence
Asked by DM:

Hi,

is there a way to change the way the attachments are shown in Confluence?

Particularly I mean the paperclip. Instead of first clicking on it, is there a way to show all the PDFs / ODTs / ... directly?

Thanks


Answers:

comments: author: DM
body: Hi Nils,Yes I already tried that, but I'm searching for a permanent \& standard solution, Do you know anything like that?Is there a way to change something in the blueprints / layouts that would help?Best regards,Daniel


author: TomC
body: Hi Daniel,

I would have responded similar to @Nils Bier (K15t Software). There are 'theming' plugins that allow this in an elegant fashion, but I'm sure you are looking for something 'out of the box'. I suppose you don't want to use the 'File List' blueprint that is already available by default? How about creating a blueprint with the Attachment macro?

Customer Cockpit / Customer query in Confluence
Asked by Alexander Sch?tzle:

Hello everybody,

I'm trying to invent a kind of "mini-CRM" in Confluence. I thought about our agents. They would like to have an overview of their customers, let's call it a "Customer Cockpit".

Is it possible to build in a query, where the agents can type in the customer number, and the main figures are shown up? (Turnover, margin etc.) (Data from Database)

I thought about the Bobswift SQL Add-On plus Run-Selfservice Reports.

Or the Play SQL Add-On plus Play SQL forms.

Did anybody try to realize a similar thing?

Thanks to everybody!

Greets Alex


Answers:
author: Adrien Ragot 2
body: Play SQL Base will do this, using "user parameters". It displays a form above the table. No need for Play SQL Forms yet.

Can the default sign in page for Confluence Cloud be changed?
Asked by Grzegorz Stopa:

When navigating to our new confluence site the user is shown the standard login page.

On left top the AtlassianCloud logo is shown and below the login box the tekst refers to JIRA administrators; "To request an account, please contact your JIRA administrators."

As our users do not necessarily know what JIRA or that this refers to the confluence site administrators, this will create confusion if not possible to change. Please advise if we can customize the default signup page of Confluence Cloud.

Can we change the default 'Welcome to Atlassian Cloud' e-mail message sent when creating user accounts?
Asked by Grzegorz Stopa:

We would like to configure our email server, subject and body for the email message that is automatically sent when we create new users in our confluence page.

Is this possible? We are using Confluence Cloud.


Answers:

I'm afraid there's no such option to customise e-mail templates on Confluence Cloud.

SubSpace Plugin - 5.7.3 Partially Working
Asked by Greg Roberts:

Hi

I installed the subspace plugin and had everything except "Subspace panel CF4"

I see no breadcrumbs or altered menu systems. It does show the configuration of spaces in the admin and "space tools" at the bottom of a space page.

However I see no visible presence of the tool. Not in the menus , breadcrumbs, or titlebar.

\>\> What could the problem be ?

NB: I am a system admin, when I look at subspace in the admin area it shows it under "user-installed" while the confluence shows up under System.   
\>\> Should a plugin for all show up under the admin user ?

NB: When I enabled "Subspace panel CF4" I get a second left hand side menu system below the default with subspaces showing.

I did not see anything obvious in <https://support.communardo.de/display/cssp/Userguide+Release+2.0>

Thanks in advance


Answers:
author: Greg Roberts
body: The solution turned out to be obvious once you realised that some config id enabled, e.g. even though it shows breadcrumbs is enabled, you then have to "activate" it in a separate setting.

At the bottom of [http://\<server\>/admin/subspace/configuresubspace.action](http://syd-oos-con01c/admin/subspace/configuresubspace.action)

The Dashboard treeview does not work for 5.7.3

Daily Digest for watched spaces/pages
Asked by Ray DR:

We have a lot of spaces/pages in our company and watching one space results in a great deal of emails whenever changes are made.  
Right now the daily digest sends an email of every change made in our Confluence Instance daily which is more than we need to see.  

**Is there a way to create a daily digest of only the spaces and pages we are watching?**


Answers:
author: Michael Buchsbaum
body: I've been wondering the same thing myself. It is ridiculous the number of e-mails we get daily every time a word is changed on a page. It would be much more efficient to cache all of the updates until a pre-selected time and then send a digest e-mail with all of them at once.


author: Mattie Vukmir
body: As far as I'm aware, I don't think they have this ability. I definitely would love to see a daily digest for updates to a single space each day and not receive everything from one space every time or everything from the whole site once a day when we just need to see one space. Perhaps if there is enough interest and push from users they will create this ability.


author: Susan Ostreicher
body: For what it's worth, it looks like there is an open feature request here:

<https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-12865>


author: Lauren Hanyok
body: I didn't see this thread and posted the same question earlier this year. Our organization is so large (and honestly Confluence was not pushed out with much training or strategies on how to create spaces - which are open by default, and I think that's backwards, everything should be private by default until you open it) that i would much rather see a daily digest of what i'm watching instead of a daily digest of "everything that has changed". For us, that is literally hundreds of pages I don't care about or may not even have a need to know.

Content by label in a table
Asked by Ray DR:

I would like to list contents by label inside an existing table.  
I would like each page name (link) to appear in a new cell of an existing table.  

Is there a way I can insert a content by label macro in an existing table and have new entries automatically appear in new cells?


Answers:
author: Natalie Gamboa
body: I have the same request, Page Properties macros apply to the entire page not just to the labeled text within a table - never mind that it seems you cannot label text on its own outside of an entire page, space or blog.


author: Greg Kuhn
body: sounds like:

* [Page Properties](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Page+Properties+Macro) and [Page Properties Report](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Page+Properties+Report+Macro) macro - content that you enter within the page properties macro can appear on the index page.

Condencing multiple Confluence spaces into one
Asked by Tony DiTola:

Right now, we have multiple spaces for project teams, i.e. "Project Team 1" space, "Project Team 2" space, etc. It has been decided by management that theses spaces should just be under a new "Software Development" space.

Each of these current spaces has a multitude of child pages describing the different projects they have or are working on.

Is there a way to get all of the Project Team spaces into a single space while retaining their page hierarchy? I'm sort of envisioning a Software Development space, with each Project Team page in the Page Tree on the left with a greater than sign. Clicking on that page would show the same page as is currently seen when going to their space and expand the tree to show the child pages.


Answers:
author: Tony DiTola
body: Figured it out. Admins can move spaces to other spaces using the Move option in the Tools drop down menu. It moves all the child pages in their proper tree order as well.

It won't allow duplicate page names in the space even if they are under different trees. It will alert you to any such issues so you can fix them and re-try the move.

Also, it does not delete the original space. That has to be done (if desired) in the Space Directory

Issuu
Asked by minesh patel:

Hello,

I am trying to embed some HTML code for an issuu publication onto my confluence page. I am using confluence version 4.3.7.

Have used the HTML Macro, but that didn't work. Does anyone know how to do this?? Thanks.


Answers:
author: Giuliano C.
body: You can give a try to check if the add-on is actually enabled in the database with the query below, sir:

```
select BANDANAVALUE from BANDANA where BANDANAKEY = 'plugin.manager.state.Map';
```

I believe it will be enabled, once you have it displayed in the UI of the add-ons. However, if you find any information related to having the add-on with a **false** flag, we may consider updating this value.

Regards,

Giuliano

comments: author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Remember, this is a \*read\* activity, you can't just set the flag on in the database - addons need to be loaded and initialised, which can only be done as JIRA starts up, or by being enabled in the UI.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: The html macros should work for some basic html stuff, so the question is what do you mean by "didn't work"? What did you try, what did you get and what did you expect?

comments: author: minesh patel
body: Nic,

I have used Confluence HTML Macro and it says "Unknown macro 'html' ". I expect the publication being displayed on the page in the form of a flipbook (turn pages).


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: I'd say the "unknown macro" is a bit of a giveaway - you've not got the macro enabled at a guess. Check the addon list.


author: minesh patel
body: Nic,I have enable all the modules on the Confluence HTML macro but it still doesn't work. It says "The macro 'html' is unknown. It may have been removed from the system." It's still installed as one of my add-ons.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: I still doubt it's enabled. If it were enabled, you would be getting a different error message.Could you try reading the log for when you try to use it on a page, and then go to the addon list, find the addon that provides it, open up the list of modules and try re-enabling it, and then read the log to see if that caused any warnings or errors?

How I can edit Restricted Pages ?
Asked by xattab:

I have a System Administrator permissions, but don't have permissions to edit Restricted Pages. How can i fix this ?


Answers:
author: Jobin Kuruvilla [Adaptavist]
body: The only way to do this would be to remove the restrictions and you can do that as an administrator.

In case you're still facing this problem, you can remove the permissions through the database by following this guide: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONFKB/Page+is+Not+Editable+Due+to+Page+Restrictions>

I hope it helps!

author: Paulo Hennig

To add or remove page restrictions, you'll need to have permissions to edit the page and 'Restrict' or 'Admin' permission in the space.

Storage of tiny links on database
Asked by Jens Kasperek (Bosch GmbH):

Hey! I would like to know, where I can find the tiny links related to each page on database?

This would be helpful for doing a manual change or exporting a space and import it to another instance.


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Ah, they're not stored in the database, they're generated when you view the page properties.

I'm not entirely sure how they are generated, but I suspect it's just \<confluence base url\>/x/\<something based on page's database id\>, so if you import it into another instance, the shortcode at the end is going to change.

comments: author: Jens Kasperek
body: Hey! Thanks for your response!I think the shortcuts after the /x/ must be stored somewhere since you can copy the link and spread it to your users and all users will get to the same page when opening the link. Yet, I do not know where this information is stored.To avoid broken links after importing a space from another instance, I wondered if I can 'save' the tiny links and paste them to the new instance.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: I think you've misunderstood my answer. The short code is generated when it is needed. NOT stored in the database.It is based on something that does not change (I'm pretty sure it's the page id), so it doesn't appear to change, but it's not stored and I suspect it changes when you import pages in another instance.


author: Jens Kasperek (Bosch GmbH)
body: Okay, I thought that it has to be stored on any table, since it does not change once it is created. So, there is no way to take a backup of them and restore it :( This is very bad, since plenty of links will get broken!
This webpage is not available
Asked by Ariel Zamir:

after im creating a new space im getting "This webpage is not available"

the space is created buy still i have to go back in order to use the new space


Answers:
author: Giuliano C.
body: Hi Ariel,

Some possibilities to consider:

* Check if you are using any proxy or redirection for the instance
* As mentioned by Jobin, check for the Base Url of the instance
* Check if the URL for the space creation is different than the ones expected for when you are creating a Confluence content

Hope it helps ya!
