Headings in Confluence
Asked by Lars B?hnke:

Hey,

i want to style my Confluence in a way that it looks like <https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/ALLDOC/Atlassian+Documentation> this. Smart grey Space titles above the headings, big headings and a little heading left over the sidebar. Actually it looks so: <http://wiki.ataulf.de>

Any Ideas?

Greetings

body: If you don't want to install Theme Builder or Zen then creating a custom style sheet is the only option. Log into the admin console and go to StyleSheet under the Look and Feel area of the sidebar. That's where the css will go.

comments: author: Lars B?hnke
body: To specify my question:

This is what it looks like at the moment: <http://cdn.imghack.se/images/0c38f0f68d7cc3032e147cc5b93596fe.png>

As you can see: Only standard headings in normal size and arial. No heading at the sidebar over the search box.

This is what it should look: <http://cdn.imghack.se/images/1d1c50753a63ea436c83c2cf73eb96b4.png>

As you can see now: Big headings in another font and a little heading in the same font above the sidebar.

The edit-author-and-more-stuff bar under the page header is normally visible whole time. Like you can see here again: <http://cdn.imghack.se/images/0c38f0f68d7cc3032e147cc5b93596fe.png>

The underline is written in a little grey and visible all the time.

In my other example from confluence (second link) this bar only appears when youre moving the mouse cursor on it. Otherwise its hidden. With the mouse on it it looks like this again:

<http://cdn.imghack.se/images/1d1c50753a63ea436c83c2cf73eb96b4.png>

Any ideas? Would be rly thankful!

Cheers!

How to configure a space to show all children at the bottom of the page
Asked by Marian Skupski:

On my Confluence on Demand instance, some of my spaces show the list of children at the bottom of one page, but some do not.

I would like to configure all of the spaces to show child pages, as this makes navigation (for me) much simpler.

I found an answer that showed how to configure a space to show child pages, but it does not appear to apply to Confluence on Demand.

Can someone tell me how this can be configured?

And, since I expect someone will ask, configuring the side bar is not what I'm looking for.

Confluence not syncing group deletions or name changes from Crowd
Asked by Ed Jackson:

We use Crowd as a user directory for Confluence. We have recently done quite a bit of work cleaning up groups in Crowd, as a lot of cruft had grown up over time.

While membership changes and new groups seem to be propagating correctly from Crowd to Confluence, group deletions and group name changes are not. The sync consistently reports success.

Changes are being correctly propagated to Jira and Bamboo.

I am at a loss on how to start diagnosing this, so any help would be welcome. We are using Crowd 2.6.4 and Confluence 4.3.3 (yes, I know, we need to update).

Thanks.

**Edit:** We have (finally) upgraded to Confluence 5.4.1 and we are still seeing this issue. I hesitate to try the proposed workaround until I have some reassurance that it's non-desctructive.


Answers:
author: Sorin Sbarnea (Citrix)
body: If you are using PostgreSQL backend this could be a workaround for making the sync work again.

```
begin;DELETE from cwd_membership where child_user_id in (SELECT id from cwd_user where external_id IN(SELECT external_id        FROM cwd_user        GROUP BY external_id, directory_id        HAVING COUNT(*) &gt; 1) ORDER BY external_id, ID LIMIT 1);DELETE from cwd_user where id in (SELECT id from cwd_user where external_id IN(SELECT external_id        FROM cwd_user        GROUP BY external_id, directory_id        HAVING COUNT(*) &gt; 1) ORDER BY external_id, ID LIMIT 1);commit;
```


author: nikhil khedlekar
body: A full sync can also be triggered by a Confluence app reboot rather than disabling Crowd directory. This resolved the issue for me - where some changes I had made to a user in Crowd (talking to AD) were not flowing back to Confluence.


author: Philip Colmer
body: I'd like to add that we're seeing this problem with JIRA as well but Tiago's suggested workaround does solve the problem. That said, it would be good if the problem didn't occur in the first place because typically the first time we know the problem has occurred is when it is affecting a user and that is not a good thing!


author: Matthew Olds
body: Has Ed's question been answered? I may have to do the same thing, and want to make sure there are no issues.


author: Tiago Comasseto
body: Hi Ed, is there any error in your Confluence log? Have you tried to force a full synchronization (not incremental)? If not, this case be done by disabling Crowd directory in Confluence, enabling it again and synchronizing the directory again.

Cheers

comments: author: Ed Jackson
body: Thanks for the quick response! There's nothing in the log that looks like an error, and there is a call to deleteCachedGroupsNotIn. It is finding the correct number of groups on the Crowd server, but there are still considerably more in the local list in Confluence. Will disabling the Crowd directory and re-enabling it cause any problems with permissions and document ownership when the users and groups (temporarily) disappear?

again problem with licensing html and table plugin
Asked by mario.widmer@sbb.ch:

Hi, we are working now with Confluence 5.1.5 and today. the HTML and Table Plugin are running out of license. We already have the new licenses on hand but the system seems not to accept them. Unfortunately, i can not see anything in the log too. I was able to get another 30 days Try license but that does solve the problem only for 30 days. What can i do to get help? Which part of the log shall i set to debug mode to have more infos? I am sure that the licenses are good and i checked not to insert wrong signals, space at the end of new line signals inside.

Thanks a lot


Answers:
author: Bob Swift (personal)
body: Open a support issue with Atlassian. Atlassian generates and installs license keys for Atlassian paid plugins like Table and HTML. You will need to provide more specifics like screen shot of the error showing the error generated when you try to install the permanent license.

Need advice about some plugins
Asked by Michael Danielsson:

Hi

The following plugins

RB Filtering - Confluence

RB Filtering - Core

RB Storage - Confluence

RB Storage - Core

RB Storage - Servlet

RB Supplier - Core

RB Support - Confluence

RB Support - Core

are present in a Confluence installation.

are they some sort of extended APIs?

Are any other plugins dependent of them?

Can they be safely removed?

Regards,

Michael Danielsson


Answers:
author: Michael Danielsson
body: Hi

I got the following answer from ServiceRocket:

For your information, those RB plugins are dependencies which contain functions that commonly used by our main plugins, to ensure it works as it should be.

author: RambanamP
body: As per my knowledge, those plugins are provided by thirdparty so if you feel those are not require then you can remove and make sure that those plugins are not used in your confluence

Google Analytics event tracking for Confluence attachments?
Asked by Odette Waanders:

Has anyone found a way to get Google Analytics (GA) event tracking working with attachments in Confluence?

GA event tracking requires a call to the**`_trackEvent()`** method in the source code of a page object, widget, or video i.e. for a video play, the following code needs to be added between the \<a href\> tags - \<a href="#" onClick="_gaq.push(\['_trackEvent', 'Videos', 'Play', 'Baby\\'s First Birthday'\]);"\>Play\</a\>.

However as Confluence uploads attachments through a macro, I can't seem to access the source code to insert the call.

We track visitors, pages etc through GA across two sites and would love to track attachments in Confluence from our public facing resource library (we're a health non profit). GA event tracking allows us to set up user defined categories, actions, labels and even assign a value to an event. Cross-tabbed with our other GA data (visitors, referral source, etc) this data would be invaulable for us!

Any and all suggestions welcome!

Cheers

"countif" in Confluence Tables
Asked by Steven Leysen:

Hi!  

I've been giving Google a quick whirl if it's available, but I can't seem to find it and hopefully I get a quick answer here ;)

Does anyone know if there is a plugin that allows me to use a countif("value"=whatever) in tables, in confluence?

Basically the same as the COUNTIF(...) function in Excel.

Already came across a plugin for filtering tables and with this one I could eliminate the use of yet another tool in our Company wiki page.

Thanks!

Answers:
author: Steven Leysen
body: I recently checked this with our confluence go-to guy, according to his knowledge the tables inside of Confluence see text as text and can't use it as cell values. (which makes sense)

Or there is some plugin we don't know about.


author: Andrey Khaneev _StiltSoft_
body: Hi!

There is a Table Filter add-on that can solve your problem in two different ways:

1. Using [Table Filter macro](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/TableFilter/How+to+use+Table+filter+macro) - you can filter table by value and get count of relevant rows. Look at this [screenshot](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/download/attachments/9404471/image2015-10-12%2014%3A33%3A49.png?version=1&modificationDate=1444649630000&api=v2&effects=border-simple,shadow-kn)
2. Using [Pivot Table macro](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/TableFilter/How+to+use+Pivot+table+macro) - this macro will calculate all unique values in a selected table column and will show count of each one. This macro can be combined with Table Filter macro if you need.

Hope it will help.

How do I show/hide sidebar in the documentation theme depending on a URL parameter?
Asked by Jeff:

I have put together product documentation using the documentation theme and link to individual articles from different parts of the product. In some cases, I want the sidebar to be expanded and in other cases I want the sidebar to be hidden, depending on which page the article is linked from and how big the window will be.

The logical way to accomplish this would be to include some kind of flag to indicate whether the sidebar should be shown or hidden:

http://{article_link}?show_sidebar=1

I couldn't see an obvious way to do this, so I was curious to see if this seemed feasible to anyone.


Answers:
author: Davin Studer
body: You could do something like this. I would add it to the "At end of the BODY" section of the Custom HTML page in Confluence Admin.

```
&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;AJS.toInit(function () {	var show = getParameterByName('show_sidebar');	var splitPos = AJS.$('#splitter .vsplitbar').css('left')	if((show === '1' &amp;&amp; splitPos === '0px') || (show === '0' &amp;&amp; splitPos != '0px')) {		AJS.$('#splitter-button').click();	}});function getParameterByName(name) {	name = name.replace(/[\[]/, "\\\[").replace(/[\]]/, "\\\]");	var regex = new RegExp("[\\?&amp;]" + name + "=([^&amp;#]*)"),	results = regex.exec(location.search);	return results == null ? "" : decodeURIComponent(results[1].replace(/\+/g, " "));}&lt;/script&gt;

Non-Admin Users Can't See Categories Menu in Confluence
Asked by Asai:

Greetings,

I know this probably a permissions issue, but I can't seem to get the Categories menu at the top to show up for users who have permissions to a particular space (using Refined Wiki). As a admin user, I can see the categories menu at the top, and when I click it, it drops down to reveal all the spaces within, but I cannot get the same functoinality to work for normal users. I have restricted normal users to have no permissions for anything other than add / edit for the space they're assigned to, but I don't understand why this would affect the categories menu.

Can anyone help with this?

Thanks!


Answers:
author: Dennis Andersen
body: Hey!  
This does seem like a permissions issue. A user can only see a category if he/she has view permission to at least one of the spaces in that category. If your user has view permission of a space in a category, it should be visible. If it isn't, check that you aren't using the manual category permissions. Here's some info from the RefinedWiki documentation: [Doc](http://demo.refinedwiki.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=30868471#Organizespaces&categories-Permission "Category Permissions")

Hope this helps!


author: Clyde Moseley
body: Gus we had an issue with one new user and toggling the manual permission checkbox worked for us as well.


author: Gus Welter
body: I had recently changed permissions on a lot of our spaces. I had also enabled Nested Groups in our Active Directory connector in Confluence. One user reported that she could access spaces through search and some other modules on the Dashboard, but she didn't have any of the category tabs at the top.

After extensive troubleshooting, I finally went into the RefinedWiki Category Them Configuration, changed Manual Category Permissions to Enabled, and then changed it back to Disabled. This finally fixed the problem, so it appears the RefinedWiki category permissions had somehow gotten stuck.

Confluence : CLI : https : Issue when running a simple command
Asked by Regis:

Hi There

I've installed an evaluation license for CLI. In a Confluence page, I've tried to launch a simple CLI command, to get the Space permission list and set the result in a CSV file.

So, in the body of the CLI macro, I set:

-a getSpacePermissionList --file junk.csv

Options: product=confluence; showCommand=true; server=myServer; subDirectory=.; user=raltmaye; password=myPassword

result: an exception:

I guess there could be a missing setting/configuration, because of my use of https?

You were sure to suggest such a thing :) I had tried it too. The result is consistent, I get the same error message, whatever command I try:
