My team member has left a board, but is still getting notifications. How do you stop this?
Asked by Ben Maas:

My team member has left a board, but is still getting notifications about the activity on cards on that board. How do you stop this?


Answers:

body: [@Iain Dooley](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1416112) Thanks for the suggestion re the Watch check box, this seems to have been it. We did not realise this had happened. Thanks for the tip!


author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Ben Maas](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2661364) if she is still a member of a team, and has watched any of the cards (which she will have by default because of that stupid checkbox Trello added in recently) then she will still get notified. You can remove her from the team to fix the problem. I think if you remove her from the team and she loses access to all those boards, then you re-add her it should "reset" the situation and she won't get those notifications any more.


author: Ben Maas
body: Hi [@Ben Maas](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2661364),

Did the user 'watch' any of the cards on the board? Looking into the [trello documentation](https://help.trello.com/article/793-receiving-trello-notifications) seems to treat card and board notification separately.

Thanks

comments: author: Ben Maas
body: HI Danny,

I don't think so, we generally don't use the watch function. My teammate was covering for me during a leave spell, and she joined the board and commented on the cards. Since i have returned she has left the board, but is still getting notifications regarding the card activity.

Cheers

Error when following "Creating blueprints with Confluence Connect" article
Asked by Robert McCabe:

I'm following this article:  
<https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/multi-page-blueprints-with-confluence-connect/>

And when I run the "npm install" step, I get this error:

Thanks for linking to this post from your original ( [How to create a template with nested pages](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/How-to-create-a-template-with-nested-pages/qaq-p/1714148) ). The screenshots of your errors are helpful, I was able to find a related thread within our developer Community that covers the same error/issue you're presenting. Please take a look at [Create add-on project.](https://community.developer.atlassian.com/t/create-add-on-project/13644/3)

From that thread, it seems they found a solution by using 'yarn'.

Do note that the Developer Community is not the same our this Community, with this said you may have to create/sign in to the Developer Community if it's your first time visiting.

Thanks for the info - I actually seen this article but using Yarn is a workaround, rather than a fix to this problem - I think you guys need to update the repo from the demo with a version of ngRok that is valid.

Is that something that can be done? Otherwise, other people will come across the same issue.

Thanks

own Macro - how can I read out the user detail data
Asked by e_baum:

Hello,

I try to create my own macro and I want to read out the user details like the phone number.

At the meantime I get the userPicture and the full name. But how can I read the details?

I have this:

#set( $profileUser = $userAccessor.getUserByName($param0) )

#set( $userFullName = $profileUser.getFullName() )

This works fine.

I tried something like

Adding multiple JIRA issue macros via API shows same data in all tables.
Asked by Farwa Shahid:

I'm creating a blogpost with multiple JIRA issue macro and inserting them via markup / wiki representation.  
While the page is reloading, all the titles are correct but once it loads completely, all the titles and tables are same as of first table.

When I inspect / edit the markup the jql, title etc everything is correct but the data being shown in the post isn't.

I tried converting from wiki to storage format and also adding the tables one by one hitting the API multiple times but that didn't work.

[https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-52556?error=login_required\&error_description=Login+required\&state=58fd704a-5326-449b-9499-a7fedee67cc8](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-52556?error=login_required&error_description=Login+required&state=58fd704a-5326-449b-9499-a7fedee67cc8)  
this was a known bug back in 2017 but I can't see a proper workaround for this.

The one mentioned on the ticket is to manually edit and insert all the tables.  
having multiple tables on a page (30+) and updating them all manually would kill the purpose. Is there anything else that I can do ?

this is my markup

{jiraissues:anonymous=false\|project="myProject" AND fixVersion="someRelease" AND component="some team name"\|columns=key;title;type;release note\|title="some title"}

How to remove undefined, placeholder pages
Asked by Olivia Sch?tt:

How can I remove undefined placeholder pages?

![undefined pages.JPG](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/146498i051BBDD3858685E3/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "undefined pages.JPG")


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Edit the pages which the undefined pages are mentioned on, and remove or correct their link to the undefined page. (i.e. work through the right hand column in your list)

The "undefined pages" label for these does not explain what they really are. They're not pages, they are "pages that do not exist, but are linked to by other pages". It's a common thing to do in a wiki - write a page, putting in links to other pages that don't exist as a reminder to create the targets later. But many humans get the names wrong, and a lot of us forget to go back over and create new linked pages (or forget to ask other people to add the pages)

comments: author: Olivia Sch?tt
body: thx, Atlassian could remove them by reindexing the space, it seems these pages were just sticking around.

Otherwise, I would have to try your solution but happy to not edit 300 pages one by one.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Eh? That's nonsense. The whole point of these undefined pages is that there is nothing there to delete, they're not pages, they're pointers to pages that are not there.

There's no removing them, other than by deleting the actual pointers you've got in the pages that are pointing at things that aren't there.

If Atlassian have "removed them", they've done it by deleting the links from your content, not by indexing (although, the list is being drawn from the index, and if you've actually removed the links from the pages and something went wrong with the post-edit indexing, then re-indexing would remove them from the list. But you've still had to edit the pages with the links, and you really need to look at why the indexing is failing)


author: Olivia Sch?tt
body: Yes, I did actually remove the pages and the links were not removed correctly. The reindex solved this.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Hmm, I'd be worried about why the standard indexing is not working. That sort of behaviour is something that I've always ended up investigating and finding a broken installation. But, it's Cloud, something that Atlassian would need to investigate.

Is there a way for Jira licensed users to view Confluence spaces
Asked by Luke Wilson:

My company has several hundred users in Jira and a 10 user licensed max in our Confluence. I have created a link to between the two and created links between spaces and projects (as suggested here <https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/How-to-give-space-access-to-unlicensed-users/qaq-p/1023522> ), however I have not been able to get my Jira users access to the Confluence spaces, without  
a) consuming Confluence licences  
b) making the Confluence spaces publicly viewable   
c) spend 27k per year on extra Confluence licences

Is there a way around this?


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Luke Wilson](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4392728) Welcome to the Atlassian Community.

In order for someone to see Confluence pages that are not public, they need a Confluence license. If you are using Confluence on projects, meeting notes, collaboration, documentation, etc. the return on ROI is there.

If collaboration, productivity, etc is not a priority I have seen companies use Jira Service Management. They set up a Confluence space as a knowledge base since this is all they need and connect it to a service desk. Jira service management allows users of the product to access Confluence pages through its knowledge base feature. You can search for knowledge base articles through the service desk. This is an option you could use but I do not think it would be what you are looking for nor would it provide the functionality that I am guessing you really want.

Attachment macro - multiple labels does not work
Asked by Heather W:

Hi,

I have a page with multiple attachment macros set up to organize the files. One of the macros has 4 labels in the macro's settings. When I updated a document with one of those 4 labels, it isn't getting associated with that macro. Even with 2 labels, that function didn't work; I could only get it to work with one label.

Is there a trick to setting them up (comma doesn't work) or is this a bug?

TIA,

Heather


Answers:
author: Fabienne Gerhard
body: Hi [@Heather W](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2043034)

as in documentation written [here](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/attachments-macro-97911315.html), multiple labels for attachments written should be separated using commas. Doesn't matter setting space after comma (checked it out). What does not work is using Upper- and lower cases in the settings of the macro.

What is happening when you click Preview when using 2 labels, 3 labels and than 4 labels?

Maybe there are also other settings that don't match to the mentioned 4 labels?

Hope this helps - feel free to ask for more help.

Cheers Fabienne

comments: author: Heather W
body: Hi Fabienne,

Sorry, the issue is the macro label setting not the label on the document. If I put more than one label in the macro settings, then any document with one of those labels doesn't get picked up by that macro.

As I mentioned, I tried with commas - doesn't work. Only works with one label set up in the macro.

Thanks.

Search filtering within a single confluence page
Asked by Steve_Miller-Perry:

As a Researcher, I want to be able to search for ONLY information within a single page that i have visited/i am currently on, so that I can narrow my searches on a long confluence page.

Can this be solved and if so how? Thanks

Advanced search allows you to search spaces, contributors, type, last modified, labels, pages under a specific page. It does not allow you to search on a specific page.

On the page, you can use the browser's search by clicking ctrl + F.

Looking for an easy way to save a Confluence page as a template
Asked by Mark Mulik:

Hi.

I keep thinking there must be an easy way to take an existing page and save that as a template, but I haven't found it. I found some old posts here from many years ago talking about workarounds for making that happen. Since this seems like something everyone would want to be able to do, I'm hoping Atlassian has addressed this problem or maybe can explain why the software works the way it does.

For context, let's say I have a Word file, and I want to save it as a template. I simply open the document, make my edits, and then save it as a template. I can then open the template, make changes, save it as another template, and so forth. Simple.

Thanks.


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Mark Mulik](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3819330)

Nothing has changed from the information that you found from years ago. Templates still have to be created as a template and there is no way to create a template from a page. I have been using the product for about a decade and it has always been this way. My guess is it was architected this way. There is a feature request for the functionality that you want and was submitted in 2006 but it has never gained any traction. <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-5877>

Has the placeholder text functionality been removed from Confluence?
Asked by Christopher Brown:

I am trying to add placeholder text to a Confluence page and don't see the option. It has been a few months since I have used that function, so wondering if it's been removed?


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: If your template editor is using the new Confluence editor, then you'll find the **Placeholder text** macro under the **+** sign menu.

Some templates might still be using the legacy editor. For these, you will instead find a menu item with a page icon, and it's called **Instructional text** instead.

By the way, this macro is only available in the template editor. So if any of your users try to add it when editing a page in Confluence, it won't be possible.

Change addons source files
Asked by Amir:

How can I change \& edit an addon's macro. for example some addon has a macro to show something or create a page or a template and I want to edit and customize a section or a part of that template or macro?

Thanks


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: It depends on how the app is built and where it's doing the work you want to change.

A typical app that provides a Confluence macro is a .jar file you add to your server. .jar files in general are really zipped up blocks of files that are suitable for java to use as an executable set of instructions and supporting resources.

For Atlassian apps, the files tend to be a mix of usable classes and resources which feed into displaying and rendering stuff - some javascript, css, jsp, etc, and quite often, velocity templates which are usually about displaying a macro when rendered (my first confluence app was 3 small classes and an over-engineered velocity template, as I found it easier to code for velocity than java at the time). These resources are plain text, but are effectively code (unlike the classes which are the results of compiled code)

So. If what you want to change is being done by templates or resources, you could unzip the app, hack the text files and re-zip the file, then re-deploy it over the top of the old one in your server.

But if the changes you want are done in the compiled code, you are not going to be able to do that (without a pile of reverse engineering)

None of that can be recommended at any point, what you really should do is get the source code for the app and recompile it properly after making your changes in the source. If you hack someone else's app, you could be breaching the terms of usage, you're certainly going to leave yourself unsupported with that app, and if it's one of the core Confluence apps, your entire Confluence system goes out of support (in all cases, keep the original .jar file handy - you can become supported again by deleting your version and putting the original back)
