How do I add a hyperlink to an image?

body: Hi [@Library Curator](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1332822),

[@Max Foerster - K15t](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/693014) is right. According to the [Confluence Cloud Editor Roadmap](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/confluence-cloud-editor-roadmap-967314556.html) this feature is not available in the new editor. It is only available for "old pages" that have been converted to the new editor, but not for pages that have been created via the new editor.

Here is the issue where you can vote for the feature to be brought back: <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-65640>

Why is roadmap planner macro output not showing up in PDF Export?
Asked by Ganesan Srinivasan:

I am using confluence on the cloud. When I export the page to PDF, the road maps created using Roadmap planner macro is not appearing in the PDF. I even tried using it with a simple page, with just a sample roadmap, the default one created by the planner macro. Still no luck.

Are there any known issues/limitation with the planner macro and pdf export? It appears it is not working with PDF export.


Answers:
author: Indy Sue
body: Very unhappy that this issue has remained for such a long period of time. My entire Division is effected in that we are not able to export into a PDF the document created in Confluence. Using an in-between vessel of WORD does not render in the same format as the PDF version does. PLEASE make the rendering of the ROADMAP PLANNER a top ASAP priority for PDF exporting!!!


author: Jessica
body: Hi [@Ganesan Srinivasan](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2830332) ! I believe there is a bug reported for this at this time. You can see that here:

<https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-68625>

You can watch that issue to be notified of updates and vote on it as well.

There is a workaround that may work for you in the meantime.

### Workaround {#toc-hId-1117838067}

Export the document to Word and then, convert it/save as a PDF file.

Hope that helps!

comments: author: Ganesan Srinivasan
body: Well the problem is I am getting an error trying to export to word and that is the reason I wanted to print it at least to a pdf. The error I am getting exporting word is

The webpage at **<https://OurSiteName.atlassian.net/wiki/exportword?pageId=289243246>** might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.


author: Jessica
body: [@Ganesan Srinivasan](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2830332) , by chance do you have any images on the page? I saw this other thread where someone had a similar issue and removing the images fixed the issue.

You can see more in the link below.

<https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Cannot-export-to-word/qaq-p/1048834>

Let me know if that works!


author: Ganesan Srinivasan
body: No, I do not have any images but have an embedded JIRA Issue/Filter which is pulling the issues list from our JIRA on premise server. It is working fine within confluence and also while exporting to PDF but am getting the temporarily down message while exporting to word. I deleted the JIRA issue/filter and the export to word seem to be working fine in that instance.

[@Jessica](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3581000) , just wanted to make sure you understand that this does not solve my problem because not having JIRA issue/filter on the page is not an option for me. If there is no other option and I will have to wait for the roadmap macro fix, please let me know so that I do not waste time looking for a workaround.


author: Birin
body: My solution was:

Screen capture your roadmap (can use light shot, snipping tool, etc), then paste the roadmap as an image in to the document. then convert to PDF, you can have the roadmap inside :)

body: Hi [@mayank sharma](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3736191)

As we have in Jira if a new issue raises, the user that creates an issue is creator and reporter. But he/she can change the reporter if he/she has permission to modify the reporter. So the creator can not changeable but the reporter can. In confluence also have a creator like a creator in Jira and can not change, but ownedBy or owner can change like reporter in jira.

How to access local shared drive (Microsoft Active Directory) from an webpage

Hi I am looking to get a solution for this issue, we basically want to access a shared folder which has a qualified URL and trying to refer to pdf/word documents stored there from within confluence pages. How do we do that?

Answers:

body: The best you can do here is use external links in Confluence to point to each file you want from the shared folder. You won't get any of the benefits of attaching the files to Confluence (preview, versions etc) and if there are any renames or changes, the links will break

Confluence - OOPS Your task change couldn't be saved
Asked by Dean Bigbee:

**Install:** Confluence Cloud

**Browsers Tested:** Safari, Chrome, Brave (across multiple users on each)

**Details:**

Our organization has been dealing with this issue for nearly 2 years. About 1 in 20 tasks will never be able to close out, due to this error upon clicking the checkbox. It makes Confluence unusable for action item tracking.

We've tried workarounds - such as deleting the task from the page (which doesn't delete it from the task list), deleting the entire page (which sometimes does finally remove the task), etc. But no fix that is sustainable and consistent.

Any help or insight here?

Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Dean,

Happy to help figure out what's causing that error for you.

Does occur only when you mention more than one user on a task? Note that tasks can't be used to assign to more than one user, so I just want to rule that one out.

See [CONFCLOUD-26786](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-26786) if you want to be able to assign tasks to more than one user.

We previously had a bug as well ([CONFCLOUD-62685)](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-62685) where tasks were being duplicated, and they had to be corrected via the database. It appears this issue has since been resolved, however but if you want to rule it out, then you would need to [raise a ticket with Support](https://support.atlassian.com/contact), which I can help you with.

At any rate, we can look at your site's logs when you raise a ticket with support, so we know for sure what is causing the error.

Regards,

Shannon

Can you use mobile apps w/ the free plan?
Asked by Rosey:

I have the free Confluence plan. I understand the restrictions but it doesn't mention the mobile apps for phone / iPad. I've installed, logged in and can see the information but when I try to edit or create a new page, I get a FORBIDDEN banner that pops up and it won't publish.

I don't see a setting to grant mobile access. I'm not anonymous and have logged out and logged back in again, without success.

Just wondering if the mobile apps give write permissions to the free plan or if they are read only?

What user info visible to space admins vs Site Administrators?
Asked by Michelle Rau HP:

I've been working on a report (using Reporting add-on) that shows me user info/stats including signup date, last login date, whether they're deactivated, pages authored, groups, etc. I intend to use this report to help troubleshoot why someone can't access the wiki or a space or edit a page.

I believe I have the setup correct, and ServiceRocket support seems to agree, but I am not seeing groups info or signup date in the report. I understand that as a Lowly, Humble Space Admin, I wouldn't be able to see other users' groups. **Is the same true of signup date?**

What user info can space admins view, vs. info that only Site Admins or top-level admins can view? Thank you for your insights.

Is it possible to grant a user access to a PAGE in Confluence, but that user not be in permissions?
Asked by Angela Boston:

We grant our clients access to the Space we work in for their account. This is done by granting the Group/User permission in the Permissions. This is the global - you can access/see.

Then we have to restrict each page (or parent pages) that we do NOT want the client to view.

This is how I thought it worked. The only way to allow the external Group/User access then restrict what they can see.

My question though is, can I eliminate the step of adding the group/user to Permissions and only grant access to pages for that group in restrictions? So the group is not in Permissions, but grant permission to view at a page level?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: No. Global permissions are the first layer of access control, space permissions the second, restrictions the third.

Imagine Confluence without the restrictions function - you have to do permissions to tell it who to let into the space. Restrictions are done by page, later in the process of working out "who can see this"

Or, imagine a building which has a couple of locked rooms. You can give a key to some people for to let them into those locked rooms, but you are always going to have to give them a key to the building as well.

comments: author: Angela Boston
body: What an honor. Thank you, Nic. Makes total sense and suspected that was the case. Much appreciated.


author: Dave Symonds
body: Most access control systems allow you in but then restrict what you can do/access, using your building analogy you are allowed in but the only door you see is the one we want you to. Or it only allows you to press one button on the lift. That's the way it should work but Confluence forces you to allow an action (View) to the user at the global level.

Our problem is we have built up a body of knowledge using multiple spaces and we have various pages we want to let them see but not anything else

Post File as an Attachment Using Confluence Rest API with PHP curl
Asked by Coline Macorol:

Hello All,

I have trying for quite awhile to post a file as an attachment using the rest api with php curl. I have seen similar questions out there, and I tried to emulate those who said they had success, but it just does not seem to work for me. I would greatly appreciate and welcome any suggestions.

My code:

$ch = curl_init();  
$file = 'C:\\path\\path\\path\\path.txt';  

if (function_exists('curl_file_create')) {  
$cFile = curl_file_create($file);  
} else {   
$cFile = '@' . realpath($file);  
}  
$postData = array('file_contents' =\> $cFile);  
$headers = array();  
$headers\[\] = "X-Atlassian-Token: no-check";

<br />

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://localhost:8090/rest/api/content/31391748/child/attachment");  
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);  
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "\*\*\*\*" . ":" . "\*\*\*\*");  
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);  
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);  
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postData);

$result = curl_exec($ch);  
$info = curl_getinfo($ch);  
print_r($info);  
curl_close ($ch);

I noticed I am getting a HTTP code of 400 when $info prints, which I know means it is a bad request. I am not sure what could potentially be causing this. Again, any help will be much appreciated!


Answers:
author: Thomas Deiler
body: Dear [@Coline Macorol](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1151406) ,

as written in the API document:

Replace

```
$postData = array('file_contents' => $cFile);
```

with

```
$postData = array('file' => $cFile);
```

So long

author: Coline Macorol
body: Hi all,

I'm unfortunately back to say the php curl is once again not working. Thanks to php curl error handling, it appears the problem is cURL error (26): Failed to open/read local data from file/application.

I know this means it is unable to open the file it is pointing to. However, I don't know why it isn't, especially since it worked before and I haven't changed anything but the file. Could it be the file path? Or is it something else I'm not seeing?

Why are our 7.0.3 PDFs so large?
Asked by Dan Moran:

We recently upgraded our server Confluence from 3.5.7 (!) to 7.0.3.

A 3.5.7 PDF that was built at 5,000 KB now builds at 110,00 KB in 7.0.3.

What could be going on?

Thanks!


Answers:
author: Jessica
body: Hi [@Dan Moran](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/510387) , first congrats on that big upgrade!

Do you have jpgs on the page you are exporting to a pdf? If so, that may be the cause.

[Page PDF export size significantly increases if page consist of .jpeg/jpg images](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-58911)

If that could be the cause there is a workaround:

### Workaround {#toc-hId-1117838069}

Export the document to Word and then, convert it/save as a PDF file.

Hope that helps!

comments: author: Dan Moran
body: Hi Jessica,

Thanks for your reply!

Yes, there are some graphics (mostly PNGs) in the section (that is, multiple pages) of the Space that I'm trying to export to PDF, but no more than there were previously (in Confluence 3,5,7) when I could export those pages to a 5,000 KB PDF, instead of the 110,000 KB PDF I get in 7.0.3.

It's not just that one Space, either. I used to import a section of another Space to a 12,000 KB PDF, and in 7.0.3 it exports to a 280,000 KB PDF.

I'm thinking that there could be settings in 7.0.3 that is greatly enlarging these PDFs.

Or perhaps it is the inclusion of some HTML in version 7.0.3 that was not converted from 3.5.7?

(Apparently, I cannot export multiple pages to Word in 7.0.3.)

Please let me know if have any suggestions, and I'll keep experimenting.

Dan
