Line breaks within tables on PDF export
Asked by Matt Ward:

Trying to get PDF exports to break long lines within table columns so that all text within the table shows up.

1\] Create new page with 3 column table

2\] Paste 'abcdefghijklnmopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklnmopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklnmopqrstuvwxyz' into each column

3\] Export to PDF

I've tried customizing the PDF Export stylesheet, to no avail.

```
body, p, li, td, table, tr, .bodytext, .stepfield {word-wrap: break-word;word-break: break-all;}.wiki-content p {word-wrap: break-word;word-break: break-all;}
```

Any ideas?

Thanks!

How can i make certain Confluence Questions space bound?
Asked by Marc Mast:

How can I make confluence Questions spacebound instead of available to everyone?

what I have tried: I followed this guide: [link](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/QUESTIONS/Integrate+questions+with+your+spaces), asked a questions in my space, but then saw that question on the general Confluence questions (even users who didn't had access to the space saw it and it contents.

confluence version: 5.6.6


Answers:
author: TomC
body: Hi Marc,

To build on what @Guilherme Nedel \[Atlassian\] said, have you looked at the latest (v2.x) version of Confluence Questions? Here's an excerpt of the description of this release:
> *"In this release we've tackled our highest voted feature request - giving you more control over who can see your questions by adding questions to spaces.*
>
> *Sometimes a question only relates to one team or project or it might contain private information that shouldn't be visible to everyone. Adding questions to spaces keeps your questions secure, relevant, and organized."*

This version was just released earlier this month so not sure you saw it? See more details at <https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.atlassian.confluence.plugins.confluence-questions>

Cheers,

Tom

comments: author: Andrew Kosiarski
body: Hey @Tom Crespi,I may be missing something, but it seems that the default setting is that when a question is added in a given space, it's still added in the overall instance-wide Questions area. Is there a way to distinguish which questions should remain only in the space in which they're asked?


author: Alexander Wegener
body: I would be interested in this too


author: Marc Mast
body: Thanks, clear answers. Getting to update friday


author: Guilherme Nedel [Atlassian]
body: Hello Marc, you may [use permissions](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/QUESTIONS/Permissions) to assign which users have access to Questions today. Though for a more granular control over who can see which question, we advise reviewing this [suggestion ticket](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CQ-717).

Viewtracker chart: Error while converting wiki markup to storage format.
Asked by Roman Joss:

I'm testing the ViewTracker Add-On (Version 3.1.0) on Confluence 5.6.6.  
I get the Viewtracker-Menueitem only on spaces with the 'global look and feel' Theme.

When i go to the space Tools and select 'Viewtracker' there are only error-Messages like

Answers:
author: Stephen Deutsch
body: Hi Roman,

If you look at the documentation for the Viewtracker Add-on, you will notice that you can only run reports using the reporting plugin: <https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/net.customware.confluence.plugin.reporting> which is not free.

author: Sloan
body: Thank you Stephen, yes this is correct. See [Viewtracker Reports with Reporting Plugin](https://wiki.bitvoodoo.ch/display/BVVIEWTRACKER/Viewtracker+Reports+with+Reporting+Plugin) from our wiki.

And meanwhile we shipped Version 5 with built in Reporting -\> [Reports](https://wiki.bitvoodoo.ch/display/BVVIEWTRACKER/Reports)

Cheers

author: Roman Joss
body: Hi Stephen,

Thanks for your reply. But i cannot understand why the plugin creates a aditional view in the space-overview an there are shown only Errors. i do not want to run additional reports, just the one which is described in the slideshow on <https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/ch.bitvoodoo.confluence.plugins.viewtracker>

If not even this is working, what is the plugin meant for?

Thank you again.

Delete a page
Asked by Zai:

Hello,

We are attempting to delete a page from our wiki:

The page has no restrictions

user has permissions to delete page

It is only the one page that is affected.

Ideas? Suggestions?

Cheers,


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: What is the problem? You've not explained why you are not deleting the page


author: Mallmann
body: Hi Zay,

Can you let us know what happens when you click on the delete button? Also, please try to delete it using a Confluence administrator account.

Other than that you might want to take a look at your logs and see what Confluence says when you try to delete the page, assuming you are able to click on the delete button and nothing happens.

I hope it helps.

Eduardo


author: Peter Bengov
body: Hey Zai,

Please make sure you have the relevant permissions in the Space this page is on.

You should be looking for the **Remove** permission (found under **Pages** ) in the settings \<your domain\>spaces/spacepermissions.action?key=\<space key\>

unable to access confluence site
Asked by Sushant Joshi:

Hi

I created trial account for evaluating confluence.

However when i open the link it says this webpage not available.

Am I missing anything.


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: You have not given us much to work with - we probably need you to explain more about what you are doing and expecting.

However, I am going to **guess** that you have signed up for Confluence **Cloud** trial. New Cloud services take a few minutes to become available. I'd suggest making and drinking a cup of tea and then trying the url again.
We had JIRA and Confluence published in our corporate Microsoft UAG. Getting "Page Not Found - The page you were trying to reach could not be found." error
Asked by Kristine Hung:

This error only appears the first time you launch either JIRA or Confluence. After refreshing the page, it opens the login page with no error. Is there any setting in that needs to be adjusted from the both JIRA and Confluence applications?


Answers:
author: chucktalk
body: Hi Kristine,

Does this occur immediately after launch but prior to the

```
Confluence is ready to serve
```

message showing in the Confluence logs?

If so, this simply means that Confluence is likely still loading the application in memory before it has been launched completely.

If you would like to investigate further, please consider [opening a support ticket with Atlassian](https://support.atlassian.com) to review the issue with our Support Team.

Sincerely,

Chuck Talk


author: Mallmann
body: Hi Kristine,

May I ask whether you have any kind of proxy configured on your end? Can you confirm if this issue also happens when accessing directly through the Confluence IP:PORT address?

In case this happens when accessing through the IP you might want to verify the Confluence logs under the \<confluence-home-directory\>/logs/atlassian-confluence.log and see if there's any error related to this behaviour in there.

I hope it helps.

Eduardo

Confluence Page Issues with Uploaded Pictures
Asked by Kristen Viscardi:

We have a problem where people are creating pages in Confluence and including uploaded pictures. These picture are only available to the person who created the page. No one else can see the pictures, they look like broken links. Any ideas?


Answers:
author: Jonathan Simonoff
body: Totally a guess -- have the images actually been uploaded to the wiki page, or are you loading them from a file that is local to the one user who can see the pictures? This can be hard to detect In the version of Confluence we use (5.5) it is hard to determine what the path to the picture is without looking at the page storage format. Another possibility is that the images are stored on a different page, and that page is not open to viewing by the people who see broken links.


author: Kristen Viscardi
body: Our Confluence version is 5.6.3. It's very strange, some people have no problem uploading pictures and other people it never works. Thanks for the suggestions, the spaces these problems are happening are open to everyone with no permissions set.
How do I view\modify permission to import a word doc in Confluence?
Asked by Chad Lane:

I have a user who has edit right to a space with no page restrictions, but when she tries to import a word document she gets a message saying that she is not permitted to perform this action. She gets this message after she browses for and selects her file just after clicking next. Any suggestions on what would cause this?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: If a user has create/edit rights, then they can import a Word document.

It's a waste of time restricting it - if I have create/edit, then there's nothing to stop me simply copying and pasting from Word into Confluence, and then wasting time correcting the formatting that the import handles a bit better.


author: F
body: Check the maximum size of attachment in Confluence and also the size of the word document you are trying to import, if the attachment size is more, then you will get a Not permitted error.

Is the tools / import word doc different than an attachment?
Asked by Chad Lane:


Answers:
author: Mike Rathwell
body: Chad,

The two of these are rather dramatically different.

* An attachment would be attached to the page and then, to view the attachment on a Confluence page, you'd have to use the Office macros to display it.
* Importing a Word document will turn it directly into Confluence content rather than an attachment. As such you could then throw away the Word doc (this is my personal preference as the content becomes "live" and can be collaboratively used and referenced far more easily). The only thing you'll note is that the Word import uses the somewhat clumsy "anchor" macro for TOC and how to get from the TOC to the content. Easily edited out to the simpler Confluence content TOC, however.

Hope that is helpful.

mike


author: TomC
body: Chad. Yes it is different - doing that places the content of the Word doc *onto the actual page as editable 'wiki page' text* (vs an attachment that maintains its content within the Word document).

You can *display* Word attachment text onto a page using the View Page macro.

Each approach has its pros and cons - I'd suggest experimenting to see which works best for your needs.

TCL syntax highlighting - Confluence
Asked by lazy boy:

Hi,

Anyone know how I can add TCL syntax highlighting to the Code Macro in Confluence?

Ideally, I would like to install a TCL language file when configuring the Code Macro.

Thanks for any help!


Answers:
author: Joe Clark
body: Hi @lazy boy!

The Code Macro for Confluence uses the open source [syntaxhighlighter](http://alexgorbatchev.com/SyntaxHighlighter/) library. There are many language files for this library out there on the Internet - here's a blog post that summarizes some of them: <http://www.undermyhat.org/blog/2009/09/list-of-brushes-syntaxhighligher/> I did a quick google search and I found a TCL language file that somebody's written: <https://gist.github.com/henix/2851521>

If you trust this language file and its license conditions are acceptable for you to use, you can go into Confluence admin and go to the "Configure Code Macro" section, and then there's an option to upload a new language file.

Salesforce and Confluence connector - Can data be copied and not just read only?
Asked by nickwick76:

Hi,

I am looking at the existing connector for Salesforce and Confluence integration (<https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/net.customware.confluence.plugin.salesforce.confluence-salesforce-plugin>).

I'm getting the impression that data is only displayed (read-only). Is this true or can data be copied for example by scheduling a task from Salesforce once a day or similar?

Our use case is in simplified terms to copy contact information from Salesforce to Confluence.

The preferred solution would be the other way but I haven't found a solution for that.

Thanks / Niklas


Answers:
author: Jesse Miller
body: Hi Niklas,

Currently the Connector for Salesforce and Confluence allows for information from Salesforce to be displayed in Confluence in a read-only format. However, we are interested in adding more functionality and features around the Connector and would be interested in hearing your ideas.

Feel free to add your ideas to our [Community](https://community.servicerocket.com/servicerocket) Site and start a conversation there.

Thanks!

Page Approval Plugin - Register button showing for all but one user
Asked by Jeremy Soronen:

Most people are only able to see the "Register" button when trying to use the Page Approval Plugin. We have registered and received a key. Only one person can use the approve/unapproved button. Everyone else is seeing the Register button and cannot use this plug-in including myself. I am an administrator, but do not have access to installing/configuring plug-ins, so I will have to work with our architect if changes may be needed from that end.

We are using Confluence 5.6.6 and this is our first time installing this plugin.


Answers:
author: Rodrigo Girardi Adami
body: Hi Jeremy,

I believe there might be some special permission for this plugin to work correctly. I do recommend to review the [global](https://docs.servicerocket.com/display/PA/Page+Approval+Global+Settings) and [space settings](https://docs.servicerocket.com/display/PA/Page+Approval+Space+Settings) for the page approvals and if the issue persist, then contact the plugin vendor.

Cheers,

Rodrigo

How do I get labels to appear in pages created with HowTo and Troubleshooting templates?
Asked by asaltbde:

I have edited the default "HowTo" and "Troubleshooting" templates, and added a *label*.

However, when I create a page, and select either template, I don't see my label added (although I do see the default howto and troubleshooting labels).

If I create my own template, and add a label, then this label is created in a new page.

Any idea what is preventing the label showing up?

Restrict access to blog to space members
Asked by Patrick_Vanhoof:

It is possible to add restrictions to a blog post like on a page. But can I set restrictions to all members of the space it was posted in, so that in other spaces that use the blog post macro the post is not visible unless one is member of the space where it was published?


Answers:
author: Rodrigo Girardi Adami
body: Hi Patrick,

As far as I know, the space restrictions will restrict the blog posts creation and disallow anyone who is not part of that space to view it. can you confirm this is not the case? Are you running the latest Confluence version?

There are permissions in the Blog post level in space restrictions as we can [see here](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Space+Permissions+Overview).

Cheers,

Rodrigo

Dear All,

Do I have any solution to do attachments statistic report for specific pages?

How to see the full page hierarchy of the current space in the sidebar?
Asked by Andrius Kurtinaitis:

After some update to our confluence (currently 5.5.2) I cannot see full page hierarchy of current space is the sidebar. The previous sidebar was much better.

Compatibility with Confluence 5.7.1
Asked by Onno Kuipers:

Hi,

Is this add-on compatible with confluence 5.7.1?

With kind regards,

Walther


Answers:
author: Rodrigo Girardi Adami
body: Hi Walther,

According to Atlassian Market place [page](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/PACO), it seems 5.7.1 is not a supported version for this plugin. That doesn't means it won't work, but may not work completely or some functionalities won't work as expected. It usually takes some time to test and state the plugin is compatible with the latest version of Confluence, when launched.

I recommend to reach the plugin developer for additional information on the plugin status for the newest versions of Confluence as well.

Cheers,

Rodrigo

Get access to a specified page in a hierarchy - how to?
Asked by Rumceisz:

Hi,

we have high hierarchies of page trees in our Confluence and now some external users need to have access to specified contents. These contents are in pages deep in the page hierarchy. The problem is that these users must not have access to other pages and we can't move these pages upper in the hierarchy hence there is a logical order in the page hierarchy.

Is there any other option how to get access only to these pages without changing the page hierarchy?

Thanks in advance,

Rumi


Answers:
author: Jonathan Simonoff
body: I don't think there's any way to accomplish what you want, because it goes against the way page restrictions/permissions work in Confluence -- viewing restrictions and permissions essentially cascade down the hierarchy -- if a user doesn't have permission to view a space, they can't see any pages, if a page has restrictions and a user doesn't have permission to view a page, they can't view any descendents of that page.

Note that these things apply to includes as well, so that if a user cannot view a page, they cannot view it when it is included on another page, so you can't use includes to get around view restrictions.

The only way I've found to do what you want is to have a separate script, running outside the wiki, that has permissions to view the pages, and use that script to copy the content to a place where the users can see the contents.

The normal way to deal with this situation is to separate your space into two page families, and apply page restrictions only to the part where you need the restrictions, but that violates the terms of your question, since it means rearranging the hierarchy.


author: Steve Gerstner [bridgingIT]
body: Hi Rumi,

have a look on the subspace-plugin, if it's not fitting, I would suggest creating a second space just for this contents and establish a workflow to publish your contents to this space. In this case, try the publishing plugin or scroll versions.

Regards

Steve
