Status Macro not displaying the full text
Asked by Roberta:

Hi,

I am using the status macro in my pages but it seems that if my text has more than 7 characters, the full text is not displayed instead three dots (...) are displayed. How do I make it to display the whole text when using the Status macro?

Thanks,

Roberta

author: Jared Brenner
body: Hi Roberta,

The title of the macro will be truncated in the editor, but the published page should display the full text. I just tested this on my instance of Confluence Server.

It's possible this could be affected by your global CSS stylesheet.

Good luck!

If you work a lot with custom statuses across your pages, you can enjoy working with [Handy Macros for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1214971/handy-macros-for-confluence-formatting-and-interactive-ui?tab=overview&hosting=server&utm_source=atlassian-community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=handy-macros-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111&utm_content=status_macro). Use Handy Status to switch statuses without editing, track status history, and configure status sets. You can customize the Handy Status look to suit your needs.

Search for pages by using Keywords in Excel
Asked by Sneha Kulkarni:

I want to do a bulk search in confluence. I want to give the keywords in Excel Sheet. Is there any way we can use excel to provide the keywords and confluence to search for the keywords ?

I checked for SIL functions but I am not sure how we can combine excel and SIL together to execute the Search routine.

For example :

Sheet will have column 1 with keywords to search, and I want the output as names or links to pages with that keyword in column 2.

So, I am looking for something to generate the code for this thing.

How can I update tables simultaneously across other pages in Confluence?
Asked by Scott Federman:

I have a table on one page in confluence that i want to copy onto another. However, when either one is updated, I want it to automatically update the other.

Is this possible?

If not, is it at least possible that the table on the main page, when edited, reflects on the other replicated tables on the other pages?


Answers:
author: Mario Plagaro
body: Hi!

As I see this was an old issue, has any new capability been implemented recently for creating and updating synchronized tables in confluence?

I would ideally like to filter them independently if possible. I would be a nice added functionality to this equation! Is there any way of doing this?

Thanks in advance!

Mario

comments: author: Katerina Rudkovskaya [Stiltsoft]
body: Hi [@Mario Plagaro](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5102995),  

We can suggest using our [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=server&utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) app and its [Table Excerpt/Table Excerpt Include](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Excerpt+and+Table+Excerpt+Include+macros?utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) macros.  

You'll be able to reuse your source table several times (all the changes made to the original table will be reflected in the reused tables automatically) and filter/visualize each copy independently. You'll get a kind of a dashboard based on one source table.  

Maybe you'll be interested in [a live demo](https://calendly.com/tablefilter/live-demo?month=2022-12) from our team -- we'll be happy to organize it.


author: Jared Brenner
body: Hi Scott,

Check out the Excerpt and Excerpt Include macros. Any edits made to the table on the main page (in the Excerpt macro) would be reflected globally on all other pages (using the Excerpt Include macro). I don't know of an easy way to have multiple instances of a table, except maybe using a Google doc in a Widget Connector macro.

Good luck!

comments: author: Diego
body: You were faster than me Jared! Thanks for hopping in.

Yeah, having a "master table" inside a excerpt macro should work as intended.

Unable to remove a space admin

Hi,

My user is a Confluence Sys Admin and still, I'm not able to remove an individual user or a group as space admins.

I can change all the other permissions like Add/Delete Pages, Add/Delete Blogs, etc, but if I uncheck the Admin permission and save the permissions, it isn't unchecked.

While I find it odd you can not un-check admin, Confluence Administrators will have access to your sites regardless.

Sorting pages in space
Asked by Pawe? Wrona:

What determines the sorting of pages in the space in Confluence? After creating the pages, it looks like sorting.

Example:

4. Business requirements  
1. Specification  
2. Schedule  
3. Tests


Answers:
author: Grigory Salnikov
body: Hi [@Pawe? Wrona](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2750496) and welcome to our Community!

Pages just add up downwards. If you choose to create a page while being on another page, the new one becomes its child.

You can also sort pages alphabetically or reorder them manually.

Please, check the similar question and the answer provided below:

How to create bloc code with scrollbars
Asked by Proteus Six:

Hi everybody,

I found How to insert a code block {code}{code}, but the problem that is if you have to paste a large sample of code you have to cut it into a few blocs and sometimes it has to be a little bit annoyed.

Is it possible to create a code block like a panel with scrollbars ?


Answers:
author: Sireesha Dugginapeddi [Appfire]
body: Hi [@Proteus Six](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2750411),

Yes! You can insert your code block into a div macro (***Menu \> Insert more content \> Other macros \> Formatting \> div*** ). In the *style* parameter of div macro, insert this -

*overflow: scroll;*

However, this would be needed if you set your div size (Your code block in turn) to a fixed height (*min-height: 200px; max-height: 300px;*). If not, the div takes the height/length of the code.

Hope this will work for you!

Thanks

author: Grigory Salnikov
body: Ok, thank you, [@yakin_thakkar](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2750468)

That seems like you don't have "**Add page**" permission in these other spaces.

Hope this helps.

PDF Pagebreak in the new Confluence Cloud page editor?
Asked by Graham:

Up until now I added a 'div' macro with **style=page-break-before:always;** similar to the approach outlined [here.](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-create-a-page-break-function-in-confluence-to-control-pagination-in-pdf-exports-735943076.html)

With that now no longer possible in the Cloud versions, anyone have hacks to achieve this? PDF Documentation to external third parties that my business works with can look incredibly amateur when using the default Confluence PDF generator...


Answers:
author: Stephen Sifers
body: Hello Graham,

You are correct in that Confluence cloud does not allow for CSS stylesheets within pages or spaces. However, you are able to apply a CSS stylesheet to the PDF exporter itself. This would allow you to customize how a page or space look when exported to PDF. There is a specific section in the documentation for PDF stylesheets which covers page breaks on export. You can find this at [Customize Exports to PDF \| Page Breaks](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/customize-exports-to-pdf-724764825.html#CustomizeExportstoPDF-PageBreaks).

Alternatively, you may want to review any available add-ons within the Atlassian Marketplace. I found 3 related to PDF exports which can be found at this preset search of [Atlassian Marketplace \| PDF Export](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?hosting=cloud&product=confluence&query=PDF%20export).

I hope you find this information useful and you're able to adjust your PDF exports as needed.

Why is there only one event type shown after subscribing to Team Calendar in a mailing app?
Asked by Kerekes Melinda:

Hi,  
we've been using Confluence Team Calendar for some time now in our company, and now we'de like to see all events in third party mailing apps (personally, I prefer Thunderbird, but some of us use Outlook or Apple Mail).

We've tried subscribing to the calendar as described here: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/teamcalcloud/subscribe-to-and-from-team-calendars-909903946.html>, but we always end up seeing only one event type in our calendars (tried with Thunderbird, Google Calendar and Outlook on windows and on iPhone). No errors occur during any of the steps. We've even tried disabling private URLs, but that didn't help either.

This is how our Team Calendar looks (with sensitive information hidden), I've also marked the calendar on the right that we want to subscribe to: ![team_calendar.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/46297i3D7D793EC6FEFCA8/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "team_calendar.png")

And this is how it looks in Thunderbird after subscribing: ![thunderbird.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/46292i2CE4EA93C8EA0F7B/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "thunderbird.png")So basically we can only see that one event type no matter how we try (tried importing the .ics file too, same result).

That event type is no different from the others: ![event_type_edit.PNG](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/46294i8E0EF3F8CF47B970/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "event_type_edit.PNG")![event_type.PNG](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/46295iD8DC1E323331A8D7/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "event_type.PNG")

Unfortunately, I couldn't find any relevant help or information about this in the community pages, but I'm hoping to get at least a few tips on where to look for next. Thank you in advance!
