About Language Plugin: Is it possible to get English & French only?
Asked by Luc Theberge:

We need this functionality but we don't want to load up our Macro list in the Macro selection screen. English \& French is well enough for us.


Answers:
author: rrudnicki
body: Hi Luc,

There is 2 way for you to disable the language:

A) You can disable it via manage add-on (recommended)

* Navigate to General Configuration \> Atlassian Marketplace \> Manage Add Ons
* Change to all add ons
* Find the language pack and disable it. (Example: Confluence German (Germany) Language Pack

B) Remove the language packs from the bundled plugins archive (Remove the file and place in a safe place, you might need it in future.).

* Shutdown Confluence
* Go to \<Confluence-install\>/Confluence/WEB-INF/atlassian-bundled-plugins/
* Remove the desired language packs (the languages start with Confluence-language-pack), usually there will be 4 default file as below:  
  - confluence-language-pack-de_DE-5.4.0-v2r8282-2013-12-10.jar  
  - confluence-language-pack-es_ES-5.4.0-v2r15919-2013-12-10.jar  
  - confluence-language-pack-fr_FR-5.4.0-v2r2499-2013-12-10.jar  
  - confluence-language-pack-ja_JP-5.4.0-v2r20318-2013-12-10.jar
* Start Confluence

I hope it helps.

Trouble Linking JIRA and Confluence
Asked by Chris Knight:

I'm trying to link my JIRA and Confluence instances together. Both are on-premise installations. I have both running behind an nginx proxy. When I try to create the application link in Confluence, I enter the URL for my JIRA instance then click Create New Link. On the next screen, I hit Continue and it just hangs. If I hit Cancel, the link is created but does not work. I see this error in atlassian-confluence.log:

2014-10-30 13:09:08,056 WARN \[http-bio-8090-exec-199\] \[apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodDirector\] processWWWAuthChallenge Unable to respond to any of these challenges: {oauth=OAuth realm="https%3A%2F%2Fjira.domain.com"}

I'm running Confluence 5.6.1 and JIRA 6.3.8. I have the Allow Remote API Calls option set to True in JIRA. My Base URL for both Confluence and JIRA is set correctly (or, at least Confluence and JIRA don't complain about them being set incorrectly). What am I missing? Thanks!

**EDIT:** I found this log entry as well:

2014-10-30 13:24:04,770 WARN \[http-bio-8090-exec-207\] \[core.rest.async.AsynchronousTaskManager\] isBaseUrlValid Configured application base URL (https://confluence.domain.com:443) does not match base URL from request (<http://localhost:8090>)

Obviously, <http://localhost:8090> is the URL Tomcat listens on. I'm a little confused on what to do here.

**RESOLVED:** I had to configure server.xml for Confluence to include proxyPort, proxyAddress, and scheme. Weird that the reverse proxy worked and didn't complain. Oh well, works now.

How to allow access to specified space only to one user?
Asked by Alex Mironov:

Hello!

I drop all permissions for everybody. So, I have no permission items for groups and sers. After that I give full perms to specified user. In result, every registred user stil can enter into space. So, how to restrict access to specified space?


Answers:
author: Alex Mironov
body: I've got:

* Empty group perms line
* One specified user with full access (including space admin in users line
* Anonimous access is turned off (all perms items are disabled )

This is on space perms page


author: Alex Mironov
body: Good news everyone!

I had test user with admins privileges. So, this was my fault. Thanks everyone for help!


author: Jonathan Simonoff
body: It sounds like something in global permissions is permitting access. It may be that turning on anonymous access for the site allows anonymous access to all spaces. Alternatively, though it sounds unlikely, perhaps all users have super user access, which would enable them to see everything.


author: Jonathan Simonoff
body: You probably have anonymous access turned on. Look down at the bottom of the permissions screen.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: You've let them in somehow.

What EXACTLY do you have for all of the lines on the permissions page?

Is there a way to disable strike-through in Confluence?
Asked by Rob Moser:

Confluence's editor likes to take anything between - marks and turn it into strike-through text. That's probably great for some people, but we use our Confluence to document - among other things - unix commands used for various tasks. Lots of those commands have -'s in their names, and almost all of them use 's to delimit arguments; if you're not paying attention when you type, you end up with struckthrough garbledygook.

Actually, I'm just going to leave that there like that, as a case-in-point.

Is there a way to turn this behaviour off?


Answers:
author: Steffen Heller
body: Have you tried Settings \> Your Settings \> Editor \> \[x\] Disable Autoformatting?

comments: author: Rob Moser
body: No, I had not. No idea that option was there; it does the trick perfectly. Thanks!


author: Mike Rathwell
body: D'oh! I shoulda thought to look there but... I didn't. Thanks for the tip. Have made several people here very happy.


author: Mike Rathwell
body: 1. If anyone comes up with an answer, I'd like to see it; we also have the problem.
2. A kludge (but it works even if annoying) is to use the code block macro for this purpose. Then the wiki markup imposition goes away

comments: author: Rob Moser
body: Yeah, I use the code blocks too, but for smaller fragments it would be nicer to have them inline. And mostly it would be nice to be able to type without worrying about the text getting changed underneath me.

As I said, I can see the value of the feature in some environments; I'm not asking for the default behaviour to change, I'm just wondering if there is some way to turn it off for our site.


author: MJ
body: Use an Escape special character (<https://jira.atlassian.com/secure/WikiRendererHelpAction.jspa?section=all>)  
Example:   
Notation =\> -NO\\-STRIKE  
Result +\> -NO-STRIKE

comments: author: Rob Moser
body: Thanks MJ. Doesn't solve my problem, as I wanted to be able to just type (and cut-and-paste) without having to worry about going back to escape things. But it may well be useful to someone else who finds this thread.


author: Madhu Mani
body: Notation =\> -NO\\-STRIKE


author: Dennis
body: Even if we can disable this through the settings auto format, having this as default behaviour is RIDICULOUS! It's not only for commands you use dash. It's used in normal writing too. You should change the letter combination to trigger strikethrough (or perhaps turn it off by default).

Plugin keeps on updating although it has already updated!
Asked by Thomas Juelich:

Hello everyone,

I updated a plugin in confluence and the first try to update failed ![sad](/html/@C495B4504065515364EB1894F812B34C/images/emoticons/sad.png "sad") then i decided to update the Plugin manually and it worked. Everything was fine. An hour later i wanted to try another plugin and i entered the addon-section. Then the download of the already manually installed plugin startet again and i wasn't able to stop that. Now, everytime i go to my plugin configuration the download starts again. I am not able to manage my other Plugins because of the damn window ![sad](/html/@C495B4504065515364EB1894F812B34C/images/emoticons/sad.png "sad") I made it to uninstall the plugin but UPM keeps on downloading that damn thing. if anybody has an idea how i can solve this please help me :smile:

Company logo and corporate design?
Asked by Nina Arnold:

I was wondering if it is possible to change the color of the tool to the corporate colors of our company? and can we integrate our logo?

We are searching for a tool that will help our clients to communicate a bit easier and we think your tool would be the exact right think. But it would be important for us to have a bit of branding there as well.

While you can [change the logo in Confluence Cloud](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/AOD/Changing+the+Site+Logo) and the [colour scheme](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/AOD/Customising+Colour+Schemes), you may want a little bit more design flexibility so that your client portal looks more like your website and less like a tool.

How to disable the "How do I post entries" welcome video for anonymous users?
Asked by Peter:

As the title says, I would like to disable the welcome video for anonymous users. How to do that? The config for the welcome page isn't the right one, it seems. Same for the "Welcome, seems you are new" message.

Answers:

I have not tested this as we do not have anonymous users, but I think that disabling the **Confluence Getting Started** plugin (system) should do the trick.

Multiple projects per client in confluence
Asked by Susan Hand:

I work with a web app developer managing his projects for his clients and using confluence on the front end for requirements, project status etc.   

I want to set up a single space per client team. Within that space I want to have a separate project requirements document linking the child requirements for each project.   

So far I can do it for a single project. But each time I set up a requirements document for a different development project, it automatically links to the first requirement document.  

I would like to avoid setting up separate spaces for each project because I would like the customer to have one "space" to view all of his projects and drill down from that space. Is there a way to do this in confluence?

Susan Hand


Answers:
author: Andre Borzzatto
body: Hi Susan,

I'm really not sure about what you want to do, but a Requirement page works just like any other.

Maybe you just want to re-order the Requirement Pages?

You can try that under the "Space tools" \>\> "Reorder pages"

You can try to show us some images of what's happening, so we can see this problem happening.

Thanks!

How can you use stop words in exact string search?
Asked by Jonathan Simonoff:

I've discovered that if you can't do an exact word search for a string that includes a stop word.

For example, if you search for:

"africa and afghanistan"

(with the quotes in the search) where a page contains that exact phrase, you will not find it. (You can search for the same phrase without the quotes, and it will be found, along with pages that only contain one of the words.)

I assume this is because "and" is a stop word, and thus is not indexed.

I haven't found any way to do this kind of search -- searching

"africa afghanistan"

also doesn't work.

Is this expected behavior? Is there a work around?


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

As far as I know, there's no way to use these words in the search name. This is a [limitation from lucene search engine](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Confluence+Search+Syntax#ConfluenceSearchSyntax-ANDsearch) which confluence bundles.

Cheers,

Rodrigo


author: Davin Studer
body: You could try this. It's not perfect, but it helps a little.

```
"africa afghanistan"~1
```

This search ensures that the two words specified must be within a certain number of words of each other to be included.

comments: author: Jonathan Simonoff
body: Thanks Davin. I'm more concerned with my naive users, who won't know about this, but it is always helpful to have some clever syntax.

confluence makro documents editor
Asked by HOhmayer:

Hey everybody, I have a Problem with macros in the documents editor confluence. The "Status" macro can only be used once . It is not possible to use it twice. It is no more selectabIe, because it is inactive. I must close and open my document again, to use this macro again. The Problem is also with all other macros, except "Bild" or "Verkn?pfung".

Only one user has this problem.

I use the Firefox 31.2.0 ESR and the latest Flashplayer. I must have installed the flashplayer, because the dropdown menue in the picture is only functioning with flash.

Answers:
author: Deividi Luvison
body: That is really strange, first thing you could try is doing a [Clear Confluence Plugin Cache](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONFKB/How+to+Clear+Confluence+Plugins+Cache) if that fails the try the following:

1. Backup your application directories (\<Confluence Home\>/\<Confluence Install\>) and database (or set a test instance).
2. Remove any cutomization you might have as, themes, layouts, stylesheets and custom HTML.
3. If the problem persists try one more time [Confluence Safe mode](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/UPM/Disabling+and+Enabling+Add-ons#DisablingandEnablingAdd-ons-Disablingorenablingalladd-ons(usingSafeMode)).

The idea with above steps is to isolate the problem since in my vanila installation I was unable to reproduce this.

After above test attach the \<Confluence Home\>\\logs\\atlassian-confluence.log, the login you used and time stamp of the test.
