Recent Update macro for Page and children only
Asked by Ossy:

The Recent Update macro shows the recent updates within a Space. Can this be limited for a page and it's child pages?


Answers:
author: Kristian Holbek
body: You can use "Contributors Summary"-macro to achieve something similar..

Set the following parameters:

"G++roup By++: Pages"

"++Columns to display++: lastupdate"

"++Sort By++: Update"

"++Maximum Number of Items++: 10"

"++Include Page Hierarchy++: decendants"

It works for my needs - to see recent activity in a project on only this page and its child-pages.

author: Simone Longoni
body: Helen, please use "Contributors Summary" macro (NOT "recently updated"): the options will be there.

Cheers and thanks Kristian for the hint.


author: Anton Chemlev - Toolstrek -
body: No, the only way to narrow page scope is to use labels to mark pages and than add this labels to macro input parameters. Or you can use author and filter on it, but this is not the case.

Or you can build your own user macro if you can program a bit, there are many examples on it.
Plugins used in spaces
Asked by Miguel_?ngel_Taranc?n:

Hi, a Have a Confluence server installation with a lot of plugins installed.

I wanted to know In witch spaces are being used plugins. Maybe I can do a sql script or something to do it. But I don?t know.

I have incompatible plugins and i don?t know what happen If I unnistall and it is used in some space. It?s the reason that i wanted to know this.

Thanks community!

Miguel Angel.


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: There is no way you can do this for every add-on you have - they can add things that are global and they can add functions that there is no way to tell what spaces might be using them.

Gonchik has pointed you to the macros where you can do it, but for other add-ons, your only option is to read what the add-on does and work out where it might be used for yourself.

Codeblock Macro spelling correction
Asked by tcom_puppet:

I use the Codeblock Macro as a Confluence user. The macro performs spelling correction, e.g.: I enter:

```
systemctl restart httpd.service
```

and the Macro autocorrects that into:

```
systemctl restart httpd.Service
```

This behavior makes copying command line commands from Macros impossible. I edited the text within the Codeblock, because after copying text from Cygwin there was one empty line for each bash command. I would like to get rid of the spelling correction. How can I?

I have just tested this in Confluence 6.5.0 Server version, but I wasn't able to replicate the problem.

![Screen Shot 2017-11-13 at 4.25.45 PM.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/9284iC40A215C50B18670/image-dimensions/361x287?v=v2 "Screen Shot 2017-11-13 at 4.25.45 PM.png")

I tried this both by typing it in manually and also pasting from your example. When you say you edited the text in the code block you mean that you're typing it manually there and not pasting, since pasting is giving you empty lines. Is this correct?

Can you let me know what OS you're on, as well as the browser you are using when you run into the error? Does it happen on more than one computer? Please also let us know what version of Confluence you are running.

Thank you!

* Text editors you have tested with.

One more thing - you put the question in the Confluence Questions collection. Is the issue regarding the software Confluence Questions, or just regular Confluence? Since Confluence Questions is another piece of software I want to make sure we're on the same page here. :)

comments: author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: This doc tells you how to work with permissions, but does not explain them for your situation.

The missing bit is that you have set up your Confluence to allow everyone access to your spaces. You should follow the doc to fix it, but your aim should be to "remove the access for everyone, while adding back in the internal users or groups that still need access"


author: Joseph Devassy
body: Hi Cristian, Nic,

Thank you for the replies.

But we have around 2000 users who should be allowed access to the manuals. Is there any way that we can give so many users access in one go. Giving individual permissions will be a huge task.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: No, you need to do the full set of revisions. But you can use groups to allow large batches of users in.

author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

How do I link multiple roadmaps on Confluence?
Asked by Simon Williams:

Hi,

I would like to know if it is possible to link multiple detailed roadmaps on Confluence in order to reduce time spent updating a high-level roadmap?

Ideally, I would like each team to maintain and update their own roadmap (change dates, details, contacts etc) and the updates are reflected in a central roadmap. This would be a two way relationship, so i would have the ability to input milestones on each team roadmap. The ability for each team to include shared milestones/swimlanes as well, would be helpful.

I look forward to your suggestions.

Thanks

Simon

Fixing formatting issues when exporting confluence page to a pdf
Asked by rhianfarrell:

Hi all,

I am trying to export certain confluence pages into a pdf but when I do the formatting comes out skewed and distorted.

I have Jira issue/ filter tables in the pages I want to export and these seem to be the problem areas when trying to convert into a pdf.

Can anyone assist in telling me how I can make the formatting in the pdf readable and presentable


Answers:
author: AnnWorley
body: Hi Rhian,

I understand Jira issues and filters are not exporting to PDF as expected - the formatting is skewed and distorted.

Please:

* post a screen shot of what the Jira issue macros look like on your PDF exports
* let me know what version of Confluence you are using.
* let me know what you are using to view the PDF (Adobe Reader for example)

I did a test and the export came out looking good:

![Screen Shot 2017-11-22 at 12.02.51 PM.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/9891i4677D4E63F10D598/image-dimensions/619x226?v=v2 "Screen Shot 2017-11-22 at 12.02.51 PM.png")

There are options for Confluence server to [customize PDF exports](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/customize-exports-to-pdf-190480945.html) but just exporting Jira issues "should" work out of the box.

I look forward to learning more about the formatting issue you are seeing.

Is there a way to export a confluence page into PowerPoint
Asked by rhianfarrell:

Hi all,

Just wondering if there is a way to export a confluence page into PowerPoint? is there a plugin or solution to this problem?

Cheers


Answers:
author: Suren Raj
body: Hi, Rhian.

Currently, confluence does not have the function to import their data (spaces and page) powerpoint format. Years ago we had a feature request open for that:  
\* <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-7122>

however, it was closed without implementation.

Nevertheless, confluence has the function of export pages to word format (on the page click on \*tools \> export to word\*). You could use this function as a workaround. Once you have the page in Word format, is easier to transform that on a PowerPoint presentation.

We do have an add-on as well [Scroll Office](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.k15t.scroll.scroll-office/cloud/overview), It uses Confluence for collaboration and authoring, and Word to style your documents. Also, lets you export either single Confluence pages or entire page hierarchies to Word at the click of a button.

comments: author: A_Raadls
body: Too bad I think the Presentation Plug, mentioned in this video,

[https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/de.incloud.confluence.presenter/cloud/overview](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/de.incloud.confluence.presenter/cloud/overview?)

at 11:00

And this is also a feature I regularly use in Evernote, which recently came out with a Spaces product of its own, presumably to compete with Confluence.

I'd really like to see that come back, basically the ability to click a button within confluence and get a page that can be presented, very useful in my day-to-day. The current alternative, "presenter for Confluence," is a paid third part app that looks a bit dodgy on the reviews, and just not the same.

Thanks

Migration from google site to Confluence

body: Hi Florian,  

<br />

Usually those NullPointers are generic, and doesn't give a full picture of the problem. May I ask you, if you can reach Confluence's database through Confluence's box?  

To rule out a problem with the plugins during the startup, can you please do the following steps to clean the plugin cache?  

\* Shutdown Confluence  
Delete the content from the following folders:  
\<confluence-home\>/plugin-cache  
\<confluence-home\>/plugins-osgi-cache   
\<confluence-home\>/plugins-temp  
\<confluence-install-dir\>/work/\*   
\* Startup Confluence  

And better way is read <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/upgrade-notes-overview-176882813.html>

OR double check you config files like, init.properties, setenv.sh, server.xml, confluence.db.xml. and check owners for home and installation directories

I hope this helps.
