blog comment notifications
Asked by Eric Sara:

We use blogs a lot and often to ask for feedback on a point. When the blog is created all users (assuming they have registered for blog notifications) get a notification and this is good. However, as comments are made then only the author gets the reply.

While I know there are all sorts of logic on why all users should not get comment updates, we as a business would find this valuable as it can often spark thoughts in others to then make further comments. Also others can learn from the comments made.

So bottom line is can you set it so that all users (again assuming hey have registered for blog notifications and have rights to the space the blog is from) get email notifications on comments made to a blog?


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

To receive notifications on Blog posts comments, you must watch the blogposts when they are created according to [this page](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Commenting+on+pages+and+blog+posts).

I hope this helps.

Cheers,

Rodrigo
When are you going to release Confluence 5.7?

Answers:
author: Suren Raj
body: Hi Katerina,

Confluence 5.7 expected to be release next year January/2015 or February/2015.   

Hope it helps.

comments: author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: The standard answer is "when it's ready". You won't get anything more accurate than Suren's answer until it's closer the time, and even then you'll never get a specific day until it's actually released

Rewrite URL - Making URLs simplified
Asked by Matt Garcia:

I am trying to make my Confluence URL simplified. For example my current set up is <http://myconfluence.com>/display/KB/Knowledge+Base+Home. Is there a plugin or a way to rewrite all pages to something much more simple like, [http://myconfluence.com](http://myconfluence.com/)/Knowledge+Base+Home?

My server is on Apache Tomcat so Im not sure if mod_rewrite could do this?

Thanks.


Answers:
author: Matt Garcia
body: Thanks for the reply Renato. However my server is Apache-Tomcat and not just Apache. My understanding is that Apache-Tomcat will ingore .htacess files.

Also your above example only rewrites the current article "Knowledge Base Home". Is there a way to automatically rewrite all articles when posted instead of manually having to rewrite them?

comments: author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Tomcat doesn't really support any form of rewrites, so Renato is effectively suggesting that you place Apache in front of your Confluence to do it.Also, Confluence does not support these rewrites - you're going to have a lot of "fun" trying to persuade them to work smoothly.


author: rrudnicki
body: Yes, Nic is right and sorry if I wasn't clear about using an Apache in front of Confluence :).


author: rrudnicki
body: Hi Matt,

You are right, you can do it using mod_rewrite.

I believe the code below will help to do what do you want. Just remember to enable the mod_rewrite on your Apache. After, create a .htaccess. on your root directory with this code:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule \^display/KB/Knowledge+Base+Home(/.\*)?$ display/Knowledge+Base+Home/$1

Now, restart your apache and test it.

I hope it helps.

Confluence preview not working
Asked by James Wood:

Username: dajve  
(Confluence Administrator)  

\* Can edit  
\* Can save  
\* Cannot preview  

Clicking preview brings up the loading spinner in footer bar and disables Preview, Save, and Cancel buttons.  
Never completes preview action (loading spinner remains indefinitely, buttons remain disabled).  

Any changes cannot be saved, even with keystroke Ctrl+S  

Checking Ajax request:  
<https://thedistance.atlassian.net/wiki/pages/rendercontent.action> is called on clicking preview.  

Returns HTML response (markup stripped out here):   

\* Administration  
\* Users   
You are not permitted to perform this operation.  

<br />

Additionally, on page load there is a 404 Not Found response for the URL <https://thedistance.atlassian.net/wiki/rest/gliffy/1.0/ceo/9437189/permission?_=1417157322715>  

This appears to have happened since being added to the Global Administrators group.  

Previewing a page works as expected.  
Previewing a space template works as expected.


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

I couldn't find a bug for Cloud instances and this behavior yet. I suggest to check the behavior with other browsers and other users to confirm if they. if the issue persists, I suggest to get in touch with the Cloud support team to analyze this behavior.

Cheers,

Rodrigo


author: James Wood
body: Hi Rodrigo

We have checked this using Chrome and Firefox on Ubuntu 14.04.

Our developer who reported this suggests that, as this is an Ajax Forbidden response, that this may not be related to a browser. This appears only on Global Templates.

I have personally checked the permissions and this doesn't seem to be the cause of it.

Thanks  

James

hipchat and confluence
Asked by Charles Love:

Hi Guys,

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/AOD/Using+HipChat+and+Confluence+together>

Answers:

body: The new Confluence/HipChat integration described in [Using HipChat and Confluence together](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/AOD/Using+HipChat+and+Confluence+together) is only available in Confluence Cloud for now, however we are planning to release it for Confluence Server (Confluence version 5.5 and above) in the very near future, as an update to this Marketplace plugin: [HipChat for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.atlassian.labs.hipchat.confluence-hipchat) (which you can already install today).

I searched for the Hipchat plugin for Confluence on Atlassian Market Place and I didn't find it. For some reason it was removed. However, I believe soon it will be back.

Working in two teams, can I set an event once, and it will be placed/updated in two team calendars?
Asked by Boris Becker:

Instead of creating the same event twice (e.g. holidays), I would like to just create one event and mark it to be shown in two team calendars... this saves time and does not lead to double entries / double maintenance if event needs to be edited.


Answers:
author: Deividi Luvison
body: Hey Boris,

At current momment Team calendars does not have that feature, however there is already a improvement request for that:

<https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/TEAMCAL-414>

Could you please vote for that improvment and add your thoughts in there so we can increase it's relevance?

tks, David


author: Geoff
body: Hi Boris

I found it was easier to have holidays and company wide events in a single calendar that you can add beside the teams calendar. It makes it easy to add and maintain events in one place. We also have things like school holidays and anniversary days to remind people when planning other events. Something you may want to consider.

Regards

Geoff

Other alternative to have the site Dashboard change would be to change the Home page, so you would be able to apply the content you want and the dashboard would be just like you did.

Download all attachments with a specific label at once?
Asked by Jan Hofmann:

Hi there,

I created a new page with the macro that shows me all attachments from a space. There I can filter for a specific label, like "release". Is there any chance to download all the filtered files in a zip, like on the document pages?

Cheers, Jan


Answers:

body: Hi Jan,

You can download all the files from the page by simply following:

1. View the page.
2. Choose **Tools** \> **Attachments**.
3. Choose the **Download All** button at the end of the page to download a zipped file of all the page's attachments.

However, I believe the filter won't be applied on download.

Restoring Confluence
Asked by Tom Cuypers:

Hey,

I am trying to restore a backup of last months confluence. As I am using a confluence+jira on demand account, I am not able to import a full backup, but only spaces. Therefore I've made a temporarily confluence only account in order to import the full database and export it as individual spaces. However, when doing this I get the following error \~ 86% of importing:

Import failed. Check your server logs for more information. com.atlassian.crowd.exception.runtime.GroupNotFoundException: Group \<_licensed-confluence\> does not exist

<br />

Why do I receive this error and what is the best way to import my backup in my confluence+JIRA account?

Regards,

Tom


Answers:
author: Dave
body: Hi Tom,

You're actually running into this bug - <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-34180>

The workaround is described in the bug report, but ultimately you'll need to create a temp group in the new instance (ie "dummy-group"), and then search and replace instances of _licensed-confluence in your xml backup with that dummy-group.

After that you should be able to import without any issues.

Cheers,

-dave


author: William Zanchet [Atlassian]
body: Hi Tom,   

I would recommend to you to contact the support team: <https://support.atlassian.com> as your backup might be conflicting with the way our User management is set.

time tracking with Confluence
Asked by Serge Kaunov:

I want to track time with Confluence tasks and activities. Looks like it's not an obvious task, please help me to understand posibilities.

It would be nice to have a timer like Time-tracker add-on that could attach time to a page and a task inConfluence.

May be it's possible to convert pages and Confluence-tasks to JIRA-issues and use the timer there? Issues linking isn't a solution since there could be different issues for one Confluence page and everything easily could be messed up.

Is there other ways?
