Show pages with user who last modified
Asked by Jobewan:

I am using the CQL Search Macro to inject search expressions into a Confluence page inventorying other Confluence pages.

In this use case the person who last modified the page is more important than the page Creator.

I haven't found an expression syntax that produces the desire results.

I don't have direct access to the underlying Confluence database for direct queries or script execution.

The current syntax I am using is:

creator=ABCDE and type=page order by lastModified

The output is:

PAGETITLE SPACE  
Page SpaceName  
Page SpaceName  
Page SpaceName  
. . . SpaceName

The desired output is:

PAGETITLE SPACE LAST MODIFIED BY  
Page SpaceName Bob Doe  
Page SpaceName Ted Doe  
Page SpaceName Carol Doe  
. . .

Please advise.

body: Hello [@Jobewan](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4496250)

Welcome to the community!!

CQL to find the user who last modified a page is not available. The native CQL field for LastModified can be used to compare dates. In order to extend the native CQL functionality. I would suggest the usage of plugins available on the Atlassian marketplace, a list of the same is available [here](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?query=CQL).

Please explore, evaluate and select the one best suited to your use case.

Kindly accept the answer if this helps.

confluence-administrators group does not translate to Active Directory
Asked by Zachary:

confluence-administrators group does not translate to Active Directory. We have an external directory setup, with an Atlassian OU, etc. The directory is read only, with local groups in Confluence... AND I see multiple groups from AD inside the "Groups" section of "Users and Security"........ However the users in the "confluence-administrators" group in AD do not correlate with the one system admin account in the group in confluence.


Answers:
author: Heather Ronnebeck
body: From my experience with a very similar setup confluence groups don't replicate back into Active Directory or LDAP directories. It's a step that is admins just have to do manually when setting up users in confluence. I see this as a security feature in a way because you only give admin to those you want to.

using EPIC NAME to order results - can seem to get it to work
Asked by Sandra Lawrence:

filter question: How do I add an ORDER by Epic Name? I try to put an order by Epic Name -- the output looks like it does not recognize my ORDER? See below.

What am I missing?

project = PMMSS and type = task and assignee = "Sandy" and status in ("In Progress", "To Do") ORDER BY "EPIC NAME"


Answers:

body: Hi [@Sandra Lawrence](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4448641) ,

there is no image attached, so it is hard to tell, where the problem is, but in general JQL

```
ORDER BY "Epic Name" ASC
```

should work...

Where exactly in the confluence are you trying to use it? Thank you.

ConfiForms: How to display only one of multiple attachments in TabelView?
Asked by Vaibhav Gupta:

Hello

In my form, there is an input field for attaching images. Most entries have multiple images associated with them.

On a separate page, I am displaying the collected entries via the TableView Macro. However, when I add the attachment field for display (as one of the table columns), it displays all the attached images in that column (which quickly becomes a problem for entries with 5+ images).

Is there a way for me to only display the first one or two files attached to a ConfiForm Entry? My attempts to use asAttachment/asAttachments have resulted in it displaying 'IMG_NAME.png' in that column, instead of the actual image.

Thank you.


Answers:
author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Hi

I would actually approach this a bit differently, via CSS

With something like this injected on the page (via HTML macro for example)

```
<style> 
.cf_file_preview_block > .cf_file_preview_item { display:none; } 
.cf_file_preview_block > .cf_file_preview_item:nth-child(1) { display:block; } 
</style>
```

Alex

comments: author: Vaibhav Gupta
body: The injected style works exactly as shared to display one image (for anyone else who reads this in the future), although I may tweak it a bit for my use case.

Thank you so much for your help.

Restoring Confluence Environments from Backup
Asked by Alexander Schmitt:

Dear ATLASSIAN support,

I really like your product and service. Unfortunately, I encountered now an issue with my Confluence service where I need your direct tech support.

The problem started some days ago when you suspended my account because of to many users. This happened at the 23 of July. Somehow I managed to restore the confluence session, and now it is again reachable under the exact same URL as before. But, I do not see any of our old workbooks anymore.

Can you please double-check our current environment and rebuilt it from the savings before it was suspended. I already changed the amount of users, and we are now less than 10.

Maybe needless to say, but it is really not ok how you are proceeding in these situations. You force me to pay your subscription and do not offer me any other way like removing the outnumbered users instead of it.

I really hope that all the old working environments can be recovered because otherwise a huge amount of knowledge from our organization would be gone.

I wish you a nice rest of the day.

Upload attachment to comment using REST API
Asked by Daria Kozhemiakina:

I am uploading attachments using api/content/{id}/child/attachment route via node js. Uploading to pages or blog posts works like a charm but when I try to upload attachment to a comment with the same code i receive {"statusCode":500,"message":"","reason":"Internal Server Error"} as a response.

body: Hello [@Kishan Sharma](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/554991)   
Thank you for an answer, but unfortunately I am not sure if it is relevant to the situation. Do you have permissions to add a comment by the user you authorized to use an api? 403 error according to Confluence api docs means that you don't have rights to perform an action. While my error is 500 with no explicit info in message ;(


author: Kishan Sharma

Confluence Cloud - how to add created by/lastmodified by/Date/viewed in pages
Asked by Ruth Gellert:

Hi, I?ve read that is not possible to add via a macro in all pages of a site automaticalle the information about created by etc. Is this true? If not how would I do It?


Answers:
author: Alex Koxaras _Relational_
body: Hi [@Ruth Gellert](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4488350)

This information you are asking is already visible on every confluence page you create (or modified), just below the title:

![coonfluence.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/154042i1ACDC8000C91CC6F/image-dimensions/435x104?v=v2 "coonfluence.png")

You may try as well the "Contributors" macro. This might be what you are looking for.

Do let me know if that works out for you.

Best,

When did YouTube embeds stop working for anonymous users?
Asked by David at David Simpson Apps:

I was surprised to find that all my YouTube embeds are broken if the end user is not logged in. This used to work just fine. Logged in users are not affected.

Here's a screenshot of [an example YouTube embed](https://dsapps.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/embed/pages/2202304541/Datapane+in+Confluence):

![Screenshot 2021-07-29 at 10.29.48.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/153517i2683522D1FDE215A/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screenshot 2021-07-29 at 10.29.48.png")

This is suboptimal when hosting documentation on Confluence Cloud.

Are other people experiencing this problem?


Answers:
author: David at David Simpson Apps
body: Oh, it looks like they probably never worked, but I hadn't noticed this because I was logged in.

Atlassian Support recommends not using smart links when authoring content for anonymous users, instead using the widget macro.

As I've [previously noted](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-articles/Smart-Links-a-richer-way-to-hyperlink/bc-p/1762809#M2655), this side-effect of smart links is a step backwards in product functionality. Something which was once ridiculously easy now requires cognitive effort.

You now need to remember the use cases for which smart links work and then behave accordingly.

Butler Bot Commands-How can I give Butler Bot a command to when multiple labels are added to cards
Asked by Production Admin:

I want to ask Butler Bot to copy any cards with a red label ( each red label has a different name) to another board. I can give it the command for an 1 red label but how do I add other labels to the same command. I can only seem to give one command for each label. there are around 9 labels we use that whenever they are added to cards I need the card to be moved to a board. i don't want to create 9 different commands.

another question, how do I mirror the card that I just copied over to a new board, so that whatever happens on the original card gets mirrored onto the copied card.

Thanks in advance


Answers:
author: Production Admin
body: Thanks. I am already creating a command each for the labels and they do work but as you say it might not always work if I put all the labels in one command as I have 11 red issues labels.

Can you give me an example command to sync the labels and comments.

comments: author: Katrin Anger
body: [@Production Admin](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2039529)

I'd say it would be best when you set up a feature request and ask for triggers that accept multiple labels. This would not only help you but also others who are in a similar situation.

To set up a feature request, open Butler, click on the 3 dots in the top right corner and click on Account.

For syncing:

You first need to make sure there is a connection between the two cards you want to sync. This connection would have to be created in a previous step.

And then you set up syncing commands, like:

Labels: when a label is added to a card, find the card linked in the attachments and add label

Comments: when a comment is added to a card, find the card linked in the attachments and add comment

- Does that help?


author: Katrin Anger
body: [@Production Admin](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2039529)

Does your question really refer to the ButlerBot or do you mean the Butler Power-Up??

comments: author: Production Admin
body: I guess it refers to Butler


author: Katrin Anger
body: [@Production Admin](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2039529)I think the best is to create two commands for copying cards over: one for each red label (given that you have two red labels; if you have three, you would have to set up three commands).

Theoretically, you could do it with one command, but there seems to be the and/or connection missing in the command setup, which requires some testing how it actually comes out. Setting up a command for each red label puts you on the safer side.

In regards to card syncing:

You will have to set up a command for each feature that you want to have synced to the other board, like comments, labels, due date, description, etc.

- Does that help?
