FTP Link or Limited Access Attachment
Asked by Seyhmus:

Is it possible to insert a hyperlink directing to external ftp server?

If that is not possible how can I limit access to an attachment? Basically what I want to achieve is to be able to trace who downloaded my attachment (in a public page).


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: You can put ftp: as the protocol for a url, but you are relying on the user's browser to understand it (most will now), and putting the content there instead of attaching it to Confluence.

You limit access to attachments by limiting access to the page they are attached to (and the space as a whole for add/delete rights). Cloud does not currently have functionality to track who has viewed/downloaded an attachment

What are all the anchors on the page when I import a word document?
Asked by Brian Sheridan:

Plus the headings from the TOC just disappear but they are there if you highlight the section.

Answers:
author: Bill Bailey
body: Welcome to Word import! Clearly Word has anchors pre-installed for your convenience. ;-)I think they are links used for the ToC.

I just delete them. I also try to clean out everything from the Word document *before* I import:

* Delete title pages and and ToC.
* Delete page headers and footers
* Make sure that all headings are formatted using the built-in names

Then after import, I use the Regex capabilities of the source editor to clean out other stuff, or replace br tags with p tags.

body: This may be a stupid question but, how do you get into the source editor in Confluence? I can only see the visual editor!


author: Bill Bailey
body: It is a free add-on: [confluence-source-editor](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1210722/confluence-source-editor?hosting=server&tab=overview). I use it everyday to fix issues, or for much better find/replace.
Can I used Confluence for publicly accessible documentation?
Asked by Brian Sheridan:

I would like the confluence page to be branded with our logo and color etc


Answers:
author: Shannon Meehan _K15t_
body: Hey [@Brian Sheridan](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3509852) ,

I'm Shannon from K15t, and I wanted to jump in here as we have a couple apps that could be interesting to you for this use case.

[Scroll Viewport](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211636/scroll-viewport-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview) helps you present your documentation as a help center or website (as JP noted above). We recently released a new theme that makes it easy to customize to your liking without writing any code. We use the theme ourselves for our K15t help center, so you can have a look at a live example (<https://help.k15t.com/>) to see what's possible with the setup. Everything you see there is what's customizable in the theme, so logos, colors, layouts, navigation, etc. This app is available for Server and Data Center.

[Scroll Documents](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1217608/scroll-documents-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) is another option if you need to make your docs publicly available. It's more lightweight on the customization end, but offers a lot of benefits for the authoring side of things like versioning, a great diffing feature, and an integration with our Exporter apps. Here's a [blog post that outlines this solution](https://www.k15t.com/blog/2019/09/create-a-public-documentation-library-in-confluence-cloud) and it's available for Cloud and Server.

If you have any questions, we'd happy to help or show you a demo. Just get in touch with us: hello@k15t.com.

Cheers,

Shannon (K15t)

if you're using server / datacenter: There are a couple of apps/addons available, allowing for a customized look of Confluence.

author: Kris G _Alacriz_
body: Yes. You can use Confluence for publicly accessible documentation. You need to allow anonymous access in your system administration settings.

On branding, Confluence can be customized using native and marketplace app features. The following links could be a good starting point:

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/customize-your-space-139423.html>

<https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Is-there-a-way-to-brand-Confluence-Cloud-version-with-your/qaq-p/203640>

I hope that helps!

comments: author: Brian Sheridan
body: Yes, that does help. I will look at the links and check with out sys admin to see if we can modify the settings and see how much customization is possible.

Thanks for the reply.

Display relationships
Asked by guido.van.lammeren:

Hi,

We have a set of content in Confluence with quite some internal relationships between pages. I know that I can the relationships of an individual page by viewing its page properties. However if I want to view the relationships of multiple pages, preferably in a matrix would that be possible?

best regards,

Guido

To illustrate what I am looking for: We have set of policies and controls documented in Confluence each policy and control is an individual page. I would like to get an overview of that policies relate to which control in a matrix.


Answers:
author: Kris G _Alacriz_
body: I am not sure if I understood your question correctly.

If you're looking to display the parent-child relationship, you can use Children Display macro in Confluence. More details are on <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/children-display-macro-139501.html>

If you want details from one page to be displayed in another page that is related, you may use Page Properties and Page Properties Report macros after some careful analysis on how to use them together. Instructions on how to use them are on <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/page-properties-macro-184550024.html> and <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/page-properties-report-macro-186089616.html> respectively.

If the above does not help, please elaborate your challenge a little bit more.

Thanks,  
Kris

comments: author: guido.van.lammeren
body: Ho Kris,

seems that I have not made it clear enough what I am looking for. If you select the page properties it show the incoming and outgoing links of that page (see below).

I am looking for a way (if possible) to show these relationships for multipages at once preferrably in a matrix kind of form.

![Schermafbeelding 2019-08-02 om 09.51.31.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/62218i1F6696388623EE12/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Schermafbeelding 2019-08-02 om 09.51.31.png")?


author: Kris G _Alacriz_
body: Hi [@guido.van.lammeren](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3511347)

Firstly, it's Page Info as Page Properties has a different meaning in Confluence ;)

Please try the below links, probably you can get some pointers:

<https://avono-support.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PUML/pages/26607625/Macro+linkgraph> (it's a free app on Marketplace for server and DC)

<https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Answers-Developer-Questions/Get-incoming-links-with-in-a-user-macro/qaq-p/538128>

Sorry that I could be of only limited assistance here.

this is a Confluence bug. **Currently, there is no known workaround for this behavior** . A workaround will be added here when available: <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-59082>

That was fixed for Jira here: <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWSERVER-20669>

Technical information: The value -1 is returned and divided by the number of CPU cores.  
For example: with 4 CPU cores it would then be:  
-1 / 4 (cores) = -0.25 -\> -25% Load

1. Export the current confluence as XML with attachments. Login as admin, go to General configuration \> Backups and Restore.
2. Once the XML is generated, shut-down Confluence.
3. Install Confluence on new instance connecting to new database.
4. Copy the XML from step1 to 'restore' directory located in home directory of Confluence
5. During the setup wizard, it will prompt for restoring of data
6. At this step, scroll down to restore, select the XML and click restore.

Embed self-hosted video in Confluence Cloud
Asked by Fredrik Warfvinge:

Hi,

I'm looking for a way to embed a video we are hosting on our own servers into the knowledge base we are building for our service desk integration. We would prefer not to have to purchase extra macros from the marketplace.

We are using the cloud version of the software, so we cannot activate the html macro from Atlassian.

We would also prefer not to be forced to rely on external services such as Youtube or Vimeo to do this. Is there any way at all to embed videos that unlicensed service desk customers can see when they view the knowledge base?


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Fredrik,

Welcome to Atlassian Community. It's great to have you. I would recommend using the [iFrame Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/iframe-macro-950276528.html) in order to display your hosted videos. You can use this to embed an iFrame in your page that will display your video.

Let me know if you have any questions about this.

Answers:

body: Dear [@Himanshu](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3327488) ,

because your few words on this questions, I have a lot to assume. I guess you would like to modify the code to allow anonymous spaces. You can do. If you are owner of a valid license, you can download the source code of Confluence Server, modify and compile it. Depending on your skills and time you could most probably do what you want.

Blank screen after Confluence login
Asked by Kris Germann:

Hey all,

I recently upgraded my Confluence instance and after a reboot, received timeout errors from Confluence startup in catalina.out:

*30-Jul-2019 21:33:38.145 WARNING \[Catalina-utility-3\] org.apache.catalina.valves.StuckThreadDetectionValve.notifyStuckThreadCompleted Thread \[http-nio-8090-exec-11\] (id=\[230\]) was previously reported to be stuck but has completed. It was active for approximately \[140,243\] milliseconds.*

<br />

I also receive a number of timeout errors in Nginx:

I feel it necessary to note that I am able to at least get to the login page error-free, and can request a password reset + actually log in, it is only after login that I get any errors; any post I've seen regarding a blank screen usually is the entire instance not just after login from what I can tell.

Here is a snapshot of what my browser is saying:

How do I solve this error in Confluence?
Asked by Baheej Al-Khatib:

This error occurs when I try to access a space. The space never loads and I am either stuck on a loading screen or the following error is displayed:

![Confluence Error.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/61915iD0F564D285240220/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Confluence Error.png")


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Baheej,

Happy to help. I'd like to know more about the extent of this problem.

1. Does this occur only on this one space?
2. If you were to search in Confluence for a page that is in that space and click on it, can you visit that page?
3. Are other users able to replicate this?
4. Does the problem occur on all other browsers? (i.e. Firefox, Chrome, IE, Safari, Edge, etc.)
5. If you were to [put Confluence in Safe Mode](https://confluence.atlassian.com/upm/disabling-and-enabling-apps-273875716.html), does the issue persist?
6. Lastly, are there any special macros on the overview (home page) of that space that might cause the issue?

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Regards,

Shannon

How to merge tables from sub pages onto top level page
