body: Hello there, [@leiso](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3674815) . Nice to see a newcomer collaborating here in our community. Welcome!

I do not really understand what you mean by "*Is it possible to turn get rid of the ? icon in confluence pages?*". With this in mind, I would like to ask a few questions for you, Leiso. Here we go:
> 1. *Do you need to remove this icon from all your Confluence pages where it is displayed?*
> 2. *Do you need to limit the usage of this icon within your instance?*
> 3. *Do you need to completely remove this icon as an option for users to type?*
> 4. *Can you share a screenshot of a page where this icon is present?*

If you need to completely disable emoticons within your instance, you can take a look here:
> * ++**[\[Atlassian Cloud\] Use symbols, emojis, and special characters - Cancel or disable emojis](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/use-symbols-emojis-and-special-characters-724764854.html#Usesymbols,emojis,andspecialcharacters-Cancelordisableemojis)**++

I hope this helps you to get started! Looking forward to your reply.

body: Thanks for reply. The issue I had was related to tranlation of the Confluence user interface. Solved it by after opening the Confluence dashboard, you can add an url to the Conflunce URL.

To turn off the translation view, add the following to the end of the Confluence URL:

    ?i18ntranslate=off

So I git rid of this:

Pasting Content Error
Asked by Lea:

++Operating System++: Windows 10 Enterprise

++Browser++: Internet Explorer 11

++Confluence version++: 6.13.7

Hi!

Some of our confluence users have reported that they cannot paste content while editing a confluence page. No matter if they using the context menu or the shortcut ctrl+v the page turns transparent grey and in the center pops up this small window:  
![image002.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/76203i1F7FFD58E22A5A8A/image-dimensions/342x377?v=v2 "image002.png")

I've already browsed some questions in the community but haven't found any similar case.

The error occurs even if they copying one-lined text from the same page and pasting it on the page again. And it is only a problem while using our confluence.   
Pasting works totally fine while using another confluence environment via IE11 (also Server but version 6.9).

It is also depending on the browser. Mozilla does not produce the pasting error. But with Mozilla are some other problems. So I'd like to fix the bug for IE11.

The main problem is that I cannot reproduce the problem. I've tried to paste content while using IE11 and everything was good. The user who reported the bug is working in a different department, where the computers are managed differently.

This is quite confusing because I cannot say whether the error source is our confluence environment or their network host.

Maybe some of you dealt with a similar case already.   

Thanks a lot :)

Trying to login in Confluence using python
Asked by anubhav jhalani:

Hi,

I am new to confluence and I have been given a task to access our Company's Confluence's pages programatically.

I found about the REST API call and python's [atlassian-python-api](https://pypi.org/project/atlassian-python-api/) library but none of them seems to be working for me.

The url of confluence page which I am trying to access looks like this :
> *<https://aaa.bbb.com/ccc/ddd/viewpage.action?pageId=80628668>*

I made below curl request :

```
curl -u myLoginusername:myLoginpassword-X GET "https://aaa.bbb.com/ccc/ddd/viewpage.action?pageId=80628668" | python -mjson.tool
```

but I get below response:

```

No JSON object could be decoded
```

when i use [atlassian-python-api](https://pypi.org/project/atlassian-python-api/) in my python script :

```


from atlassian import Confluence
confluence = Confluence(    url='https://aaa.bbb.com/ccc/ddd/viewpage.action?pageId=80628668',    
username='myLoginusername',

status = confluence.get_page_properties(page_id=80628668,)
with open('test.html','w') as f:        f.write(status)
print(status)
```

I am redirected to the login page. Can someone please tell me what am I doing wrong in both cases?

P.S. : I dont have option to create API token in my account.

Is it possible to create a dynamic form in confluence without any plugin
Asked by rashami.abhyankar:

1. Is there a free plugin for the same?

2.Is it possible to create a form with macro? if so is it dynamic?


Answers:
author: Dominic Lagger
body: Hi [@rashami.abhyankar](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3657366)

What you could try is to use google forms and integrate it to your page. But I don't know if this fulfills your goal of a dynamic form.

Otherwise, I think without plugin, there is no way you reach your indiviual goal.

Unable to edit JIRA confluence file in FF 71.0(64-bit)
Asked by Geethika M:

Unable to edit JIRA confluence file in FF 71.0(64-bit)

```


Answers:
author: Stephen Sifers
body: Hello Geethika and welcome to the Community!

From the error you provided and the scenario you described, this does look to be an issue with Firefox having an issue maintaining the connection to Confluence Cloud. With this said, we ask you to attempt to test with another browser to see if the same results are present.

If another browser works then you'll need to further investigate the issues with Firefox. On the other hand, if another browser has the sem results then we'll need to figure out what's causing the interruption between your machine and Confluence Cloud.

We look forward to hearing back to help find the cause of your interrupted pages.

Confluence Usage details on Confluence Admin console
Asked by CarenB:

In Confluence Administration on the View System Information screen, can anyone tell me what is meant by Content (All Versions) and Content (Current Versions) please?

My guess is that the former is the total size of the instance, including all versions of every page held in the page history, while the latter is the size when counting only the latest version of each page. Can anyone confirm that this is this correct?

Confluence Usage  
Total Spaces 11

IFTTT to Add Page Watchers triggered by resource assignments
Asked by Dailin Garcia Young:

I have created a project intake form using confiforms. I am trying to set up IFTTT to add page watchers when a project entry has been submitted and they have been assigned as the resources

I know that i can add specific names under the Page Watcher(s) to add section but that is not specific to whom would get assigned to that particular project.

If someone knows the answer and can also provide visuals, I would really appreciate that :)

\~Dailin


Answers:
author: Davin Studer
body: In the ifttt macro you can use \[entry.fieldname\] in the "Page watchers to add" field to reference the user field in your form that has the people you selected as resources.

comments: author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: To compliment Davin's answer and make it more connected to your form - the "fieldname" from \[entry.fieldname\] shall be the name of the field you have in your form holding the "resources"


author: Dailin Garcia Young
body: Thank you both so much. I was able to get it to work and add the page watchers.

The only issue that i am now encountering is that for the ones that the field type = multi-select doesn't seem to add the users from that list to watch the page but the dropdown field types works.

Is this in fact the case or am i doing something wrong?

\~Dailin


author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: If your multi-select field is a "user multi-select" then it should work without any issues, but if is a generic multi-select field then you need to transform it's values to be suitable for the IFTTT parameter (it accepts the values in a CSV format)

Something like

```
[entry.yourresourcesfield.transform(id).asList]
```

Using transform and asList functions as in docs, <https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/CONFIFORMS/Virtual+functions>

Re-using variables in template
Asked by Mirko Gerke:

Hi!

I'm trying to create a template using the new template editor.

The documentation is still referring to the old editor and I don't find out how to use a single variable in multiple places of the page.

Creating a new variable is done using "/create variable". But how do I **re-use** these variables at another place within the page?

Thanks for your kind help!

Cannot connect to confluence database using domain account Microsoft SQL Server 2016
Asked by Karen Waters:

Hello,

I am currently having issues connecting my confluence to my database using a domain account. If i use a SQL account it works fine.

I tried to follow the instruction on [Cannot connect Confluence to MS SQL Server using a domain account](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/cannot-connect-confluence-to-ms-sql-server-using-a-domain-account-600867138.html?_ga=2.59612269.1358286209.1546857743-1735250289.1546433624) but still no avail. I am also on confluence 7.1 which the error says JTDS is no longer supported and should use jdbc. Is there any updated guide for newer versions of jira?

In the logs it says application unable to contact database using that user.

Any ideas?


Answers:

body: Hi [@Karen Waters](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2779120) - for full JDBC information, see here <https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf71/database-setup-for-sql-server-979423872.html>

1. Check SQL Database for Confluence \> Security \> Users and make sure the user has dbo schema and is a dbo owner
2. Try to mock the login using the username and password (manual verify the user has permissions to connect)
3. You could create a SQL user and password to avoid any domain account issues.

Please advise if this was helpful or if you have additional questions.

Confluence Publish error - multiple users editing same page - new editor
Asked by Jeannine Hooper-Yan:

We regularly have multiple people editing the same Confluence page when remote team members are working together.

But - this seems to be a problem with the newer editor. If we are in the old editor - it works fine. In the new editor, the first person who hits publish is successful. Everyone else gets an error.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Is there a ticket for Confluence saving unpublished changes when none were made?
Asked by Wendy Emerman:

When Person X opens a page in Edit mode, makes no changes, and clicks CLOSE, Confluence saves the person's name with unpublished edits, even though there are no edits.

Of course, the proper way to exit edit mode would have been to "revert to the last published version", but we have thousands of users, and this is not intuitive.

So, when a future editor goes to publish, he gets a message that Person X has outstanding edits, when he actually does not! It is a waste of time to check the whole page for edits that aren't there, or to notify Person X to question.

The close button should automatically revert the page to the last published version if no changes were made.


Answers:
author: Daniel Eads
body: Hi Wendy,

Closing a page without making edits can indeed cause a page to get the "unpublished changes" flag. Unfortunately this has been a known issue in Confluence - we have an open issue to track it at [CONFCLOUD-56893](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-56893). The issue describes some actions that could cause the unpublished changes flag to appear (such as copying some text from the page while in edit mode).

The documented workaround for the bug is exactly as you described - clicking "revert to the last published version".

Cheers,  
Daniel

I'd like to change the Favicon by injecting html into the <head> tag
Asked by Lance Taylor:

I'm trying to insert this code:

    <link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/png" href="/favicon.png"/>

where i would replace the "/favicon.png" with a different URL, depending on the page. I want to be able to modify this depending on the space/page that is in question, not for the server as a whole.

Apparently that line needs to be inside the \<head\> tag, so I don't know how to do that...

"Create new template" under Space User Templates opens the wrong editor
Asked by jeremy.brisebois:

I am trying to create a template I can use with the "Create from Template" macro including a checklist. However, when I go to my space settings and create a new template with the "Create new template" button, I can tell it is using the wrong editor. My header bar looks like this: ![](https://i.imgur.com/CUsDy86.png)

When I save this "template", it does not show up in the list of available templates using the "Create from Template" macro even when specifying a space to look in.

I found another space where someone else had created a User Template (one that DOES show up in the list of available templates using the "Create from Template" macro). If I edit that template I see a completely different header bar:

![](https://i.imgur.com/HY5dSYX.png)

This one contains the Task List button on top where I can easily add checkboxes too. The only option I have using the other (first) editor is Action Items which I could work with but it doesn't even matter because my template isn't available for usage anyway.

Am I creating my template the wrong way? I have no idea what I'm doing wrong

Edit: Looks like the second template was created using the "old" editor which is being removed soon. So I guess the real two problems are  
1) How can I add Task Lists in the new editor  
and  
2) Why can the "Create from Template" macro not find templates saved in the new editor?


Answers:
author: Tomoko Creed
body: Hi - I am dealing with a similar issue creating templates in the new editor. It seems that you can actually add "action items" using the checkbox right next to the "link" - see the screenshot below. Hope this helps.

Restricting users from moving pages from one space into another space
Asked by Upamanyu Kashyap:

I'm looking to stop users from accidentally moving pages into our display space.

We separated out confluence into three big sections where we can are either writing new documentation, hosting sensitive engineering data or displaying completed documentation. However, due to naming conventions sometimes a user might move an incomplete document or sensitive data into our display side.

Is there a way to restrict a space from having pages moved into it?


Answers:
author: Alex Christensen
body: Moving pages between spaces should require the following permissions:

* In the origin space, the user must be able to delete pages.
* In the destination space, the user must be able to add pages.

There is no specific permission related to moving pages. In your case, you will need to make sure that the users you don't want to move pages into your space don't have the Add Pages permission on your space.

body: Thank you, this explains it perfectly!

Docker /opt folder content
Asked by Admin Everest:

Hi Team,

Within <https://hub.docker.com/r/atlassian/confluence-server/> I see that the /var directory is set to be a volume as it holds user data and what not.

Why isn't /opt/atlassian assigned to be a volume as well?

For instance, copied the mysql-connector-java-5.1.48.jar into the container and as it's not a persistent volume the file went away, there is a way of adding a file via docker-complse.yml file but still...

Also used this <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/restore-passwords-to-recover-admin-user-rights-158390.html> work around to recover the admin credentials after restoring from my backup and the update was gone after stopping/starting confluence container.

Is it supposed to behave like this or am I missing the obvious?

Thanks,


Answers:
author: Dave Chevell
body: Hey [@Admin Everest](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1507908) ,

The **VOLUME** instruction "marks it as holding externally mounted volumes from native host or other containers." ([https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/builder/#volume). Because](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/builder/#volume).?Because) **/opt/atlassian** contains the Confluence installation directory, mounting it as a volume would result in overwriting the installation directory with whatever was mounted in its place. If you supplied the installation directory as a volume, upgrading to newer versions of Confluence via specifying a newer Docker version tag would have no effect: no matter what image you used, the updated installation directory would be replaced with your volume contents.

One alternative thing you could try is to mount the actual mysql jar file into the container:

```
docker run -d -v /path/to/mysql-connector-java-5.1.48.jar:/opt/atlassian/confluence/confluence/WEB-INF/lib/mysql-connector-java-5.1.48.jar -p 8090:8090 atlassian/confluence-server:latest
```

Of course, there are a number of other alternative approaches you can take too.

I hope that helps!

Cheers

Dave
