Configuring Project Links
Asked by Stefan Lorimer:

I have successfully setup Application links between Jira, Confluence and Salesforce.

When attempting to configuring a project application link, I get the following error.

Sorry, there are no links available when using anonymous access, check the permission configuration of the remote application.


Answers:
author: Theinvisibleman
body: Hi Stefan,

Seems that there was some permission problems in regards to the applinks. May I know if the applinks were also created on the target instance? For example, you created applinks from JIRA to Confluence, but were the links also created from Confluence to JIRA?

Cheers,

Joe

Confluence OnDemand Info Macro spans entire page
Asked by Erik Hess:

Since the upgrade this week, the info macro looks different.

1) Used to be blue, it's transparent now (not a big deal)

2) now spans the entire page, so it overlaps a left-justified graphic I have next to it (in the previous version, it just spanned the part of the page past the graphic).

I'd guess I could use section/column macros to fix this, but it worked before, would like it to work again. Thanks!

body: Thanks Joey I'll watch that ticket. Incidentally in the ticket, I see the differences in shading too. The extremely light shading shows up in the screenshot included in the ticket, but I recall it being more blue, like the Labels entry where it says collector-2c26a36d, or the blue just to the right of this question (the box with Follow This Question, Related Questions, etc.

Are you talking about Confluence? In this case, you can go to space directory, find the space in which you created the page and [browse the pages](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Viewing+All+Pages+in+a+Space) and see if it is there. You can also place your cursor in the search bar on the top of any page and a list of recently accessed pages should drop down. See if you can find it there.

If you can find it, please, open a request at support.atlassian.com and choose 'OnDemand Support'. We will be glad to help you with this.

I hope it was helpful.

Kind regards.

Look & Feel
Asked by Asher Lohman:

We are running a premise install of JIRA version 5.2.7 and I noticed that it doesn't look nearly as nice as a different version of the ondemand JIRA. It also doesn't match your online demo. The ondemand version has a nice big heard with buttons instead of the small header with a menu underneath.

How do we turn off the blog?

How do we turn off the blog completely including all links?


Answers:

You can manage this by:

1. Using permissions or

1. click 'Configure Sidebar' for a space that you are the administrator of,
2. click the '-' icon next to the "Blog" link to hide it, and
3. click 'Done'.

This will hide the link to the blog, but it will not remove everything blog-related (e.g. the 'Blog post' content type when clicking 'Create' will remain).

Confluence: Moving spaces from Staging to Production servers by overwriting existing space
Asked by Chitra Patil:

Hi,  

I am looking to see how other people who have implemented this have dealt with this situation.

We have a staging server where we are developing documents and updating the documents before release--there are about 50 documents. Each document is its own space. For release, we need to move all the documents to the production server which have books with the same name, but older versions. At present, we have download each document/space, export and import them into the new server because Confluence doesn't allow you to overwrite a space with another space of the same name.

This is getting very complicated as we have to do this often. I know there is a CLI which replaces spaces, but that didn't work for us.

I appreciate if anyone who has to deal with a similar situation can reply how they resolved this problem.


Answers:
author: Sean King
body: The only solution I have is to first delete the space in production that's being replaced before uploading the newer version. Should be quick and painless unless you're needing content from the old space. If you do then move it to a different space first so the spacekey doesn't match the space you're uploading.

Confluence logo corners cropped off
Asked by Ben:

Why are my confluence logo corners now being chopped off in 5.0?

Restricting users to have a round logo seems like a bad design decision as this will affect anyone with a non-round logo or force them to have a smaller than normal logo.

I would consider this a bug and it needs to be fixed. Is there a JIRA issue open for this problem?

Several people have raised this concern so I've created <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-28275> to track this request.

UI Styleguide - iFrame? Frameset?
Asked by kayla block:

I'm trying to create a UI style guide using Confluence.

I have a list of things (buttons, data grids, text fields, etc), and when the user clicks on a link, I want that list of things to still show, and show samples and drilled down information to the right.

The answer would seem to be an iFrame or even an old fashioned Frameset, but I don't see any way to get my links to behave in that way.

I don't see any versioning information on our instance of Confluence, but we recently upgraded, so it's probably close to the latest or the latest.


Answers:
author: SarahA
body: Hallo kblock

Would the Documentation theme work for you? It shows a tree of pages in a panel on the left.

You could create a page for each item in your list. People could then navigate through the list by choosing the items in the left-hand panel.

If you wanted to, you could them also use a Children macro (or a Pagetree macro) on the top-level pages, showing the hierarchy on the body of the page as well as in the left-hand panel. This could be a useful way of showing the doc structure in PDF and printed versions of the documentation.

You can see the Documentation theme at work in this space:

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONF43/Confluence+Documentation+Home>

Here's a guide to configuring the Documentation theme:

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONF43/Configuring+the+Documentation+Theme>

I hope this answers the question.

Cheers, Sarah

comments: author: kayla block
body: Hi Sarah

Based on what I'm looking at, I think we're already using that Documentation theme. But the left nav is being used.

I don't have Admin rights. Can I create a left nav for a particular space? And if not, can it be done with admin perms in a way that doesn't change the left nav in all spaces?


author: SarahA
body: Hallo kblock

You do need space admin permissions to configure the left-hand nav. (Not Confluence admin, just space admin.) And yes, it's possible to change the config for just one space. You can even have sections, perhaps with the global navigation options at the top, and space-specific navigation options underneath. By default, the Documentation theme adds a tree of pages just from the current space.

Cheers, Sarah
unable to connect to confluence from another pc in intranet

You'll need to find that block and remove it. It's probably your firewall - needs to be told to accept incoming tcp on that port.
style tag in Confluence 3 and 4
Asked by Guenter Huber:

Trying to make sure our upgrade from Confluence 3.5 to 4.3 will go smoothly I need to wrap my head around the {style} tag.

We have

```
{style}/*CSS*/{style}
```

in 3.5. Doesn t work in 4.3. Replacement:

```
&lt;style type=text/css"&gt;/*CSS*/&lt;/style&gt;
```

Then I found that the Adaptivist Content Formatting macros expose a {style} too. Guess this \*adds\* functionality?

Thought I could use {xhtml-style} macro in 4.3 instead of the HTML \<style\>, but didn t work.

Thanks for any insight.

G.


Answers:
author: Daniel Borcherding
body: Hello,

I just wanted to touch base with you on this issue. I don't seem to be able to find mention of a {style} macro that comes pagaged with Confluence. It looks like you are trying to inject css into a given page. Why are you using a style macro versus an html macro?

You are right that the Adaptavist Content Formatting macro exposes a style macro. Are you trying to use this macro to do your styling? If so it may be the case that the migration task that updates all of the existing style tags into the 4.3 compatible version of this plugin is failing.

How many pages are you using this on? What is the functionality that you want to acheve? Maybe there is anther way we can acheive it.

I'm having the same challenge. Anyone can suggest how I can open a KeePass DB file stored on Confluence via URL?

I can fetch it perfectly fine with curl --user user1 -L -O <https://confluence.local/download/attachments/1234567890/Keepass.kdbx> -k

But if I specify the same link in KeePass, the following error pops:

> Failed to load the specified file!

Tried http instead of https, no luck.

Font size and padding Confluence 5.0
Asked by Jason Ota:

Is there a way to change the font size and padding on Confluence OnDemand 5.0? Or a workaround to fit more on the screen (other than scaling with browser zoom)? Having limited control over this in OnDemand seems to be quite a drawback. We use this product on desktops and want to see more information on the screen not less. The default font size and line padding in Confluence 5.0 is oversized and honestly pretty ridiculous. It is a step backwards for us.


Answers:
author: Jason Ota
body: The font size and padding can be changed in Confluence OnDemand if you switch to the "Documentation Theme" and apply some CSS.

Confluence Admin -\> Themes, then choose "Documentation Theme" and Confim.

The "Configure theme" link should be visible. Click this and then put your CSS into the Header textbox. For example:

{style}  
p, ul, li, table  
{   
font-size: 10pt;  
}  
p  
{  
margin-top: 5px;  
}  
{style}

Save it, then refresh one of your pages to see the result. This worked for me.


author: Ben
body: I agree. There is also padding missing in multiple places that simply make the layout/display look bad.

Not to mention space logo corners now getting cut off.
