Passing form data in Multi-Dialog pages
Asked by Sven:

Hey,

i have build a blueprint template with two pages in the wizard dialog.  
Is there a way to pass data from the first page to the second page?

Soy

```
{template .page1Form}
<form action="#" method="post" class="aui">
 <fieldset>
  <div name="Definition" class="field-group">
   <label for="vtopics">{getText('my.blueprint.form.label.title.vTopics')}</label>
   <input id="vtopics" class="text" type="text" name="vTopics" placeholder="{getText('my.blueprint.form.label.title.vTopics.placeholder')}">
  </div>
 </fieldset>
</form>
{/template}

{template .page2Form}
<form action="#" method="post" id="hello-blueprint-form" class="aui">
 <fieldset>
  <div name="Count" class="field-group">
   {loop through vTopics...}
  </div>
 </fieldset>
</form>
{/template}
```

Atlassian xml

```
 <!-- Blueprint -->
<blueprint key="blueprint" index-key="index" content-template-key="protokoll-template" i18n-name-key="my.blueprint.name">
 <dialog-wizard key="protokoll-wizard">
  <dialog-page id="page1Id" template-key="Plugins.Blueprint.Protokoll.page1Form" title-key="my.blueprint.wizard.page1.title" last="false"
   description-header-key="my.blueprint.wizard.page1.desc.header" description-content-key="my.blueprint.wizard.page1.desc.content" />
  <dialog-page id="page2Id" template-key="Plugins.Blueprint.Protokoll.page2Form" title-key="my.blueprint.wizard.page2.title" last="true" />
 </dialog-wizard>
</blueprint>
```

So there are these two pages in the dialog and i want to process a loop through a value typed in in the first page.

Thank you :)

EDIT:

Got it working with "soyRenderContext"

Authorize Google Drive Connector message?
Asked by Shawn Connelly:

Hello,  

As of today (Oct. 9, 2019), I am seeing a message box wherever I have used the Confluence Google Drive macro. It is a simple matter of clicking on it but this is not acceptable behavior. Why is this suddenly occurring and is it being fixed?  

Message: "Authorize Google Drive Connector"

![2019-10-09_18-41-41 - Authorize Google Drive Connector.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/68997i34333A576CBC294F/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "2019-10-09_18-41-41 - Authorize Google Drive Connector.png")


Answers:
author: Shawn Connelly
body: On a possibly related note, I think this macro is also not refreshing the attached video correctly.   

When posting new videos to Google drive, Google will take some time to render them before they become viewable. But as of yesterday (the first time I noticed), when linking videos that are still being renders with the Confluence Google Drive macro, the rendering message seems permanent, even after Google has completed it's rendering.  

The only fix seems to be removing the macro, saving the Confluence page, re-editing and adding the macro back in, after the video becomes available from Google Drive. :(  

Key points to the recent issues with the Google Drive macro:  
- The Authorize Google Drive Connector message is new and reoccurring.  
- The macro needs to be removed and reapplied to refresh the video's availability.

Handwriting in Confluence
Asked by Matt-Murphy:

Hello all,

I started a new technical writing role with a software company that uses Confluence Cloud, which i am enjoying. I've probably only scratched the surface win my few months gettong to know it, but i do see the value and potential of the product.

OneNote, however, has always been an essential part of my workflow - especially with my Surface and Surface Pen. From lecture and meeting notes to prose after work, it's always been that workflow of physically jotting notes.

Though I really enjoy the customization and macros that Confluence offers, I REALLY miss showing up to a meeting ans simply taking hand written notes.

I have tried using Zapier with little success ("ink.node.not.valid" type errors).  
I have also been taking screen shots and copying in the images, but it feels disjointed and silo'd.

is there ANY way that to add Surface Pen/Windows Ink compatibility to Confluence?   

Thanks in advance for any responses.

Why does my editing capabilities freeze?
Asked by Eileen Callahan:

feels like a random experience

editing "greys out' and i cannot click on cuttin a column or changing the font or or or


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Eileen,

Welcome to Atlassian Community. It's nice to meet you.

To know why your Confluence instance is freezing, you'll need to have a look at your [Confluence Server Logs](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/working-with-confluence-logs-108364721.html). You'll also want to consider if it happens more on specific pages, spaces, or for specific users. When you notice the issue occurs, go back and check your Server Logs, and you'll be able to see the issues that were occurring.

Lastly, you can also try to use your Developer Tools console in your browser to see if a particular request is taking a long time.

Let me know if you have any questions about this.

Regards,

Shannon

Copy a page to a space overview
Asked by Robert_Bergman:

Hello,

Is it possible to copy a page to become the spaces overview page?


Answers:
author: Fabienne Gerhard
body: Hi [@Robert_Bergman](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3352965)

welcome to this wonderful community

Copy is never a good option. You can set any page as Space Homepage -\> see end of [documentation](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/set-up-a-space-home-page-829076213.html) here (Set another page as homepage)

Another option could be using ?[Page include](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/include-page-macro-139514.html)' macro which would mirror the whole content of a page to another page. If something is changed on parent page it's shown in macro too.

If you only want show only show a part of content have a look on ?[Excerpt](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/excerpt-macro-148062.html)' macro for showing part of content on the space homepage.

Hope this helps!

comments: author: Robert_Bergman
body: Hello and thanks for the response.

<br />

I was told that copy was an option because the page I was seeking to *copy from*was created using the old editor and that the functionality of the old editor was preferable to using the new editor.


author: Fabienne Gerhard
body: Hi [@Robert_Bergman](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3352965)

ok that Cloud Editor grrr thing sets everything in a totally new light. You got me here. You can easily copy the page -\> see [here](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/move-copy-and-hide-pages-724764858.html). (Copy Pages)

Then set it as homepage like it's described in [documentation here](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/set-up-your-space-homepage-827106219.html). (Set another page as your overview)

Sorry for first getting you wrong.
Is it possible to create a task within an outline?
Asked by Chris Leake:

Everytime I create one off an outline row, it creates a task at the bottom of the page or outline content.

Basically, I'm trying to assign specific outline items to people via tasks. Creating jira tickets is pretty heavy and cumbersome.

Thanks


Answers:
author: Michael Kuhl _Appfire_
body: Hi Chris - Try being mindful to only highlight the single line of text without highlighting the small amount of whitespace at the end of the line. I've found if I'm not careful with that then it will grab the next line as well.

If you can adjust your task format to a table then you can make it very easy to create Jira issues. This [video](https://youtu.be/oEMDz0D4JmE?t=150) illustrates how.

comments: author: Chris Leake
body: Hey Michael thanks for the pro-tip on jira ticket creation. But what I'm looking for is to create Confluence tasks, not jira tasks. That doesnt seem to work with highlighting the line or highlighting nothing (just insertion point at the start of the line). This is all in edit mode. Am I missing something with this?


author: Michael Kuhl _Appfire_
body: Ah, ok! Not sure wether you are using cloud or private Confluence, but with cloud Confluence when you add tasks via the page editor it provides an add task link in view mode.

![2019-10-10_08-55-15 (1).gif](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/69064i8ADB1196F0C25B53/image-dimensions/543x259?v=v2 "2019-10-10_08-55-15 (1).gif")


author: Chris Leake
body: I think we're talking past each other a bit. Confluence calls those Action items and it doesnt seem to support creating them on items inside an outline. They only live outside of the content that I'd like to make an action item.

MS OneNote does a great job of this, and Apple notes does an okay job, and confluence does a horrible job.


author: Michael Kuhl _Appfire_
body: If an outline implies a structure within which the tasks reside, then yes. Atlassian expects you to adopt Trello or Jira (or some other task manager) for that and then use their Confluence integration to embed them in context.

With the help of **Run Macro** from [Run Self Service Reports](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/189/run-self-service-reports-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview) app you will be able to configure [pre-defined variables](https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/RUN/pages/8486920/Pre-defined+variables) for **$page_title**and the SQL macro needs to be embedded within Run Macro.

Please find below screenshot for your reference and please note that in below screenshot $page_title will be substituted in SQL macro.

are you sure there is a "SQL Query" marco in standard Confluence? I'm not sure about that.

comments: author: Christophe Bonvin
body: Hi,

The issue is not with the sql macro, which is not part of confluence, but provided by Bob Swift from Appfire as a very useful plugin.

The issue is how to pass a variable into CDATA\[...\] for rendering. With the "old" wiki markup, it was possible to use something like

#set ($runMacro =" {sql-query:datasource=source}select somestuff from sometable{sql-query}")

$action.getHelper().renderConfluenceMacro($runMacro)

I do not know how to do that with the new format.

MySQL 5.7.27

I did Jira MySQL installation with characterEncoding as utf8mb4 successfully.  
Now while I'm trying for Confluence setup it is asking me to change the characterEncoding as utf8.   

What should I need to change the configuration in process to achieve this task?  
If I configure both Jira \& Confluence on same machine on same MySQL database what will be the issue?  
Which are the best versions to be configure on Ubuntu 16.04 without issues?

author: Alexis Robert
body: Hi [@Sambit Kumar Patra](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/709769) ,

Jira and Confluence use a different character encoding, this should be setup when you create the database.

For Confluence :

    CREATE DATABASE confluencedb CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_bin;

For Jira :

    CREATE DATABASE jiradb CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_bin;

You don't need to change the entire MySQL server default setting as it can be set for each database that you create.

For Confluence, this guide can be useful for MySQL setup : <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/database-setup-for-mysql-128747.html#DatabaseSetupForMySQL-3.Createdatabaseanddatabaseuser>

Let me know if this helps,

--Alexis

comments: author: JP _AC Bielefeld Leader_
body: One remark:

If the database \& the tables already exists, it is NOT sufficient to just change the character set / collation for the database. Every table MUST be converted to the new settings on it's own.
