Is there a way to set up an automatic 'path stamp' in files created or located in Confluence?
Asked by Vanessa:

I would like to have trackability for documents stored, saved from or printed from Confluence. In other programs you are able to print the file location in the footer but I have not heard of an option to do this and am hoping someone can help.

If a document is printed or saved from confluence it would be great if at the bottom of the page It read 'XXXcompany.confluence.net/spaceX/filestorage/nameofdoc' or something similar. Can anyone tell me if this exists and, if so, how to set it up?

Thanks!

WebHook for confluence
Asked by Arun Janarthanan:

Team,

Please help in creating and configuring webhooks for confluence.

Objective is to get notified when confluence events occur.


Answers:
author: Rachel Robins
body: I'm excited to announce that webhooks will be available in Confluence 7.7.0 for Server and Data Center.

Registering a webhook can be done through the UI or using the REST API.

You can check it out right now in the [Confluence 7.7 Beta](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Confluence+7.7+beta+release+notes), or take a look at the documentation:

* [Managing webhooks](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/confeap/managing+webhooks) (beta documentation)
* [Webhooks](https://developer.atlassian.com/server/confluence/webhooks/) (developer documentation)

comments: author: Scott Beeson
body: Will Cloud get the ability to manage webhooks via a UI???


author: Tobias
body: Hi [@Rachel Robins](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/853292)

I raised a new feature request:

* [CONFSERVER-80144 Restrict Webhooks to a space or page](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-80144)

Currently, for me, the added value of the feature is not clear, since the triggering of the webhook applies globally to the whole confluence environment. So it is currently not possible to receive notifications for the spaces about which I want to be informed about changes and only about them.

So i hope that Atlassian will soon offer a way to limit this to individual sapces, similar to the functionality that already exists in Jira.


author: Nar Kumar C. - Narva Software
body: Hi Arun,

Update: This app is discontinued. You can register your own webhooks, see this page <https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/modules/webhook/>

We have released a free app on Atlassian Marketplace which adds webhooks and webhooks admin page in Confluence: [Webhooks for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1222017/webhooks-for-confluence)

Give it a try and let us know if you face any issues.

Best,

Kumar

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

Webhooks for Confluence are a great idea. They would allow you to use a much simpler method to get data out of Confluence without having to interact with the REST API.

While this is a great idea, it is not yet a feature as of today. We do however have a feature request to add this as an available feature. For Confluence server: [CONFSERVER-52487](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-52487) and Confluence cloud: [CONFCLOUD-55179](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-55179). We would urge you to vote and watch either one of these so you may get updates on these feature requests.

Once again, webhooks for Confluence is a great idea!

Regards,  
Stephen Sifers

Restrict access to Jira links in Confluence.
Asked by Yurii Chernov:

Hi everyone,

We have our JIRA server instance set to be private so only employees can access it.

Also, we have CONFLUENCE cloud instance, where we were going to provide the reports to our customers.

We would like to let our customers edit the pages on their spaces, but don't want them to edit Jira links, including Jira Issues Macro.

The reason - if customer can edit these links or macro - he can get access to the info from other customers' tickets.

Any suggestions of how to do that will be appreciated!


Answers:
author: Tom Lister
body: Hi [@Yurii Chernov](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1288066)

i'd Look into creating a page for Jira that can't be edited by users and using a macro to display its content in the user editable page

comments: author: Yurii Chernov
body: Thanks, Tom, but It doesn't work for us, as user still have no access to Jira data.


author: Tom Lister
body: Hi

the user access to Jira data is controlled by the Jira permissions so you will have to make some grants if there are users with no access.

you can restrict to browse only via the project permission scheme

if you to restrict even further then use security levels to hide issues from users.


author: Yurii Chernov
body: Thanks Tom, we will try.

How I add a Confluence page to a JIRA ticket?
Asked by dianatamas:

I would like to link a JIRA ticket with a Confluence page.

I mentioned the JIRA in the Confluence page, and in the old JRIA view I noticed there's a link to the Confluence page.

However, nothing appears in the new view. Is there something I'm missing? How can I achieve this?

Just pasting the URL in the JIRA description doesn't look great.


Answers:
author: Shawn Masters
body: In Jira Cloud....

Open the ticket ...go to the top right corner click on the ellipsis. Navigate to Link. Select Confluence Page from the wizard then paste your URL.

\*Edit\* Realized you said NEW ...just double checked in my own instance....same issue unable to link Confluence pages to the ticket.

burndown chart macro in confluence won't export to pdf
Asked by Henrik Mikkelsen:

Hi,

In Confluence I get the Sprint Burndown Gadget fine on the page.

When trying to export to PDF - or Word - unfortunately it doesn't show up.

It only shows a very long link.

Is there a way to export to PDF (without going through doing it by hand and inserting it on the page)


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hi Henrik,

Can you take a look at the PDF attached to the following bug and let me know if that's the same result you're getting?

* [CONFSERVER-29189](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-29189) *PDF/Word export of gadget from JIRA renders html markup*

Per the workaround, if you print the page to PDF using your browser instead of the PDF export functionality, it should work:
> You can print the page with your browser and then select "Save as PDF" instead of actually printing the page. This is because the problem is related to the PDF export library that is unable to render the JS code of the gadgets before triggering the export. When you print the page in the browser, the content is already rendered, so there is no need for a server-side action before generating the export.

Let me know if you have any questions about that.  

Regards,

Shannon

comments: author: Henrik Mikkelsen
body: I can confirm that it is the same problem.

The workaround is, unfortunately, no good. The rest of the page doesn't look OK in that case. And I can't put mandatory headeres and footers on.

Any other solutions?


author: Shannon S
body: Hi Henrik,

Thank you for confirming!

There are no other workarounds at this time. If you vote on the bug I linked and comment with your findings, you will be automatically subscribed to the thread and be updated of any changes in the future.

I can't confirm if any of the following could help you, but there are [a few PDF export related add-ons in Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?product=confluence&query=pdf%20export). One of them might be able to help you, if you want to have a look there?

Regards,

Shannon


author: Yufei Zhu
body: i can also confirm the same problem! There was supposed to be a chart in my following attached picture but if i use " export pdf " plug-in, it end up not able to export the chart at all. And if i do right click and save as pdf, it exports the chart 90 degrees rotated.

Inlcude Confluence Content into Crossdomain Webpage
Asked by Michael Loquai:

Hi Folks,

we use confluence as Wiki for our Company. Now I had the great Idea, to write a "online-help" in wiki for a piece of software we're currently developing.

Problem:

wiki.company.tld somewhere hosted on intern servers beyond proxies and firewalls.

tinylittlesoftware.company.tld is hostet also intern but on other servers.... behind proxies and firewalls.

My first intend was to simply include some content via iFrame into our software. That don't work , cause of the CSP Security Guidelines for FireFox for mixed Content.

**my Question:**   
Is there any Plugin, which allow so serve content from our confluence wiki to requesting pages of crossdomains ? Such as in Wordpress to include some articles via RSS .

Thanks a lot for your Ideas

Michael


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Michael,

In general the mixed content issue has to do with HTTPS and HTTP requests being mixed together.

Are both sites Confluence, or are you looking to embed the content from the Confluence site to a non-Confluence website?

Am I understanding correctly that both sites are internal only, and you have no intention to share the data outside of your firewall?

Regards,

Shannon

Confluence Server Emergency Concept
Asked by Andrei Trif:

Hello guys,

I would like to implement a Confluence Emergency Concept in my company , right now we are running Confluence Server with the application on Windows(VM) and DB on AIX(Oracle).

My question and some of my requirement are :

- Available physical on location (other location) if the data center is gone

- Offline available not dependent of AD


Answers:
author: Andrei Trif
body: Do you have any other suggestions ?


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: The standard minimal setup for an emergency standby like this is

* A copy of the server on a remote site, with Confluence installed, but not running.
* Database replication set up so that production data is replicated over to the emergency site.
* Attachments mounted on shared storage, so there is a copy of production on both sides.

When it goes bang, you turn off (what is left of) Production, fire up the emergency site, trigger re-indexing and redirect the network to look at it instead of production.

There's lots of refining you could (and should) do to that, and it's not quite as simple as I've said as you'll need to fiddle with some settings to make it all work the way you expect, and think about how to go back to production later. But it's the basics.

comments: author: Andrei Trif
body: First off all thank you Nic for the detailed answer.

But to give you a more detailed overview of what I already have in mind. I will like to share my idea .

The server I want will be a physical machine and in the case of a disaster where we don't have the data centre anymore due to floods, earthquake, fire or maybe natural disasters I still have a running Confluence on this PC, also I don't need it to be ready and accessible for all the users in the company, this sever will be accessed only by some IT admins to see the some crucial documentation.

In this hypothetical case , they will see the last synchronized documentation.

This is why I ask the community , can I use this scenario like :

- PC with Windows server 2016

- Data base sync/copy from AIX machine (Oracle ) to this Windows PC (the frequency and full/incremented method will be determined later)

Question here : Can I have the DB on the same computer in this scenario?

- Copy/Sync of the "Files store" folder

- No need to have AD sync for the user, I will use a local Admin account to access the articles.

Problems with Labels in confluence
Asked by Adi Dagan:

Hi there,

There is a problem with the display of the label in a confluence page.

you can see an example:

![Capture.JPG](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/38315i02A84D8F6AA32DFF/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Capture.JPG")Do you know the reason for this error?

and this is how it should be displayed: (for example)

author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

Could you tell us where you are seeing this and what you would expect the labels to be? Edit mode or view (or both)?

JIRA/Confluence integration with other company domain
Asked by hemalatha:

I work with the PM of my customer company. We both work on same project. He has JIRA licence under his entity and i have under my company name. Can i provide access to him for my project on JIRA/Confluence ?


Answers:
author: Aaron Williams
body: You can set this up, but I would advise caution - how much access to other areas of your instance would you want this guy to view/not see...

We achieved this by configuring a new Permission Scheme, Group, and Project Role called 'External', and once these are in place we can invite that person (by email address) to our instance, giving access only to this role/group for the specific project they should be able to access.

My client already has a JIRA licence so, Once i complete the above steps, the email associated with his licence can be given access to my project right? or should I assign a licence for him?


author: Aaron Williams
body: Licences do not transfer to other instances, he will need a new licence with the access you invite him with in order to be able to actually log in and view anything.

Likewise the other way around; you would need a licence in their instance!

Confluence restrictions problem
Asked by Tomasz Bry?a:

Hi,

I have a problem with restrictions in Confluence. I have space with two pages PAGE1 and PAGE2. Page one has no restrictions and everybody can view and edit. PAGE 2 has a View and edit retrictions and few users has permisions to view and edit this page. But problem is taht only person who create this page can edit. Other people who in restriction have permisions to View and edit can only view page. All of those users has set permisions to Add pages in space permisions. Even I as a Confluence administrator can't edit this page


Answers:
author: Tomasz Bry?a
body: I will explain my problem exactly once again. I have space, let's call it Space 1. That's what its structure looks like:  

```
Space 1(No restrictions all users have access to View and Add pages)

|--- Page 1(No restrictions)

|--- Page 2 (Viewing and editing restricted; User A - Can view, User B - Can view and editing,User C (Owner) - Can view and editing)

      |--- Subpage (Viewing and editing restricted; User B - Can view and editing,User C (Owner) - Can view and editing)
```

But User B still can't edit *Subpage* .

comments: author: Tarun Sapra
body: Hello [@Tomasz Bry?a](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1423734)

Since User B has the edit rights on the sub-page as per the information shared by you.

```
User B - Can view and editing"
```

Thus it seems the problem lies else where, can you clone the page in the same hierarhcy and see if the problem persists for the user or not. Also, can you make sure that user C has not added extra restrictions on the subpage as user C is the owner of the sub-page. Also only view page restrictions are inherited and not edit


author: Tomasz Bry?a
body: [@Tarun Sapra](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/781576) In my opinion something is wrong, because even as an administrator I can not edit Subpage, and according to the restrictions I have permission to view and edit.


author: Tarun Sapra
body: Hello [@Tomasz Bry?a](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1423734)

If you are confluence admin, then you can remove any page restrictions that you want.

Please see here

we have server A on site x running Confluence /Jira on localhost msssql, on a virtual machine.

i did a test to clone the whole server to the different site, (site b and server x) but the jira on the new server connecting to the old database, anc i couldnt even log in to the confluence after i changed the server ip according to the new site.

i have also tried to reinstall conflience on the server but i got error around licencing because the reinstalled confluende has a different server id...

so i dont now wich scenario is makes the minimal impact, because im stuck with the licence moving, the database config of Jira/confluence.

Is there any supported scenario to relocate the whole?

do i have to try to move and rewrite config files to connect to the new sql booth jira/confluence? or i have to reinstall them?

Short question: reinstall, or move/manual config files editing?

Thanks for your help in advance!

At this point i have and old colnfluence/jira installation and an identical one on the other site.

my problem was the database collation (mssql) was not supported on the old one (production), and now i have the supported collation on the new one.

This way my only option to migrate is the xml backup restore/ file copy process that im working on at the moment.

Ill send feedback.
