Team Calendars
Asked by Milan Jeli?i?:

Hi,

we recently start using team calendars for Confluence. We are wondering is there a possibility of inserting a link in the calendar in any way?

We use JIRA service desk for our ticketing sistem, and it would ment a great deal to us if we could attach a link of the ticket in the event of the calendar?

King regards,

Milan

body: Hi Shannon,

this is a great option, but we can not mix JIRA issues and other event types in the same calendar.

Is it possible in any way just to put the issue link in the event of the calendar?

Kind regards,

MilanJ

body: Hi Milan,

Currently, not, but there's a feature request here to be able to link Jira questions besides creating a Jira Calendar:

* [CONFSERVER-49156](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-49156)

I recommend that you vote on the issue in order to show the level of demand for such a feature, and watch it if you want to be updated on any progress.

Let us know if you have any questions about that.

Kind Regards,  
Shannon


author: Shannon S
body: Hi Milan,

When you connect Jira and Team Calendar, it does allow you to insert issue dates into the calendar, which, in turn, gives a View Issue link:

[Team Calendar - Add Jira Events](https://confluence.atlassian.com/teamcal/add-jira-events-241566244.html)

Is this the sort of thing you were looking to do?

Kind Regards,  
Shannon

502 Bad Gateway when setting up Confluence Data Center on AWS
Asked by Dennis Andersen:

Hi,   
We've followed the guide for setting up Confluence Data Center on AWS using this quickstart/guide <https://aws.amazon.com/quickstart/architecture/confluence/>  
Basically using all default values, the stacks are created successfully. But when we're trying to access the stack output url to do the confluence setup wizard we just get a 502 Bad Gateway. Anyone else had issues with this or any clues?   
Cheers!   
Dennis


Answers:
author: Dennis Andersen
body: So the issue was based in the EC2 instances not being initiated properly. More specifically Rebooting the Confluence Node(s) seemed to solve the issue. What this inital issue depended on I don't know, but if you have similar issues try restarting/terminating+creating a new node.

comments: author: AnnWorley
body: Thanks for following up to help others who run into this issue.


author: Dennis Andersen
body: So I'm back at the 502 bad gateway now, and restarting the instances doesn't seem to work anymore. So this solution might not work..


author: AnnWorley
body: To get the dialogue started, please let me know whether you used  
1. Deploy Confluence Data Center into a new VPC on AWS

2. or Deploy Confluence Data Center into an existing VPC

This guide may help as well: [Running Confluence Data Center in AWS](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confeap/running-confluence-data-center-in-aws-873933052.html)

If the Atlassian stack is generating, but we just can't hit it with the browser, it could be something with the load balancer configuration. In addition to working with us here at Atlassian, it may be useful to contact AWS.

comments: author: Dennis Andersen
body: Hi Ann,

Thank you for the reply. We deployed into a new VPC and are in the region EU (Frankfurt). We also made sure to follow the guide you linked. AWS lists three running instances, and the CloudFormation Stacks were all successful, so it seems we're just missing something obvious.

If you are all set now, please let us know any details that might help the next person who is setting up Confluence Data Center on AWS.

How can I create a dynamic fields in Confluence?
Asked by Stoyan Andreev:

I would like to make a unique template for the projects we are working on.

For some fields it should get **information** from other pages in confluence and this information should be automatically updated when any changes have been made in the other page. Example for this **information** concerning any project: version, status, environment, etc.

Could you please advise if there is any available macro for this or is there a free of paid macro in the marketplace.

My current version of Confluence is 5.10.4. Is it possible the features that I am searching for to be available in any of the most recent versions?

Thank you in advance for your attention and your support!

Stoyan Andreev


Answers:
author: Christo Mastoroudes _Adaptavist_

If the answer solves your question, please mark it as accepted so that other people with the same issue can benefit from it.

comments: author: Stoyan Andreev
body: Hi Christo,

That works, but only when you want to choose just one field per page.

Is there any other tool for transferring information from several field on a single page at a time?

author: Christo Mastoroudes _Adaptavist_
body: Hi,

It seems there is a Multi Excerpt app for that, although I have not used it myself.

Might be worth a trial to see if it works for you.

How to pull a report of all Wiki pages that exist under the root page ?
Asked by Sandeep Anand:

*I need to be able to pull a report of all Wiki pages that exist under the root page.*

*Would it be possible to get the Report plug in or an audit log of the pages under that root page?*

*Any help regarding this will be greatly appreciated.*

*Thanks and Regards*

*Sandeep Anand*


Answers:
author: Thomas Schlegel
body: Hi,

that can be done easily with the children display macro.

Add a new page to your space and put the "children display" macro on that page.

Then edit this macro and add your root page as the "Parent Page".

After saving the page, it shows you all the children of your root page.
Migrating and upgrading Confluence
Asked by IT Support:

Hi There,

At the moment we are running a project to migrate our confluence application to a new hardware with an updated operating system.

On the existing hardware we have windows server 2003 running and confluence firmware 3.5.13

We now have a new environment, windows server 2012 R2 where we want to install the updated version of Confluence

I do understand that we could not jump to the latest version but we need to first install 3.5.13 on the new machine, upgrade to 5.0.3 then to the latest version.

Upgrade Confluence 3.5.13 to latest version on bra...

We have downloaded the installer for 3.5.13 and after extracting we do not understand how to run the application to get it running before upgrading to 5.0.3

Could you please explain the steps to install the application on the new hardware ?

On the new server, we intend to install Microsoft SQL server 2014 or 2012 to run with the 3.5.13 confluence version.

Could you please provide us with a temporary trial license of confluence with full access to be sure that there is no limitation on our new server before transferring our existing license to the new server. this is because we are not sure if we use our license on the new hardware, it will stop the confluence on the production environment which we cannot afford.

Please find below the zip content of the 3.5.13 that we download, please advise the next steps of Action.![Capture.PNG](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/8106i2F66EAF27157B801/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Capture.PNG")

Is it possible that you are accessing an old copy of the VM? Applying a license does not delete data or roll back to a previous date's data. We need to look for a reason the updates are missing since the time the license was applied. Was there any other change at that time? Could a snapshot of the VM have been restored by mistake?

I look forward to hearing more about the case.

How do you create a connection between calendar and Pages For Today (iOS)?

Page titles - ignore part of the title in the (automatic) menu
Asked by Jan Kennis:

Dear Confluence experts,

We are currently building a wiki on tropical diseases on Confluence. In our wiki, we often have the same page titles (treatment, diagnosis, etc.). These off course therefore are recurring title pages. Up until now, we used Scroll Versions to be able to use double page titles, but ran into problems of incompatibility with our chosen theme plugin (Brikit). Therefore, we are looking for another solution.

We want to implement titles like this: "Malaria - treatment" and "Dengue - treatment" to do away with double page titles. However in our main navigation on the left, we want the part before the "-" (and a space thereafter) to be hidden because otherwise the menu becomes to elaborate, and the first part will be repeated throughout the menu. Is this possible somehow with standard confluence features (or a plugin?), or does this require custom development? If custom dev., what would be the best way to implement this?

Thank you,

Jan


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: There's no way to do this, Confluence relies on the whole page title.

If you're having problems with Brikit, I'd look at other options for theming instead - write your own or move to one of the other two theming engines.

Can't edit page anymore after typing error in JQuery code, page content lost
Asked by Andre Vergison:

When I put the following code in a HTML macro then it works great:

```
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
??? $("#hide").click(function(){
??????? $("p").hide();
??? });
??? $("#show").click(function(){
??????? $("p").show();
??? });
});
</script>

<p>If you click on the "Hide" button, I will disappear.</p>

<button id="hide">Hide</button>
<button id="show">Show</button>
```

However, as soon as I enter the following...

```
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {

??? oTable.fnAdjustColumnSizing();
?? ?
} );
</script>
```

which of course doesn't make much sense, then I can save the page, but if I edit it again then it shows just nothing, I cannot view source code (\<\>), no preview, I can only save the blank page. After this save then all content is gone.

What am I missing?

(ie. a selection drop down list "while editing the page" like ver1 or ver2, or ver3 ... I pick one of those because one of those applies to the article I am writing about. and then add another selection for product like software, hardware, network...

Is there not something that can be used as an easy selection for adding such content about a How To Article? I also have tried the forms for confluence with the forms list macro ... but this is not what I am trying to do.
