Issues during Space Import
Asked by Navadeep:

Hi Atlassians,

I have performed a Space Import from Confluence v5.4.4 to Confluence v6.7.

I had a Calendar with 2 events created in the page of a Space which I exported.

After the import to v.6.7, I am able to see the Calendar, but not the Events in the Calendar.

Could you please let me know whether it could be a compatibility issue with the version of Team Calendar ?

Thanks !!

Best Regards,

How to show Table Excerpt in a separate table or the same table?
Asked by Ankur Kakkar:

I have created a table which I want to show and prepare summaries from it separately. I don't want to create copy of the table. So that, I can edit once.

Unfortunately, through the below method, the existing table is not visible.

![Table issue.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/29721iEE46F6F10A8BA4D4/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Table issue.png")


Answers:
author: Andrey Khaneev _StiltSoft_
body: Hello Ankur,

Such option will be available in the upcoming version 4.3.0 of Table Filter and Charts add-on. As for now you can use Excerpt and Excerpt Include macros to output a copy of the table on other pages.

comments: author: Andrey Khaneev _StiltSoft_
body: Hello Ankur,

We've released version 4.3.0 with a capability to output a copy of the table with Table Excerpt Include macro.

Different Page Look and Feel for different labels
Asked by Wolfgang G?bl:

I want to have pages that look differently (e.g. different background color) if they have differnt labels.

e.g. all pages labeled 'released' are green, pages labeled 'work-in-progress' grey.

Is there a way?

Thx

It would require customization to accomplish this. I found a discussion below that might help you with the task:

Initialize Confluence Cloud trial site?
Asked by Darryl St_ Pierre:

We currently have a production Cloud Jira, and added a trial Confluence Cloud instance. I've been testing some things out with space imports and various functionality, but now I'd like to wipe out everything Confluence and start over. No connections have been made between content in Jira and Confluence.

Is it as simple as deleting the existing spaces in Confluence, or is there a potential for artifacts? Is there a prescribed way to accomplish this?

I took a look through the KB and searched through Community, but haven't seen anything directly addressing my situation.


Answers:
author: Darryl St_ Pierre
body: For anyone with this question in the future, the official response from Support:

"In order to wipe out the data in Confluence Only, you will need to cancel the subscription for Confluence. Because you have Jira as an active product, the data in Confluence will be immediately deleted once you cancel the subscription. You can then re-activate the subscription to bring Confluence back to the default settings."

Import from ics not popularing 'who'
Asked by Kevin Lynch:

I'm trying to migrate Team Calendar data from one instance of Confluence to another.

I first export the Calendar to iCalendar(ics) and then Add Calendar and choose Import Calendar (ics) into the new instance.

The dates/times and what/description come across. But the who/user data does not.

Am I missing something, I've spent a lot of time researching this and haven't seen anyone having this issue.

We are running Team Calendars 5.3.4 on Confluence 5.8.9.


Answers:
author: Kevin Lynch
body: Figured it out. Team Calendars tracks users using a hexadecimal value. I found that the users hex value is different between the instances. Therefore I need to identify the old and new hex values for all users and then do a mass replace in any calendars that we migrate.

Confluence 6.9 page created by anonymous
Asked by Bob Sellers:

I have a confluence instance that is open to the public for consumption but I want locked down for contributing. I have anonymous access permitted and all the spaces have the permissions set to view for anonymous. The create page button (and templates) still appear and when not logged in, pages can be created (as anonymous).

How does one configure Confluence to allow anonymous read only/view without the ability to create pages???

Cloud-based application to "talk" to On-Premise JIRA Service Desk and Confluence
Asked by Doods Perea:

Using Atlassian APIs, what are the requirements for a Cloud-based software to connect and transact with on-premise instances of JIRA Service Desk and Confluence?

Our JSD is behind a firewall and may be accessed publicly with a username and password. On the other hand, Confluence is for internal use only. A client logging in must be within the company network or VPN.

Thanks in advance for your inputs.

API is on top of HTTP and thus an application layer.

Sharing Confluence Cloud User Space Template
Asked by Susan Puzzo:

I created a template in my space. I now want to make it available to another space. Is there a way to "import" the template from my personal space to another space template inventory?


Answers:
author: Sattesh M
body: Hello Susan,  

At the moment, Confluence does not have this feature, but there is an enhancement request for it that you can find below.

* [Add ability to copy templates](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-7752)

Do vote for the feature, watch the ticket, and leave a comment, to increase it's visibility.  

For now however, we will just have to edit the template in the original space, select and copy all, and paste it into a new template for the other space.

Hope that helps! Do let me know if you have any questions.  

Cheers,

Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: This often means the user directory you are connected to is not working or not reachable.

Have a look in \<confluence home\>/log - there should be a file called something like atlassian-confluence.log , which should contain "\<someone\> tried to log in, does not have use access, cannot read from directory \<x\>"


author: AnnWorley
body: Hi Rob,

If a Java update or database connection were causing problems I would not expect to see the error in the screen shot.

As a direct answer to your question, you may view the database connection URL in the confluence.cfg.xml file in the root of the data directory but I do not think the login screen would appear if that setting is off.

To investigate the login failure, please check the error entries in the log at \<[Confluence_Home](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-home-and-other-important-directories-590259707.html)\>/logs/atlassian-confluence.log. One thing to search for is the user name who tried to log in. Anything with ERROR is also of interest.

I look forward to hearing what you find.

Thanks,

Ann

That looks like a screenshot from a Confluence database. Crowd has it's own database. To find the database Crowd is using check for the file**crowd.cfg.xml** in  
the Crowd Home directory in the "shared" folder or right in the root of Crowd home in older versions. The database sever and name will be on this line:

```
<property name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/cwd301</property>
```

In my case the sever is localhost and the Crowd db is named cwd301.

I look forward to hearing if you can log into Confluence after updating the Crowd database.

Thanks,

Ann


author: AnnWorley
body: Hi Princely,

Based on the knowledge base article you linked, no one can log into Confluence because of SSL issues with a migrated version of Crowd. The article provides a SQL query to take the secure requirement off the SSO cookie. Was your team able to try the query? Please let us know whether anyone can log into Confluence now.

Comala Workflow - give permissions to a person selected for approval
Asked by Tristan Jones:

Hi,

I'm trying to set up an approval workflow whereby someone can create a page with edit rights determined by who is selected as an approver. Ideally, the flow would work in the following way:

1. User creates page - no one else is able to see the content of the unpublished page
2. User submits page to team review and selects the reviewers they want to have access
3. Trigger fires upon selection of reviewers and gives whoever has been selected as an reviewer edit rights to the unpublished page
4. All team reviewers approve the page and it progresses through the workflow

I've tried to achieve this using a trigger and the following markup:

{workflow:name=Quality Approval Workflow\|label=testqualwf\|stickylabels=testqualwf}  
{description}  
Description here  
{description}  
{state:Draft}  
{state-selection:states=Team Review}  
{state}  
{state:Team Review\|approved=Quality Review}  
{approval:Review\|assignable=true}  
{state}  
{trigger:pageapprovalassigned\|approval=team review}  
{add-restriction:type=edit\|user=@assignee@}  
{trigger}  
{state:Quality Review\|approved=Approved}  
{approval:Review\|assignable=true}  
{state}  
{state:Approved\|final=true\|updated=Draft}  
{state}  
{workflow}

I've had no luck as whoever I assign the review to still is not able to see the unpublished version.

Any ideas how I can fix this?

Thanks

HTML macro with javascript
Asked by ????? ???????:

I want to add some javascript functionality to confluence pages. For example <https://stiltsoft.com/blog/2015/08/confluence-tips-and-tricks-task-lists-and-automatic-calculation/> here. But I dont understand how to make my js script to be executed. Maybe there are some restrictions in confluence.

Answers:
author: jndeverteuil
body: Hello,

I'm not sure that it will help you, but on my side it works with the HTML macro on Confluence 6.10.1 with the following script :

```
<ac:structured-macro ac:name="html">    <ac:plain-text-body><span id="how-many-checked"></span>        <script type="text/javascript">            AJS.toInit(function() {                var count = AJS.$('li.checked').length;                if (count == 1) {                    AJS.$("#how-many-checked").text(count + " players.");                } else {                    AJS.$("#how-many-checked").text(count + " players.");                }            });        </script>    </ac:plain-text-body></ac:structured-macro>
```

I removed the CDATA section as I didn't see why I needed it from the example.

Then, it works as intended by the author :

If the Confluence instance is performing as expected it is probably okay to ignore the messages in the catalina.out. It is very chatty about the Tomcat webserver.

If you are having trouble with Confluence, please describe what you are experiencing.

I checked out our doc: [Proxying Atlassian server applications with Apache HTTP Server (mod_proxy_ajp)](https://confluence.atlassian.com/kb/proxying-atlassian-server-applications-with-apache-http-server-mod_proxy_ajp-830284354.html)and noticed the protocol is expressed differently under [3. Configure the Connector directive](https://confluence.atlassian.com/kb/proxying-atlassian-server-applications-with-apache-http-server-mod_proxy_ajp-830284354.html#ProxyingAtlassianserverapplicationswithApacheHTTPServer(mod_proxy_ajp)-3.ConfiguretheConnectordirective). The doc is using:

```
protocol="AJP/1.3"

```

where your connector has:

```
protocol="org.apache.coyote.ajp.AjpNioProtocol"
```

I am not sure that is a problem but it was something I noticed.

Permissions for inline comment resolution
Asked by Andy McAleer:

Comrades,

Can I set permissions so only admins can resolve or delete inline comments? Specifically...

**Restricting resolves**. Is it possible to control the Resolve link/button that's displayed in inline comments by either:

* Displaying it only for admins?
* Preventing any action when it's clicked by non-admin users?
* Doing some other wizardry?

**Restricting deletes.**I see the Delete comments permission, which I assume covers inline comments as well as the page-level comments at the bottom of a page. Am I right?


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello Andy!  
Thanks for asking here with the community!  
Currently, in-line comments do not have restrictions to them. The viewing restriction has been filed as a Feature Request but was not implemented:  

[CONFSERVER-40874](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-40874)  

Currently, inline comments do not have settings pointing to restrictions and user permissions. They work great for open communication and collaboration between your users everywhere.  
There is a third-party add-on that does have a similiar behaviour and also have permissions:  

[Talk - Advanced inline comments](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/978531/talk-advanced-inline-comments?hosting=server&tab=overview&_ga=2.17049660.402272869.1534771693-539280650.1531161958)  

Let us know if this helps your case!

comments: author: Andy McAleer
body: Thank you for confirming, [@Diego](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1188952). This is very helpful.

I like the 'keep things open' message. Long term, that's always for the best.

It was just an idea on a current project of mine to impose restrictions of this type (on inline comments) but it wasn't a formal, mandatory requirement - just an idea - and my users will be fine without that feature. So I'm good. If I really need it in the future, there's always that third-party solution you mention.

Thanks again.
