Cross reference content from one page to another within a space
Asked by Anand Rajaraman:

In Confluence Cloud, I am unable to navigate to a particular section of the content from one page to another using an anchor tag.

author: Shannon S
body: Hello Anand,

Thank you for contacting us about this. Unfortunately, this is a known issue with the new editing experience.

Per [Confluence Editing Improvements](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/confluence-editing-improvements-945107733.html):
The **anchor macro** is temporarily unavailable, but there are two workarounds for this:  
> Add a **table of contents macro** to your page, as this automatically generates anchor links for each page header.
>
> To find those links, right-click (or on mobile, long-press) any of the headers in the **table of contents**, and copy the link address.
>
> Anchors are automatically generated for each page header.
>
> To link to one, use the *[https://pageURL#headingtext.](https://pageurl/#headingtext.)*The anchor text must be formatted as it is on the page, including punctuation marks, but without spaces.
>
> For example, to link to this section, we would add *#Anchors* to the page URL, like so: [https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/ConfCloud/Confluence+Cloud+Editor+Roadmap#Anchors](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/confluence-cloud-editor-roadmap-967314556.html#ConfluenceCloudEditorRoadmap-Anchors)

The feature is coming back soon, according to our [Confluence Cloud Editor Roadmap](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/confluence-cloud-editor-roadmap-967314556.html#ConfluenceCloudEditorRoadmap-Anchors).

I hope that helps clarify why it is not currently working. Please let me know if you have any questions about that.

Shannon

Hide "Created by" label when already hid page author name and personalize timestamp prefix
Asked by Lorenzo Ianes:

Following link

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-hide-content-author-name-created-by-in-a-page-701600769.html>

I have hid the page author name but remains visible the label "Created by" so I produce the dummy results

"Created by [yesterday at 4:40 PM](https://wiki.praim.com/pages/viewpreviousversions.action?pageId=21496342)["](https://wiki.praim.com/pages/viewpreviousversions.action?pageId=14812180)

When I want omit the author name, is meaningless leave the label "Created by" visible.

Therefore it would be better hide "Created by" too when author name has been hidden.

Once I be able to hide the "created by" string, I will obtain a still unpleasant

" [yesterday at 4:40 PM](https://wiki.praim.com/pages/viewpreviousversions.action?pageId=21496342)" without any "intorductory" text.

How can I personalize a string to put before the timestamp as for instance "Last modified on" or "Last publish on"?

Thanks in advance everybody for help.

Welcome to Atlassian Community. It's nice to have you here.

A similar discussion can be found here: [How to hide the "Created By/Edited By" byline at the top of a page.](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/How-to-hide-the-quot-Created-By-Edited-By-quot-byline-at-the-top/qaq-p/382558)

There are several solutions there, including a way to hide the line completely, or to edit your site's source files and change how it appears in your page decorator.

Before making any of these changes, be sure to create a full site backup.

Let us know if you have any trouble with that.

Space defined template in Cloud
Asked by Nieves Salor Moral:

I am trying to create a space defined template for my cloud Confluence and I am facing the following issues:

* The placeholders texts are not displayed when I create a page based on the template (on edition mode)
* I cannot write anything on the page based on the template
* If I add a text variable to the template, then I can put text in it, but I can not add a decision, action, etc in that variable. And if I try to add a decision on the template, on the page based on that template I cannot write anything.

Can someone explain me what I am doing wrong?


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello [@Nieves Salor Moral](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3500883),

Thank you for contacting us about this. Just to confirm, you aren't editing an existing template that came with your Confluence instance but creating a new one by clicking on **Create New Template**. Is that correct?

I tested by adding a Placeholder text in a new blank template, and I can confirm when I create a page using the template, the Placeholder text is included. There's a current bug about the Placeholder text not being editable, which might be the bug you are running into.

* [CONFCLOUD-67333](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-67333) *Placeholder text on templates created with the new editor cannot be selected nor edited*

Regarding not being able to write anything on a page based on the template, I'm not aware of any issue with that. Could you tell me where you are trying to add text? Are you trying to modify the placeholder text on the page, or the title, for example?

Finally, with text variables, it's not possible to add macros into text variables. Only plain text can be added into the text variable. There is a bug where text variables are not prompting to be filled in when creating a page with the new template editor:

* [CONFCLOUD-65790](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-65790) *Not possible to populate variables on the new editor*

Perhaps this is the behavior you're referring to?

Shannon

Is it possible to get tables in a Confluence page to auto-populate?
Asked by Caroline:

I have a page with a table summarising ownership of projects which takes information from various pages on Confluence. Currently it has to be manually edited when there are any updates. Is there a way of setting the table up so that it auto-populates from fields on other pages?


Answers:
author: Stan Ry
body: Hi,

Have a look at [Table Excerpt and Table Excerpt Include](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TableFilter/How+to+use+Table+Excerpt+and+Table+Excerpt+Include+macros?) macros. I believe this pair of macros is what you are looking for.

comments: author: Caroline
body: Hi and thanks for your response, I will have a look at those.

Do you know if those would mean the table would automatically update if the information the table is built from changes?


author: Stan Ry
body: [@Caroline](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3571010)

Yep, I believe, that's why the are here. I haven't had any practice with these plug-ins, but I have heard some rumor here and there, and so I thouht that might come handy. Please let me know if it worked for you.


author: Caroline
body: I couldn't find those macros but when searching I came across Page Properties and Page Properties Report macros which I did manage to get to do the same thing! Thanks for your help!


author: Stan Ry
body: Hi Caroline,

Glad to hear you've found the solution. Could you please share your experience with Page Properties Report in more detail here?

AFAIK, the Page Properties Report macro builds a new table based on column names specified in another table on a specific page. In other words, it allows you to gather table cell values for specific columns, not just extract cell values from an arbitrary cell.

Can you please help to know how you are importing images?

sorry, 'importing' sounds too good; we exported the .png files from external instance and attached them in the other instance, very simply.


author: John Almeida
body: Hi Martin,

At the moment, you can only import Gliffy files (.gliffy, .gon, .gxml), Visio files (.vsdx, .vdx) \& Draw.io files (.drawio, .xml).

If you are able to export from Lucidchart to any of these file types, you will be able to import to Gliffy. Hope this helps!

Auto-Generated HTML Confluence Pages
Asked by rominoushana:

Hi Everyone,

Hopefully this question has not been asked elsewhere. I've looked around for it and was not able to find it.

Right now, I have a job which auto generates HTML and updates confluence page every day. Everything works perfectly, however I want to add the JIRA-issues-Macro

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/jira-issues-macro-139380.html>

where instead of links (anchor tags) to my Jira issues, I would have the JIRA plugin. However, I don't really understand how to do it. What would be the HTML for it? I see they have something called wiki markup

    {jiraissues:anonymous=true|url=https://jira.atlassian.com/issues/?filter=41225}

but I don't know how to use this in my HTML. Any help would be great. Thank you everyone!

How do I use a template?
Asked by nvillarreal:

I am new to confluence, and I cannot find how to use a template to track progress and items for a project.


Answers:
author: Manisha Kharga _Appfire_
body: Hi [@nvillarreal](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3570232) ,

Follow the below steps to track the progress using Template.

1. Login into your Confluence instance.

2. Create a page and add macro "create from template".

3. Inside the macro "Template name" field select value "Jira report". Update the page.

4. Click on "create from template" and select status type "Status report".

5. Enter the "JQL" and click on create.

This will publish the page with reports. Make sure your Confluence and JIRA instance is linked.

Something like,

```
curl -L? //your rest of code

Questions on PDF Export + Expand Sections
Asked by Kinchit Gauswami:

Hello all,

Looking for your quick help on Expand Section with PDF Export.

I have a bunch of expands macro inserted in the Page. Please help on the following:

1. When I export as PDF, the title of Expands Macro is not visible in the PDF file.

2. Is there a way to page break or some sort of CSS which will put each Expand on a new page in PDF.

Example:

If I have 4 Expands in my Confluence page and when I export this as PDF, each expand should be exported on a new page in the PDF itself.

Thanks,


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello [@Kinchit Gauswami](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3570256),

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

With the [Expand Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/expand-macro-223222352.html), I believe it's expected that the expand text does not show:
> **Text is expanded in PDF and HTML exports.** When you export the page to PDF or HTML, the text between the macro tags is expanded so that readers can see it in the PDF and HTML versions of the page.

There is a ticket below for this exact request, as it appears to have worked in past versions of Confluence:

* [CONFSERVER-58918](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-58918) *PDF export doesn't show 'Click here to expand' for Expand Macro*

Please vote on this request by clicking **This affects my team** and you will automatically be added to the list of watchers and receive updates on this in the future.

My recommendation would be to add the text in above the Expand Macro that you wish to see on the page (such as with a heading), and then keep the Expand text something like "Click to expand..." so that it doesn't need to appear on your PDF document.

If you wish to add page breaks in, you can do so with a [User Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/writing-user-macros-4485.html) on Confluence Server:

* [How to create a page break function in Confluence to control pagination in PDF exports](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-create-a-page-break-function-in-confluence-to-control-pagination-in-pdf-exports-735943076.html)

For Cloud, each macro would need to be on a separate page, and then the page breaks can be added using this method:

* [Customize Exports to PDF in Confluence Cloud \> Page Breaks](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/customize-exports-to-pdf-724764825.html?_ga=2.86059800.1429393855.1569238677-1756784719.1569238677#CustomizeExportstoPDF-PageBreaks)

I hope that is clear, but do let me know if you have any questions.

Regards,

Shannon
