Wrap Page Title Text in Search Pane?
Asked by erik.unangst:

Some of our pages have really long titles and the search pane cuts them off. I can see the full title if I hover over the result with my mouse, but it would be nice if there was an option to wrap the text of the page title within the search pane. Is this possible?

Thanks!

body: Hello Erik,

Thank you for raising this with us. It's not possible to change the behavior of that text.

Is this the pop-up from search, or by going to dosearchsite.action? If I go to MyConfluenceURL.com/dosearchsite.action, I'm able to see the full page titles of my search. Can you tell me if the same happens for you there?

Regards,

Shannon

comments: author: erik.unangst
body: Hi Shannon,

The advanced search that you suggested works well. I can see the whole title on the advanced search page, but it would be nice not to have to perform an advanced search just to see the full title of the page. I really wish we could change the pop up to be either wider or for the titles to wrap.

Regards,

Erik


author: Shannon S
body: Hello Erik,

In that case, you would need to customize Confluence using Javascript or other modifications. For example:

* [How to Use Javascript in Confluence](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-use-javascript-in-confluence-313458839.html)
* [Customizing Site and Space Layouts](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/customizing-site-and-space-layouts-149374.html)

Unfortunately, I won't be able to tell you exactly what you need to do in order to make the desired change. You can test this out on an Evaluation instance first if you don't want to change your production instance.

Let me know if you have any questions about that.

Regards,

Shannon

Adding Confluence users job title via Active Directory
Asked by Michael Sefain:

Hi all,

Your help pls.

We're able to tag Confluence users by tagging their name preceded by '@' e.g. [@Smith](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/157419) to then display "John Smith" for example.

However is there a way to also populate that users job title e.g. [@Smith](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/157419) = John Smith, Office Manager? Is this possible and does Confluence need to be linked to Active Directory or are there different solutions, maybe an Addon?

Thanks in advance!

Finding a variable in a confluence template
Asked by Robin Raben:

We have very complex and long templates for our work instructions created on Confluence. I am looking for where a certain variable is used within the template, when I edit the template and search for the variable by name, nothing is found. How can I do a search for a variable in a confluence template?


Answers:
author: Dominic Lagger
body: Hi [@Robin Raben](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3460909)

In the edit mode, a variable is an image. This means, you can not search for this string.

I found a way to search the template, but you need a little bit HTML skills.

* Use a browser which have "developer tools" (Chrome is perfect for this)
* Open the template in edit mode
* click F12 to open the dev modes. Alternatively you can open the dev tools from the menu
* search the variable as shwon in the printscreen.

![confluence_search_variable.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/71678i91A2C07DA65539DA/image-dimensions/788x282?v=v2 "confluence_search_variable.png")

This should find several positions. Search till you find your variable.

Can you combine blog posts to appear chronologically, on one page, as a Wordpress would?
Asked by Cassandra Medley:

I have over 100 blogs, all 'children' blogs under a main page.

Each blog was created using the blog macro.

Each blog now shows as an individual link on the left hand side of my space home page.

(1) Is there a way to have them all show up in one page, in full content, one after another, as if you were viewing a WordPress Blog?

(2), I need to have an overview page, similar to your JIRA issues blog page example. I was able to create a page and use the 'create by label' macro, which gives the title of each blog, but I need more details appear, like all of the items that were included in the macro template that shows the date of the original creation, the key words in that specific blog, etc.

And (3), is it possible to have this overview page with the option of a search function so our CEO can research past blogs, perhaps by filling in key words he is looking for?


Answers:
author: Henning van Ackeren
body: Hi,

for 1) I guess you're looking for this macro to aggregate all post on one page:

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/blog-posts-macro-139470.html>

for 3) you could put this macro on the top of the page above:

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/page-tree-search-macro-163938353.html>

comments: author: Cassandra Medley
body: Thank you for the response. That is actually the macro I've been attempting to use, so I know it must be my my settings or how I've configured the page. It won't recognize any blogs to pull.

I have a page I created, and added the macro. Under this page are child pages, and each one contains a blog that has been written. When the blogs were written, we used the marketing blog macro to do so. Any idea what I could be doing wrong?


author: Henning van Ackeren
body: To me it sounds, your blog posts are not really blog posts, but technically normal pages. That would explain why the blog post macro does not find any posts.

Real (technically) blog posts don't appear below normal pages

But then, you may be using Confluence Cloud, and I'm not familiar with that, and also not with the Marketing Blog Template.

"File Name*" drop down list when attempting to import word doc is blank?
Asked by Sean Thornton:

### Confluence 6.4.3 {#toc-hId-1111371344}

The word document is attached (using the attachment macro to verify) to the confluence page.

Marco works on other Confluence pages.  

Are there restrictions on the Word doc such as page size (8x11 vs 8x14), file name, etc.?


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello there, [@Sean Thornton](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3622936) . Hey, great to have you join our community. I hope you like it here!

So, let me start by saying that ++*we do not have limitations for the type of Word file*++ that can be attached and used within your instance. Moving on, I can tell you that ++*this issue has been documented for the Excel Macro*++. However, since this is pretty similar we can give a shot at the workaround that is present there:
> * ++**[\[Confluence Server\] View Excel Macro Will Not Load Attached Files](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/view-excel-macro-will-not-load-attached-files-779166031.html)**++

Also, since you said that this issue is ++*present on one specific page*++, we can try to copy the page somewhere and check if the issue is still present. Here is how:
> 1. *Copy all information from the page*
> 2. *Delete the page and create a new one*
> 3. *Past the information into the new page*
>
> ***Note**:*
>
> *This method will only copy text and require rebuilding any macro configurations, and formatting*

++*I encourage you to take a look at the documentation linked above*++. This can lead to a better understanding of the issue itself.

Hopefully, this reply serves as some guidance for you, Sean!
Using Table Filter macro. Is there a way to show Total Row at the top instead of at bottom of table?
Asked by Pankaj Sharma:

The total row, which is the sum of all list/row items in the table is by default displayed at the bottom of the table. Is there a way to pull this "Total" row at the top, just below the header? I am using the table for Resource planning resource names are in columns and the list of rows are tasks, but I also have PTO and Available Hours as rows below the header. I would like to get the Total Rows up on the top along with PTO and Available hours rows so I can see them all in one place to see the hours planned, spent and PTO.


Answers:
author: Natalie Paramonova [Stiltsoft]
body: Hi [@Pankaj Sharma](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3530369) ,

There is no option to display the total row at the top of a table. I've added your vote for this feature in our backlog.

Regarding adding total rows for the main tasks, you can try the [Pivot Table](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/TableFilter/How+to+use+Pivot+table+macro) or [Table Transformer](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/TableFilter/How+to+use+Table+Transformer+macro) macros. You can [submit a request](https://stiltsoft.customercase.com/forums/support-requests/ideas/create?category=Table%20Filter%20and%20Charts%20for%20Confluence) at our Support Portal and give us an example of your source table. We'll help you find the solution.

comments: author: Pankaj Sharma
body: [@Natalie Paramonova \[Stiltsoft\]](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1779341) I sent the email to you with the source table and have opened a ticket as suggested. Thanks.


author: Dominic Lagger
body: Hi [@Pankaj Sharma](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3530369)

I tested a bit and have to say, I didn't find this option to set the "Total" at the top of a table.

The macro doesn't have this feature. I think what you could do is to ask the vendor with a [support ticket](https://stiltsoft.customercase.com/forums/support-requests/ideas/create?category=Table%20Filter%20and%20Charts%20for%20Confluence).

I've added the macro in the tags, so the developer of the plugin will read this.

Hope this helps,

Dominic

comments: author: Pankaj Sharma
body: [@Dominic Lagger](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/601600) Thanks. Also, if you can add one more request. Can the "Totals" be displayed at row level. E.g. I have a row with main task and underneath that there are child tasks as multiple rows and again a main task and multiple child tasks. Can each main Task row display the Total roll-up of child-tasks? Basically an option to have totals at row level with selected rows roll-up.


author: Dominic Lagger
body: Hi [@Pankaj Sharma](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3530369)

As I said, if you want to contact with the vendor, feel free to write them [here](https://stiltsoft.customercase.com/forums/support-requests/ideas/create?category=Table%20Filter%20and%20Charts%20for%20Confluence).

I don't add any requests. This was just my suggestion for you.

how to set default category in space list macro
Asked by Stacy Ajouri:

The space list macro provides a list of spaces however the category value changes apparently to whatever was last used.

I need to set the value for the category list to a default value whenever the page is refreshed.

Tried the following but it had no effect.

```
<div>	<script>		let teamOptions = document.getElementsByName("spacesSelectedTeam")[0].options;		for (let i = 0; i < teamOptions.length; i++) {			if (teamOptions[i].value == "ttgkb") {				// Item is found, set its property and exit				//teamOptions[i].selected = true;				break;			}		}	</script></div>?
```


Answers:
author: Dominic Lagger
body: Hi [@Stacy Ajouri](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1129129)

Your approach is not very bad at first sight. But I have some questions.

* Where did you add your code?
* Would a user macro be acceptable?

Perhaps my little input helps you already to figure something out.

When I change the category it reloads the whole page with a new URL:

```
conflueceURL/page/viewpage.action?spaceKey=KEY&title=Space+Category&spacesSelectedTab=category&spacesSelectedTeam=ttgkb
```

With this URL, you will always get to the page where the team "ttgkb" is selected.

Hope it helps, Regards,

Dominic

comments: author: Stacy Ajouri
body: Hi, I just added it inside the page.

A user macro may be possible.

The URL is okay but the user may go directory to the page from another path.


author: Dominic Lagger
body: Hi [@Stacy Ajouri](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1129129)

I think I know why the Javascript directly in the page did'nt work, because the space category macro wasn't loaded at this time.

I added it in end of the body in the "Custom HTML" section in the administration console. There it worked, but not very user friendly...   
When you go to the page, it sets the category as excpected --\> ttgkb. But because a manual change of the dropdown reloads the page, the script is executed again and the category ttgkb is selected again... That means you would never be able to change the category.

The user macro didn't work out for me either. Because in the settings you cannot change the default dropdown value.

The only really dirty way I can think off would be:

* Reload the page by javascript with the URL i gave to you
* That would mean, when a person comes to this page, it would reload automatically and the right space category is set.
* [Redirect with Javascript](https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_js_redirect_webpage.asp)

Regards, Dominic
