Any other suggestions?


author: Timothy

comments: author: Timothy
body: And you can of course edit the space sty

```
.acs-side-bar .acs-side-bar-space-info .avatar{display:table-cell;padding:0 9px 0 14px;width:73px;min-width:73px;box-sizing:border-box;-moz-box-sizing:border-box;}

How to show more children in sidebar?
Asked by Marcel Plomp:

We've just installed Confluence 5.0 and we are using the Global Look and Feel for most spaces.

If a home page has a lot of children, the sidebar shows just a few for instance 4. If you want to see more children you have to expand the option "5 more children".

How can I increse the number of children to 8 (or any other number) that is shown when viewing the homepage?

The same applies for child pages with more then a few children.


Answers:
author: CharlesH
body: The following javascript (jQuery) statements will show all the children and hide the link that says "x more children":

```
AJS.$('ul.more-children').show();AJS.$('a.more-children-link').hide();
```

How you embed this in your pages is up to you. Ideally you would want this on every page, so maybe the Custom HTML option in the Confluence Admin screens would be the best option.

comments: author: Marcel Plomp
body: This was very helpfull. THX.

I've implemented the following in the Custom HTML option , at end of the body:

\<script type="text/javascript"\>  
AJS.$('ul.more-children').show();  
AJS.$('a.more-children-link').hide();  
\</script\>


author: CharlesH
body: You should really make the sure the elements you want to modify have been loaded before executing the show/hide statements. Wrapping those lines with the following code will do the trick:

```
AJS.toInit(function(){    &lt;your code here&gt;});
```

Reference: <https://developer.atlassian.com/display/CONFDEV/Confluence+UI+Guidelines>


author: CharlesH
body: One quick solution - switch to the Documentation theme. It will show all child pages by default.

comments: author: Marcel Plomp
body: I know, but using the Documentation theme is not wat we want.

Accidentally user-directory crash
Asked by Fabian Toth:

Hi,

i have accidentally deactivated the internal user directory from confluence and can't login now. Is there a possibility to undo this from the outside of the system?

Thanks


Answers:
author: Teck-En
body: It's possible to activate the directory through database providing you're unable to access using any admin account in Confluence. Here's the documentation on how to retrieve the password: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Restoring+Passwords+To+Recover+Admin+User+Rights>

As for making the internal directory active, check out the step 5 under "Put Internal Directory in First Position" section of the page which has the sql query to do so. Make sure you backup your database before any modification in database.

HTML Authoring Tool - ability to edit the raw html
Asked by Ash:

In confleunce is there the ability to view raw html and modify underlying HTML to troubleshoot?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: There is no "underlying html", the data is stored as dhtml and the html the browser gets is mostly generated at run-time.

I'd have a look at <https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.atlassian.confluence.plugins.editor.confluence-source-editor> as I think it's the closest you'll get.

comments: author: Ash
body: Thanks - that's what I'm looking for


author: Mick Davidson
body: Ash,

If you are in Edit mode, have a look in the top right corner of the editor. There should be a button with this on it: \<\>

If you click on that you can edit the HTML for that page. This button will only appear if the page has already been saved once.

Also, we're running 4.3.7 and have it installed locally.

Cheers.

comments: author: Ash
body: Thanks Mick - we're running 5.1.3 and the \<\> button wasn't appearing, however the add in has fixed this.
Can't import a backup
Asked by Sudipta Ghose:

Trying to import an export file from a local installation of Confluence to on-demand installation. Keep getting this error :

```
The following error(s) occurred:Your request could not be processed because a required security token was not present in the request. You may need to re-submit the form or reload the page.
```

Why is teh security token not present? I am the only user in the ondemand trial and have admin access.

Thanks.

Answers:
author: Mauro Badii
body: Actually it would be best to create a Support request at [support.atlassian.com](http://support.atlassian.com) since the Jira Issue tracker is strictly for bugs and feature requests.

Support can even try the import for you and solve the problem.

good vector graphics options for Confluence + Scroll PDF in Mac OS environment?
Asked by Robert Lauriston:

The lack of native import for SVG or any other vector-graphics format is really lame.

I looked at Gliffy but the text formatting is too limited for my purposes.

I've been using Google Draw but can't export PNG to a sufficiently high resolution.

This is a Mac shop, so Visio is out.

Tried InkScape, the X11 UI is a pain but if I export at 300 dpi it's OK.

Illustrator, I'd rather avoid Adobe if possible, their products keep getting buggier and harder to use.

Anything else to look at?


Answers:
author: Robert Lauriston
body: Updating this for the record: not long after I posted that, Google Draw increased the PNG output resolution, so I used that.

Export or Backup all Team Calendars at once
Asked by aaron wideen:

Hi,

I wanted to see if there is a way or a tool that can export all of the calendars in my confluence instance to individual .ics files.

The only way I can think of at this point would be to go through every calendar by hand and export each one. Obviously this is not feesable as we have over 100+ calendars in our instance.

It would be awesome to have them backed up or attached to the homepage of the space they are associated with but I would be happy to not have to export all by hand.

Thank you very much for any input on this,

Aaron


Answers:

comments: author: aaron wideen
body: A few of our managers across the organization are going out of the country for the next month and requested the files.

What is the long route? Dont mind putting in the extra leg work on this one as long as I can avoid going through every calendar by hand.

Confluence 5.1.5 Word export not recognized as Word by OpenOffice
Asked by Robert Lauriston:

I've been opening Confluence-exported Word documents in OpenOffice Writer from 4.x and 5.x for quite a while without problems. With exports from 5.1.5, OpenOffice doesn't recognize the document. It brings up an ASCII Filter Options dialog, and whatever the settings, displays raw XML. I tried OOW 3.x on Mac and Windows and 4.0 on Windows.

I'm not sure when this broke but I'm pretty sure I've used the feature successfully in the last month or two.

The problem appears to be due to Confluence adding an inappropriate email header, as shown below. I can work around the problem by deleting everything before the \<html ...\> tag. Word apparently is smart enough to ignore that stuff and open it.

Is it possible to add an image (with a link) underneath the page tree navigation on the sidebar?
Asked by kimberly anderson:

Is it possible to add an image (with a link) underneath the page tree navigation on the sidebar?

I am familiar with how to add a link to the navigation bar above the search bar but not sure how to add the image (with link) to another part of the sidebar.

![](../../upfiles/sidebar_image.png)


Answers:
author: Davin Studer
body: Well, you could certainly do with with JavaScript, but you could also edit the template.


author: kimberly anderson
body: I think there is a restriction with adding the javascript in the on demand verison. I forgot to mention that is what I am using. I think I can not also edit the template on the on demand version. It is a restricted function.


author: Matthew J. Horn
body: Yes, editing the template is the far better solution. We've done that with our site, where we stack a few macros (page tree, related content, some images, and some static links). You can see the results in the left gutter here: <http://devcenter.verivo.com/display/doc/Installing+and+Configuring+the+Akula+Server>

Table of Contents macro, issue with additional characters
Asked by reggert:

Hi there,

we are using the TOC macro in most of our confluence pages. We have dicovered it dont works if we use additional characters, such as + - : ? or the german letters ? ? ?.  
If used in the name of the site no link works, if used in an headline this one link dont works. This happens using Confluence 5.1.5 on Windows 7 PCs if using IE9 or Firefox 23.

Is there any setting that changes this?

Best regards

Joachim


Answers:
author: reggert
body: Hi Thomas,

thank you.

But as 5.3 is an beta version, and some of our plugins still not reached compatibility to 5.2.x this issue seems to stay with us for some additional time.

:-(

comments: author: Deividi Luvison
body: You could try to upgrade to version 5.2.5, I tested the TOC macro and it worked fine on FireFox with Confluence 5.2.5.

Macro hides other content
Asked by Sven K?lpin:

Hi,

I developed a macro for confluence. The macro works as expected but the problem is that as soon as I include it into a page, all other content gets invisible. When I switch back to edit mode, the other content is still there, so it does not get deleted.   
Does anyone know a solution for this problem?  

Thanks in advance.


Answers:
author: Klaus Hempen
body: I've reduced the output of the plugin to a minimum ("\<div id='foo'\>baa\</div\>").

The problem still occurs.

See also <https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/253298/no-content-shown-before-and-after-own-macro>


author: Klaus Hempen
body: The problem was, that the Mainview-Template included html-, head- and body-tag.


author: Mirek
body: Hi Sven,

Please double check if you are closing correctly all tags. If you will be sure about that then you need to check if you are not using any other macro that canoot be used inside other one. Verify also the source code after saving and check how it looks on other browsers.

I hope that will help.

Best Regards,

Mirek

Bulk edit Confluence On Demand space permissions
Asked by Michael Pineda:

Hi

Is it possible to bulk edit all existing Spaces permissions within a Confluence OnDemand account?

I have applied the required default settings for Spaces created from this point forward however would like to apply these settings to all existing Spaces.

Regards,

Michael


Answers:
author: Normand_Carbonneau
body: Here is my use case:

A few years ago, we defined the Global Permissions on Spaces that was including access by a specific security group (all our internal employees) to all our spaces by default.

Years have passed, and 250 Spaces later, we need to rename the security groups because of a company merge, but unfortunately, JIRA does not allow us to rename groups. So, we created a new group and we want to remove the old group from permissions on the existing 250 Spaces as well as adding permissions for the new group.

But once again, this is not allowed, so, we end up having to manually change the permissions on each Space individually because we are using On-Demand version.

Any suggestion?

Thanks, Normand

body: [getSpacePermissionList](https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/display/CSOAP/Example+output+with+augments#Exampleoutputwithaugments-getSpacePermissionList) shows how I manage my onDemand instance permissions and the following tip shows how they can easily be changed.

body: Hi Michael,

There's actually an existing improvement request for that, which you can find here - [CONF-1053](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-1053).

It hasn't been implemented yet though, so for now, I would recommend that you do the following on the feature request ticket :

\* Vote, so that it will receive more attention

\* Watch it, so that you will receive any and all updates

\* Comment, and give your opinion on the matter

Please note that the implementation of new features and improvement requests falls under [Atlassian's Implementation of New Features Policy](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DEV/Implementation+of+New+Features+Policy).


author: AgentSmith

body: Hi Michael,

It is not possible to bulk edit spaces but you can take a look at the [Confluence Command Line Interface](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/org.swift.confluence.cli) to do so. If you have many spaces it will be really useful.

This was mentioned on the following answer: [https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/85100/bulk-edit-confluence-space-permissions](/questions/85100/bulk-edit-confluence-space-permissions)

Hope it helps :)

comments: author: Michael Pineda
body: Hi Mauro,

Can you confirm that the Command Line Interface relates to OnDemand?


author: Mauro Badii
body: I am refereing to the CLI client that works with OnDemand.

It is written below the Features [here](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/org.swift.confluence.cli).

And to learn what the difference is between client and addon, there is a link at the bottom of that same page that link you [here](https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=34406872).

It require some work but if there are many spaces to change, it may be worth it.

Just an idea ;)

Hiding blog profile in space
Asked by Arka Bhattacharya:

Hi,

I have created a space for news in Confluence. It's using a calendar and the news is created using blogs. So a user can find old blog posts via the calendar.

The problem with the blog post in the news is that it shows the user's profile picture by default. It also shows the post title, the name of the person who created the post and the date the blog was posted in Confluence.

Anyway to remove this from our news section? We are using the blog functionality as a news page and want it to look more like a normal page.

Cheers

preserving macro text in confluence wyswig editor
Asked by Wendy Carter:

I have been trying my best with the wyswig editor No point in whinging. Nesting/outline creation remains maddening, but the thing I have the most trouble with is panels and other text display macros. My historic pages made extensive use of panels/info/sections as a means of conveying information. It was super-easy in wiki markup to format text and change my mind later.

In the new editor, you can't do this without awkward copy and paste to preserve the text and then remove the macro. I see there is no intention to fix this -- the jiras are marked as won't fix. This makes editing existing pages particularly troublesome. Is there a plan to provide a dropdown/shortcut for text display -- adding to preformatted/quoted/etc. I always thought text display formatting features fit awkwardly into the "macro" bucket and this is an area where the new editor is clearly less efficient.


Answers:
author: Wendy Carter
body: Thanks. I was aware of both these options. They are both clunky. I was really asking Atlassian whether there was any thoughts about changing the way formatting blocks of text is handled in the new editor, as macros were a useful mechanism in wiki markup but are awkward in the new editor.


author: Bob Swift (personal)
body: 1. If you mean changing from one macro to another like noformat to panel and back, you can do this via Macro browser: Select Macro (bottom, left) and select a new macro. Still pretty painful but it does save the parameters.
2. Keep as wiki using [Wiki Plugin for Confluence](https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/display/CWP)


author: Davin Studer
body: If you want a more wiki-markupish style of editing you could get the [Confluence Source Editor](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.atlassian.confluence.plugins.editor.confluence-source-editor). It's not wiki markup editing, but rather HTML ... but still you can edit markup rather than use the wysiwyg editor.
