comments: author: Mark Douglas
body: Thanks for your quick reply. What happens with the page restrictions? Users will be different in the target Confluence. Thanks in advance


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: The restrictions will come across, but there's no way Confluence can know you've changed the users underneath it. So the restrictions won't actually work.

New to Confluence, JIRA and Agile - Need help
Asked by Atlassean Newbie:

I saw the below URL and this what exactly I would like to do in my project.

Can someone point me to an example or video or tutorial on how I can do this?

<http://blogs.atlassian.com/2013/12/confluence-5-4-jira-integrates-confluence-like-never-before/>


Answers:
author: Norman Abramovitz
body: Ok, I will assume you can find the documentation for each of the items above. The best way to understand the integration is to actually do it yourself. You have the best understanding of your needs.

There is a video you can look on the integration of confluence and jira page. I am not sure it is for the latest version but it does show some of the items on your list.

[](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/ds/Integrating+JIRA+and+Confluence)<https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/ds/Integrating+JIRA+and+Confluence>

Atlassian also offers classes you can take.

[](https://www.atlassian.com/software/university/overview)<https://www.atlassian.com/software/university/overview>

If you can make it to one of their roadshows, they are offering a mini class jira and confluence integration.

[](https://www.atlassian.com/roadtrip)<https://www.atlassian.com/roadtrip>


author: Atlassean Newbie
body: Norman,

Thank you so much for the response.

I am using on-demand version. I am aware that I have all these tools part of on-demand version.

I would like to understand how to use all these tools together for the following:

1. Plan a project.

2. Discovery of a project.

3. Minutes.

4. Create product requirements.

5. Create Epics and User Stories.

6. Create JIRA issues.

7. Create sprints.

8. Complete sprints.

9. Backlog.

10. Report in Confluence.

11. Retrospect in Confluence.

I understand that it is possible to do these using Confluence and JIRA based on the documentation from Atlassian. I need an example on how I connect all these dots.

Thanks.


author: Norman Abramovitz
body: Everything in this article is the default behavior . You did not state if you are using the download versions or ondemand. The directions on what to do is in the article (ie create application links) for the download version is.

In general

Install Jira  
Install Confluence  
Install Jira-Agile  
Create projects  
Create Application Links  
Use Jira-Agile for your projects  
Create Users

For the on-demand version

pay for Jira  
pay for Confluence  
pay for Jira-agile  
I believe the application links are created automatically but I could be wrong here.  
Create Projects  
Create Users.

It is really that simple if and only if you use the default behaviors.

User List macro doesn't display subgroups
Asked by Rumceisz:

Hi All,

the built-in User list macro does not result the subgroups. Do you have an extension which resolve this problem?

<br />

Thanks,

Rumi


Answers:
author: Rodrigo Girardi Adami
body: Hi Rumceisz,

It seems this is not possible at the moment as you said. I could find a improvement request for showing nested groups which seems similar to the functionality you'd like here: [](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-30285)<https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-30285>

I recommend to vote, watch and ask other users to vote on it as well in order to increase the chances of being implemented in a newer version of confluence.

For more details on improvement requests and bug for this macro, you can check[here](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF/component/12404/?selectedTab=com.atlassian.jira.jira-projects-plugin:component-summary-panel). Unfortunately I couldn't find an workaround in my search. I believe the best is to wait for the new feature to be implemented.

Cheers,

Rodrigo

Keystore-file with HTTPS with IP-address and port
Asked by Karsten Hilgers:

This question is in advance to [](/questions/287422/confluence-not-opening-port-8443)<https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/287422/confluence-not-opening-port-8443>.

I access my Confluence instance via browser over IP and port. E.g. [](http://123.12.123.12:8090.)<http://123.12.123.12:8090>. Now I want to access my Confluence via HTTPS at [](https://123.12.123.12:8443.)<https://123.12.123.12:8443>.

My question is what do I have to set for CN in the keystore-file? Do I have to include the port like CN="123.12.123.12:8443" or not like CN="123.12.123.12".

Thanks BKS


Answers:
author: Tiago Comasseto
body: Hi Boris, the certificate itself is not port aware. You should include just the hostname when asked to fill the CN information.

Page Not Found after login
Asked by Menso Heus:

When we log in we get the error "The requested URL //index.action was not found on this server." This seems be because when you going to the wiki you are forwarded to "..../"login.action?os_destination=%252Findex.action"

There is a support ticket on the subject of which the solution doesn't work. The web.xml already has the entry "\<welcome-file\>index.action\</welcome-file\>".  
(<https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONFKB/Page+Not+Found+After+Log+In+to+Confluence+because+of+Missing+index.action+Line+in+web.xml>)

So how do I change this? Is there anywhere else I can change the initial destination and remove the %252F part?

Thanks!


Answers:
author: salehparsa
body: Hi Roelof,

I believe that **"%252F"** is double encoded of **"/"** and **"%2F"** is single encoded of **"/"**. The last segment of the URL has an additional slash which does not exist:

```
os_destination=%252Findex.action
```

Usually this issue occurs when Confluence sits behind an Apache httpd server. There is a [bug report](https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=39746) regarding the additional slash in **apache**web site as wll.

I would like to recommend you to take a look at our [KB](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONFKB/Confluence+URLs+Do+Not+Render+Due+to+Apache+URI+Escaping) for the **resolution** of this problem.

Let me know if you have any other question.

Cheers,

Saleh


author: Menso Heus
body: Yes! Adding NE (no URI escaping) to the RewriteRule fixed the problem!

Thanks!

author: Krystian Mularczyk
body: Is there any solution for Tomcat?


author: Menso Heus
body: I would almost say: Well, duh. But I checked it anyway and no, there is no extra character there.

What I did notice, is that it is not the only line in the 'welcome' section. The section in full is

\<welcome-file-list\>  
\<welcome-file\>default.jsp\</welcome-file\>  
\<welcome-file\>index.action\</welcome-file\>  
\</welcome-file-list\>


author: Andris Grinbergs
body: Check if you don't have invisible character in front of index.action. Try moving cursor with arrow keys, if it takes 2 clicks to move, then you have it and you should delete it.

How to make sure users follow Confluence blueprint or template?
Asked by Tim Yeung:

I defined some template / blueprint in Confluence for users to use.

But I see 2 problems currently:

(1) After a user created a page from a template, he / she is able to edit the page so that it does not look like the template anymore. Are there any ways to block users from editing the "template stuff" on the page?

(2) If the template is updated, pages created from it are not updated with the changes. Are there any ways to bulk update the pages created from the template?

Basically my objective is to keep every pages created from a template look consistent.

Are there any solutions to the problems above or it is a known issue?

Thank you in advance!


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: It's by design really. A template/blueprint really is what the dictionary says - a starting point, from which you can do what you want, including binning the whole lot.

Confluence has no way of knowing what parts of a page came from a template, and it's pretty irrelevant anyway. The idea is that the \*body\* of the page belongs to the editor and they can do what they want with it. The shape of the \*space\* is where you should be doing standardisation. It's just useful to have a template to help them get started, and guide them, not restrict them in any way.


author: LUC FILION
body: Hello Tim,

Obviously everobody can do a CTRL-A /Delete after a new page is created and start over. Also, it would also a dangerous operation to rescan et update created documents, after a template change.

The only way to do what you want is to have a review process of the documents before they are delivered. This is a small addition to your design process that would ensure that documents are per company's standard.

Besides, I draw your attention to the Gaia for JIRA plugin, which is an extension to Confluence as well that allows you to create Confluence spaces based on a complete "template space", or from a predefined set of pages/templates. This might be a more convincing way to make sure that your follow the right track.

Good luck!

How to automatically display attachments in the page
Asked by poornima guddettu:

Hi,

I am working on confluence and have attachments in my pages .

I can display the attachments in the page on the page itself through **edit-\>Insert macro -\>attachments.**

But I would like this to be displayed by default as i cant configure for each page in the space.

IS there any way to do that.

Please help.

Thanks,

Poornima.G


Answers:
author: Fabio Racobaldo _Herzum_
body: Hi poornima,

you could create a simple page template that includes Attachment macro within. All pages created will include all attachment (if exist).

Here the documentation for a page template [](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Adding+a+Template)<https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Adding+a+Template>

Hope this helps,

Fabio

comments: author: poornima guddettu
body: Hi Fabio,

This is very helpful for the pages that are created from now on.

But I already have many projects that have attachments that are created with other templates.Is there a way to make them include the macro or somehow display the attachments in the same page?

Information about Share Page Plugins new versions
Asked by Manuel Kummerl?nder:

Hi,

one of our customers has some trouble with the bundled Share Page Plugin (2.3.2.1) of Confluence 5.3.4. We found, that the error is fixed in version 3.1.5, which is bundled in Confluence 5.4.x. Unfortunately version 3.1.5 seems to have some other (for our customer more critical) bugs, so we decided to downgrade the plugin back to 2.3.2.1.

Since the last version of Share Page in the Marketplace is 2.3.1 it seems that Atlassian doesn't upload new versions anymore, right? Is there a way to find some informations about the newer/last versions? Especially I would like to know what is a bug and what a feature. E.g. in Share Page 3.1.5 there is no notification for users pages are shared with. Bug or feature? Are there some Release Notes or something like that?

Thanks and kind regards,  
Manuel


Answers:
author: Guilherme Nedel [Atlassian]
body: Hello Manuel,

You can view the registered bugs and features for the Share Page functionality, by filtering the search in our bugtracker ([jira.atlassian.com](http://jira.atlassian.com)) by its component (Share Pages), you can access such query after [this link](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF/component/22490/?selectedTab=com.atlassian.jira.jira-projects-plugin:component-issues-panel).

How to add a footer to new theme
Asked by Karie Kelly:

The new theme now requires admins to know HTML. We've had to migrate our spaces to the new theme due to critical bugs in the doc theme. But, I am an admin - not a developer - and unfortunately do not have the skills or know what to google to now modify the headers and footers of the pages since everything is now HTML.

I need to add a yellow banner with our confidential and proprietary statement to the footer of all of our confluence pages. Can anyone provide direction as to how I modify the site main or page layout to add this? Does anything know of a some good websites for doing/learning basic HTML?

Thanks!


Answers:
author: Giuliano C.
body: Hey Karie,

For editing the footer content of your Confluence instance, you should go to the **Confluence Admin \> Look\&Feel \> HTML**which will provide you the options to edit or the head, the body or the footer. However, to insert content inside the footer, you might been interested to take a look at the following article, that specifies where are the files that you need ot take a look:

[How to Edit the Footer in Confluence](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONFKB/How+to+Edit+the+Footer+in+Confluence)

Also, for good weebsites about the basic HTML, I was doing a research and here's what I could find:

[Basic HTML Introduction](http://www.htmlgoodies.com/primers/html/article.php/3478141)

[HTML Beginner Tutorial](http://www.htmldog.com/guides/html/beginner/)

Hope these information help you, Karie. :)

Confluence Calendars: if using IE and user enlarges font, edit/details dialog doesn't display when clicking on existing calendar entry
Asked by Thomas Ehardt:

Tested font enlarge at 125%

Naturally, this does NOT happen in Chrome or Firefox

To reproduce this:

1. use IE
2. open a calendar
3. ensure font it set to 125% size
4. click on an existing calendar entry in the calendar view
5. no details dialog appears (should have description and links for edit/details)

Changing the font size back to 100% resolves the issue


Answers:
author: Mallmann
body: Hey Thomas,

Thank you for reporting this behaviour. However, I was not able to reproduce it using Confluence 5.5.2, Internet Explorer 11 and Team Calendars 4.3.13.

Could you please let me know which Confluence, IE and TC versions you're using? Also, please make sure you do not have any customisations on your Confluence, since it may impact on the browser rendering.

Best regards,

Are there any limits to the use of tagging on confluence pages or attachments?
Asked by Graham Meaden:

We are in the process of determining our knowledge management approach.

We are using tagging extensively on content (content=pages and attachments). Principly, because we can establish many-to-many relationships between content easily. In somecases an item may have 10 tags even more. We do this to drive dynamic page content through "Content By Label" macros and to remove content redundancy.

If we have hundreds (or even several thousands) of pages in a space and each page is tagged 10 or even 20 times, how will the system perform?

Does anyone have any experince of when use of tagging starts to degrade or how one might avoid perfomance degradation?

What did the developers intend to be the limits of tagging usage when the product was designed?


Answers:
author: Davin Studer
body: Confluence is designed to handle that kind of data. We have thousands of pages in multiple spaces that are also labeled multiple times and have seem no impact.


author: Graham Meaden
body: Ok I understand the design limit. I was looking for answers and experience from other users also.


author: Davin Studer
body: There is a limit to how many labels a page can have. It currently set to 500. I'm not sure what the limit for attachments is, but it is probably the same. As for performance you should not have any issues.

comments: author: Davin Studer
body: Did this answer your question?


author: Oficina Calidad y Mejora Continua
body: Hello, do you know if we can increase limit labels in a page?. Now is set to 500 as you say.
