Is it possible to display a list of Stackoverflow questions in Confluence?
Asked by Valeriia Iuzhakova:

Hi!  
Is there is any integration available that allows displaying a list of Stackoverflow questions (grouped by tag) in Confluence? I want to share the references to Stackoverflow questions covering FAQ.

body: You can always use iframes on confluence.

I think that functionality is disabled by default because of security concerns.

What happened to linking a single attachment within page text?
Asked by Dan:

Probably the most common task online ever! There is text, and in that text there is a link. That link, links to a single file. Why does the "link" option not include files?

Header in Page Properties Report macro - width adjustment
Asked by STWO:

Hi..

I?m really new to Confluence and just started testing the cloud version a little bit for my department.

One thing we are planing is a knowledge base for our data we generate..like a wiki.

I set up a Properties report from some small tables we have for different subproject. But unfortunately the reports width of the columns is not adjustable. So I have unreadable headers. Is there a way to change the width![Unbenannt.JPG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/79469i5AF308E4399B5223/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Unbenannt.JPG")


Answers:
author: James Dellow
body: As you are using Cloud, there is no way to achieve this using out of the box functionality.

comments: author: STWO
body: Yes, it?s a cloud based solution. Would it be fixable in the local version? Is there a plugin you could recommend? This behavior plus the missing dictionaries for our tables would be a red flag for our wiki/knowledge base setup.

Thank you!


author: James Dellow
body: Yes, in the server edition of Confluence you have greater freedom to change the styling (CSS). No plugins required.

how to put an anchor in this new edition
Asked by Elen Baldini:

the anchor option is gone and I want to link a word


Answers:
author: Ste Wright
body: Hi [@Elen Baldini](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3710350)

I assume you mean the new editing experience which is being rolled out on Confluence Cloud?

At present there are only linkable headers available as anchors - you can read more about those on [this page](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/confluence-editing-improvements-945107733.html) under the "New and Updated Features" section.

That means the anchor macro that did exist in Classic is not currently available in the new experience - and the suggestion to bring it back has already been closed in relation to linkable headers - see [CONFCLOUD-66773](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-66773).

Rename all usernames
Asked by Brian Michelsen:

Hi,

I need to rename all usernames to email address (which are the email addresses in the internal profile) in a Confluence instance, because it should be integrated with Active Directory.

I have already done this i Jira using REST (<https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/how-to-bulk-update-users-email-addresses-in-jira-using-rest-api-948218723.html>), but I can't seem a corresponding method in Confluence.


Answers:
author: Ed Letifov _TechTime - New Zealand_
body: If you insist on going via REST - I think you need to look at Embedded Crowd REST APIs.

Not sure if these (from Crowd Server) match, but give it a try: <https://docs.atlassian.com/atlassian-crowd/3.7.0/REST/?_ga=2.106232707.1250320289.1579291042-210792933.1571735064#usermanagement/1/user-updateUser>

Honestly, you could do it easier via ScriptRunner for Confluence and a Groovy/Java script

Or look at Marketplace app Confluence CLI

Does Confluence cloud have addons for integrating gitlab issues?
Asked by Ross Haggart:

Would like to integrate gitlab issues into Confluence (cloud). Wondering if this is possible?


Answers:
author: Monica R?egg _Mibex Software_
body: Hi Ross,

We have recently released a new app called [Include GitLab for Confluence Cloud](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1226897/include-gitlab-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview). Let me know if that is something for you.

We're happy about any feedback.

Thanks,  
Monica


author: Shannon S
body: Hi Ross,

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

There appears to be no integration for Confluence, but there are a few add-ons on [Atlassian Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?hosting=cloud&product=jira&query=gitlab) which allow for integration with Gitlab and Jira Cloud.

I'm not familiar with these add-ons, but any integration you're already able to do with Jira and Confluence might work with data synced from Gitlab, so I'd recommend trying out those add-ons if you have a Jira site connected to your Confluence site.

Regards,

Shannon

Get page object within macro
Asked by Bj?rn Sauter:

Hey,

I just started developing confluence plugins. One thing I am trying for practice purposes, is displaying all labels of the page the macro is running on in a table. In order to get the labels of a page I need the page object of the page. This is where I am stuck at the moment.

I figured out how to display content on a page with a macro, however I am not able to retrieve any information about the page, the macro is running on.


Answers:
author: Sven Schatter _Lively Apps_
body: Hi Bj?rn,

the page is part of the ConversionContext:

```
public String execute(Map<String, String> parameters, String body, ConversionContext context) {
    ContentEntityObject page = context.getEntity();
}
```

However, for app development related questions you should probably check out the [Developer Community](https://community.developer.atlassian.com/) instead. ;)

Best regards,  
Sven

how do I sort the Title column in my page properties report
Asked by J?rgen J?nsson:

The page properties report does not seem to sort properly when adding 'Title' as the sort order. Why?

![PageProperties.jpg](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/79448i56C88EF8F4843591/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "PageProperties.jpg")


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello there! Organizing as our content as desired is an important part of the experience.

With the above in mind, I tried to replicate your issue but was ultimately unable to replicate it. Here is a screenshot of what I see when I order by the Title:

![Anota??o 2020-01-20 134157.jpg](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/79672i48F22D86340FC4B2/image-dimensions/437x264?v=v2 "Anota??o 2020-01-20 134157.jpg")

It works as expected when I select it to sort by using the Title column. With this in mind, I would like to ask you a few questions. Here we go:
> 1. *Is this happening with any browser?*
> 2. *Is this affecting any other user?*
> 3. *Has this worked at some point in the past?*
> 4. *Have you tried to click the button to refresh the macro preview? (F?rhandsgranska in Swedish, right at the top of the preview window of the macro)*
> 5. *Is the list out of order even after you publish the pages?*

Let us hear from you, [@J?rgen J?nsson](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3711589)! Looking forward to your reply.

comments: author: Carsten Stiller
body: I just encountered the same problem and I saw where [@J?rgen J?nsson](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3711589) problem is. The property to sort by has to be "Title" (English Name), not the localized version ("TitEL" in J?rgens case or "?berschrift" in German for me).

Maybe it helps even some months to late. ;)


author: LosD
body: [@Diego](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1188952) It would probably be a good idea to document when it doesn't make sense... Like a non-translated search property. Preferably right in the dialog.

PDF of new styled articles is cropped when adding a layout

Redirect links from one page to another
Asked by Stefanos:

I'm heavily using the linking features of Confluence and often have to merge pages.

Suppose I have

* two pages A and B
* three pages X, Y and Z
  * X links to A
  * Y links to B
  * Z links to B

When I manually merge A and B on page A and then delete B, I would like for Y and Z to link to A.

How can I achieve this without editing Y and Z manually?


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Stefan,

Hope you are having a good week so far! Happy to help answer your questions about this.

When you manually merge two pages in Confluence, you are copying the text from one page to another, correct?

The links in pages Y and Z are linking to the page B, but if you copy the text from B and paste it into A, then pages Y and Z have no way of knowing about page A. Therefore, it wouldn't be possible to automatically update those links.

This type of change would require that you manually go into the database in Confluence and correct any examples of the former page link in bodycontent to the new one. You run the risk of corrupting data when you do this, so you'll want to test it out first in a staging instance.

Another option would be to use an add-on available from Atlassian Marketplace, such a [search-and-replace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?product=confluence&query=search%20and%20replace) tool, or one that [allows scripting](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?product=confluence&query=script).

Have a look there and let us know if you have any questions about that.

Regards,

Shannon

comments: author: Stefanos
body: Thank you for your response - I will look into these add-ons.

I guess my described use case is an idea for a new add-on that specifically deals with bulk editing links.


author: Shannon S
body: Hi Stefan,

No problem! Hopefully you can find something you can use. There may even be an add-on that does that, but I think the majority of them that can do that will also do other bulk tasks using scripting, which is what that 2nd category is that I mentioned.

If you end up finding something that can help you please let us know; it'll help a lot of people!

Shannon

Confluence 7.1.0 : mailto with an automatic subject

How to make confluence documentation that is similar to atlassians documentation?
Asked by Tony:

Hello, I would like to create with confluence a nice documentation like this one:  

<https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/getting-started/>

(with navigation on the left, and "on this page"- section on the right)

Another nice option is this documentation structure:  

[https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/?utm_source=%2Fcloud%2Fjira%2Fplatform%2Frest%2F\&utm_medium=302](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/?utm_source=%2Fcloud%2Fjira%2Fplatform%2Frest%2F&utm_medium=302)  

So my question is: How to do this with confluence? Or is there any other tool that atlassian is using there?

With best regards

Tony

author: Mark D_ Stock
body: Hi Tony

Have you tried using a table. Create a table with 3 columns and one row, and place content in each cell. The only down-side is I don't think you can switch off the border display.

comments: author: Tony
body: [@Mark D_ Stock](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1529976) thanks. But how is it with the search and dynamically creating navigation? Or I should mantain every point by myself?


author: Mark D_ Stock
body: Hi Tony

You can also use the Layouts button (looks like a large pause button next to the table button at the top of the screen. This gives you a few pre-set layout designs, essentially different sized columns. This comes without borders. :-)

How do you want to dynamically create navigation? Are you talking about some sort of page tree? There is a built-in macro called Page Tree that has limited capabilities for this.


author: Mark D_ Stock
body: Hi Tony

If you are looking to create the 'On This Page' section, then simply insert a 'Table of Contents'.


author: Tony
body: Hi Mark,  

yeah thanks, this Layout-thing is very good and quite what I need. But the problem is - how to make it like an frame around the content inside, because if I make an API documentation with many pages, it would be quite anoying to copy-paste on every change the layout navigation on every page.


author: Mark D_ Stock
body: Hi Tony

I'd imagine you need to create a new Template, but I think you need Admin rights for that. You could then use your new Template each time you create a new page. I've not played with Templates, and I'm not an Admin.
