Enable XSS protection in HTML or HTML include Macro
Asked by Umang:

Hello,

We would like to use the HTML or HTML include macro for our confluence instance

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf74/html-macro-1003128855.html>

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf74/html-include-macro-1003128854.html>

Both of these macro pose the risk of XSS vulnerability. We are using version 7.4.1 . Is there a way to use these macros and avoid the risk of XSS. I read some older articles about disabling JS. Is this available in Server version 7.4.1 ?

Our use case is to be able to include Google Docs in the confluence. So if there is a suggestion for another macro or FREE solution to achieve inclusion of Google Docs without the use of HTML macro / risk of XSS, would be open to that suggestion as well.

body: Hi [@Umang](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4219503)

Both macros can make your environment vulnerable, even on the latest version of Confluence.

If security is must on your environment, it would be better to rely on a Supported App available on Atlassian Marketplace.

There are at least 3 options that may fit your use case: [https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?hosting=server\&moreFilters=vendorSupported\&product=confluence\&query=google%20drive](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?hosting=server&moreFilters=vendorSupported&product=confluence&query=google%20drive)

Kind regards,

body: Hi [@Thiago Masutti](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1209618)

Thank you for the response. So is there no way to disable Javascript or script encoding or escaping which would stop execution of Javascript when using either of the HTML macros?

Alternatively, is there a way to enable the macros for specific users only ?

Thank you for the link to the marketplace apps. However looks like they are all paid apps, which may not be an option for us right now.

Changes to Server licenses and upgrade from Starter - do I understand correctly?
Asked by Florian:

Hi,

I'm running Jira 8.2.3 and Confluence 6.15.6 Server, both on a Starter License. My understanding is that

* Before Feb 2, 2021
  * An upgrade of the user-tier to 11-25 is $2700,- for Confluence and $3500,- for Jira (as per <https://www.atlassian.com/de/licensing/confluence#server-license> and <https://www.atlassian.com/de/licensing/jira-software#server-licensing>, respectively.)
* From Feb 2, 2021
  * I can still upgrade (Starter to 11-25), prices are as above
  * Maintenance is $10,- for Starter, and $1600,-/$1300,- for 11-25 tier (<https://www.atlassian.com/licensing/future-pricing/server-pricing/pricing-tables>)
  * I can still update to later versions within a maintenance period
  * I can still renew maintenance (until Feb 2, 2024)
* Generally, when upgrading, the maintenance period is "reset" (starts all over)

My Question is: Are these assumptions correct? If not, pls correct. Thx!

In general you can get all answers directly for nice written FAQ

<https://www.atlassian.com/migration/faqs>

Where you can find
> Moving from a Starter to a full license is considered a new sale, which means that as of February 2, 2021 PT (the end of new license sales), you won't be able to upgrade your Server Starter license to a full license. After that point, upgrading will only be available by moving to either cloud or Data Center.

Hope it helps

I want to count the number of blog posts per person per month

I want to count the number of blog posts per person per month


Answers:
author: Dominic Lagger
body: Hi [@To Dong Luu](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4121578)

Since you are on cloud, the only way to count is the manual count. (On Server we could make a SQL database query)

Use this macro: [Blog Post Macro](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-blog-posts-macro/)

![image.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/125227iAE2F0B0289CFBD14/image-dimensions/543x149?v=v2 "image.png")

Then, I think, you have to count the blog posts per person in this month.

Excerpt macro
Asked by Yu Jae Hee:

When I use an excerpt macro, I want to import only part of the text, not the whole text.  
And I want to use multiple page excerpt macro in one page.

Can 'MultiExcerpt' macros solve this?

Additionally, the excerpt-include macro keeps getting errors.  
The link is broken, so I can't see the contents.  
"The page could not be found." The phrase comes out instead.

I read the instructions.  
*"Alternatively, you can type the space key followed by a colon (:) and the page name, like this:"*

But I can't write the space name every time.  
Is there any other way?

I will wait for the reply.  
Thank you.

Is there a way to bulk update user mentions (from one user to another) using Power Scripts?
Asked by Kathryn Smith:

We have a user mentioned on each page in a particular space which is used for our comala approval workflows.

We are facing an issue where an employee who was an owner on hundreds of pages has left the company and now we need to open each page and change their user mention to whoever now supports that product in our department.

Is there a way to use Power Scripts for Confluence to read all pages in a space for a particular user mention and then update it to another value?

Thanks in advance.

Answers:
author: Davin Studer
body: You could use the selectPages routing to get a list of the pages in the your space and then loop though that list for each page. The below code is from their documentation ... modified slightly to edit the page content. You will need to know what the portion of the storage format is that you want to change. You should try this out in a full copy test version of your production system before kicking it off.

```
string cql = "(type=page and Space=DEV)";number [] pages = selectPages(cql); for(number p in pages) {    %p%.content = replace(%p%.content, "", "");

If you're looking to learn yourself there's a lot of trainings made by Atlassian. <https://www.atlassian.com/university/training>  

the community is great for finding answers to specific questions you run into. However if you don't have the time, then the Partners have experience with all sized instances.

the other option would be to hire a Jira admin. One problem companies run into is getting help setting it up initially then it getting out of control. You really want to have someone that can help maintain it. Which is why you'd want an admin or hiring a consultant.

Can I save-as a desktop document directly to Confluence
Asked by Michael Perretta:

I have a document I started in Excel on my desktop. When I go to save as file I see ways to save to my desktop but I also see ability to same to my company's OneDrive and Sharepoint. Can I get something in there for Confluence?


Answers:
author: Mykenna Cepek
body: Nope, sorry.

OneDrive and Sharepoint are Microsoft products, as is Excel. So it's no surprise that they integrate with each other strongly.

Theoretically, Microsoft might be able extend Excel to use the Confluence REST API to create a new page. But there is no incentive for them to do so.

Microsoft also offers it's AppStore for add-ons to Excel, but there is nothing to integrate with Confluence. Theoretically, some entrepreneur developer could create an Excel add-on that uses the Confluence REST API to implement a "Save to new Confluence page" feature.

**Workaround**: you can copy/paste much of the content from an Excel spreadsheet into a table in Confluence. I realize it's not the same, but it's an easy workaround.

Confluence users can't see Jira roadmap (NextGen)
Asked by Matan Grady:

Hello!

I have Jira \& confluence cloud instance.

I have added a Jira Roadmap (NextGen project) on a confluence page to share with stakeholders (which don't have access to Jira).

When they go into the page, they see the roadmap is restricted.

Is it on purpose??![8-98-98.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/125034i081D9BFCB225B39E/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "8-98-98.png")


Answers:
author: Tessa Tuteleers
body: Hi [@Matan Grady](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4167033) ,

you are correct in assuming this is on purpose.   
You can share a lot of data from jira in confluence, and vice versa. Of course, you need access to the enclosed data for it to be shown, otherwise this could be a huge security leak (e.g If you know a projectkey, you could make a macro listing all the issues in a project you do not have access to).

If you want to share the documentation with the stakeholders, they should get access to the Jira project, or you could provide them with an "offline" alternative. You can find the documentation about this [here](https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/enable-the-roadmap/#Share-your-roadmap).

Hope this helps!

Internal server error on page properties report macro
Asked by Jolan_D:

Hello

Since we updated confluence server edition from 6.13.11 to 7.4.6 some pages display a system error.

The ones suffering from this all load the Page properties report macro. Not all pages using this macro display the error though.

The strange thing is, when opening the page as administrator, it does load perfectly. Other users can then visit the page temporarily as well.

What can be a cause of this and are there solutions?

Unfortunately the described workaround (create blank page, copy content and delete old page) seems not to resolve my issue, the issue remains. I guess that i need to contact support for the real solution.

As a alternative, i have created a new blank page with the report macro on it and created new tasks (copied the content) that were still open tasks on the old page(s). It is not a nice solution, but this does work for me.

Gifs are not playing (animating) on Android
Asked by Mikey_Kuplevatsky:

Using Trello from Chrome on my laptop, gifs animate (or 'play') just fine. On Android, however, gifs on Trello display as still images. Why is it that Trello can't play a gif on the Android app?

From what I remember, this is a **beta** feature. Is that correct? I'm really hoping that this will be standard functionality.

These are two completely different platforms, but I'm even able to play MP4 files on Dropbox Paper right from within a note. Now, like I said, I realize that Paper and Trello are two different platforms, but at least animated gifs would be great if it worked on the Android app.

Any feedback/tips/response is greatly appreciated! I love Trello, so I'm always hoping for improvements and to get some information.


Answers:
author: Dan Lew
body: Hey there - I work on the Trello Android team.

We rely on tools other people made to load and display images. Unfortunately, the one that we chose does not support animated GIFs. We plan to someday switch to a different tool that does support animated GIFs, but there's no timeline on when that'll happen.
