Updating Multiple Pages in One Action
Asked by Ben Mottram:

Hi,  

I was just wondering whether or not it there is any way that an update can be applied to multiple articles in one action?  

The reason for this is that we want our articles to show the date they were last reviewed (once a month) but would be keen to avoid having to manually input the date on every one if possible?  

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!  

Thanks,  
Ben

Welcome to Atlassian Community! It's nice to have you join us.

Unfortunately, it's not possible to bulk update pages in Confluence. Something like this is [covered by a Marketplace app](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?hosting=cloud&product=confluence&query=versions), such as Scroll documents. This and others are most likely paid apps.

In Confluence free, you might be able to get around it using the [Include page macro](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-include-page-macro/) or [Excerpt include,](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-excerpt-include-macro/) which allows you to re-use another page or portion of a page.

I hope that helps, but let us know if you have any questions.

Take care,

Shannon

Help Needed with Creating Tabs on a Page in Confluence
Asked by Eric Binning:

Hello,

I've created a Confluence page with tabs using the Localtab Group macro, but the information that I am putting into each Localtab macro box (i.e. each tab) appears BOTH in the tabs and all on the landing view when you arrive at the page (below the horizontal tab list).

How can I fix this so that when you open the page it only shows the landing view information with the list of tabs without showing all of the information located within the tabs (until you click on each tab)?

Thx!

Confluence as Online Help for Applikation
Asked by J?rgen Jan?en:

Hi all,

Is it possible that I create online help with Confluece and access it with individual software?

Best regards,  
Juergen


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@J?rgen Jan?en](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4533468)

You can do this one of three ways.

1. Make a public space so anyone can see the help documents. The user would need to be directed to the space and then would have to search it on their own to find answers or you could direct them to specific content.
2. Setup a Confluence knowledge base and connect it to a Jira Service Management service desk. This would require authentication before users could search documents. They would also be able to submit support questions to get help if they are unable to find the answer themselves.
3. Use the API to pull content into your own application. Maintain the documents in Confluence but display them in your application using the API.

I would suggest one of the first two options as it will be easy to maintain and support.

comments: author: J?rgen Jan?en
body: [@Brant Schroeder](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/769100)   

Thank you for your suggestions.

to 1: A public open space does not meet our security requirements, since sensitive information must be made available to aviation.

to 2:  
We have linked a COnfluence knowledge base with Jira Service Management. But here, too, we have the problem that everyone who should have access (Customer) to it needs a license. If I make the knowledge database public again, then I have the problem with 1.

to 3: This is probably the solution for connecting online help with Confluence to our web application.

Where can I find documentation for the API connection?

How about 3 with the licensing of Confluence?

Thanks for your support

How to install a backup server for the primary in case the primary fails to have a backup already
Asked by Operations Supervisor Jira 2:

Hi,

We are installing a backup server to have Confluence ready in case the primary server fails, but during the installation a license ir required. What would be the suitable way to do this installation?

You can get a developer license and use it for the install. Atlassian allows you to have developer (non-production) servers. You could set up this instance using the developer license as a standby but would need to update the license if you actually began using the instance. You can get developer licenses on any product by going to the license page and clicking the developer license link.

How to get Content ID in a View (.hbs file), or how does getContext() returns it?
Asked by Hauke H?rhold:

I am building a Confluence Cloud App with Connect. I want to get the Page ID (Content ID) of the page, where the Macro is put on. I'm working in the View-Folder of my Connect-App in a .hbs-file.

I can get the ID by using getContext(), but I can't put it in a variable for later usage, because of the scope.

Like this I can see the ID in the console:

```
AP.context.getContext(function(response) {
    console.log = response.confluence.content.id;
});
```

But what I really need would be something like this (which doesn't work):

```
var pageID;
AP.context.getContext(function(response) {
    pageID = response.confluence.content.id;
});
console.log(pageID);
```

I need to somehow return the ID via the callback function? How can I do it?

Or is there a simpler way? I could only find this resource: <https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/jsapi/context/>

How do you configure a confiform webservice field or lookup from ws
Asked by Joe R:

I've been going round in circles trying to get this set up and can only find half answers or similar but not quite right answers about making it work.   

My basic aim is to have a form that has a text input field that when a number is entered into it will lookup and populate other fields from an api/web service. I've built hundreds of confiforms but can't seem to get the configuration right to return anything at all. Is there a good example of a webservice lookup form with the correct configuration anywhere or has anyone got any tips on getting in configured correctly?


Answers:

Have a nice overview of active spaces based on their categories
Asked by Patrick Vanhoof:

Hi,

We have about 400 active spaces in Confluence, and are now in the process of categorising these spaces.

The next planned step is to make a visual overview of all spaces based on their categories. E.g. a diagram based on the categories, and when clicking on a category a list of all spaces with that category is shown.

The spaces list macro is not sufficient as users can switch the selected category. So I was thinking of creating a user macro for this, but am not sure how to start.

Anyone has made something to help users navigate through all spaces to quickly find the space they need?

Thanks,

Patrick


Answers:
author: Samie Kaufman - Your Gal at Gliffy
body: Hi Patrick!

I think there are several diagram apps on the marketplace that can facilitate this for you to some extent.

My company's app, Gliffy Diagrams for Confluence, allows you to create diagrams with links to other pages within Confluence (or external pages) that would make it possible for you to create a more visual page/space tree.

You specifically talked about being able to click on a category and have the diagram show all the spaces listed in that category. I think this would be a feature unique to Gliffy! This type of interaction could be created with our [dynamic layers feature](https://help.gliffy.com/confluence/Content/GliffyCommon/Dynamic-layers.htm) --- but you would have to manually update the list as more spaces are added.

Let me know if this sounds like something you'd want to use. I didn't want to get too detailed without knowing if this sounds like the right solution to you! You can check out our marketplace page [here](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/254/gliffy-diagrams-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=cloud).

comments: author: Patrick Vanhoof
body: Hi Samie,

Thanks!

But we are using draw.io for diagramming. I'll have a look if it also supports dynamic layers. Thanks again.

Best regards,

Patrick


author: Samie Kaufman - Your Gal at Gliffy
body: Of course! You should be able to accomplish something similar or close to your vision with draw.io --- maybe just a little less interactive.

Password Reset Issues

Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: This error tells us you have a misconfigured connection from Confluence to your LDAP directory (which holds all the user accounts).

Although it is configured properly to read and update users and groups, password changes must be done over a secured connection. Error 53 is "connection not secure enough to allow this change".

You have not mentioned whether you are using Confluence Server or Cloud ? Seems like your confluence instance is LDAP managed, so you should be able to login with your system credentials and the password reset won't work. In that case you should reach out to your Confluence Administrators for further help.

comments: author: Stanley Carnall
body: Hi there,

Thanks for getting back to me. Yep, I didn't know how to answer that question so I put 'don't know' which is still unfortunately the answer. How does one tell?

Which system credentials should I be able to log in with? I have previously been given a username and password that is specific to Confluence...


author: Kishan Sharma
body: If your confluence URL contains \*.atlassian.net or \*.jira.com then it is Cloud.

Can you confirm the URL ? You should probably reach out to the team who has provided the username/password to you earlier, they will be able to help reset the password for you.

Butler Move Rules aren't firing
Asked by Bryan Raptor:

Hello. I have a Business Class account, and numerous lists within a board. Each card has 10 checklists on it.

My idea is that when a particular checklist is marked as done, the card gets moved to the next list so the next team member can begin their work. However, none of the move rules are firing. Other types of rules are, so Butler itself is working on the board.

Here's an example rule. I have a checklist titled "Create First Draft" in a list "Draft". I want it to move to list "Editing" when the checklist is complete.

```
when checklist "Create First Draft" is completed in a card in list "Draft", move the card to the bottom of list "Editing" 
```

This will not fire. The rule is Enabled on this board. Is there some issue with multiple checklists on a card not working with Butler? Is the name of the checklist not the one I write in the text box? I feel like I'm missing something simple but I can't seem to figure out what it is so any help would be greatly appreciated. Here's a screenshot of the checklist in the example.

![trello checklist screenshot.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/80376i7FB54A70C444C419/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "trello checklist screenshot.png")


Answers:
author: Ludo
body: Hi

First, when you have an issue with butler, check usage log (from butler panel, select account)

Then, probably your rule is not triggered because of some conditions are not respected.

For example, if checklist is completed before you add the card in the list Draft, you must use this command :

```
when a card with completed checklist "Create first Draft" is added in the list Draft, move the card to the list Editing.
```

Or, maybe you can remove some optional conditions, like listname in the trigger.

Note: if you use static names in a rule, you must duplicate the rule for each list.

While if you use appropriate checklist et listnames and integrate variables in butler, you can cover all lists with an unique rule

For example

If the name of completed checklist corresponds to the name of the next list.

You can use a rule like this

```
when checklist "{*}" is completed in a card, move the card to the top of list "{wildcard1}"
```

<https://help.trello.com/article/1156-pattern-matching-and-wildcards>

comments: author: Bryan Raptor
body: Thanks Ludo. I'll try renaming the checklists to the name of the next list. Hopefully that'll work. I have renamed the checklists a few times now (and then deleted/created new rules to correspond to the new names) but it seems simpler with wildcards once it's working.

I did check the logs to see if I could find anything - I have some other rules that show up as being executed but none of the checklist completed ones are firing. I have another rule that assigns a member when the card gets moved to the "Editing" list, and that is executed flawlessly. The card is initially put into the list "Draft" by me manually, with no checklist items completed so it seems like all the conditions are being met.
