Broken Images
Asked by Alex Morrisson:

Hi all,

I can see that there has been a few questions raised about this issue in the past but I cant seem to find the relevant help for sourcing the original or preventing it from happening again.

Is there a way to retrieve the images that were added to Confluence? What did I do incorrectly?

I added these images in Jan 2020, has there been an update, most of my pages are fine.

I have a page of Broken Images that were copy/pasted from our software.

Last is there an easy way to search all of my pages to make sure this isn't in other areas?

TIA

Alex

You can't search for pages with broken images. Perhaps, if you are on a paid plan, you could contact Atlassian's support and ask them if they were able to do so.

If you go to a page, and click on ellipsis menu and then attachments, you'll see the list of all attachments on that page. You'll even find versions of the same attachment, if you hava uploaded multiple different versions of the same attachment.

I would start working from there and even check the previous page's version to see if the image was displaying properly.

Import template
Asked by J_a_n_a S:

HI Team,

There are many Confluence templates shown online that look useful, but don't appear visible to us in Confluence /not installed. For example, I see this sprint planning template here: <https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/templates/sprint-planning-meeting>

Is there a way to have this installed in our confluence server version 6.12.4?

Confluence Server needs "Atlassian Confluence is starting up" banner
Asked by Michael Woffenden:

Jira has this great banner when starting up.

![screenshot_3616.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/95197i6FA2F21610F8C813/image-dimensions/312x223?v=v2 "screenshot_3616.png")

Confluence server starts up much more slowly than Jira, and therefore desperately needs this feature.

I'd like to make a suggestion for this, unless there already is one.


Answers:
author: Michael Woffenden
body: Thanks Davin, for the support of this idea!

Creating question in confluence
Asked by Rebecca Fajon:

Hi all,

I'm trying to create an end-of-page feedback question for my confluence page. It'll be used by our team so I want to proactively seek feedback on if they found what they needed or not, to continue improvements. I've tried using the create question below, but whatever I type in, I get the error messages showing below. Where am I going wrong?! I have added the answers and the feedback for those submitted, it seems the title has to be 'truly' unique... or am I doing something incorrectly?

Alternatively, is there a better, easier way to gather site feedback, or a more effective macro you'd recommend? I essentially what to know 1) did you find what you needed - yes, no, partly; and 2) have separate responses, or pop-ups?, generate as a result of the option chosen to advise on next steps, ie contact x team with feedback.

<br />

Thank you!

Becky

Answers:
author: Krzysztof Daukszewicz [CoreSoft Labs]
body: As these questions are page-based, the name indeed needs to be unique. I don't think that this tool is actually good for gathering feedback.   

There was [a macro proposed in 2018](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/quot-Was-this-helpful-Yes-No-quot-that-they-have-at-the-bottom/qaq-p/282013) by one of the users, but I don't know if it still works. You can check it though.

Alternatively, if you are considering a paid addon, maybe [Survey and Vote Macro](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/195/survey-and-vote-macros?hosting=server&tab=overview) app will help.

comments: author: Rebecca Fajon
body: Thank you! It looks like that doesn't work anymore, so will have to find a workaround - am surprised this is not simpler, given many people have mentioned it in the forums before. Thank you for your help trying to resolve!

Page banner macro
Asked by Rebecca Fajon:

Hi all,

I've added a page banner onto my confluence site, but can't get an image to appear behind it. I've tried a variety of image links for the 'image URL' field but it just stays grey... what am I doing wrong?! I've tried saving images in server folders then adding link directly from file, as well as resources on the wider web, but nothing populates.

Thank you for any advice!

My company uses Office 365 products Teams and SharePoint Online and wants to move to Confluence.
Asked by sri n:

My company uses Office 365 products Teams and SharePoint Online and wants to move to Confluence. We use Sharepoint in business and enterprise very heavily. Major functionality is lists for tracking the work, requests and use this data to create the reports. Library for knowledge repository and approval workflows. Pages with many customizations and calendars.

question. Is there anything that Confluence can't support what Teams and Sharepoint online does


Answers:
author: Matt Reiner [K15t]
body: [@sri n](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3925450)

First off: Yay! This is a fantastic decision. Get ready to through away the silos that SharePoint and Teams create and get everyone sharing information.

To replace how you're using lists, you may want to use Jira. It's but for maintaining projects and working tickets through workflows.

The content in Library will be replaced by Confluence for sure.

To replace teams, you really should consider Slack. The chat part of Teams isn't replicated anywhere else, and the integration with Confluence is pretty solid.

Want to Stop Importing Word Document Content as Wiki Markup
Asked by Brock Price:

When I import a Word document into Confluence, several wiki markup macros appear. (Something as simple as importing a bracket "\[" will trigger the macro.)

Confluence Rest API: Why can't I create page?
Asked by Kelly_Graver:

I'm using OAuth 2.0 (3LO) to access the Confluence API from my app. I'm able to GET spaces fine, but trying to POST a new page gives me a 403 error. This is how my request is structured using superagent:

```
request.post('https://api.atlassian.com/ex/confluence/<MyCloudId>/wiki/rest/api/content')
.set('Authorization', 'Bearer ' + <MyAccessToken>)
.send({
  "type": "page",
  "title": "Test",
  "space": {
    "key": "TS"
  },
  "body": {
    "storage": {
      "value": "<p>Test page</p>",
      "representation": "storage"
    }
  }
})
.then(...);
```

The documentation says a response code of 403 either means the space doesn't exist or I don't have permission to create the page.

I've tried different space keys and IDs from my Confluence instance and triple checked I have the OAuth scope of write:confluence-content, but still getting 403.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong, any help would be appreciated!

Can you amend a page ownership?
Asked by Laura Sharp:

I understand that you can add administrators to a page however is it possible to change the owner of the page, I cannot locate this in settings.


Answers:
author: repi
body: There is no real owner.  
There is an author and users who have changed.  
Otherwise there are restrictions, who can do what on the site.

You can see that in the page information

comments: author: Laura Sharp
body: Sure, to clarify my question then; can I change the author of a page?

Thanks


author: repi
body: [@Laura Sharp](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3924791)

The author cannot be changed with the standard resources of Confluence. This requires an intervention in the database.


author: JonMcIntyre
body: I had the same problem. It's a problem which a lot of people have, but Atlassian doesn't seem to think it's important. Perhaps they don't understand the use case. See <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-7247>

There needs to be an "owner" for each page separate from the creator/author. In general people will use this to assign responsibility for maintaining and updating the page.

It should be easy to change the owner for an individual page, or in a bulk way. Any individual should be able to easily get a list of all pages they own, so they'll know which ones to review regularly to keep up-to-date.

I found a workaround: Insert a task list on every page (In the + menu while editing). I put this at the bottom of the page so it's not distracting. Put one task in it, and insert a "User mention" in the task (also + menu), followed by whatever words you want, like "owner for keeping page updated".

Then, each user can go to their profile page and click the "Tasks" tab to see all the pages they own, with convenient links to go directly to them. Of course, you'd be leaving these tasks "always unfinished", although I suppose you could mark them finished when a page becomes obsolete and you permanently archive it just for historical reference.

This is not perfect since you can't do bulk ownership changes, but it's better than nothing.

Export PDF image company logo on Header and Footer for specific page easy method
Asked by Kentaro_Vadney:

Hello, I'm trying to add a Header and Logo image to all export PDFs of a space, so that no matter what I export, I can always get a logo image on the header and the footer.

I've gone through the recommended solution at: <https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Is-it-possible-to-add-images-to-the-header-or-the-footer-when/qaq-p/449869>

and it works but I can only export specific pages from a space and it seems a hassle to have to go to space settings, export, then select what to export instead of just hitting the upper triple dots to hit export as we can usually do if we dont want to do a custom export.

I've also seen that there's a product out there that can make this easier from the solution at: <https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/How-to-configure-company-logo-to-header-on-pdf-export/qaq-p/297983>

but I want to see if we can simply add an image footer and header logo without apps.

Also I'm not well adept with html styling or css so my test logo looks really off:

![Capture.PNG](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/95144i95FB811A6104CC06/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Capture.PNG")

Additionally, here are my settings:  

![Capture.PNG](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/95143i9D1796CFDA3D658C/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Capture.PNG")

I ideally want my export PDF to look like the attatched image below, I'm sorry for the low quality art:

![Untitled.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/95145iBA446A16F49BBD19/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Untitled.png")

If your solution has a step-by-step example, it will help a lot.

Thank you so much!

Is it possible to make the content of a Code Block macro a link a plantuml code macro?
Asked by Francisco Escoda:

I am using Code Block macros to show the plantuml code associated with UML diagrams. This decision was primarily driven to have the plantuml code shown along with the UML diagram on exported versions of the pages. Given that the plantuml code will change frequently over time I would like to make the code inside the Code Block a "link" to the source plantuml code, so that it will automatically get updated anytime after a change to the original plantuml code.


Answers:
author: repi
body: Think this is not possible.  
The code can only be entered directly into the Code Block Macro.  
A link is not possible.

Using a space for a site homepage: sidebar disappears
Asked by Hannah Sinemus:

I want to use a space as the landing page for our instance of Confluence and have been developing one for that purpose, to acclimate new users and provide pages of general information. I changed the settings today to see how it would look, and discovered that the new 'home' only shows the space Overview page. The sidebar with related space blog and pages does not appear.

Have I missed something in the general settings that would cause this issue, or is it not designed to display the entire space when you land there?

Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!


Answers:
author: Fadoua
body: [@Hannah Sinemus](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3911733)

No making a space your landing page is not the problem.

Are you able to see the space settings on the left frame? if yes click on it and you will be able to see Sidebar Configuration.

Please let me know how it goes.

Best,

Fadoua

comments: author: Hannah Sinemus
body: [@Fadoua](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/655791)I can configure the sidebar in space settings when I go to the actual space, but the landing-page version only shows the overview page and the whole sidebar is hidden.

I should mention also that this is using the new cloud display, where the main nav is at the top of the browser.


author: Fadoua
body: [@Hannah Sinemus](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3911733)

I am seeing the top navigation bar (which I really like). It looks like once you make a space the site landing page you lose the side bar.

If you think about it, it won't look good having a homepage with the option of editing the space settings. You can customize your page by adding links to it or using some of Confluence macros.

Attached is a screenshot from my instance after I made a space my landing page.

Unable to create child page through REST API
Asked by FLoureiro:

Hello everyone,

I am trying to create a child page through REST API, but I am always getting:

```
"message": "A page with this title already exists: A page already exists with the title new page2 in the space with key CM",
"reason": "Bad Request",
"statusCode": 400
```

This is the HTTP API POST that I am using:

```
curl -u admin:admin -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"type":"page","title":"new page","ancestors":[{"id":110198787}], "space":{"key":"CM"},"body":{"storage":{"value":"<p>This is a new page</p>","representation":"storage"}}}' http://localhost:8090/rest/api/content/ | python -mjson.tool?
```

And my question what am I doint wrong?

The issue is with the id?

The id, is from the page where we want to create the child page or if I must add more fields to identify the page in question. My objective is to create a cascade of pages. For example Page C is a child of Page B, and Page B is a child of Page A who is in the root of Space 1.

Thanks in advance!


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Not the id, the first line of the error message is almost certainly the problem - you already have a page with that title in that space.

comments: author: FLoureiro
