Macro Menu use different language than global language
Asked by Cedric_DEVAUX:

Hello,

My company is international so we use 3 languages: English, French \& German. So 3 languages are installed ans the default language is English

Since few weeks, I have a strange phenomenon, the macro menu is in German whereas the rest of Confluence is in English.

The first time that I was confronted with this issue, I reinstall language packages (English \& French) and set as default English, it worked since yesterday ...

Macro menu reappears in German whereas the rest is in English.

Today, I check default language, It is in English again.

I disable German language and check macro menu, it stays always in German.

I don't know why this menu appears in German and I don't know how to resolve it.

For your info:

* Confluence 5.9.4
* Hosting Platform Linux
* Database: Postgre
* Web Browser: IE11, Chrome, Firefox same phenomenon

Someone could help?

Thanks a lot,

Cedric

body: **Similar Issue:**

We are running Confluence version 5.10.8. We noticed that when selecting macros it defaulted to Russian, however the Global Default Language selected is **English (US)**.

**Resolution**:

* Selected **English (US)** for the Global Default Language
* Restart Confluence

++Platform++

* Confluence 5.10.8
* CentOS 6
* MySQL 5.6.29

Possible Theories:

* One of our Confluence Administrators changed the default Language to Russia and then changed it back to English, but the macros didn't revert back to English.
* A 3rd party add-on potentially modified the macros to display in the non-default Global Language format.

author: brookula
body: Something very similar just happened to my confluence 5.10.8 instance. All tempo gadgets from our various connected jira instances had French titles. Our global language is set to English (UK). I could not reproduce the issue in a nonprod copy of our instance. I repaired the situation by disabling the gadget plugin under system plugins and then re-enabling it. I did not need to restart confluence.

Deafult Groups

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: [Confluence Groups for Administrators](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=138706)*

I don't see the default group named **system-administrators** in Confluence 5.10**.**The two default groups that I have are confluence-administrators and confluence-users. Very confuse!

Allowing access only if a user is in multiple groups
Asked by Curtis Harvey:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: [Permissions and Restrictions](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=724765432)*

Hello,

If I have setup our groups in two ways, one being by department (Marketing \& Sales, Customer Service, Product Development, etc) and one by employee level (VP, Director, Sr Developer, ETC), is it possible to only allow access if a user is in two groups? For example, only grant access to a space for users that are in Customer Service and at the VP level?


Answers:
author: Ignacio Pulgar
body: I don't think that's possible. You can create an independent group for that and add the desired users there. That way, you can have full control and mind some exceptions.

Table of Contents Macro - how to fully control include exclude features and links

Gliffy Diagrams License for affiliates
Asked by Berthold Neldner:

Hello guys,

i have a question about the gliffy diagrams license.

When a company buys a Gliffy License, can you also use it for its affiliates?

Thx for help

Berthold  


Answers:
author: KatyK
body: Hi Berthold,

If you purchase a Gliffy license, you would purchase either the [Gliffy for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.gliffy.integration.confluence/server/overview) license, or the [Gliffy for JIRA](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.gliffy.integration.jira/server/overview) license, depending on what product you want to use it in. If you want to use it in both, you would need to purchase a license for each. Atlassian treats Confluence and JIRA as separate products.

If you have further questions or if that is not what you are referring to, feel free to drop us a note at [support@gliffy.com.](mailto:support@gliffy.com.)

Thanks!

Katy

comments: author: Berthold Neldner
body: Hi Katy :smile:

Thanks for your quick answer!

Let me explain my question more detailly : if there is a company on top of a company group, which has several affiliates and this big company buys a Gliffy License. Can the affiliates use it too or just the parent company?

Thx for help

Berthold


author: KatyK
body: HI Berthold,

If they use the same Confluence/JIRA instance then anyone who has access to it can use the Gliffy plugin if they have the proper attachments permissions. Licenses cannot be transferred across instances as far as we know.

There appears to be an answer similar to this here: <https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/10414614/multiple-instances-of-jira-under-a-single-license>

Per Atlassian, "The short answer is that you can not use the same license in more than one production instance."

If you have further questions about that we would recommend contacting Atlassian since they handle all the licensing directly since 2013.

Thanks!


author: Berthold Neldner
body: Hi Katy,

thank you for your answer! So in other words: It all depends on the confluence Instance? If the affiliates have the same Instance, they can use the license?


author: KatyK
body: If they use the same instance they can use the same license.

For questions about how the licensing works and how they can be used, please contact Atlassian at support.atlassian.com or review their FAQ's: <https://www.atlassian.com/licensing/purchase-licensing>

Set all users as watchers for specific space
Asked by Yanick Belart:

Hi there

All users must be set as watchers for specific corporate spaces. Is there a easy way. We know a workaround, but there is a little problem: Set an fictitious user with a group-mail-account (mailing list). Each time somebody changes something in that space, everybody get informed through the mailing list. Now, the problem is: People could add themselves as a watcher, too. As a result, they get notifications twice. Can we prevent users to watch specific spaces or is there any other solution?

Thanks for helping us,  
Yanick


Answers:
author: Alex Yasurek
body: HI,

What you could do in that case is hide the watch button since you are already assigning everyone to watch it through that mail group. This could be done through CSS or Jquery for specific spaces.


author: Davin Studer
body: To hide the button in just defined spaces you could add something like this to the Custom HTML in Confluence Admin.

```
&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;AJS.toInit(function(){	var keys = ["DEV","BLAH","STUFF"]; //Add space keys to hide the watch button here	if(keys.indexOf(AJS.params.spaceKey) !== -1) {		AJS.$('#watch-content-button').css('display','none');	}});&lt;/script&gt;
```


author: Yanick Belart
body: Hi Alex

Thanks you so much. Do you know how to hide the button in that specific space? When I hide the button in the Custom HTML I am going to hide it in every space. That is not the goal.

Thank you very much.

comments: author: Alex Yasurek
body: HI,

Add that CSS to the style sheet within the specific space if you want it to only apply to a one space. If you go to the admin section of the space, you will see a stylesheet panel under look and feel


author: Yanick Belart
body: Hi Alex

Thanks a lot. I already thought about that, but how to hide the watch button of that specific space. I do not get an identifier (unique class or id) in css. Any idea?

Thanks again,

Yanick

comments: author: Alex Yasurek
body: I am on confluence 5.9 and can hide it with jquery using $("#watch-content-button").hide();

To use css just do #watch-content-button{display:none}

What is this language pack?

I am trying to understand what language packs are supported as Standard in our Confluence instance.

The first four in the list are OK since they are written in English characters

Google Drive Connector - private google account and google for work
Asked by Lior Musman:

Google Drive Connector - When people have both private google account and google for work, it insist on using the (wrong) private account, so the user cannot access the document.

"Switch accounts" does not work/

How do I fix this?


Answers:
author: David Benson _draw_io_
body: We've pushed a change to force the default account to be used instead of the private account always, that's a pretty bizarre default for Google to apply, we weren't aware of this.

In terms of the switching account, Google doesn't permit that to work inside an iFrame, as is the case here. We'll look into whether we can do anything can be done to work around it, but Google's multiple accounting handling is just a hack and we're dependent on it here, unfortunately.

comments: author: Lior Musman
body: Thanks, appreciate the quick turnaround !!


author: Jochen Rau
body: It would be really good to see the user-changing work.

At least, I would recommend a place-holder image if it fails, that links to a page which explains the error and how you can work around it to watch/edit.

I also experience that saving/editing does not work (and sadly first after you tried to save), so it really would be good to have a solution here. Thanks for your efforts!


author: Du?an Plav?k
body: [@David Benson _draw_io_](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/853291) any updates on this?


author: David Benson _draw_io_
body: There's no workaround, you can assume this cannot be fixed. Atlassian have a Google Drive Connector, see whether that handles this issue better.

How can I access another server and edit the Confluence space? I need to be able of editing the website without being physically present on the server site
Asked by Francisco Gallegos:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: [Setting Up Public Access](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=156)*

Ask your question here...


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: I think you need to explain this in more detail.

What you seem to be saying is "I want to change data on a server I have no access to". This is nonsense - either you have access or you don't.

comments: author: Francisco Gallegos
body: I created a website using Confluence on one computer, but I can't seem to be able to access said website from another computer and make changes to it.


author: Francisco Gallegos
body: What I'm trying to figure out is how to access said website without giving an anonymous user the ability to edit the website


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: So, you have Confluence running on a server and you've written some stuff in it. Now you're trying to get to it from another computer, but it is not letting you. Is that right?

If so, then the next question is "what is the problem on the second computer?". Does it time out like Confluence isn't there? You can't log in? You can log in, but can't edit? etc?


author: Francisco Gallegos
body: I am able to log into confluence but not access the wiki that I made on the computer that I am planning on using as a server. Basically what I want to do is edit the website I made from wherever I am. My plan is to have a set amount of users edit said website without having to cramp them all in one computer and without having them downloading confluence as a service. I am aware that you can give access to other users by adding them to the administrators list but I am not capable of accessing the website with another account. Is this possible? If so, what do I have to do? The Confluence guide isn't really helping me. I already added another user, which is another account of mine, but that's about all I was able to do so far. I downloaded confluence on my laptop to test this if I am able to achieve my goal.

How can I create a "bad word" report in Confluence?
Asked by Richard_Isaacks:

I need to create a daily report of usage that scans all text in the entire system for "bad words" from a "bad word" list. This would be used by an internal group to ensure compliance. It would also need to have a quick link to the affected page so that it can be removed by an administrator.


Answers:
author: Stephen Deutsch
body: The easiest way to do this is to have a page with a bunch of "Search Results" macros, one for each "bad word". This will update automatically as new pages are indexed and includes links to the page (even if not directly to the word, but you can use CTRL+F on the page to go directly to the word quite easily :smile:).


author: Bob Swift (personal)
body: If you think that all your bad words will be indexed correctly by Confluence so that search will work, then construct a CQL statement that will look for any content that has those words. Then put that CQL in a [getContentList](https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/display/CSOAP/Reference#Reference-getContentList) action from [Confluence Command Line Interface (CLI)](https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/display/CSOAP) and run that daily using your favorite job scheduler. If you want the report available in Confluence, attach the resulting file to a page using [addAttachment](https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/display/CSOAP/Reference#Reference-addAttachment) and view using the [CSV Macro](https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/display/TBL/CSV+Macro?src=sidebar).

If Confluence search (ie CQL) doesn't do a good enough job for your use case, there will soon be another alternative available for searching in a similar manner.


author: Adrien Ragot 2
body: The tailored technical solution would be to create a plugin. It requires a basic knowledge of how to develop add-ons for Confluence: Listen to the PageUpdateEvent and email someone when that happens - and that would take 1-2 days programming. The long part in all plugins is always to make them configurable: Who it should email, where we configure the add-on, what if we can't send emails that day, how to deactivate the report for some pages, in case of emails then can the recipient stop the flood and how to align those emails with the Confluence design, etc. - and that could take 10 other days...

How do I find out the tomcat versions for JIRA or Confluence versions that I have not yet installed?
Asked by Joel_E__Wilson:

My current versions of JIRA and Confluence have non-compliant (according to our own internal audit) versions of Tomcat and I want to find out if upgrading JIRA and Confluence will actually remediate this or if I have to manage my own Tomcat container and do the WAR installation route.


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Unfortunately, there's no easy way to do this, and no documented list I can find.

Also, for later versions, there is no "WAR installation route"


author: Steven F Behnke
body: I believe the individual product's Supported Platform page is your best bet.

* <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/supported-platforms-207488198.html>

The JIRA one is pretty straight-forward. You can easily navigate through versions of a product using the version selector --

We followed the install instructions exactly from what I can tell.... any insight to how to resolve would be appreciated.


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: That "unable to clean" error almost always means you've (accidentally) changed the ownership of part of the installation, either by running it as a different user, or by trying to "be secure". Check ownership and permissions and that you're running Confluence as the user you intend to permanently.

comments: author: Ira Greenfield
body: We have Confluence set up to Run as a windows Service using the system account. I checked the Confluence folder security and the local administrator \& System have full access to the directory structure


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: By "system account" do you mean what you later call "System"?

Could there be something else locking or reading the files in there?  

(The usual advice is to run Confluence as a dedicated, minimally privileged user, but that's a minor point and I don't think it matters here)
