Screen size
Asked by Onno van der Straaten:

I noticed that Confluence cloud different from Confluence server has been optimized to support display with very low resolution. 600 pixels width I think.

Is there a way to utilize the extra pixels on larger screens when using Confluence cloud?


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello [@Onno van der Straaten](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4166833) !

If you are talking about page width, you can select between two options. A narrow one and a wider one.

Here is what it looks like:
> ![Screen-Recording-2020-11-23-at-1.gif](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/119356i7EA3C29A469FB3F4/image-dimensions/433x157?v=v2 "Screen-Recording-2020-11-23-at-1.gif")

When you do this, both the editor and published views of the page will be wider.

I hope this is what you were looking for!

Summary of Meeting Notes appears automatically
Asked by Idriss Brockmann-Serbis:

Hello,  

whenever I create an article of the type *Meeting Note* , Confluence will automatically create a page with the summary of all Meeting Notes with all items of the individual meeting notes. I keep deleting it at it keeps being automatically recreated. Is there a way to hinder that?  

*As to why we would like to do so: We divided a Confluence Space into several sections and do explicitely not want to create a space for each separate section (workaround) since the information must be centralized in only one space for our use case. Now, not everyone should have access to all sections of the space, so we are limiting access. Unfortunately, the automatically created summary of all Meeting Notes summarizes all Meeting Notes of the whole section + gets created at root level. We want to create our own summaries with our own Layout for each section where we want it to be, not use the automatically generated page at all.*

Thank you for your assistance


Answers:
author: Henning van Ackeren
body: When using that template (technically it's a "Blueprint" as it has more functionality than a template) you can't keep it from creating the overview page afaik.

I would create a user template, that has all the pre-filled content in it that you need, probably similar to what the built-in template has, and add a label "my-meeting-notes" to your new template. That label allows you to create the overview wherever you need it. You can use the Content Report Table macro to aggregate the pages with those labels as an overview

Somehow you'd need to keep your users from using the original template/blueprint. You could use the "create from template" macro to create a button to nudge your user to not use the built-in one.

Hope that helps.

How do you display the option to not Copy attachments when executing Copy of a Page from one space?
Asked by Siddhartha Ghose:

How do you display the option to not Copy attachments when executing Copy of a Page from one space?

I've found myself making copies of pages from inside a space to help save time. That works awesome to save a lot of time but also brings all the attachments along for the ride. Any chance there is a 'copy without attachments' available somewhere?

Second question: when I use the 'delete' operation on an image, it removes it from the visible page but not from the 'Attachments' part of the page. Any chance we can do a 2-for-1 to remove the image from both the visible page and the attachments control?


Answers:
author: AJ Barks - Old Street
body: The one time SharePoint is better than Confluence... LOL


author: Brant Schroeder
body: Siddhartha,

You cannot make copies of pages with out coping the attachments. There is a feature request here that you can vote for. <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-19389>

The attachment question is a good one. When you delete if from the page the reason it does not delete it from the attachments area is because the page has versions. So it requires you to take an extra step to get rid of it entirely. Sorry not feature request for a change on this one.

Linking Images
Asked by Kendall Shepherd:

How do I link an image to another Confluence Page? I used to be able to do it, but it looks like now that feature is no longer available when I upload a file. When I click the image my only options appear to be alignment, text wrapping, alt test and delete.

Thank you


Answers:
author: Daniel Eads
body: Hi Kendall, welcome to the Community!

In the new Confluence editor, it's currently not possible to add a link on an image. Work is being done currently to add this functionality to the new editor, as you're absolutely correct that you could do it with the legacy editor. You can follow along on [CONFCLOUD-65640](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-65640) to get updates on when this feature ships.

In addition, the [feature comparison on the editor roadmap](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/confluence-cloud-editor-roadmap/#ConfluenceCloudEditorRoadmap-featurecomparison) might help shed light on other functions that you may be used to from the legacy editor. Thanks for your patience as we continue refining the new editor!

Cheers,  
Daniel

Answers:
author: Bill Bailey
body: I will answer in English as it is easier for me. ;-) The answer is no, it is not possible to change the author of an existing page. If it is a serious issue, then here is what you have to do:

1. Change the title of the page you want to change (add something like "Temp" to the end of the page name.
2. Have who you want to be listed as the author create a new page with the original page title
3. Copy all the content from the "Temp" page to the new page.
4. Delete the "Temp" page.

**Note:** All revision history will be lost in this process.

wrapper for html-include macro
Asked by Mahima Mishra:

I have a html page that has thumbnail.hover enabled but when I include that html to confluence, that property is lost and some other styling related to the table rows.  

Is it possible to create a user defined macro as a wrapper around the include html macro to include the css of my choice?

or any other way to keep the formatting as it is in the source html file.


Answers:
author: Bill Bailey
body: Yes you could do that. But let's back up to what exactly the end goal is. For example, are you only wanting to do this for one table, or multiple?

comments: author: Mahima Mishra
body: I basically want to include a html page and apply the stylesheet to all the tables that page contains.


author: Bill Bailey
body: Then yes, a user macro that basically sets all of your conditions/parameters is the solution. You can have the macro either call a stylesheet or included the code in the macro. If there is overlap in the definitions, you may need to set a class on the iframe.


author: Mahima Mishra
body: Do you have an example to share... My html and macro writing skills are very limited.

Add Inline Comment feature is notifying watchers of a page - is there a way to prevent this?
Asked by Tara:

Hi everyone,

When we collaborate on a piece of work, using Inline Comment, all watchers of the Space are notified. We aren't editing the page, so can't uncheck the 'notify watchers' box. We want it to only notify the person tagged on the Inline Comment, not all watchers.

Is there a way to change this?

Answers:
author: Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}
body: Hi [@AME](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4166027) ,

As usual standard Confluence macros work with static content (except such macros as Jira Issues and Page Properties Report macro).

So try to use additional plugins, for example, the [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview) app and its [Table from CSV](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+from+CSV+macro) macro that can output data from [Google Sheets/Google Drive](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/Outputting+tables+from+Google+Sheets+and+Google+Drive+in+Confluence), and all the changes will be reflected immediately.

Besides with the help of the same app and its [Table Transformer](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Transformer+macro) macro you will be able to count and display your time zones right in Confluence:

![Thu 1-4.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/118932i07DCB36EF6BF8628/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Thu 1-4.png")Type in the following custom SQL query:

SELECT \*,  
FORMATDATE(DATEADD(hour, T1.'GMT' + ("today"::Date-\>getTimezoneOffset() / 60), NOW())) AS 'Time'  
FROM T1

![Thu 1-1.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/118933i410DE64E7593B225/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Thu 1-1.png")And set the corresponding Date format (hh:mm):

![Thu 1-2.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/118934i30411418F9D0FD36/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Thu 1-2.png")As a result you'll get the following table that is always up-to-date:

Unable to use "Attach from.... Computer" function

Hi,

Suddenly and mysteriously I'm unable to use the 'Attach from computer" function on my MacBook Pro running Safari v 14.0.1

When I try the 'Attach' feature, I can access a relevant window using all the other options and the pop up window appears (attach from Dropbox, Trello, etc...) but when I click on 'Attach From Computer' literally nothing happens.

This is strange because it was working fine for the last 6 months!

Does anybody have any ideas?

How to write a confluence macro with forge and custom ui?
Asked by Peter Hack:

Hi,

I want to create a confluence macro with a more "exotic" ui including CSS, font awesome and other javascript resources like "fitty" for text resizing.

As it is suggested to use "forge" for new apps I learned about "ui kit" and "custom ui".

Since "ui kit" is intended for simple UIs with classic atlassian style, I thought that "custom ui" would be the right one for me.

But it seems it is not possible to write confluence macros with forge and custom ui. At the moment only the following moduls seem to support custom uis (according to "forge create":

* confluence-content-byline
* confluence-space-page
* confluence-space-settings

What is the way to go to implement more exotic macros for confluence cloud?

Jira Chart application link
Asked by Nikita:

Hello there!

**Environment**

There are 2 virtual machines for Jira Server and Confluence instance. Apps linked by ++**local**++ IP directly. All users connect to Jira and Confluence via proxy machine, using ++**public**++ IP. (3 VM in total)

**Issue**

We have a problem with the Jira Chart plugin in Confluence. As you see in the picture below, we have several links. All links go to the Jira Issue Navigator via Application Link. But, link **View in Jira** goes via **Display URL** (**++public IP,++** proxy VM), while links behind numbers go via **Application URL** (**++local IP++** and port of Jira VM). That's why I can easily see link **View in Jira** and have connection errors for all other links. If I change the ++**local IP with the port**++ in links to the **Display URL**, I can open the links.

**Question**

Is there any possibility to change the behavior for the Jira Chart plugin to use only the **Display URL** from the Application link?

Import Trello cards to create Confluence pages
Asked by Mike Ball:

Hello

I'm new to Confluence and while I know there is good integration to Trello, I want to move what was on a Trello board across completely - Trello was never really the right tool

I have an Internal KnowledgeBase in Trello with different lists and cards.

How can I migrate the Trello contents across?

Ideally I'd like the Trello List as a sub-category and each card as a page using a simple template. I don't mind too much about automating things like attachments, there's some but few enough that I could do that part manually

(Currently I have the Free Plan)

Thanks  
Mike


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello [@Mike Ball](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4144329)!

This exact method of content migration between Trello and Confluence is not available. We can, surely, use Confluence and Trello in tandem.

Here is our documentation on the topic:
> * [++***\[Confluence Cloud\] Use Trello and Confluence together***++](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/use-trello-and-confluence-together/)

A similar question was asked but the person needed to transfer Trello content over to Jira. You can take a look here:
> * [++***\[Atlassian Community\] How to export all content from Trello card to Jira (including Comments and Checklists?)***++](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/How-to-export-all-content-from-Trello-card-to-Jira-including/qaq-p/1030080)

Currently, the result you need can only be achieved by manually creating pages and spaces in Confluence and then moving the content from Trello to the corresponding section of Confluence.

Let us hear from you!
