Microsoft Teams plugin showing blank screen.
Asked by Grant.Smith:

Hi all,

I recently added confluence cloud for Microsoft teams as a tab on our teams channel. After added an existing page from a public confluence space, all that appears is a blank screen.   

I thought it was a permissions issue but I changed all the pages to have anyone can view permissions.   

Has anyone else encountered this?


Answers:
author: Jessica
body: Hello Grant, Roland

Are you still experience this issue on the Desktop and Web version? If only in one version, which one is having issue?

One of the things that could be impacting and displaying this behavior, would be an outdated version of the desktop version.

Could you confirm if you have the latest version (and let us know which one)?

Additionally, could you try clearing the cache for your Microsoft Teams app?

You can follow these steps from the [Microsoft Tutorial - Clear the Teams client cache](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/troubleshoot/teams-administration/clear-teams-cache)  

If that is still an issue, could you confirm:

* Which OS are you running on your device?
* Are you trying to login from a bot, conversation or tabs?
* Which version of Microsoft Teams is installed? 32bit or 64bit?
* Which version of running OS 32bit or 64bit?

If this is also reproducible on the Web version as well, we would like to gather a HAR file, but that would probably need a ticket with us, so you can upload the file with us only. - That would require a site-admin to open a ticket on your behalf.

Regards,   
Jessica


author: Grant.Smith
body: I got it to working.

Here is the workaround I used.

1. Signed out of confluence.

2. Added URL for the Confluence space to the Teams channel using Website tab on Teams.

3. Get a restricted viewing screen.

4. Sign into Confluence on the website tab with the Confluence space.

5. Reload the Confluence Cloud tab.

Recovery password does not work
Asked by Catherine Tarrant:

I have lost the admin password for my Confluence site (server v7.3.1) and am following the instructions here: [Restore Passwords To Recover Admin User Rights \| Confluence Data Center and Server 7.3 \| Atlassian Documentation](https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf73/restore-passwords-to-recover-admin-user-rights-991928484.html)

After completing the changes and restarting the service, I enter Username=recovery_admin and Password=\<the password I created\>, however the screen simply refreshes and the URL changes to this: [http://localhost:8090/login.action?os_destination=%2Findex.action\&permissionViolation=true](http://localhost:8090/login.action?os_destination=%2Findex.action&permissionViolation=true)

I tried it with a couple of different simple passwords to ensure there wasn't something wrong with the password, but still no luck. No message, no nothing to indicate what the problem is.

Strangely, when I enter Username=recovery-admin (i.e. with a hyphen), I at least get a message indicating that the username and/or password are incorrect.

Any ideas? I'm stumped.


Answers:

body: [@Fabio Racobaldo _Herzum_](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/781528)

Thanks for your response. I stopped the service, then updated the Java Options placing this text... "-Datlassian.recovery.password=ABCD1234" at the end (see screenshot). I clicked Apply, and then OK, and then restarted the service.

Next, I launched the application on localhost and entered the new credentials. It spins for a few seconds, and then the screen simply refreshes, no error message. When I try a second time, same thing.

When I try a random account, an error message is provided, "Sorry, your username and/or password are incorrect. Please try again."

Thanks, I checked under **HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE >> SOFTWARE >> Wow6432Node >> Apache Software Foundation >> Procrun 2.0 >> CONFLUENCE**`(etc)...`

and the entry for the password is listed there, so I do not think that is the issue.

Some links to internal pages not updating in Scroll Viewport
Asked by Tim Paul:

I have an inconsistent problem where a Confluence page has a link to another internal Confluence page in the same space. When I use the Scroll Viewport app, some of the links do not get converted properly. They maintain the direct link to the Confluence page.   

Image 1: Links as seen in Confluence. The links go to pages within the same space.  
![Confluence Link example.JPG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/229936iF9F2529473A1C01A/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Confluence Link example.JPG")  
Image 2: Links as seen in Scroll Viewport. For some reason, the first two links point back to Confluence. The third and forth link now point to the appropriate page in Scroll Viewport  

![Scroll View Port Link example.JPG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/229937i3787C4464012FCAF/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Scroll View Port Link example.JPG")  


Answers:
author: Sven Schatter _K15t_
body: Hi [@Tim Paul](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5087370),

this usually happens when the Viewport app user does not have access to the content you're linking to. Even though the linked pages are in the same space, there can be page-level restrictions which may prevent Viewport from accessing them.

Could you check if those linked pages are actually published in your Viewport site? If they are not, then they probably are restricted. Note that if these pages have parent pages, the restrictions might also be configured on one of those parent pages. You can either remove the restrictions or specifically grant read access to the Scroll Viewport app user. After that, the pages should be published in your site and the links should be resolved correctly.

You can find the Confluence documentation on restrictions [here](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/add-or-remove-page-restrictions/) if you want to know more.

Let me know if this helps! :)

Cheers,  
Sven

comments: author: Tim Paul
body: Thank you. That is exactly what happened. Certain pages were moved to a restricted area.   

We will have to be more careful in the future. Thanks.

How to Create a User Profile Display Macro

Is there a way to automatically insert new Jira cards that are created into a Confluence document?
Asked by Helena Mavromatis:

Is there a way to automatically pull in any Jira card that is created in relation to a Confluence document and have it inserted into that document?


Answers:
author: Ravi Sagar _Sparxsys_
body: Hi [@Helena Mavromatis](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5098358)

Could you please elaborate. Do you want new Jira issues to appear in a Confluence page? If you use a Jira filter in your Confluence macro then any new issues would appear anyways.

Ravi

comments: author: Helena Mavromatis
body: Hi [@Ravi Sagar _Sparxsys_](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/853596) ,

Thank you for responding. My example is: I am creating a new Confluence document, and insert Jira cards that are related to the document and publish the page. Now let's say more Jira cards are created later after this document page is published. Is there a way to automate those new Jira cards that were created after to be inserted into that Confluence document that was already created and published? Is there some sort of tagging or label that the system will pick up and automatically insert into my Confluence document? Or do I need to manually insert it myself into my document as I create them?

Thank you,

Helena

color code and organize tables
Asked by Kasra Ayz:

Hello everyone

so I have a page in confluence with 10 tables and over 300 rows and growing

each row has a link pasted in

I have to color code some columns

as we as 1 column in each row has the status that I color code in 3 categories

I use /status module for status and table coloring for other columns

but im feeling it's getting too heavy and slow to load and receiving error discunnected messages as well

do you think if is there an easier and light way to organize such a table

im even thing of just change the color font instead og using status module if that makes any differences

Confluence Dashboard for Jira Service Desk Integration
Asked by Dustin Graham:

We have Jira Service Desk with a knowledgebase integration with Confluence.

For our supported users, they can go to /servicedesk/customer/portal/1/article/\* to read an article, but I cannot find anywhere where they can see the dashboard.

The confluence dashboard has a lot of additional useful content such as related links and a welcome greeting. As well as a list of articles that can be navigated.

How do I provide this dashboard and better search tool to our supported users without paying for every single user?


Answers:
author: Darlene.Jeter
body: Dustin,

Are you saying you have a Confluence link with useful information that you want to display to your users in the portal (Where access is free)

NOTE: One of two things has to be valid:

1. Users have Confluence Licenses (unless you want to use the "new" guest feature)
2. Or the page has to be public

Would recommend to start with importing newly created test space to narrow down if it's a general issue or just this space.

Base on the message about login, is the space users from the source instance also part of the new instance? May want to sync up the user base.

Raise a ticket with Atlassian support as well. By narrowing it down the investigation, this will help when contacting Atlassian Support. Make sure to send them your support.zip to reduce the turn around time.
