Formatting a list as a checklist
Asked by mike.howells:

I need to be able to format a list on a wiki page as a checklist.

I used to do this before 4.x by using the square style of list - text and defining some custom CSS that changed the list-style-image for ul.alternate:

```
/* show checkbox when - bullets are used (for checklists) */div.wiki-content ul.alternate{  list-style-image: url(/download/attachments/57802802/checkbox.png);}
```

Since 4.0 these lists no longer use a CSS class but have list-style-type: square hard-wired into the HTML.

Is there a way to change the format of a list in 4.x?


Answers:
author: mike.howells
body: Thanks but the above CSS will apply to all \<ul\> lists, whereas I only want to show a checklist when people use the square bullet style. They still need to be able to use round bullets normally.


author: HuseinA
body: You can do this by entering the following CSS code in your Custom HTML \>\> At beginning of the BODY. Custom HTML can be found in your Confluence Administration console:

```
&lt;style&gt;div.wiki-content ul  {    list-style-image: url(/images/logo/confluence_48_trans.png) !important;  }&lt;/style&gt;
```

comments: author: HuseinA
body: Sorry, that icon was just a quick test of mine. You can change the icon URL accordingly.


author: Matthew J. Horn
body: Sure, you still can use CSS, you just either have to edit Confluence's CSS directly or apply styles that override the defaults. To do the latter, go to the Site Admin section and click "Stylesheet" under Look and Feel.

Add any overrides you want, but just be sure to put "!important" before the semicolon. For example:

myCustomStyle {

list-style-image: url(/download/attachments/57802802/checkbox.png) !important;

}

You would then add your UL in an HTML macro on the Confluence page, and wrap it in a DIV tag that defines its class as myCustomStyle.

Custom Thumbnail for Image in Table
Asked by mark serena:

Hey guys,

I want to attach an image to a table, but insert a custom thumbnail.

My reason is that in my table I have an assortment of images at different heights and it appears quite messy. I want to choose a custom thumbnail (which I've automated a crop function in python) or choose to have the thumbnail cropped at a square resolution eg 300x300

I found some older documentation that showed how to do something similar but it looses the lightbox feature..is it possible in confluence 4.2 and up?

Thanks,

Mark


Answers:
author: arron lee
body: Hi, Mark.

How about [creating thumbnails](http://www.yiigo.com/guides/vbnet/how-to-create-thumbnail.shtml) with the help of some manual [imaging toolkits](http://www.yiigo.com/guides/csharp/) which can be customized by users according to our own favors? You can google it and select one whose way of processing is simple and fast to help you with the related image thumnail customing work. Remember to check its free trial package first if possible. I hope you success. Good luck.

Plugin to convert text in the code macro into an image
Asked by Akanksha Dhingra:

Hi,

Is there any plugin that supports in converting the the text in the code macro into an image similar to latex plugin that converts the latex equations into an iamge


Answers:
author: LuizA
body: Hello Akanksha,

Unfortunately there's no plugin that could perform this kind of convertion, what could be done would be to manipulate screenshots (images) with the ScreenSnipe plugin, please see below more information about this plugin:

<https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.spartez.ss.screensnipe-confluence-plugin>

It is a little different from what you asked for but it provides more options about working with images and screenshots, so maybe this can help.

Kind Regards,

All buttons take me to http://localhost:8090/dashboard.action#
Asked by Juan Pereyra:

I just install confluence 4.2.2 and most of the buttons are not working;

* Add Page
* Add Blog
* Browse
* User

When I hover the mouse the link is [http://localhost:8090/dashboard.action#](http://localhost:8090/dashboard.action) .

But when I hover over Add Users, that it is working I see a <http://localhost:8090/admin/users/createuser.action?from=db-button>

Any ideas?


Answers:
author: Septa Cahyadiputra
body: Hi Juan,

That is weird, indeed if you hover on all of those mentioned button, Confluence should show the mentioned link. However when you click it, it should give you a drop down option to continue the process.

Could you please elaborate on more detail on what you meant by the button not working. Is it redirect you to the wrong page after you clicked it.

If Confluence does not provide you the necessary drop down option when you click those links you might want to try the following steps

1. Shutdown Confluence instance
2. Remove the following directories (backup if necessary)
   * \<confluence-home\>/bundled-plugins
   * \<confluence-home\>/plugin-cache
   * \<confluence-home\>/plugins-osgi-cache
   * \<confluence-home\>/plugins-temp
   * \<confluence-home\>/bundled-plugins_language
3. Restart Confluence

If the problem still persist, pelase double check your environment for example JDK and see if its [supported](http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Supported+Platforms).

Hope it helps.

Cheers,  
Septa Cahyadiputra

comments: author: Juan Pereyra
body: Hi Septa,

It works! I follow the instructions and now works like a dream. About the issue, there was no error message or anything. I click on the butons and it would take me back to the dashboard. I try re-starting the server but it didn't work.

Let me know if you want me to send you any log files.

Thanks for the quick response.

Juan


author: Septa Cahyadiputra
body: Hi Juan,

Glad to hear that, and not a problem it is my pleasure to help :).

Anyway, it seems that the cause of your issue is due to corrupted plugin cache during the start-up process.

any way to embed MongoDB query results into Confluence?
Asked by Jeff Behl:

I'd like to embed some content from a MongoDB query into a Confluence page, much in the same way you can embed arbitray SQL query results. Anyone think of a clever way to do this? There doesn't seem to be a plugin to do it directly, so that not being available, is there some sort of widget to be used to do it?


Answers:
author: Renjith Pillai
body: How about using {beanshell} macro, stuff in some Java code to pull out the JSON objects from DB, and do out.println in the Wiki format of Confluence? Haven't tried this myself, but should work.

Is it possible to include a static list of JIRA issues in Confluence?
Asked by Systems Department:

I would like to make a confluence page that only displays the resolved JIRA issues form the previous 7 days. A weekly report if you will. I have a filter in JIRA that shows only resolved issues for the previous week. Using -1w. However if I insert that into Confluence via the JIRA plugin, it will display the previous weeks closed issues relative to when the confluence page is viewed. Do I have to make a seperate filter every week to accomplish this task? Or is there a way to get the JIRA issues into the confluence page, and not have it ever autoupdate again?


Answers:
author: Renjith Pillai
body: You need to include absolute dates in the JQL query like "`status WAS ``"Resolved"``DURING (``"01/01/2010"``,``"01/01/2011"``)`".

Btw, you need NOT to create a filter everytime, you can use a dynamic JQL in the URL itself. For example:

https://\<\<yourserver\>\>/sr/jira.issueviews:searchrequest-xml/temp/SearchRequest.xml?jqlQuery=project+%3D+ABC+AND+issuetype+%3D+%22Bug%22\&tempMax=1000

And you can get this URL easily from the issue navigator using the [permalink](http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Using+the+Issue+Navigator) icon.

comments: author: Systems Department
body: That is really great, than you Renjith. One follow up question I have:

Using the method outlined above we can make a Confluence page that has the issues that were closed for that time period. However, we would also like to include a list of JIRA issues that were "In Progress" for that week. As issues will change over time from In Progress to closed, this report would not be valid if viewed later.

I see that there is a dropdown in the Confluence Jira plugin that goes from Static to Dynamic. Does this make the report static? ie.. will it not query JIRA every time it is viewed?


author: Renjith Pillai
body: * If you need to get In Progress items, then the JQL will be 'status WAS 'In Progress' during ...'
* AFAIK jiraissues macro queries Jira always whenever the cache period expires.
* Additionally if you don't need to repeat the job every week, you can use the {run} macro for the users to enter two dates, the start and end dates, and include the jiraissues macro using these variables. By this whenever someone needs the reports, they enter two dates, clicks the button and the query output will be displayed.

Bulk label removal
Asked by Tim_Brigham:

I would like to remove a specific label from all pages it is currently applied to. This label is tied to a workflow which is being separated into multiple smaller segments and needs to be removed from many pages in a hurry.

There is apparently not a way to do so via the UI so I am looking into the necessary commands to do so via the SQL interface. We are running a MySQL back end.

It would appear from <http://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=179439242> that all I need to do would be:

select \* from label where name='draft-workflow';

delete from content_label where labelid=\<label id="" from="" above=""\>;

Please verify if there is anything more required to do this.


Answers:
author: Mert Karada?l? _ K?stebek Teknoloji _
body: Hi,

You could do it with Label Manager for Confluence plug in.[](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.kostebekteknoloji.plugins.confluence.confluence-label-manager)<https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.kostebekteknoloji.plugins.confluence.confluence-label-manager>  
You could search for similar labels in a space and then merge them into one standard label.  
You could also do bulk operations like appending , adding and removing labels.  
Documentation is here:[](http://www.confluence.kostebekteknoloji.com/display/PLUG/Label+Manager+for+Confluence)<http://www.confluence.kostebekteknoloji.com/display/PLUG/Label+Manager+for+Confluence>

author: Rodrigo Girardi Adami
body: Hello Tim,

AFAIK, you are in the correct path already. :)

The connection bewteen the pages and labels is the table content_label, so if you remove the offending label from this table, it will remove the page labels as well.

I hope this help. note to perform backups of your database before attempting this type of modification. just my 5 cent ;)

How do I give remove page permissions to all users from a group for all spaces?
Asked by Sorin Sbarnea (Citrix):

I have 40-50 Spaces and for historical reasons, people do not have remove page rights on them.

How can I fix this, without doing too much manual work?

And, how can I change the permissions so the users will have the desired rights by deault?


Answers:
author: Azwandi Mohd Aris
body: You can make use of the Confluence Command Line interface: [https://plugins.atlassian.com/plugins/org.swift.confluence.cli](https://plugins.atlassian.com/plugins/org.swift.confluence.cli.). It is a remote API client - use it in a loop to apply the permission for your groups/users.

The method you will need to use is *addPermissions* , with permission *removepage*. See this for the doc:

<https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/display/CSOAP/Documentation#Documentation-addPermissions>

I'm afraid there is no way to change the default space permission settings for new spaces.

comments: author: Bob Swift (personal)
body: Adding to Azwandi's answer, if you have CLI 2.6.0, it is easy to do for all spaces using something like:

```
confluence --action runFromSpaceList --common "--action addPermissions --space @space@ --permissions REMOVEPAGE --userId xxxxx"
```

or for groups, use --group instead of --userid

You can also look at your permissions via **getSpacePermissionList** - the documentation will be available when 2.6.0 is released (snapshot only right now).


author: Amber Batson
body: When doing runFromSpaceList, is there a way to loop through the groups \& users for each space? I'm trying to make our old wiki read-only for content reference for an upgrade but have 2000+ spaces with all different users..

Team Calendars - Is it Possible to Prevent the Same Resource Being Booked Multiple Times

Error rendering WebPanel (templates/quick-comment-header.vm): No renderer found for resource type: confluence-velocity
Asked by Christian Czaia _Decadis AG_:

Hey everyone,

after an upgrade to Confluence 4.2.1 we encountered the following error showing on top of every page (even on the login page). Seems to be related to the quick comments plugin. Quick comments are not working and if I disable the plugin the message disappears. Any ideas on how I could fix this? We are using refined Wiki if that makes any difference which I doubt...

Thanks in advance,

Christian


Answers:
author: Septa Cahyadiputra
body: Hi Christian,

Please try the following workaround

1. Shutdown Confluence
2. **Please backup your database for safety precaution**
3. Execute the following SQL query
4. SELECT BANDANAVALUE FROM BANDANA WHERE BANDANAKEY = 'plugin.manager.state.Map';
5. Select all, copy and paste the result of the SQL query into your notepad
6. Find the following lines

\<entry\>

\<string\>confluence.web.panel.renderers\</string\>

\<boolean\>false\</boolean\>

\</entry\>

Delete the above lines from your notepad and saved it

Execute the following SQL query

```
UPDATE BANDANA set BANDANAVALUE = '<Put the entire strings from your notepad here>' WHERE BANDANAKEY = 'plugin.manager.state.Map';
```

Restart Confluence

Outlook emails in Confluence
Asked by Rumceisz:

Hi All,

is there a macro/plugin which we can easily embed, copy Outlook emails to Confluence with?

For sure we can simply copy-paste the content of the emails, but it would be much more elegant solution to embed outlook emails in blogs. For instance daily email messages of a project headway.

Can you please suggest?
