Create Confluence page in postfunction
Asked by Tomasz Bry?a:

Hello, I am looking for a way that allows me to create a page in confluence in postfunction and put attachments from the issue in it. I found easy Integrations for Jira [https://confluence.snapbytes.com/display/EI4J/Easy+Integrations+for+JIRA](https://confluence.snapbytes.com/display/EI4J/Easy+Integrations+for+JIRA?)


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hi Tomasz,

You can use an add-on for this, such as [PageMe!](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1212838/pageme-create-pages-from-jira-issues?hosting=server&tab=overview), available for Confluence Server.

Alternatively you might be able to program something to do this, such as [the example available here](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Marketplace-Apps-questions/How-to-automatically-create-a-Confluence-Page-on-Jira-Issue/qaq-p/300772).

Regards,

Shannon

How to figure out who all have created/ editted/ deleted the KB articles on a workspace
Asked by Saritha MV:

Hello Team,

is there any way to figure out who all have created/ editted/ deleted the KB articles from a particular date onwards?

for example, say from 3rd Oct, what are the new articles on the Support KB( my related workspace)?

thanks,

Saritha MV


Answers:
author: AhmadDanial
body: Hello, Saritha.

The default audit log does not contain information specific to pages as mentioned in the [Audit log](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/audit-log-829076528.html).
> The audit log **doesn't** record information directly relating to pages such as page edits (you can see these in the page history) location, or changes to page restrictions.

I tried to look for third-party add-ons but the ones I came across focus only on spaces rather than specific pages. An option that you can consider is to enable access logging on Confluence as mentioned in the [How to Enable User Access Logging](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-enable-user-access-logging-182943.html), specifically to capture all access through the snippet:

    <filter-mapping>   <filter-name>AccessLogFilter</filter-name>   <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern></filter-mapping>

From there, you will have to filter for the actions performed on Confluence. It is very verbose, mind you. So, you will have to filter it to only display the information you need.

One of the best way to understand the logging is to try it tail -f the $confluence_home/log/atlassian-confluence.log after it is enabled so you can get a full picture of action (create / edit / delete).
Is Atlassian Cloud and Confluence Cloud the same?
Asked by Jeremy Elias D?hling:

Hello there!

We\`re thinking about the movement from confluence server to confluence cloud. We checked the differences between both [here](https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloudkb/atlassian-cloud-vs-server-features-and-use-cases-691011844.html) and read that the directory integration is only available from G Suite and not from AD.

So we searched for other options and found this [documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/saas-apps/atlassian-cloud-tutorial). There you can read that it is possible to integrate AD in Atlassian Cloud, but does Atlassian Cloud and Confluence Cloud mean the same?

Thanks in Advance!


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: No, they are not the same.

Atlassian Cloud is a service you buy from Atlassian. When you do, you can choose what Applications to use within that service. Confluence Cloud is one of the Applications (Jira Core, Software, and Service Desk, as well as Access, Bitbucket and others are available too)

comments: author: Jeremy Elias D?hling
body: Thanks for your answer.

Do you know whether you can integrate the AD to Confluence Cloud? The integration to Atlassian Cloud seems to be available.

Best regards

How do anonymous users logs to read from Confluence server?
Asked by Amiram Fuerst:

We have a Confluence server in our company.

We want to save money and have some employees read only access to some spaces, without paying as active users.

If i define anonymous access, how do these users log in to read documents?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: They don't. Anonymous access means "show pages to anyone who has **not** logged in".

comments: author: Amiram Fuerst
body: So how do they see the content?


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: I suspect I don't understand the question, but my instinctive answer is "they put the url for the page they want to read in their browser"
Edit in Office - In Chrome
Asked by Steve Hastings:

Hi Guys. Can someone tell me please how to find the Office Connector in global and space settings. I have admin rights.I'm using the {Word macro to insert a document but there is no option to Edit In Office. Many thanks! Steve


Answers:

Confluence Cloud no longer uses Office Connector and now has the Companion App in order to edit office files.

Have a look below:

See [Administering the Atlassian Companion app](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/administering-the-atlassian-companion-app-958456281.html) for details.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Shannon

comments: author: Steve Hastings
body: Thank you very much Shannon for your help! The office connector was mentioned in the official Atlassian confluence training courses...which also show the old UI and a number of other outdated items. Some of this old material has lead to delays and confusion for me, perhaps something I need to take up with the Atlassian University people.

Thanks, Steve


author: Shannon S
body: Steve,

No problem! Happy to help.

I believe you can contact the University team via the Service Desk Customer Portal at the bottom of the page (linked as [Contact Us](https://getsupport.atlassian.com/servicedesk/customer/portal/9)). I'm linking that here to make things easier for you.

If you find any errors due to the training materials being out of date you can feel free to share that with them there.

Answers:
author: Daniel Eads
body: Hi Huong,

You can generate a quote on your own at [atlassian.com/purchase](https://www.atlassian.com/purchase/) - this is probably a good option for you since you already know what license count you need and the plugins you want.

Alternatively you can raise a ticket with our Customer Advocate team at [atlassian.com/company/contact](https://www.atlassian.com/company/contact) - they'd be happy to generate a quote on your behalf or answer questions about a quote you've generated yourself.

Checking at the [list of partners in Vietnam](https://www.atlassian.com/partners/search?page=1&locations=Vietnam), I see Candylio listed. Their website confirms they are based out of H? Ch? Minh. Hope that helps!

Cheers,  
Daniel

The page you're referring to in your screenshot does show a history of recently visited pages (as it should)

However the option to insert a link to a recently viewed page while in edit mode is broken since a few days now, which is extremely frustrating because it breaks my workflow

Confluence, Shortcode to display current user logged in

you can use the [User List Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf65/user-list-macro-939701331.html) for showing who is online - but that only depends on group membership.

Or do you want to show who is working on the current page? In Confluence you there is the possibiliy of [Collaborative Editing](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/collaborative-editing-858771779.html). Up to 12 people can edit the same page at the same time.

Hope this helps

you will always see the profile pic of the currently logged in user on the top right corner.

Wouldn't it be easier if the people would just log out or to give them anonymous access?

The following link will help you to get a list of all space administrators for all spaces by executing the SQL queries directly against the database. If you don't have permission to execute the database queries on database level as this is a Cloud instance. You can achieve this by creating a user macro by following the below article.

Confluence REST API to get page workflow status

As an example, this confluence article is "approved",

Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Confluence does not have workflow natively, so I suspect you've added Comala Workflows to your system. You'll need to use the REST API for that - see <https://wiki.comalatech.com/display/CWL/REST+API>

Does upgrading Confluence from 6.52 to 6.12 also upgrade PostgresSQL?
Asked by David Dellinger:

We're running Confluence 6.5.2 and I see from the View System Information, and "postgressql --version", we are using PostgresSQL 8.4.20 for our Confluence instance.

Does the upgrade to Confluence 6.12 also upgrade the PostgresSQL to something newer? If the PostgresSQL upgrade is not included, what version of PostgresSQL should I use, and where is best to get the updated version?

I didn't install the original Confluence. It says we've been using it since October 24, 2006.

Thanks

David


Answers:

No, Database will not be updated together with Confluence. System administrators are free to use any Supported DB vendor and version and are responsible for updating it themselves. In terms of supportability, you can refer to [Supported Platforms](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/supported-platforms-207488198.html) list for supported DB versions, latest for Postgres would be 9.6.

The LiveSearch Macro auto suggests results that aren't in the selected labels
Asked by William Wynn:

The LiveSearch macro shows suggestions while the user is typing. These suggestions DO NOT follow the label filters defined in the macro.

I would rather have no suggestions at all, than having suggestions that are incorrect.

If the users clicks to view all results, that page shows the correct results, however most users do not do this nor do they know how to do this. Most users just see the wrong search results.

Is there a way around this broken search box?


Answers:
author: William Wynn
body: After messing around, I found the answer:

The "Restrict to labels" option must have a command AND a space between the labels or it doesn't work. Go figure.

![2018-10-08 13_05_53-Edit - Support Decision Tree - CartRover Documentation.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/34332i7BD712521E99FD61/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "2018-10-08 13_05_53-Edit - Support Decision Tree - CartRover Documentation.png")

Once you add the space AND comma, it will work. However it works sort of as an "OR" filter, not an "AND" filter. If the user actually clicks to go to the full search screen, it searches as an AND filter, but the auto suggestions will often display results not belonging to all tags. This may be an indexing issue with the auto suggestions.
