How admins can view pages and attachments even if restricted?
Asked by Sebastien Ribiere:

Hello,

We have problems with our 90 GB confluence cloud instance, and we have to find where space is used. So we developed a script which will get each attachment of each space and give us a view of where the space is used.

But we saw that this script has a flaw : even if I am site-admin, I can't view attachments in restricted pages.

There are almost 20 GB I can't tell where it is used because of this problem.

How can I bypass this restriction as a site-admin?


Answers:
author: Niclas Sandstroem
body: You need to add yourself to the restriction. https://docs.atlassian.com/confluence/REST/latest/#content/{id}/restriction

The same applies when manually viewing pages as admin.

Good luck!

Confluence sidebar is global - how to show pagetree?
Asked by eckhard_schneider:

In one of my confluence-cloud sites, the sidebar today has changed such that it is global. Instead of the configurable sidebar, showing a pagetree, it shows the same list of spaces everywhere on the site. There seems no obvious way to configure the sidebar anymore.

There was an informational tool tip which I closed without reading (yes, sorry), and I would like to switch back to the user friendly side bar I had before. Any tipps on how to accomplish this?


Answers:
author: Martin Sauter
body: It looks like Atlassian has changed the UI of Confluence Cloud again. At least on my instance the page tree was reverted to the old one today, and the new extra sidebar (where you switch between spaces) has been replaced by a dropdown menu. Plus there is a completely new homepage.

This is GREAT! This brings back the old user experience, which was extremely fast and uncluttered. And it adds some improvements in a very unobstrusive way.


author: eckhard_schneider
body: Hi Romina,

I did not find a way to bring it back the same way it was before, but apparently the new solution is not as bad as it seemed in the first place:

* when selecting a space, I see a sidebar (without page tree) and the space home page
* when clicking into one of the pages, the sidebar chages: on the left the space sidebar is collapsed to icons. Then a new sidebar with pagetree appears. On the right the content page appears.

So I can cope with this - does this work for you as well?

comments: author: Romina Campos
body: I mean, it is still kind of "complicated" because if you need to get to page "x" you have to choose the space from the sidebar (onclick), then click on the Pages Tab (two clicks) and only then is the page tree available to start looking for the actual page you need.   
Most of our users work in only one space so these extra clicks do nothing for them, plus the new double sidebar only consumes viewing space.

So yeah, we still miss the old navigation :smile:


author: Martin Sauter
body: Same here -- we absolutely miss the old navigation (which was considerably faster by the way)...


author: Romina Campos
body: Hi! I have the exact same problem. Did you figure out a way to bring back the old sidebar?

comments: author: Martin Sauter
body: As far as I know there is no way to bring it back. But if I'm wrong I'd be very happy to learn how to do it!


author: James Dellow
body: Can you post some screenshots of what you are seeing?

Why does Confluence say I don't have permission to view pages when i'm Admin?
Asked by Cameron Smith:


Answers:
author: Rodney Hughes
body: They may have set Page View Restrictions without you on the list of allowed viewers


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Probably because you don't have permission to view them.

Admin gives you admin rights (including the ability to change permissions). It does not mean "can see everything", as that's a very poor permissions model. If you want to see a page, you must meet the rules the space and page have set on them (those rules could, of course, include "if admin", but they don't have to)

Can I embed a single HipChat room in a Confluence Space?
Asked by Penny Longman:

I want to be able to have a specific HipChat room accessible in a specific confluence space. All users with access to the Space would have associated HipChat accounts. We want to be able to chat in this room on the confluence main page related to the topic, but also be able to see the chats in our hipchat.


Answers:
author: crivers
body: Embedding HipChat like you describe isn't supported by the integration framework. At best, embedding can be done via [guest access](https://confluence.atlassian.com/hipchat/guest-access-740001159.html) (putting a guest access URL in an iframe), but that doesn't allow your users to access via their "real" HipChat accounts. The [HipChat Confluence integration](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/use-hipchat-and-confluence-together-678561679.html) allows you to receive notifications from a specific Confluence space and see user presence in Confluence among other things, but isn't designed for "linking" a room with a space like you're looking for.

It sounds like your suggestion could have some interesting uses though and we always appreciate feedback and suggestions about how we can improve the integrations with other Atlassian products. If you go to <https://support.atlassian.com/help//hipchat/> you can file a suggestion so other users can watch/vote/comment on it.

why is confluence so slow
Asked by Tom Nash:

I've always noticed that Confluence (hosted not self hosted/local) is very slow loading pages here in the US. We have a decent internet connection and I only see this lag with Confluence. Just going from page to page.


Answers:
author: Martin Sauter
body: According to my experience there are two answers to this:

1. Confluence Cloud is hosted on Amazon Web Services, and they experienced a major problem recently.
2. Atlassian rolled out an update for Confluence Cloud which includes a collaborative editing plus a new sidebar among other things. This update made Confluence considerably slower, it takes around 10 seconds to load a page including the page tree completely (which for me as a heavy user is absolutely unacceptable).


author: Cam Fortin
body: Confluence has been incredibly slow since the update for us too...PLEASE FIX ATLASSIAN!

Glossary quick populate
Asked by Troy Parry:

Is there a way to Populate a Glossary from a Spreadsheet, table or csv file?

Thanks.


Answers:
author: Troy Parry
body: Sandy,

this looks great.   
We are using the Glossary Plugin and I am hoping there is a similar Excell upload that we can do.  
Do you know of any way to do an upload of Glossary terms into the Glossary Plugin?

Thanks.

Troy


author: Sandy Johnson
body: Hi Troy

I use a spreadsheet to populate my glossary in Confluence. The glossary uses the expand macro so that you can click on the word to see the definition (see the first screen shot below). Example hereimage2017-3-1 16:23:48.png

To populate the glossary I use a spreadsheet with 3 columns Term, Definition and Layout. Example here

image2017-3-1 16:26:4.png

The layout column is a formula that formats the expand macro using the information from te 2 columns to the left. The formula is

="{expand:title="\&B3\&"}"\&CHAR(10)\&"{quote}"\&CHAR(10)\&C3\&CHAR(10)\&"{quote}"\&CHAR(10)\&"{expand}"

In this example, the above formula goes in cell D3 and you can copy it down to as many terms as you like.

To get the glossary into Confluence, I next copy all the cells in column D into Notepad shown here

image2017-3-1 16:31:31.png

Excel adds double quotes to the beginning and end of each line (term) so those need to be removed. Once done, I simply copy those line my Confluence page using the Insert Markup choice and I'm done.

image2017-3-1 16:33:59.png

Hope this helps.

Thanks, Sandy

Answers:
author: Amelie Wisniak
body: @James Dellow I don't have the same exact property fields, there is at least a difference (eg. Target release). However, if I read you correctly I should have content other than the table with the target release into the property macro?


author: James Dellow
body: Do you have a multiple page property macros containing the exact same property fields?

e.g. two or more "Target release" fields on the same page?

If that's the case, I think the report will only show the first set it encounters. You see the same thing if you place a table with more than two rows into the page property macro - you'll only see the first row of data in the report. You need to seperate them into different pages.

Confluence license update
Asked by Matthew Drozdz:

We are in the process of upgrading Confluence from 5.8.18 to 5.10.8. We have done this in development and noticed that once the upgrade was complete that the license had to be updated. The license is not expired and once i update the license i have to restart confluence. Is this a normal process for having to update the license each time? I tried to update the license beforehand to see if i wouldn't have to update it after the upgrade, but that didn't seem to work either. Is there another way to do this?


Answers:
author: Niclas Sandstroem

Confluence with Service Desk
Asked by Alex Engler:

I have a JIRA service desk 3.3.0 installation on JIRA core 7.3.0 and Confluence 5.10.7. I have OAuth application links between JIRA service desk and confluence and I have linked a confluence space to a service desk project. Both the JIRA and Confluence applications are hosted on the same server.

I want to be able to serve up a knowledge base article to my service desk users when they search for a request type and allow the user to access the article. Currently, the article is searched and presented when a user searches for a request type. The problem is that confluence wont show the contents of the article unless the user logs in again into confluence.

JIRA authenticates through AD and confluence uses JIRA for authentication. All users are managed in JIRA. I have turned off anonymous access to confluence because my service desk extends outside my firewall and I don't want the entire Internet community to have access to company policy and procedures.

Even with anonymous access turned off, JIRA can see confluence spaces to connect projects to, so it seems the OAuth linking is working. What I would like is when a logged in JIRA user searches for a request type and a knowledge base article is served up from confluence, the user would have access to the article without having to log into confluence with their JIRA credentials.

Any help would be appreciated.
