Like to try this in version 5.8.9
Asked by License Manager Stratech:

Like to try this in version 5.8.9


Answers:
author: Giuliano C.
body: Hi Chander,

As the add-on is developed by a third-party vendor, definitely asking to have it working properly with the latest versions of Confluence is a good option. However, to be sure if the add-on would work, you can try to test it with your Confluence. If it works properly, we could be in another case that we need to update the Matrix for the versions of the add-ons in the Marketplace. :smile:

Cheers,

Giu

@License Manager Stratech was referring to <https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/org.echocat.adam> add-on where the last version of confluence its supported is 5.7.4

My jira wallboard for Confluence working
Asked by Peter Smedegaard Andersen:

Hi

We are running the Confluence Cloud version and have since the upgrade not been able to see our wallboards from JIRA represented in Confluence.

The load bar just seems to go on forever.

Can't seem to find a fix


Answers:
author: Abdoulaye Kindy Diallo
body: This behavior should be due to this bug: <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-44945> where Confluence is having trouble contacting JIRA whenever an action to fetch JIRA information is required.

We expect the fix to be rolled out by tonight.

Has anyone gotten HipGuru to work with Questions inside of Confluence Cloud?
Asked by Trevor Vaughan:

Hi All,

I installed the HipGuru plugin in HipChat and pointed it to my Questions page inside of Confluence. I'm not getting any errors, but the plugin is not returning any information either.

If anyone has any advice, it would be most welcome.


Answers:
author: samurai
body: Hi Trevor,

Your confluence server must be accessible from Hipchat server. If you are using Hipchat server in the cloud, then you Confluence questions should be accessible in the cloud as well and with anonymous access (no authentication) as per instructions in the marketplace Hipguru add-on page or in the add-on configuration page in Hipchat server.

Your firewall could be blocking the access as well.

comments: author: Trevor Vaughan
body: Well, I feel slightly ridiculous. Indeed, the default permissions for Questions (unlike everything else in Confluence) is private instead of public.I suppose checking in an unauthenticated manner would make sense.


author: samurai
body: Glad you have figured out - I will update the HipGuru configuration page about using a private Confluence Questions server in the next release.Were you still able to use it ? Is there any feature that you would like to see or get enhanced ?


author: Trevor Vaughan
body: Well, the page is now 100% public but /ask \<whatever\> still isn't returning anything. No errors, just...nothing. I'll definitely provide feedback once I can figure out what's going wrong but it looks pretty good on the outside.


author: samurai
body: Trevor, I will have some time next week to investigate your problem. You can send me your Confluence URL for testing if you want, to esoares@atlassian.com.


author: Trevor Vaughan
body: Hi Eduardo, my Confluence URL is <https://simp-project.atlassian.net/wiki/display/SD/questions>Thanks!


author: samurai
body: Hi Trevor, I detected an issue running HipGuru against a fresh Confluence Cloud instance which uses a newer version of Confluence Questions v2.x. I fixed the problem but haven't deployed it to Production yet. You can follow the progress in <https://bitbucket.org/eduardo_soares/hipguru/issues/2/configuring-hipguru-with-private>.


author: samurai
body: Hipguru is updated with the fix in Production.


author: samurai
body: Bear in mind that you also need to make sure that both Confluence and Confluence Questions have anonymous view access:

* In administration/Confluence Questions/Permissions, give anonymous the view permission
* In administration/Users \& Security/Global Permissions, allow anonymous to use Confluence

Confluence authentication support is in the queue: <https://bitbucket.org/eduardo_soares/hipguru/issues/3/implement-authentication-support-for>

Import yEd diagrams into draw.io
Asked by Thomas Schlegel:

Hi,

is it possible to import yEd diagrams into draw.io for further editing (not as jpg or svg or something like that)? Possible export formats of yEd are

* graphml
* graphmlz
* ygf
* gml
* xgmx
* tgf

Thank you

Thomas

anything new on this issue? We are really really waiting for these importers.

Is there a JIRA issue for this where I can register as watcher?

Thank you

comments: author: David Benson _draw_io_

Thanks!


author: David Benson _draw_io_
body: The first problem here is we have a GraphML importer, but yEd isn't standard GraphML. The second issue is that feature request are done by the vote count at <https://draw.uservoice.com/forums/266072-feature-requests/suggestions/6449673-import-export-the-graphml-format> and the item needs more votes to get into the short term todo.

Page break macro does not work when using sections
Asked by Ren? van Hees:

Hello,

I made a cockpit in Confluence and use multiple page layout/sections to align the information. Now I want to print the cockpit to PDF. To control the page breaks in the PDF I use the page-break macro. I use the browsers print option - and not the 'export to PDF' since this does not work when using JIRA-gadgets. Also other suggestions mentioned in the Atlassian answers section do not work (HTML embed).

The usecase to reproduce the problem is depicted below:

prb1.png

Besides a disturbed layout after saving, the printout is just a single page.

Does anybody know a solution / workaround for this?

Thanks,

Ren?

Answers:
author: Ren? van Hees
body: When inspecting the HTML sourcecode I replace the \<div id="pagebreak" style="page-break-before:always;"\>\</div\> statement between the columnlayout class and then it works. So it seems that page-breaks embedded in the \<div class="columnLayout"\> \< /div\> section do NOT work.

So that brings me to the question: how do I embed a page-break between these sections while using the editor?


author: Milo Test
body: Are you sure the capitalization of "Pagebreak" is the same between the macro and the CSS?

comments: author: Ren? van Hees
body: I'll ask the tool admin to check this.But if I replace the macro with \<div id="pagebreak" style="page-break-before:always;"\>\</div\> using the HTML macro in my page it does not work.

Confluence LDAP import user and groups
Asked by Jens G?hmann:

Hello, i'm quite new to confluence and tried to import some users from my active directory. Connection is ok and users and groups are imported correctly, but i want to filter only special users. i have 5 users and 2 groups i want to import. 1 user is in both groups. i tried everything on the additional group and user section, but only get 1 group or 1 user. perhaps someone can advise me. thanks in advance.


Answers:
author: Luiz Maia
body: Hello there,

You probably have a different hierarchy on your LDAP, in that case you should write LDAP Search Filters to be able to determine the scope of groups and users to be synchronised.

Please refer to [this documentation](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DEV/How+to+write+LDAP+search+filters) for instructions on writing LDAP Filters.

Thanks!

You are not allowed to remove all the Administration Permissions for this space
Asked by Jacques:

Hello,

Only recently we started to use Confluence. As an unexperienced user I had set the Global Space Permissions so that the group "*confluence-users* " has *Space Export* and *Space Admin* permissions.

I now want to remove these permissions for any newly created spaces.

When I try to do this in the global Space Admin (*/admin/permissions/doeditdefaultspacepermissions.action*) I get the following error:

image2015-8-26 8:0:13.png

Reading [some documentation](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/global-permissions-overview-138709.html) about this I had understood that I had to remove this specific security setting in each individual existing Space before I can change this global security setting.

As a Confluence Administrator I have checked all existing Spaces and have removed this *Space Expor* t and *Space Admin* permissions from the *confluence-users* group.

When trying to remove these default permissions again I get the exact same error message.

Anyone has a suggestion what I can try/do next to get these global security settings changed?

Thanks!  
Jacques.

Answers:
author: Jacques
body: I have just solved my own question!

The problem I was facing is that I only had the *confluence-users* group with the permission to administer spaces. I realized that I had to add the *confluence-administrators* group first and then remove the *confluence-users* group permissions!

I'll leave it up here so you don't make the same mistake I made :smile:

Confluence REST API acting like Waldo
Asked by joseph nguyen:

My confluence instance does NOT use the Context "confluence"

I made sure that XML RPC was enabled in my administration console, however this URL does not work:

"<http://my_host/confluence/rest/api/content/123456789?status=any>" and the same URL with out the status=any, still to no avail. ![sad](/html/@C495B4504065515364EB1894F812B34C/images/emoticons/sad.png "sad")

I tried this on the command line and in a browser tab where I had logged in to confluence. I am using Confluence 5.0.3. Please help.

Thank you for your time.


Answers:
author: joseph nguyen
body: Thanks Stephen! This was helpful. I modified my URL based off of your comment and I was able to perform a REST call using this: [http://myhost.com/rest/prototype/1/content/123456789](http://myhost.com:8080/confluence/rest/prototype/1/content/123456789)

I will take a look at the XML-RPC API. On a side note, did you ever work for a company called Avega (name sound familiar)?

comments: author: Stephen Deutsch
body: No, I never did, and it doesn't really sound familiar... sorry :(


author: Stephen Deutsch
body: Hi Joseph,

Unfortunately you are trying to use the new REST API, which is only active in Confluence 5.5 or higher. You will instead have to use the prototype REST API as documented here: <https://docs.atlassian.com/confluence/REST/5.0.3/>

The proper URL to get what you want then would be similar to: http://myhost.com:8080/confluence/rest/prototype/1/content/123456789

Be aware that the prototype REST API is read only. If you want to do write functions, you will have to use the XML-RPC API, which is a little different.

How do I remove tabs from the dashboard?
Asked by Spencer Thew:

On the dashboard menu for my Confluence site, all I want to be able to see is the list of spaces. I don't want a list of popular, recently updated of Favorited pages. Is there a way to remove that section, leaving only the welcome message and the Space list?

the only relevant page I could fine seemed to be referring to several removed features, and had a link to a page that wasn't there anymore.


Answers:
author: Taha Khanzada

comments: author: Spencer Thew
body: That link goes to a page wherein the relevant section refers to a nonexistant feature, with a link to nonexistant pages.


author: Taha Khanzada
body: But that is just for reference, in short to Disable the 'Popular' tab on the dashboard you need to go to "Manage Addon" --\> Select System Plugin --\> Search for "Dashboard Macros" then choose Manage plugin modules and disable the Popular Tab module.


author: Spencer Thew
body: Okay, did that, and it tells me every single one of those plugins cannot be modified

You can refer this for restricted functionality - <https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/restricted-functions-in-confluence-cloud-734070955.html>You can contact Atlassian Support and ask if they can disable these tabs

Using anonymous access, you'll not be able monitor, for example, who is creating/updating a page, and you also cannot mention users on certain pages, or assign tasks to a specific user.

Using JIRA macro inside User Macro

We wanted to utilize Atlassian Cloud for a confluence centric customer facing website. However plugin support, specifically "Confiforms" or any 3rd party forms software is not supported that we can tell. Why is this?
Asked by David Porter:


Answers:
author: Luiz Maia
body: Hi David,

The "Confiforms" plugin, specifically, I can tell you that is not available for Cloud instances.

Any third party plugin is not supported by Atlassian, however, most of the vendors of these plugins offer support for it.

You can confirm if a plugin is whether supported or not in the plugin page on market place, through the "Supported" or "Unsupported" icon.

Regards,  
LM


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Atlassian Cloud support limit their support to addons that they are trained on and willing to support. They don't have the resources to be able to guarantee stability and support on a system where users can install everything they feel like. (There's a balance here between cost and flexibility too - the more you allow, the more expensive it's going to be to support it)


author: Nick Muldoon
body: Hi David,

As you're looking to use Confluence Cloud for a customer facing website I thought you may be interested in [Instant Websites for Confluence Cloud](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/instant-websites). It allows you to take a Confluence space and publish that to a fast, mobile responsive website hosted on Amazon Web Services.

Here is an example of [our product documentation](http://docs.arijea.com/documentation/redaction/redaction-for-confluence-user-guide/).

If you have any questions I'm happy to hop on the phone and explore further.

Thanks David, have a great week,  
Nick Muldoon ([@njm](https://twitter.com/njm))  
[Arijea](http://arijea.com)


author: David Porter
body: I understand your response. Sounds like forms usage is just not a feature/area you have expanded in your cloud offering in the near term.

We will focus our effort then on our server instance to build this functionality.

Thanks
