Code block macro issue in PDF export in Confluence Cloud non Latin characters
Asked by Aleksandr Paren:

Hello.

I am using Confluence cloud. And I mentioned that the [bug](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-57543) with exporting Russian characters in block code macro applies not only Russian language. This is also for languages with non Latin characters. I think Low priority for this task is not so good, and issues has to be fixed. What is the chance that issue will be fixed in nearest time?

Answers:
author: Thomas Rough _K15t_
body: Hi Alexander,

Had you considered using Scroll PDF Exporter whilst this issue is being dealt with?

Our app will allow you to export the non-latin characters (such as Russian) contained within the code block macro to your required PDF format.

You can then also apply styling to the rest of your document, so that the exported PDF has the look and feel you desire.

If you are interested, you can learn more about our app [here](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.k15t.scroll.scroll-pdf/server/overview) and can also start a free trial.

I hope this information helps. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us if you have any further questions.

Thanks, Thomas (K15t Software)

comments: author: Aleksandr Paren
body: Hi Thomas thank you for your advice for yours developed macro, yes it would be OK for me as a technical writer, but unfortunately I ca not use it because 2018 year budget for Confluence Cloud license and plugins already applied my company managers and it is not possible to buy the plugin for 200+ users right now, maybe I will back for this question about Scroll PDF at the end of the year.

Thanks, Alex.

How can I access the full-page / advanced search directly? (no use of search bar in header)
Asked by Markus Raab:

Do you have any idea how to reach this search page directly?

Without using the quick search in the header

Without the error message "Oops, something went wrong..."

It will always show that error message if there is no search term, otherwise you'll have to do something like this:

*CONFLUENCE-BAESE/dosearchsite.action?queryString=confluence*

I have created a feature request below for your suggestion, so please vote on it and comment there with your usage case, and why this would be important for your team.

comments: author: Markus Raab
body: Hi!

voted for it and added my opinion about it that explains the situation.

It's probably not something that gets found that easily by others, thus it probably would take years to receive enough votes. Can I do anything to push it a bit? It's such a little thing (actually).

Markus


author: Shannon S
body: Markus,

I do believe it's something that users see every day but haven't been bothered too much by it enough to request a change. Probably now that there's a feature request it will get more votes if there are users that want to change the behavior.

Alert for Scheduled job
Asked by Aiswarya Unnikrishnan:

Hi Team,

Could you please let us know whether we could set alerts for scheduled job in Confluence. Our requirement is that, on each day confluence users are increasing. We would like to get an alert from Confluence to know whether it reached the limit or how many more to reach the limit.


Answers:
author: AnnWorley
body: Confluence doesn't have a built in monitoring/alert system for scheduled jobs or license count.

Please look into a web monitoring tool. It should be possible to set up an alert based on the "Licensed users" value on the \<Confluence_Base_URL\>/admin/license.action page.

Loss of focus when creating a macro with firefox 57.0
Asked by Peter_Muellner:

This bug occurs when creating a macro while using Firefox Quantum (v. 57.0).

This are the steps to reproduce the habbit:

situation: i'm in edit mode and editing a confluence page

1. create a macro (+ -\> macro)

2. insert content into your macro, i.e choose from a dropdown menu or write some text in the shown modal.

3. try to save and press Return (Enter).

4. Not everytime, but it occurs that the input won't be saved and the modal exits without saving. Cursor jumps to the top of the page.

Neither Chrome or Internet Explorer (latest versions) do have this issue.

Help is appreciated since this is a major problem for a good workflow.


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hi Peter,

I'm trying to follow your steps to replicate the issue, but I'm having a bit of trouble.

I'm in Confluence 6.7.0, and it sounds like you're encountering the issue when creating a User Macro, but to do this, you do it through ![](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/files/747833194/747833195/2/1517274813281/cog.png) \> **General Configuration** \> **User Macros**.

In your description it sounds like you're inserting an existing macro, so do you mind sharing a video of how you are replicating the problem?

You can use something such as [Screencast-O-Matic](https://screencast-o-matic.com/) to share that with me.

Thank you for your help!

Confluence: Use Task Report Macro in Blueprint and filter for tasks on the created page.
Asked by Timo Peters:

Hi,

in Confluence I am customizing the Meeting Notes Blueprint (<https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf510/meeting-notes-blueprint-829077401.html>).  
Instead of the Action Points List at its bottom I want to integrate the Task Report Macro ([https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/task-report-macro-590260009.html).](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/task-report-macro-590260009.html).?)  
The macro should filter on all tasks from the Discussion Items Table on the Meeting Notes Page that is created by this Blueprint.

However, I am new to Confluence and I cannot figure out how to set the Task Report Macro's Space(s) and Page(s) filter to dynamically filter for the page created by this Blueprint.  

Ist there an easy way to achieve this?

Many thanks in advance


Answers:
author: Jeannine Stuzka
body: I am trying to do something similar, and am still seeking the answer. So, this is not an answer but another vote for better ease of use with templates.

The Attachment Table macro uses "@self" to specify whatever space the macro is in. Would it possible to do something like this for the Task Report and the Content Report? It is very difficult to use these two macros in a template when the Space parameter has to be changed/specified each time.

Configure access to Confluence & Jira from outside
Asked by neurostatus-uhbs:

Hi everyone,  
I am completly new to Confluence \& Jira. I have installed both on our own Server and installed MySQL 5.7.  
Now I need to configure access to both trought our Browser.  
I have 3 users who can access through the internal network, but one user who has to access from outside.  

I have a server with Apache Reverse Proxy on the DMZ, that is used to access another application, and where I could configure access to Confluence \& Jira, if I would know how ;-)

I would appreciate any help on this.

Thank you very much!  
Erika


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hi Erika,

This really depends on your server and network setup itself, so I would recommend that you contact your server and network administrators for information on how to set that up.

Once you have a domain set up for access, you can configure the base URL in Confluence and Jira

* [Jira: Configuring the Server Base URL](https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/configuring-the-base-url-938847830.html)
* [Confluence: Configuring the Server Base URL](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/configuring-the-server-base-url-148592.html)

If you plan to use SSL, you will also find this information useful:

* [Running JIRA applications over SSL or HTTPS](https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/running-jira-applications-over-ssl-or-https-938847764.html)

* [Configuring Web Proxy Support for Confluence](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/configuring-web-proxy-support-for-confluence-117068.html)

I also noticed this line in the 2nd article, which may be relevant to your case:
> Some of Confluence's macros, such as {rss} and {jiraissues} need to make web requests to remote servers in order to retrieve data. If Confluence is deployed within a data centre or DMZ, it may not be able to access the Internet directly to make these requests. If you find that the {rss} macro does not work, ask your network administrator if Confluence needs to access the Internet through a web proxy.

I hope that helps but if you have any questions, please let us know.

Is there a simple way to automatcially import content from a media wiki into confluence 5.9?
Asked by Peter_Steven_Price:

Firstly I am not a PC developer and most of what was sain on the REST API's is a foreign language to me.

We have a Wiki in MediaWiki Locally and Corporate have Confluence (version 5.9).

I need to be able to rapidly migrate the page content (not bothered initially about embeded files or images) into a space on Confluence without having to cut n paste thousands of pages.

The only PC languages I have anykind of familiaity with is Visual Basic (but I have used very simple PHP before)

Any help gratefully received.


Answers:
author: Suren Raj
body: Hi, Peter.  

By default, Confluence does not have a method to have the Mediawiki content directly imported into the site, or, other external Wiki applications. However, we do have a suggestion/feature request to have a tool for the import, bundled with Confluence:

\* <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-38563>

In which you can not only vote but, also share your thoughts through comments, so other users and developers can look at this as well.

We could find a tool that would allow you to convert MediaWiki to a format Confluence Server 5.9 could use:

\* <https://comtronic.com.au/how-to-migrate-pages-from-mediawiki-to-confluence/>

Hope it helps.

Combine multiple Regular Expressions in Attachment macro
Asked by Lars Swart:

Hi, I have a attachment macro and want some files NOT displayed.

I have 3 regular expressions that work fine if I use every one of them alone

\^((?!.\*\[Ss\]\[Dd\]\[Ss\]\*.\*).)\*$,

\^((?!\[Ee\]\[Ss\].\*).)\*$,

\^((?!\[Ss\]pec.\*).)\*$

I combined them in one and that didnt work because of the "$" - it says here ist the end of the expression.

So I came up with

\^((?!.\*\[Ss\]\[Dd\]\[Ss\]\*.\*).)\*, \^((?!\[Ee\]\[Ss\].\*).)\*, \^((?!\[Ss\]pec.\*).)\*$

Still not working.

I think the comma is used as a (text1\|text2) OR expression in the background. I don't know.

Any ideas?


Answers:
author: Andrey Khaneev _StiltSoft_
body: Hi Lars,

The expression should look like this:

\^((?=(?!.\*\[Ss\]\[Dd\]\[Ss\]\*.\*))(?=(?!\[Ee\]\[Ss\].\*))(?=(?!\[Ss\]pec.\*)).)\*$

comments: author: Lars Swart
body: Thank you for your very fast solution :) You made my day.


author: Andrey Khaneev _StiltSoft_
body: You are welcome, Lars!


author: Lars Swart
body: I recognized a small problem.

I have these two files which are not listed:

* Information_questionnaire_ecolabel_declaration_raw_materials_Jungbunzlauer_en_150828.pdf
* Statement_questionnaire_ecolabel_declaration_raw_materials_Jungbunzlauer_en_150828.pdf

It is because of the **(?=(?!\[Ee\]\[Ss\].\*)**part.

It recognizes the **es** in the middle of "qu**es**tionnaire". I thought the filter says that the word must start with \[Ee\]\[Ss\].

What would be the correct syntax to filter es\* at the start of a filename?


author: Lars Swart
body: I am not good at these...but after reading parts of this thread: [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/406230/regular-expression-to-match-a-line-that-doesnt-contain-a-word](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/406230/regular-expression-to-match-a-line-that-doesnt-contain-a-word?)

I added a point at the end (.\*$)

here the complete regex:

\^((?=(?!.\*\[Ss\]\[Dd\]\[Ss\]\*.\*))(?=(?!\[Ee\]\[Ss\].\*))(?=(?!\[Ss\]pec.\*)).)**.**\*$

for this special case the solution works. but I'm not quite sure if it fits every situation.

Confluence 6.2/Oracle : which database table contains content of Confluence pages
Asked by Rafal Sojka:

Hi,

Do you know if this is possible to identify the database table name in which the content of all pages is stored ? We would like to implement application that connects with Confluence database in read-only mode (in this case it is Oracle,) and retrieve the content of a few pages for further analysis.

Thank you for help,  
Rafal


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: The table is Bodycontent, but you really do not want to do this.

To make sense of the content, you're going to have to write a parser to read and interpret the content into something you can read and analyse properly.

If you do this the right way, instead of SQL, it will be far easier - use REST to get the content.

comments: author: Rafal Sojka
body: Thank you Nic, I think you are right and we should switch to REST. Do you know if there is any document showing how to get a page content using REST ?

Activate context search
Asked by Arbit Support:

So I have noticed that when a user searches confluence and gets a result, clicking on the result does not transport the user to the line where the wanted text is.

View mode when editing a page
Asked by Metin Barhanko:

When editing a page there seems to be two different views.

Default is the hierarchy page shows details of frames etc and not user friendly when editing just simple text.

Second one is that the page in edit mode keeps it's normal view but is in edit mode. This view is much more powerful when editing a page in meetings with others.

The problem is that I haven't found how to change the page view in editing mode.


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: There are two editing modes in Confluence 6, but they're not what you describe, and you can only use one at a time - there's a global flag that toggles the "collaborative editing" on and off. They look similar though, the difference is all about seeing other users active on a page.

I think you're simply looking at the layout command. In the editor's command bar, look for the section button. It will toggle a second bar below on and off, and highlight where the areas are in your page. This bar is about layout over content.

comments: author: Metin Barhanko
body: Not so easy to explain.

see different views in attached pictures.

This looks to be the default view:![p1.JPG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/15026iF310F2C10C786D49/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "p1.JPG")

This is the view I want to use (without the frame sections for section, column, panel etc):

author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Hmm, then I'm a little confused on what you want.

What you're seeing is the standard edit mode. The editor needs to be able to show you the content of macros, otherwise you can't edit them. There is no other way to edit, because you wouldn't be able to edit properly.
