Multimedia Macro now worse with mp3's (audio)
Asked by Westwood One Sports:

Previously, when using the multimedia Macro with audio, you would get a nice clean multimedia player that looked like this:

![OldMacro.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/63457iCEE8E07ED94C2FCC/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "OldMacro.png")

This is from Chrome. Different browsers displayed it a little differently, but you could conveniently play, pause, or save without navigating away from the page. Now that you have to drag and drop multimedia files onto the page, audio files now look like this:

![NewMacro.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/63458iBCF7BE35F3239C13/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "NewMacro.png")

This is obviously not as clean. It also requires you to browse to another page to listen to the file, download it, etc. Am I doing something wrong or missing a step. If not, will this change and can this be fixed? The old Multimedia Macro was much better, and should not be gotten rid of unless I'm missing a step.

body: Hello there!

The Multimedia Macro is indeed being deprecated soon. You can check this information here:
> * ***++[Multimedia Macro - Confluence Cloud](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/multimedia-macro-724765227.html)++***

For further information on what is being deprecated, we can check this page right here:
> * ***++[We're cleaning up the macro browser](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/we-re-cleaning-up-the-macro-browser-946028471.html)++***

In the new editing experience, we do not have the multimedia macro. In our old editor, the macro should be still available. Here you can read more about our new editing experience:
> * ++***[Confluence Editing Improvements](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/confluence-editing-improvements-945107733.html)***++
> * ++***[Try out the new editing experience](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-discussions/Try-out-the-new-editing-experience/td-p/1000813)***++

In *++Confluence Server (Self-Hosted)++*, the multimedia macro should still be available. We need to insert it first and then select the desired file to be displayed within it.

I would like to have a better idea of your environment. Here we have a few questions to help with it:

1. Are you using Confluence Cloud or Server version?
2. If on Confluence Cloud, are you using the new editor or the old one?
3. Are you able to upload files by going into the plus sign at the toolbar and then selecting Files and images?

Scroll versions - anonymous/reader
Asked by Jason Green:

Hi All,

The Scroll Add-on states in the Roles it defines there should be a "Reader" category. My screen shows no such category. I have Doc-Admin, Author, Reviewer, and that's all.

Further, as I have multiple versions of doc in each space on my Confluence site, I want anonymous users (users not logged into Confluence) to be able to access the Scroll add-on, and select what version of the doc they want from the drop-down menu. Is this possible to setup?

Thx,

JG


Answers:
author: roman
body: Hi JG.

Reader is a user who is not part of Doc-Admin, Author and Reviewer roles. Readers can't be defined as with other roles. Anonymous user are always readers.

The only way for anonymous users to be able to see the version picker and select versions is to use Scroll Versions in combination with Scroll Viewport. You can try this out by enabling support for versions in Viewport configuration of the space and then marking which versions should be viewable in Viewport in Scroll Add-ons ? Versions screen.

More information about Versions-Viewport integration: <https://help.k15t.com/scroll-viewport/latest/integrate-with-scroll-versions-134483720.html>.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

My activity stream macro is showing info in wrong language
Asked by Cristhian Heredia:

Hello we are an Spanish language used company, but we are ok using content in english, but the activity stream macro is showinf the feed info on some oriental kanguae and i cannot change it (seems chinese) here is an screenshot: <http://prntscr.com/ot38f0>


Answers:

There are some discussions in the comments of the ticket above that list some workarounds.

Currently, my organisation's setup is experiencing the same issue with JIRA7.13. The option to disable/enable Activity Stream plugin did not help. Thus, the next attempt would be to restart JIRA and be the first to login to default the language to my profile default.


author: Diego
body: Hello there Christian!  
As I understand, the Activity Stream gadget is not displaying text with the native instance language. Is this affirmation correct?

The screen capture sent our way shows that the language displayed by Confluence is Korean, which is strange.

There are a few things we can try out. Here they are:
> *1- Access the same page with a different browser*   
> *2- Try clearing the browser cache*   
> *3- Check if another user is affected by this*   
> *4- Check if a newly inserted Activity Stream behaves the same*   
> *5- Can you verify that the instance global language is indeed set to the desired language?*

Let us know what you find out, Christian. Looking forward to your reply!

Is it possible to have a field show on hover?
Asked by Curtis Freudigmann:

I would like to put some information bubbles in my form, but due to the size of the form I would only like to show this info bubble when the user hovers over the info image. Is this possible with the options available or would it be possible using CSS?

I was not able to find this option and it would be very beneficial for me.

Confluence (at least version 7.x) loads a *tooltip* library

And it is possible to use it via something like below

```
AJS.$(SELECTOR_HERE).tooltip();
```

Will take title attribute as a "tooltip"

Moving posts on slack towards confluence?
Asked by Guido Sluijsmans:

I'm using confluence for our management notes and our management team can add topics for the agenda. Sometimes we have discussions on slack which need to be discussed more elaborate. Those you like to put on the agenda of next meeting. Is it also possible to upload #slack posts to certain pages on Confluence?


Answers:
author: Stephen Sifers
body: Hello Guido and welcome to the Community!

From reviewing your idea of wanting to create content within Confluence from Slack, I wasn't able to find anything available within the official app or any other marketplace app which would allow for this. With this said, the idea is still possible. You could possibly create your own app to create Content within Confluence cloud using the REST API, you will want to use this endpoint; [POST /wiki/rest/api/content](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/#api-content-post).

Further information on building this type of app for slack may be found at:
> Are you interested in building a Slack app? Visit the [Slack API](https://api.slack.com/) site to get started. You can always [drop us a line](https://my.slack.com/help/requests/new) with questions, or simply let us know what you're up to --- we'd love to hear from you. ?

Source documentation: [Slack \| Add Tools to Your Workspace](https://get.slack.help/hc/en-us/articles/202035138-Add-an-app-to-your-workspace)

While not a direct answer on how to do this, I hope this proves helpful in finding a way to create content within Confluence from Slack.

If you have multiple spaces in Confluence is there a way to search all spaces for Knowledge base ans

You could add space category to the spaces you would like to search through and then use \`Advanced Search\` or \`Search Panel\` (6.15+) to filter the search results by space categories.

Find all your KB spaces and add a label, for example, "Knowledge Base" to each.

Then use the [Content by Label macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/content-by-label-macro-145566.html) to only pull KB spaces.

How to build a documentation framework to allow cross-linked function visibility
Asked by Billy Dale:

Hi,

I'm trying to get a documentation system going on in the company. For context, we are an IoT company, and have a few pieces of hardware, along with services that we offer based on data generated from the hardware, along with external sources feeding into the systems.

We want to have a system that allows us to document product requirements, tech requirements that not only link to certain features that the company is working on, but also so that there is visibility of where they fit into other areas of the business.

I.e. if we want to develop a feature, this feature will sit within multiple areas of the company, there needs to be consideration of the firmware, software that are also engaged with other pieces of hardware in the company, along with other features.

We are looking at generating a skeleton for future documentation to be stored, but unsure as to how it can be linked together so that things aren't missed in future work.

Build number from Bamboo to Confluence
Asked by Evgeniy Kovalenkov:

Hi team!

We have a confluence page on our project. And every time, when we install new release to the environment we manually update the information about this release on Confluence page. But I am sure that we can integrate Bamboo with Confluence, but I don't know how.

Could you help me with it?

I need a solution how to add link of the current release number from Bamboo to Confluence page and every time, when we install new release this information will update automatically.

Thank you in advance!


Answers:

Let me share with you what I know about this:
> (...) I am sure that we can integrate Bamboo with Confluence, but I don't know how.  
> Could you help me with it?

Bamboo and Confluence have just a few integrations as described in this page:

* [Integrating Bamboo with Confluence - Atlassian Documentation](https://confluence.atlassian.com/bamboo/integrating-bamboo-with-confluence-289276944.html)

> I need a solution how to add link of the current release number from Bamboo to Confluence page and every time, when we install new release this information will update automatically.

We don't have a feature out of the box to assist you with this.  

What you can try instead is to use a Bamboo deployment to run Confluence REST calls to create/update the Confluence page with the information you want.

Some references that might be useful:

* [Bamboo variables](https://confluence.atlassian.com/bamboo/bamboo-variables-289277087.html)  
  Here you can find the data that can be sent to Confluence through REST
* [Confluence REST API examples](https://developer.atlassian.com/server/confluence/confluence-rest-api-examples/)  
  Some examples of REST APIs that can be used to update/create Confluence pages

I hope that helps.

How to automatically send email, once changes made in confluence
Asked by Mimi Hanim:

I want everytime there is someone make changes on the page, there will be an email sent saying that changes has been made even a single dot or coma made on the page. I have tried this link's (<https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/email-notifications-145162.html>) method but it seems not working as I wanted. It only notify users who are following the person who did changes on the page, and only notify through confluence only but not through email.


Answers:

body: Hi [@Mimi Hanim](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3523932),

I'm not sure if I understood what you tried already. Are you [watching the page](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/watch-pages-spaces-and-blogs-139579.html) you're interested in? If you watch a page, you get notified of all the changes of the page.

And just to be sure about the emails: Did you configure a mail server in your confluence? If not, here are the [instructions](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/configuring-a-server-for-outgoing-mail-151078.html) to do so.

Does that help?

Tables old style editing
Asked by Stephan Duenner:

I am not so happy with the new UI for tables in confluence.

author: Shannon S
body: Hello Stephan,

Welcome to Atlassian Community. It's nice to have you.

It is not possible to switch back to the old style. This new editor is the one that is going to be replacing the old editor entirely on all instances.

In terms of the width of the table, you can click the button **\<- -\>** and it will expand or shrink depending on your preference.

We have some upcoming feature for tables in the new editor which you can review at [Confluence Cloud Editor Roadmap](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/confluence-cloud-editor-roadmap-967314556.html#ConfluenceCloudEditorRoadmap-Additionaltablefunctionality). Things like sorting tables, sticky headers, and reordering cells and columns.

Cannot edit page - a lot of JS errors
Asked by mkilinski:

Hi there. I have an issue with my Confluence. I can't edit any page. The EDIT button doesn't work, nothing happens after click in it. I noticed a lot of JS errors in console. Any ideas?

I am using Confluence 6.15.2 with SSL and reverse proxy via IIS. I don't know when the issue arose because I haven't edit any pages after uprade to 6.15 version...

![Screenshot_2019-08-15 09.43.34_1ogvZV.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/63369iA0A2E41CE6364CBA/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screenshot_2019-08-15 09.43.34_1ogvZV.png")

Happy to help with your issue! Can you tell us if you recently upgraded to 6.15.2? Which version did you come from before?

First, I would recommend that you [bypass your proxy](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-bypass-a-proxy-to-test-network-connectivity-402031184.html) to confirm there isn't an issue with that and this version of Confluence.

Secondly, could you tell me if all of your users are experiencing the same issue? Does it occur on all browsers, computers, and inside and outside of your internal network?

There is a way with Crowd; you would just need to use an LDAP connector. Have a look at [Configuring an LDAP Directory](https://confluence.atlassian.com/crowd/configuring-an-ldap-directory-connector-18579550.html) and check under the **Directory-specific configuration notes**.

If you have any questions about that I would advise raising a new question under the Crowd collection. Then, some Crowd experts will be able to reply to you and help you out.

Frozen Top Row in Page Properties Report
Asked by Cindy:

I have a series of Page Properties Report macros, each of them nestled under individual **UI Tab** macros (and all contained in a **UI Tabs** macro).

The first UI Tab \> Page Properties Report table looks and sorts rows fine, but the remaining UI Tab + Page Properties Report tables all have fixed, greyed-out top row for each table. When clicking on the column headers for the table, that row is fixed, and doesn't sort.

**Has anyone encountered this problem, or been able to successfully troubleshoot?**

I've using the Tabs Container + Tabs Page macros, but running into the same issue, so I'm assuming it's a bug with the Page Properties Report macro. My goal is to be able to display multiple page properties reports on the same page.
