comments: author: Manoj Badam
body: Thanks [@Davin Studer](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/781467) It works well, except for the codeblocks. In github, i used to keep it in \`\`\` , is there any hack for that ?


author: Davin Studer
body: Another option would be the Markdown [Macro for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211438/markdown-macro-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview). I tried it out and it seemed to handle code blocks. It's a free app.


author: Brian Batchelder
body: This is not working now. The first time the macro runs, it converts from Confluence Markup, no matter what is selected. It used to be OK on the second run, but now the macro won't load again until I reboot my Mac. Verified in Safari, Chrome and Firefox.


author: Yorgos Katsaros
body: This doesn't seem to be available now.

Added calendar types have disappeared for a calendar.
Asked by Grady Drew:

Has anyone had an issue where custom calendar event types disappear? I have one calendar that has no restrictions, and the added calendar types are not available in the drop-down when creating an event.

The calendar itself shows all the event types as filters, however.

Any help appreciated...


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Grady,

Are the custom event types seen in the Calendar settings themselves, or are they missing from there as well? Did you recently perform an upgrade?

Regards,

Shannon

comments: author: Grady Drew
body: The old calendar types are shown on the calendar, but when opting to create a new event, the added events are not in the drop-down list. I do not know if we have performed a update recently, but I suspect not.


author: Shannon S
body: Hi Grady,

In reference to my first question, I wanted to find out if you can still see the custom event types from the **Edit** screen of your calendar:

![Screen Shot 2019-01-15 at 2.39.37 PM.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/42462i6746F58C92CFC6DF/image-dimensions/452x384?v=v2 "Screen Shot 2019-01-15 at 2.39.37 PM.png")

Since you can still see the events on your calendar using the Custom Event Types, you might need to have your instance reindexed.

As this requires support to interact with your instance, I would recommend reaching out to them directly at [support.atlassian.com](https://support.atlassian.com). Then they can take a look at your instance specifically, see what might have happened, and run a re-index. If that doesn't help, they can investigate further. You'll want to link to this thread when you create the case with them.

Once they're able to determine why your custom event types aren't shown when creating a new event, please feel free to update this thread with the solution for future users.

Regards,

Shannon


author: Grady Drew
body: Only some of the added event types are there, but none of the ones that we were using.

I'll see if i can get a re-index going. Thank you!

Stop confluence code block macro from creating anchors when period is present in code
Asked by ebrettingham:

My code inside a code block has anchors being created when a period is used. For example an sql block like this:

select a.column1 , b.column2

from tablea a, tableb b

where a.column1 = b.column1;

all of the instance of a. and b. are turned into hyperlinks to https://\<confluence url\>/a.column1


Answers:
author: Davin Studer
body: What version of Confluence are you using? I have tried using the code block macro and your text above in both my Confluence Server and Confluence Cloud environment and I don't see the behavior you are seeing.

author: Davin Studer
body: Hmmm. I've tried this on my 6.8.1 and 6.12.2 environments and do not see that behavior. Do you have the [Confluence Source Editor](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1210722/confluence-source-editor?hosting=server&tab=overview) app? If you don't it's made by Atlassian and free. It lets you edit the storage format code behind a page. If you do I would look at the storage format behind your code block macro and see is something wonky snuck in somehow.


author: ebrettingham
body: Thanks David. I've asked my admin to take a look. I will update with what he finds.


author: Richard Burstiner
body: I can reproduce the same behavior with and without the SQL formatting in the same version as Eddie.

Content Section with text on the left side and image on the right side of section
Asked by John Joseph Guy:

Greetings

I'm new to Confluence and learning how to format the page/section to display text on the left side of the page and image on the right side. When I drag the image onto the page the text is rearranged.

Can someone describe how to format the page/section to display text/content on the left and an image to the right of the content.

Thank you

John


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: The easiest way to do this is to just wrap the text around the image and not worry about sections at all. Click on the image in your content and then in the editor toolbar click the left or right justify button. The text will then wrap around the image.

If you want to use sections you will need to create a section that is broken into two spaces. You can place the text in one space and image in the other. This can be done by clicking page layout button ![pagelayout.PNG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/42278i21839F4B4049AC4B/image-dimensions/37x31?v=v2 "pagelayout.PNG") and then adding a section and changing it to the layout you would like.

Answers:

Are you using Cloud or Server version of Confluence?

comments: author: Maria Martinho

I am using cloud version.


author: Brittany Wispell
body: So it looks like there currently is a ticket open for this functionality.

[CONFCLOUD-34389](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-34389?_ga=2.27239797.996400215.1547156498-2063285956.1540239328)

I would suggest voting for this issue and watching it for updates! :)

Let me know if you have any other questions!


author: Maria Martinho
body: Thanks Brittany.

The ticket you mentioned is opened since 2014.

Is there a preview date to find a solution to it?


author: Brittany Wispell
body: I have not found a solution for the Cloud specifically.

I would suggest the best way is to create a page in Confluence and use the macro task report.

You can specify the types of tasks you want to see to using Labels or by pages/spaces in Confluence. See below images.

author: Maria Martinho
body: Hi Brittany

Thank you for your suggestion.

I already tried that, but the problem is that in the report only appears the tasks column and I would like to see in my report all the columns of the table.

Thank you anyway.

You can use the [Blog Posts Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/blog-posts-macro-139470.html) which will allow you to list blog posts but not restrict to a space.

Word import into Confluence missing attachments, images, embedded objects, word graphics
Asked by Marji Dainty:

I am working with a team to move a repository of artifacts into Confluence, and we are experiencing so many issues with these imports. Attachments are replaced by images of the file icon, tables are altered or missing, images are lost, objects created with word art are gone.

What can we do to address these issues? We have a large repository of content that needs to migrate, and we are really counting on this import functionality. If our docs cannot come in clean, it introduces significant and untenable risk to our work. Any ideas would be welcome. Perhaps there is a better file format for importing? Or a better tools for importing, perhaps?

Thanks in advance for your help!

comments: author: Marji Dainty
body: Hello, Victor, and thank you for your reply! I really appreciate it.

I looked at this page you suggested, and it seems to be focused on *exports* . I am actually trying to do *import* into Confluence. Do you know of a similar reference for importing?

Thanks!


author: Victor Mutambuki
body: Marji,

Another solution would be to copy the pages that have the attachments and other files to a new space where you can archive content.

Then your images, attachments and files will reside under Content Tools -- Attachments.

How to get pages with no attachment via REST api
Asked by Ilcin:

Hi,

I'm trying to write a script that moves all storage pages with no attachments to another page as their child so that they can be deleted later. I need a way to specify that the number of attachments is zero in my fetch request that I send out.  
So far it takes all storage pages, but I only want the pages with no attachments to it.

Is there a way to do that?

Thanks!


Answers:
author: Stephen Sifers
body: Hello Splashy,

Using the API in conjunction with a script to do this task is a great idea. Ideally, you would want to get to the result in the least amount of effort.

Here is how I would approach this task:

1. Create an array of all pages in a space
   1. [api/content](https://docs.atlassian.com/ConfluenceServer/rest/6.13.0/#api/content) (GET content)
2. For each page (Using the ID), check if an attachment is present.
   1. [api/content/{id}/child/attachment](https://docs.atlassian.com/ConfluenceServer/rest/6.13.0/#api/content/%7Bid%7D/child/attachment)
   2. IF(attachment = Present) {DO NOTHING.}
   3. Else{DO SOMETHING}
3. Repeat for each space

This would be the shortest path to check all pages in a space to see if they have an attachment.

Regards,  
Stephen Sifers

comments: author: Ilcin
body: Hello Stephen,

thank you so much for the input (and provided links, I'm a newbie working with APIs and scripts so they helped a lot)!  
What I had to do was delete move the child pages of one specific page and not for multiple pages. So i just adapted your suggestion.  
I used a for loop, getting the attachments for each page and checking for their type and size, so that I could sort out all child pages without an attachment.

I just have a tiny question left. Is there a limit for how many pages I can get with the GET request? I know the default is 50.

Regards,  
splashy


author: Stephen Sifers
body: Hello again Splashy,

Very glad to hear you're able to find a solution!

For the follow up question, the page limit max I have seen is 200 pages(items) to be returned. However, you can set the page limit anywhere between 1-200. An example of this would be as follows:

```
"http://localhost:8080/confluence/rest/api/space/ds/content/page?limit=200"
```

There is a whole document which explains why this exists, how it works and when to use it. You may find that document at [Pagination in the REST API](https://developer.atlassian.com/server/confluence/pagination-in-the-rest-api/).

Very glad to be of assistance, keep the great questions coming!

Regards,  
Stephen Sifers


author: Ilcin
body: Hello Stephen,

thank you for your fast and informative answer! I will take a look into the document you provided and finish up my script.

I wish you a good weekend!

Not able to disable user although correct settings
Asked by Thomas Fialek:

HI there,

we want to disable a user to safe licenses in confluenes. But we always get the error message "User "xy" could not be disabled. The directory may be read-only."

I went to the user directories and opened the settings for the active directory server.

![1.PNG](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/42242iD70421B7A1F1E838/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "1.PNG")

There I clicked under LDAP Permissions "Read/Write".

Additionally I checked "Manage User Status Locally" under Advanced settings.

![2.PNG](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/42243i8AE47967DF2D6666/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "2.PNG")

According to confluence troubleshooting it should be enough to disable user, but we still get the error message:

![3.PNG](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/42245i30625E895ABBCCA2/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "3.PNG")

Has some an idea how to disable users properly?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

Looking for suggestions
Asked by Dean:

Greetings Folks,

I am a basic user with Confluence and am wanting to incorporate a generic sales proposal into Confluence, where the sales team can fill in things like Company name, address and specifics on what they are selling and where the rest of the document is pre-populated with SLA info and such. Once they have finished, they can then save this as a new document (page) and then choose to print this with something like Scroll PDF.

I am curious to hear how others have achieved this? Do you create a page for each page of your document? Do you do one page for all and than use something like Scroll PDF?

Thanks for your time,


Answers:
author: Barnali Putatunda
body: Hi Dean,  

You can create a Confluence template with your static information \& keep the Other details like Company name, address etc as variables.  

Every time when you need to send a sales proposal, you can create a new page using that predefined template just filling out the variable fields.

comments: author: Dean
body: Greetings Barnali,

Yes, that is the route I have decided to go. Thanks for your response.


author: Aron Gombas _Midori_
body: Wouldn't this be better to use Jira to track these proposals?

To me, that feels like a better tool to do the job. You can get lifecycle, reporting, etc. for free if each proposal is modeled with an issue where the varying data can be captured in custom fields.

Just my 5 cents.

comments: author: Dean
body: Thanks for taking the time to answer Aron. I will give this some consideration.

Is WebHooks available in confluence?
Asked by karthick tgi:

Hi Team,

I am using **trail** version of confluence.

I tried to create a simple Confluence **WebHook for another application** through rest api service or atlassian portal. There's an a**dmin page to add WebHooks for JIRA** , but I **don't see the same for Confluence**.
