Insert Excel Macro on Confluence
Asked by Gary Webb:

Hi

When I am attempting to insert the office excel macro to a confluence page I have the following problem.

At file name, the drop down only gives me a random selection of excel files to choose from - how do I locate the file I want to use? Doesn't seem to give me an option to browse and only lets me choose from the random list of files.

Thanks

Unable to communicate with server - when putting Task List
Asked by Daniel Niechoda:

Hi Guys,

When putting Task List \[\] on any page and trying to save it I am getting :

"Unable to communicate with server. Saving is not possible at the moment."

message, when I remove Task List \[\] item pages saves without any problem

I am using Self hosted (Linux Ubuntu 16.04LTS Server) Confluence server 6.15.3

- I have tried it on different pages (exisiting and newly created)

- I have restarted confluence server

- I do not get any other errors (I am aware of) confluence seems to be working fine

- nothing or not much in catalina.out logs

Any suggestions ?

I have found cause for that behaviour and fixed it.

in my MySQL database config mysql.cnf I had line

Create page/subpage depending on date using template/blueprint?
Asked by Joel K?berg:

I have an template which currently creates an page using the @currentDate variable. Is it possbile to have an similar apphroach but instead create pages into "sorted" sub pages (will make it more managable).

I'm thinking something like \<year\>/\<month\>/\<date\> (this will create three nested sub/child pages if none of them exists) instead of @currentDate which will create an subpage with name \<year\>-\<month\>-\<date\>

Is this possbile? I tried looking over the documentation, but couldn't find anything that fits.


Answers:

body: Hi Joel,

Welcome to Community! It's nice to meet you.

What you are describing sounds like a [Confluence Blueprint](https://developer.atlassian.com/server/confluence/confluence-blueprints/). You can develop a Blueprint in order create a set of pages rather than the single template, which you are currently doing.

It does require a deal of development knowledge on your behalf, but feel free to review that article and let us know if you have any questions about it.

Alternatively, there are a number of add-ons in Marketplace that could help you accomplish this. I'm not personally familiar with them but I would suggest you review them and see if there are any that interest you:

* [Blueprints Add-ons - Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?product=confluence&query=blueprints)

Let me know if you have any questions about that!

Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Shaolin,

Thank you for contacting us about this issue! I've had a look into this, and it appears that it is a bug ticket in Confluence Livesearch Macro:

* [CONFSERVER-55368](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-55368) *Livesearch Macro search results displays \&#39; instead of apostrophe (Server)*
* [CONFCLOUD-52697](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-52697) *Livesearch Macro search results displays \&#39; instead of apostrophe* *(Cloud)*

At this time, there is not a workaround, and it appears that it should only occur in the Livesearch Macro.  

Can you confirm the same does not occur when you use the quick search at the top?

Can you also confirm your Confluence version so I can add it as a case to the bug tickets?

Thank you!

Task Macro not working in Live Template
Asked by Adam Kurland:

My company's version of Confluence allows for the Task Macro and Task Report. We've made extensive use of it. I ran across an issue with this this when I embedded a Table Data Macro into a Live Template. When we edit the page via "Edit Contents", and I type "\[\]" the Task Macro doesn't work. I'm not sure if this matters, but the text is formatted via "Text Data". Is this a known issue with the Task Macro?

Not able to create inline comments
Asked by Pauline Monroy:

I have used this feature before on a different child page (lets call it page 2) of the same parent and it works. But on my particular page it doesn't (lets call this one page 1). I checked my profile settings and of course, it all set right. (Show option is selected)  

On page 2 - i am able to create comments inside a macro, inside a table and external text.  
On page 1 - Cannot add a comment on anything


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Kirti,

Thank you for contacting us about this. Let's try to get to the bottom of this.

Could you confirm if on page 1, are there any emoji being used on the page? Any special macros that exist there and not on page 2? Or is there anything else you can tell me about the difference between the two pages?

Regards,

Shannon

comments: author: Pauline Monroy
body: Hello [@Shannon S](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/510046) ! Thank you for helping out!  

Firstly, here's what similar between both pages:  

* Both pages have content inside tables nested inside Panel macros.
* Both have a high number of images in them
* No special emoji has been used

When their structures were the same, inline comments used to work for both pages.

For differences:

* The tables on Page 1 - were changed to be of fixed width.
* Page 1 was created from a custom-template. Page was created from a global template that was modified. But as I mentioned, until I made the aforementioned change, I could still add comments.


author: Shannon S
body: Hi Kirti,

Thank you for sharing those details. Upon investigation, I realized that you also raised a ticket with Support, and they were able to help you clear your cache. By doing so, your issue is now resolved.

Can you please confirm this is the case?

I also noticed you had asked Suren how to clear the cache on your own, but he must not have seen that question. It's only possible for the Cloud Support Team to clear your cache, because they have access to your instance as a Server Admin. You need to be a Server Admin in order to do so. Next time you need your cache cleaned, you can reach out to the support team as you did earlier.

I hope that helps, but do let me know if you have any questions!

Regards,

Shannon

Why is the task due date showing as tomorrow when it's 2 days out?
Asked by Stephanie Bannister:

I have added tasks to a page using "//" to specify a due date. The date today is 5/11 and I set the due date to 5/13. When I publish the page, it shows the due date as "tomorrow". But it's not tomorrow! When I change the date to 5/12 and publish, it shows the date as "today". But it's not today!

Has anyone run into this before and knows how to fix it? I tried check time zone, date, and language settings on my laptop and my Atlassian account and all are congruent with where I'm located.

Thanks in advance!

I do not want to notify @user when mentioning them on page. Is this possible?
Asked by Barnett Williams:

I am creating a draft for a template and need to list the members on the project. My thought is to tag them appropriately with the [@User](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/115298) feature but do not want a notification to go out to each member when I save the page. Is this possible or will each mentioned user receive a notif?

Thanks


Answers:
author: Kris G _Alacriz_
body: Hi [@Barnett Williams](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2984827) -

If you are only creating a template with @ mentions, no notification will go out.

If you are saving a page that was created using a template having @ mentions, email notifications will go out. To avoid notifications going out, you can disable the Confluence Mentions plugin from Cog wheel --\> Add-ons --\> Manage add-ons --\> search for Mentions plugin with System selected on the drop-down menu. You'll find a greyed Disable button if your plugin is already enabled.

I hope it helps.

How do I enable Autoformatting in the "new look" JIRA?
Asked by Anthony Beck:

I cannot find documentation for how to do this.


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Anthony,

Thank you for contacting us. Happy to help you with this!

So, I believe you might be referring to markup within Confluence Cloud's new editor. Is this correct? You mentioned Jira in your title so I just want to be sure.

If so, we've removed Mark**up** from the editor, and are replacing it with Mark**down**.

You can read more about this below:

* [Keyboard Shortcuts, Markdown, and Autocomplete](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/keyboard-shortcuts-markdown-and-autocomplete-724764956.html)

This page will explain how you can accomplish specific results with Markdown.

Note that some Markup is still possible in Confluence Cloud, and you can get the list of shortcuts below:

* [Confluence Wiki Markup](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/confluence-wiki-markup-938044804.html)

Let me know if that helps, or if there's something specific you're trying to auto-format, and I can help you with that.

Regards,

Shannon

Is it possible to export entire Trello projects into different programs?
Asked by Vicki Syal:

Hi Friends. I am a writer, currently using my trello board to storyboard a project. I've got categories galore, and each card has a decent amount of writing under descriptions and comments.

I am wondering if there is a way to export or copy (without having to manually copy and paste) all the different cards/descriptions under the various lists.

Sometimes I am not able to access my trello board, and it would be nice to have a google doc, or even an email with all of the research, brainstorms, character development, scenes, and story arcs - etc.

If need be I can do a manual copy-paste, but I thought I'd check to see if there's some simple command or option to do that, before I devote the time required.

Thank you!


Answers:
author: Katrin Anger
body: [@Vicki Syal](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3166936)

Hi Vicky,

By default, Trello can be exported into JSON, but that is not a very user-friendly format for most people.

However there is a way to export Trello board data into a spreadsheet. If you install the Booklet by Vince Power-Up, you can export boards and selected lists into an Excel file (or Markdown).

That's the only possibility I know of and already a huge progress compared with the status quo of JSON.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: No, there's no export directly, but if you got the power-up that links it to Jira, you could use that to synchronise (duplicate) your data.

How to create a parent folder (not a page) in confluence?

Hi Barnett

welcome to the community.

Confluence pages can be set up in hierarchies, with parent multiple children pages, much like folders and subfolder hierarchies#

A pure folder functionality does not exist out of the box

All the best

Kurt


author: Dharma Ramos
body: As Kurt advised there is no pure folder, once you create a page within a page, the top level page becomes the parent. You can keep creating pages within other pages to create a hierarchy. You can also move and reorder pages in the Space Tools to make sure you have the hierarchy you are looking for.

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf613/move-and-reorder-pages-964960373.html>

Then you can you can Insert a Page Tree macro in the top or parent page, which will give you a list of the pages in that page. You will need to change the Root Page to your parent page (Q2 in your example above), otherwise it defaults to your home page. You may also want to change the Start Depth, if you have more than 1 depth hierarchy and want to show it all in this menu.

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/page-tree-macro-163414255.html>

Can also use the Children Display macro.

How to add an entire Jira sprint to confluence?
Asked by Meghan McCarthy:

I'm creating a task list for my team, organized by their names and issues.

I am trying to embed several Jira issues at a time into Confluence using the Jira Issue Macro. I would really like to have Confluence automatically populate when new Jira issues are tagged to an individual. Is anyone aware of a way to do this?

<br />

Right now, I have to use the Jira Macro and search 1 issue at a time.


Answers:
author: Tyler Brown
body: Hey Meghan,

To return more than one issue you will need to craft a query using JQL.

For example to search for all issues assigned to a specific user you would enter:

assignee = username

To search for multiple users you could use:

assignee in (username1, username2, ...)

The best way to craft a query if you are not familiar with JQL is to create your query in the basic format, switching to the Advanced view and then copy/pasting your search into the Jira Macro on the Confluence side.

Hope this helps,

Tyler

comments: author: Meghan McCarthy
body: Awesome - thanks Tyler. Does the Jira Macro have the ability to autopopulate when new Jira issues are created?


author: Tyler Brown
body: Hey Meghan,

Depending on how your search is crafted yes.

For example if you use the assignee search whenever a new issue is assigned to that user it will be automatically added to that list.

Tyler
