Table Transformation content as URL
Asked by erzn:

Hello,

i have used within my confluence page a jira-issues-macro, which shows me all issues to a specified JQL.

I use the result (as a Table) within the macro "Table Transformation" to use further SQL query/reporting and have a SQL selection to extend the jira-issues-macro-table with one more column.

the first column is the key, second the summary and third (generated column via CONCAT) should be an url.

For example:

########

Key \| Summary \| URL (concat)

KEY-123 \| Summary 1 \| <http://www.xyz.com/KEY-123>

KEY-456 \| Summary 2 \| <http://www.xyz.com/KEY-456>

########

Unfortunately the result of the concat column is hard-written and not clickable. I just want to get the result as a link to make the user more comfortable to click on it, to get to the page requested. I tried to make the concat like "\[<http://www.xyz.com/KEY-123>\]" but it didn't converted the text into a clickable url.

Do you have any ideas?

My SQL Query within the table-Transformation macro:

```
SELECT 'Key', 'Summary', CONCAT("https://www.xyz.com", 'Key') FROM T*
```

Thank you!

Best Regards

Ersin

How do I disable the global search option and use only a local search option?
Asked by tsur.rothfeld:

I am using Confluence 1000.0.0. The default global search option (under the "recent pages" option) on the top left displays results from additional spaces that we created. How can I configure it so that it displays only search results from the same space? Thanks in advance anyone who can help.


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello there,

Thank you for raising this with us.

The Quick Search option is not configurable itself. It will always search the entire Confluence site, unless you have used specific [Confluence Search Syntax](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/confluence-search-syntax-724765423.html) to get a more specific result. An example of the parameters you can use are available on the linked knowledge base article.

We do have a long-standing feature request for this to be able to configure the site's quick search feature:

* [CONFCLOUD-5338](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-5338) *Make quick search scope a site configurable option*

As a workaround, you can use the [Livesearch macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/livesearch-macro-724765225.html) in a page. This would allow you to restrict to a specific space.

Let me know if you have any trouble with that!

Regards,

Shannon

Restore an old linked file
Asked by Tom Sharples:

When a file has been uploaded and linked with "Files and images" on a Page and then in future is overwritten with a new version of the file, is there anyway to get the previous version of the file?


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello [@Tom Sharples](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2079862) ! As I understand, you need to fetch a previous version of an existing attachment in your instance.

You should be able to do so by checking the attachment in the attachments list. Here is how you can reach this list:
> ![AttachmentVerson.gif](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/86050iE7E8E8638616464F/image-dimensions/540x233?v=v2 "AttachmentVerson.gif")

Please, keep in mind that previous versions of attachments can be deleted. If this is the case, you will not be able to restore that specific version.

If you need more information on how to manage attachments in Confluence, you can take a look here:

User macro with array type of parameter
Asked by Robin Helgelin:

I'm currently working on a user macro for formatting a header of a document. This header should contain a list of different times this document has been approved.

This list will be dynamic per document. How do I go about and make such a thing?

I was thinking that it might be possible to add "sub-macros" for every line, that uses javascript to inject themselves in the main formatted table. But not sure how that will be handled when printing, etc.


Answers:
author: Sven Schatter _Lively Apps_
body: With enough fiddling this might be possible but it sounds like you're pushing the limits of what user macros should be used for. If you're already doing complicated stuff like that with user macros the jump to writing real Confluence macros might not be that big for you. The tutorial for creating a Hello World macro is quite simple and from there you can work in Java which is much nicer: <https://developer.atlassian.com/server/confluence/creating-a-new-confluence-macro/>

You can also check out more complex Macro tutorials here: <https://developer.atlassian.com/server/confluence/macro-tutorials-for-confluence/>

Is there a way to automatically upload an excel sheet on a scheduled time from sftp folder?
Asked by ramitha.jayakumar:

I am looking to set up an automatic upload of data from an excel sheet


Answers:
author: Daniel Eads
body: Hi Ramitha,

Thinking about your ask to upload an excel sheet on a schedule, I came up with some ideas:

* **Using the REST** **API** - you could write a small script that [attaches the Excel sheet to Confluence Cloud using the attachment REST API](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/#api-api-content-id-child-attachment-put). Scheduling the script would then depend on your system - in Linux you could create a cron job to run it on a specific schedule, or on Windows you could add the script to the Windows Task Scheduler.
* **Using an upload connector** from the Atlassian Marketplace - there are [several apps that provide upload capabilities from various sources](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?hosting=cloud&product=confluence&query=upload). While I'll just encourage you to take a look at the published apps, it's possible you may find something that fits your need (even if it bypasses the SFTP folder).
* **Get the data directly from source** - this might be beyond what you're looking for, but it's worth examining the entire pipeline of where the data is coming from. If there's a database export generating the Excel spreadsheet, maybe a more interesting option would be to get the data directly from the database into Confluence using something like the [External Data for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1221733/external-data-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) app.

Hopefully this provides some ideas to get you going. There might be some solutions to your needs just outside the normal "upload an Excel sheet" box!

Cheers,  
Daniel

comments: author: ramitha.jayakumar
body: Hi Daniel,

Thank you so much for your valuable inputs. Def you provided me with some thoughts for me to think more based on my needs.

I am planning to try option 1 and see how it works out

Ideally 3 might be great because my source is a database, so might look into it to see how licencing works for our firm. We do not have it with the plan which we currently have

Thanks again!

Cheers,

site space to personal space
Asked by Doug Anderson:

How do I turn a site space to a personal space?

I looked at <https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Change-site-space-to-personal-space/qaq-p/209720>

but that was from 2013 and the directions are no longer valid


Answers:
author: David at David Simpson Apps
body: I'd suggest that the easiest way to achieve this would be:

1. Create the target space (the personal space)
2. Move the home page of the source space to the target space
   * This will also move all the children of the page to the new space
3. Manually copy the permissions from the source space to the target space
4. Update any look and feel, theme etc on the target space to match the source space


author: Scott Theus
body: Hi [@Doug Anderson](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1371469) ,

The ability to convert a space to a personal space was removed, there are a couple of requests to add it back in:

<https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-32918>

<https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-32918>

You can vote on the Cloud issue if you want, the more interest it gathers the more likely it is to get implemented. Note however that the server version of the request has already been closed due to limited interest, so I would be surprised if we saw this added back any time soon, if at all.

How to amend Modified date displayed for attachments

We're in the process of moving documents from an old Confluence server (5.1.2) to a new instal (6.13.10) and documents on the new server are showing up as having a modified date of date of transfer.

How do I go about making changes so that I can retain the same dates on the documents as displayed previously.

Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello there! As I understand, you are currently migrating documents from one Confluence instance into another. During this process, the document creation date is altered to the copy date. Is that correct [@John Reid](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3801294) ?

++*If the movement you are executing consists of downloading files from one Confluence into another, the modification date will be altered to match the current workflow.*++This is because the files are actually changing when you download and upload them again.

++*If you need every date to be the same as what you had in the previous instance*++, you will need to export content from the old instance and then import it back into the new one.

How to create pages in a space?
Asked by Aleksandra Wierzbicka:

Answers:
author: Effrosyni Gavriilidou
body: Hello [@Aleksandra Wierzbicka](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3801216) !

You can write things and not publish them meaning that you press "Close" instead of "Update" when you are editing a page. By pressing "Close" You can save the changes. To find again the pages ,you can see them on your personal icon\>Recently worked on with the tag "UNPUBLISHED CHANGES".

For a more sophisticated alternative you can use the [App Comala Workflows](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/142/comala-document-management) that allows you to have stages on your document. One of them is "draft" where nobody sees the document except you.

Automating document creation on confluence based on JIRA activities.
Asked by Sherwin Ramezani:

Hi all,

To preface, I'm using JIRA cloud and confluence.

I'm trying to automate the creation of confluence documents based on my activities on JIRA.

For example, if I create a new epic on JIRA, I expect confluence to automatically create a new page with a template applied.

If I fill out a custom field on the same epic titled "Background Information", the document will be updated with the same information.

Furthermore, adding tasks/user stories linked to the epic should also appear in the same document.

Any idea if something like this is possible using my current suite of applications?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Edit: I'm also using a NG board , though also have access to a classic one if its only possible to do using that.

author: Marivi Almazan
body: in the Automation, you can use the command **When: Value changes for** then select a command for your conditions, then use **Then:Create page in Confluence**command.

This will let you create a confluence page. (Note: you have to create a template first in Confluence as you will be nominating this page to be created into the format you want). This is only good for the creation of page, but if you want all fields/ activities to be reflected inside the template, then I am not sure into that direction yet.
