How to manage numbered table of content when exporting to PDF ?
Asked by Jean-C?me:

When exporting to PDF, Confluence can automatically create a numbered table of content ; but the created numbering is not displayed in front of pages title. I would like my titles to have a number, the one that is displayed in the numbered table of content.

I see two solutions :

1. I find a solution to display the page title number which needs to be related to the automatic numbered table of content
2. I find a solution to create the table of content without automatic numbering. And I manually add numbering in front of my titles in each Confluence pages.

What solution can be possible ? How to do it ?

Thank you for your help,  
JC

body: Hi JC, had you considered using an app to generate your PDF content from Confluence? We (K15t) develop [Scroll PDF Exporter](https://www.k15t.com/software/scroll-pdf-exporter) and this app allows you to automatically generate a Table of Contents from the heading content included on your exported Confluence pages. Within the export templates that you can configure within the app, you can then style how this Table of Content is formatted in the PDF and make any necessary changes, such as choosing your numbering style (eg. alphabetical, Roman numerals, numbers etc) or defining the leader type which directs to the page number. If you're interested you can learn more about the app here from our [Get Started video](https://youtu.be/Ro8yoaRQ-6k) and you can also trial it for free from the [Atlassian Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/7019/scroll-pdf-exporter-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview). I hope this information helps. Cheers, Thomas (K15t).

Confluence CLI use @title@ with runFromCsv
Asked by ryder:

Hi,

I alread you the following command to create backup from pages:

```
/opt/atlassian-cli/acli confluence --action runFromPageList --space MBSU --id 1214709818 --continue --descendents --regex "A.\d.\d.\d.*" --common "--action copyPage --id @pageId@ --parent \"@title@\" --newTitle \"@title@-anf\""
```

This is quite smart, because the backup page has a similar name as the original page.

For runFromPageList it is quite necessary to use a good regex to find the right pages.

But sometimes runFromCsv is much easier.

So I used runFromCsv with modifyPage action. And inside the structure information I try to use [@title](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3525209)@. But this did not work.

Is there a way to use [@title](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3525209)@ in the structure data information?

Here is my test command using [@title](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3525209)@:

```
acli confluence --action runFromCsv --file ./test.csv --propertyFile ./cli.properties --common "--action modifyPage --space TEST --special \" #\" --findReplaceRegex \"xyz#<p>my test</p><p><br /></p><ac:structured-macro ac:name='include' ac:schema-version='1' data-layout='default' ac:macro-id='74fa2cb1-1e12-44ad-a17b-a810cb8cb943'><ac:parameter ac:name=''><ac:link><ri:page ri:content-title='@title@' ri:version-at-save='5' /></ac:link></ac:parameter></ac:structured-macro><p><br /></p>\"" ?  ?
```

Any hints?

ciao

Gliffy - "disappearing" icons after a diagram is edited
Asked by Bill Rudy:

We are experiencing an off and on problem with Gliffy diagrams where after an existing diagram is edited and saved, some icons "disappear" (do not display). However, going back into Gliffy edit mode on the diagrams, they are there, just not showing up after it is saved and you return to the Confluence page (it doesn't matter if you are in edit mode on the Confluence page or not). A workaround has been to copy/paste those same icons on top of themselves, but that has met with mixed results and is obviously not an acceptable long-term answer.

This is on v6.15 Server, by the way. I can't speak to Cloud or other versions.

Anyone else getting this and/or have any insights?


Answers:
author: Samie Kaufman - Your Gal at Gliffy
body: Yesss, thanks for dropping in a workaround! Glad there was a quick fix for you. :)


author: Bill Rudy
body: Update, tech support contacted me and had an answer. I have no idea why this works, but I tried it on several diagrams and it worked each time.

Edit the diagram, select the icon(s) that are disappearing, and select *send to back* from the toolbar, then save the diagram.

FWIW this was on Gliffy 8.6.2.


author: Samie Kaufman - Your Gal at Gliffy
body: Hi Bill!  

I know our team has been working hard on rolling out new shapes (sorry for the spoiler!), so I wonder if this is maybe related... Would you mind sending a screenshot or two to support@gliffy.com?  

I also know that we had a fix for a similar bug go out in a Gliffy update at the end of June. If you could confirm your current version with the support team, that would be really helpful!  

Thanks for your help.  

Samie  


author: Bill Rudy
body: HI Samie, and thank you for the super fast reply! Clarification: this is for inserted icons (graphics), not shapes. Email sent. Appreciate any help!

How do you alter the Blank Page template?
Asked by ????? ??????:

I want to be able to force users to use a standard company template for a page rather than starting with a truely blank page (obviously, once they edit the page they could remove the contents to have a blank page).

Is this possible?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: You don't.

The technical version of the answer is that there is no blank page template. There's nothing to template, it's offering you two fields with no prefilled data at all.

For Server/DC Confluence, there are a couple of tricks you can play where you effectively stop "create empty" from being offered to the end user (although they can still get there if they can work out the urls), which pushes them down the template route.

comments: author: ????? ??????
body: thanks


author: Maurice
body: That is a pity.  

It would be great to know how the workaround works. Any documentation on that? It's a shame that this cannot be changed without a workaround since people usually always prefer the bigger button that says "Create" (which makes a lot of sense).

Allow confluence users to see Jira issue list
Asked by tkelley:

I am trying to allow users that have access to confluence only to see a list of outstanding issues from Jira. This is a filtered list that shows only specific statuses and issue types tied to a particluar project. I have permission schema to allow users that are in user group for confluence only users to allow them to browse projects. This is still not working. I was hoping to avoid having to allow anonymous access. Any suggestions?

Though I do not want to use this as a solution either when I have granted public access to browse projects, confluence-only users are *still* receiving the error, "JIRA project doesn't exist or you don't have permission to view it."


Answers:
author: Jack Brickey
body: If the users have browse access to the Jira project then they should be able to see and open the Jira issues. Are you saying that is not the case? If the are not licensed as a Jira user and don't have browse access then they will not be able to see/access the issue.

Trouble Update license key on new server
Asked by Sara Spence:

Hello

We installed a new server recently. The full Confluence directory and its files were all copied to the new server. When we try to connect to the old database with the license key, we get the error message

Welcome to Atlassian Community. It's nice to have you join us!

It sounds like you're running into the same issue on this knowledgeable article:

* [PostgreSQL: "java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver found"](https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/postgresql-java-sql-sqlexception-no-suitable-driver-found-828780512.html)

> Entering the wrong JDBC URL syntax will also throw the same error, as illustrated in this example below where http:// protocol is accidentally specified when copy \& pasting the hostname.

As for where to direct the application to your database, see [Migrating Confluence Between Servers](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/migrating-confluence-between-servers-184150.html). I believe that steps 6 through 8 should help you with that.

Let me know if you have any trouble.

Scroll-add-on gives error message for usage of makro excerpt include plus
Asked by Kristin Beck:

Hi Atlassian community,

we have experienced massive problems with the Scroll-Add-on in conjunction with the use of a Publishing space and the embedding of makro "excerpt include plus" on certain Confluence pages.

We always embed our disclaimer in the internal space on certain Confluence pages and then, when we publish the respective page via an admin user to the Publishing Space, Confluence renders an error message as follows on the respective page in the Publishing Space:

![Scroll-add-on Error with disclaimer GMP.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/104090i0251D190CECBFA3A/image-dimensions/584x356?v=v2 "Scroll-add-on Error with disclaimer GMP.png")

The disclaimer is not being displayed correctly due to the above error.

We really hope you can help our company out since we have to manually adjust the page in the Publishing Space.

Project Configurator plugin for Jira project export & import, does it take care of Jira version?
Asked by younoos:

While using Project Configurator plugin for project export \& import, does it take care of Jira version, custom plugin version, customfield, custom workflow and other configurations?


Answers:
author: Kristian Walker _Adaptavist_
body: Hi Younous,

Thank you for your question.

I can confirm that **Project Configurator** does not handle ensuring that plugin versions or Jira versions are the same between the **source and target**instances.

This means that you will need to ensure that the source and target Jira versions are the same versions and that the plugins are installed in both instances with the same versions before undertaking a migration.

You can also see what plugins **Project Configurator** supports migrating the configuration or issue data for inside of the documentation page located [here](https://docs.adaptavist.com/pc/jira/server/latest/supported-applications.html).

Finally, I can confirm that you can see a full list of all of the configuration objects that **Project Configurator** supports inside of the documentation pages located [here](https://docs.adaptavist.com/pc/jira/server/latest/how-project-configurator-works/supported-object-types.html) and [here](https://docs.adaptavist.com/pc/jira/server/latest/how-project-configurator-works/specific-information-for-some-object-types.html).

I hope this information helps.

How to proceed when you lost your danshboard
Asked by Francoise DUCLOS:

I lots my dashboard , i can't find it, it is not in the bin, how can I re create it ?

Thanks


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: The Confluence dashboard is a fixed page, outside any spaces, it's not something you can throw away.

It is the default landing page as well - if someone just hits the base url for Confluence, they get pushed to the landing page. But you can change the landing page to be anything in your Confluence.

My guess here is that you have set your landing page to be something in a space rather than the dashboard, but someone has deleted that page.

It will be in the "trash" for the space in which the landing page was. Unless an admin has chosen to delete the entire space. Then you'll need to be thinking about restoring backups.

Missing GLIFFY Diagrams from select pages within Space
Asked by Steven Lloyd:

Recently we have noticed 4/5 GLIFFY Diagrams have seemingly disappeared from selected pages within a space. There is no trace of the attachments in the "Page Attachments" or in the "Space Trash". All pages were only updated with the Diagram once, so the Page History doesn't show a previous version containing the image. When loading the page where the GLIFFY Diagram should be present is a continuous loading, hopefully attached to the question. When looking into the Chrome Browser Console you can see that it is looking for the relevantly named attachment, but absolutely no trace of how this attachment was removed. I am unable to replicate the issue (Exporting, Removing, Deleting) incase it was potentially a user mistake but there is no trail. Haas anyone had any similar issues with missing GLIFFY Diagrams, or missing attachment?

I just checked our open support tickets and I'm not seeing a similar issue. Would you mind emailing these details to support@gliffy.com?   

One potential issue I can think of --- do you know who the original author of those 4 diagrams is? I wonder if they changed the permissions or, if the diagram was linked from their personal space/another space, perhaps they made a change or moved things in a way that broke the link? Just another potential avenue to check out.   

Thanks for your help! Our awesome support folks can help pinpoint this. :)

comments: author: Steven Lloyd
body: Afternoon Samie,

I hope you are well,

I have raised a ticket which is currently with Tanika, who advised checking the console, I can't seem to see a ticket reference.

Yeah so the author I know the author, he raised the original query to myself as I administer the site. I don't believe anything has changed, I did see an archived space which was similar and reached out to the author, but was advised that all GLIFFY Diagrams were visible after the Archive had been made, as one Page had been split into a few. But my confusion is to absolute zero trace of anything changing between them being visible and them not.

Thank you for getting back to me.

Cheers

Steven

How to search by date macro
Asked by Edgar BM:

Hi,

I'd like to know how to look for every page with a date macro within it with a specific date set up.

That's the situation: I've got a page with this content:

![Confluence date macro.jpg](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/104064i6D2D7FE0E4B4B1C3/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Confluence date macro.jpg")

...so I'd like to find all pages with the date macro on "23/07/2020", as the one in the example.

Is there any option to make it up? I couldn't find it on the docs.

Thank you!

Edgar BM


Answers:
author: Katerina Rudkovskaya [Stiltsoft]
body: Hi [@Edgar BM](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4024458) ,  

I would advise you to try using standard [Page Properties Report](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/page-properties-report-macro-186089616.html) macro and [Table Filter](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Filter+macro) of[Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) app in this case.  

Please note that the Page Properties macro detects only the first row of the table.  

1.Wrap tables where dates are in the first row with [Page Properties](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/page-properties-report-macro-186089616.html).  

2.Insert [Page Properties Report](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/page-properties-report-macro-186089616.html) on a new page and wrap it with [Table Filter](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Filter+macro) for filtration.  

![2020-07-23_19h43_55.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/104148i329D53529C9CF44C/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "2020-07-23_19h43_55.png")  
3. After all, choose Date filter and define other options if needed in the macro browser.  

Best regards,  
Katerina  
Stiltsoft

comments: author: Edgar BM
body: Thank you for your reply, Katerina!

I was thinking in something less specific, including more general content pages as dates won't be always on tables but on other text \& macros.

I was hoping a "Date Filter" to be applied to any content search in order to find every single date noted on documents. Even more, it would be great if I could also find a way to look for pages updated versions on a date.

Maybe I'm dreaming...?

Issues with two Macro - 1 . Excel Macro , 1. Leave calendar macro
Asked by Rajiv Jha:

1. Excel macro is non functional , I remember 5 to 6 years back it used to work fine . The issue is that the Excel is not rendered in the page properly and that implies with even the simplified ones .

2. I could not find calendar macro . It used to exist long back .


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello [@Rajiv Jha](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4024362) !

As I understand, you are coming back to Confluence after about 5 years and some macros do not behave or are not present as before.

Let us start by looking at your first question:
> 1. Excel macro is non functional , I remember 5 to 6 years back it used to work fine . The issue is that the Excel is not rendered in the page properly and that implies with even the simplified ones .

Some questions about your situation:
> 1. *Is this happening in all pages where you placed the macro?*
> 2. *Is this happening regardless of the browser used?*

Moving into our documentation, there is a statement in the Excel Macro page that says the following:
> *A note on the Excel macro*
>
> *We've received feedback that the Excel macro doesn't meet expectations in some cases. There are some known issues with it right now, which are detailed below. So why are we proceeding with the rollout? We're making infrastructure changes for the overall benefit of Confluence users, but they mean that we can't keep the old Office and PDF macros working much longer. We need to proceed with the rollout so we can move forward with the infrastructure changes that have a much wider impact than this macro.*
>
> *In saying that, we, of course, genuinely care about every user's experience with Confluence, and always want it to be the best. If you're having real trouble with the new file viewer in the Excel macro, comment on this issue and let us know. There unfortunately isn't a short-term fix, as we do need to move off the old Excel macro, but we'll keep working on a better solution for the Excel macro.*

Here is the complete documentation on the macro:
> * ++***[\[Confluence Cloud\] Insert the Office Excel macro](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-office-excel-macro/)***++

Now, looking at your second topic, I believe that you are talking about the Team Calendars plugin.

Team Calendars is a first-party (Atlassian made) plugin for Confluence Cloud and Server. You can check more information about the plugin here:
> * ++***[\[Atlassian\] Team Calendars for Confluence](https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/team-calendars)***++

It is really likely that your Confluence site does not have the plugin installed, which would explain calendars not being available.

Let us hear from you!

Add new label link to Children display

Hi, I would like how to add a new link into a Children Display


Answers:
author: Dominic Lagger
body: Hi [@Diego Encina Galnares](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4024339)

Do you mean the [Children Display Macro](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-children-display-macro/)?
> Use the Children Display macro to list the child pages of the page on which the macro is inserted. By default, the macro displays links to the child pages. People viewing the page will see only the links for pages that they have permission to view.

So you only have to create a new Child page.

If you want to add a independent link, this is not possible.
