Cloud: how can I add page number in the footer within a single confluence page and how can an image be added in the header?
Asked by Nick Boogaard:

Hi,

How is it possible to add the page number in the footer of every page in Space Tools -\> Look and Feel -\> PDF layout section? the counter(page) doesn't seem to work there.

Also, How is it possible to add an image in the header of every page in Space Tools -\> Look and Feel -\> PDF layout section?

Is there anything like this that works?


Answers:
author: Sam Hall
body: Hi Nick,

For the page number, you need to set both PDF Layout and PDF Stylesheet:

**PDF Layout**

pdf-layout.jpg

**PDF Stylesheet**

**pdf-stylesheet.jpg\\**

Info here: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/customize-exports-to-pdf-724764825.html#CustomizeExportstoPDF-PageNumbering>

Note that it only works for space exports (not single page exports via **Tools** \> **Export to PDF**).

Is it possible to keep the Creation Date and Original Creator when moving to another space (instead of changing it to the "mover")?
Asked by noquestionsasked:


Answers:
author: Rob Woodgate
body: Hi Gabriel,

Yes, when you copy a page you're creating a new page with the same content as the page you're copying. So the Creation Date and Original Creator will be as if you're just creating a new page.

One lesser-known fact as well: People who were watching the original page won't be watching the copy, so if you want the same people to watch the copy, you either need to tell them to watch it, or, if you're a space administrator, you can click Manage Watchers on the Watch panel and add watchers to your new page. Hope that helps.


author: noquestionsasked
body: Hey Rob

Thanks for your super fast answer! :smile:

Ah, sorry, I made a mistake: I meant to say, when you copy a page, not move it..!

I guess it makes sense though, that it's getting a new creator since it's handled as a new page?


author: Rob Woodgate
body: Hi Gabriel,

If you move a page from one space to another, it won't affect the Creation Date or Original Creator. These are properties of the page that moved with the page, as is the complete history of the page.

I've just tested this by moving a page created by another user from one space to another, and then back again. The Creation Date and Original Creator have not changed at all. Do they change when you move a page to another space?
how to shrink a macro in edit mode
Asked by samuel_ball?:

Macros take often a lot of space in display when editing. It is not user friendly as once set most of them have no interresting display in edit mode for end user. even more, it is pollluting reading space and some users can break them easily.

I would like to have a sort of ![plus](/html/@FFB122F77CA920A8EA19F633E8E71F4E/images/emoticons/plus.png "plus") ![minus](/html/@E63A1362032AF9D4C4C2BC978871E2BC/images/emoticons/minus.png "minus") button on any macro title so I indicate if I want it displayed shrinked or not in edit mode.

Is there any plugin or functionnality that does it in confluence ?


Answers:
author: Rob Woodgate
body: Hi Samuel,

There's nothing in Confluence that'll do what you want in Edit mode, although I can see why it would be useful if you're using those nested plugins especially.

If you want to request this functionality you can add a feature request at <https://jira.atlassian.com/secure/Dashboard.jspa>.

Sample of what I mean by macros taking space

Expand macro is for view mode, it has nothing usable in edit mode as it just make the used space even bigger. And in fact, in read mode I do not want it hidden ! their computed result is fine.

Some macros take a lot of space in edit mode when you would like to have a similar experience in edit mode than view mode.

I added an example in my question. Also code macro has a view shrinkable option, but in edit mode can be huge.

That is why having this expand/shrink button that memorize the last display choice in edit mode would facilitate integration by non experts of confluence.


author: Rob Woodgate
body: Hi Samuel,

In Edit mode, macros are normally shown as a small grey rectangle, so they shouldn't take up much space. Unfortunately there's no way to hide them in Edit mode.

However, you can use the [Expand macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/expand-macro-223222352.html) to create an expandable section. Add your macro to this, and then in Read mode the macro will be hidden until the user expands the section.

Answers:
author: Rob Woodgate
body: Hi Julia,

When you choose to watch a space, you'll get notifications for everything that happens on every page (as long as you have permission to view that page). There is no way to choose which of these notifications you get, you either get all of them, or you get none of them.

From the user point of view, there is a **Notify watchers** checkbox at the bottom of each page. This can be turned off by the user before they save their changes, but this isn't recommended because watching pages and receiving notifications about changes is a big part of the collaborative functionality of Confluence.

If you're getting too many emails then you should consider not watching the entire space, especially if the space has a lot of activity.

JAMA vs Requirements Yogi
Asked by rajkumar balraj:

JAMA vs Requirements Yogi which one should I use? Does anyone have any advice. Requriements Yogi might integrate will with Atlassian framework. Is there any downside. Is there ways to pull requirements from requirements Yogi through API for automation?


Answers:
author: Mike Rathwell
body: Raj,

We have both at our shop and do tend to use JAMA for the rather larger requirement sets and Requirements Yogi for smaller efforts. HOWEVER, RY is getting more and more robust with each release and is starting to supplant JAMA for bigger and bigger efforts.

If you haven't anything in place yet and your requirements sets aren't the type of thing that runs to thousands of requirements then it would be Requirements Yogi hands down. The big ticket (for me) would be one less server to have to maintain and operate coupled with the bulk of the content is CONFLUENCE Content vs. content somewhere else. Makes it rather easier as the project progresses to keep ALL the content in one place and environment. When one adds in the ability to create matrices, link in JIRA issues, and the rest, more and more it is Yogi.

I also have to say that the guys at PlaySQL are seriously helpful every time I've ever had to reach out to them. A good outfit all round.

Hope this helps.

When I assign a task to someone, do they get an email?

Answers:

It will be the parent page of your meeting notes page. It's created automatically when you first use the meeting notes blueprint to create some meeting notes.

In that case your best bet is to run through the troubleshooting guide I linked to above. If nothing in there helps, or you want someone to run through it for you, you'll need to log a support call.

Because all other aspects of the link are working, it's probably one setting somewhere (or the change just hasn't filtered through yet), but I'll admit that this is a strange one. I've seen the application link not work, but I've never seen one specific element of it fail when everything else works....

Walktrough for confluence?
Asked by Consu:

Hello everyone, I wanted to ask if anyone has any experience in creating walktrough tutorials for Confluence.

I see that in recently you have popups showing on the dashboard telling what is new in the interfaceDashboard - BirdLife Pa_-extranet_birdlife_org183-.jpg

I wonder if I have a way to customise those popups and/or show them only to first time users. I also think to new users a very basic guide is already shown, but it is not sufficiently customised for my needs.

Do you have any idea if this is achievable in any way?

Confluence - export space as it was last year
Asked by Thomas Schlegel:

Hi,

does anyone know, if it is possible to export a Confluence space as it was at a specific date?

For auditing reasons, we need to view and export a whole space as it was last year.

Thank you for your suggestions

Thomas


Answers:
author: Tim Eddelb?ttel
body: I would say it is not possible.

The only way to do this now historical is to restore a backup on a test server and export this version.

For the future i think that the Scroll Versions or Copy Space extension can help you.


author: Rob Woodgate
body: Hi Thomas,

Atlassian keep disaster recovery backups for 7 days on Cloud, so if you're on Cloud you're out of luck. If you have a hosted version your host might well have backups from a year ago, depending on what your agreement says (and if they don't then upgrade your agreement from today onwards!). If you host your own then presumably you don't have backups, otherwise you wouldn't ask this question.

Assuming you don't have access to a backup, tt is possible to see what content was in the space on a certain date, but it'll be a very long and laborious process which assumes you've never purged the trash in the space.

Essentially you need to export the space to another Confluence instance, view the history for every single page and revert the page back to the version that matches the time you're looking for. Delete pages that were created later than a year ago. You'll then need to go through the trash and restore every page and attachment that's appropriate, as well as making sure that macros point to what they should, e.g. if you have a JIRA Issue filter that shows the current sprint you'll need to change the JQL manually to point at the sprint from a year ago. Then, if necessary, you'll have to revert the JIRA items to the same status as they were a year ago......

It could get very messy, and there's no guarantee you'll be seeing exactly what you saw a year ago. But you can do it at least to a point.

It's not much help now, but you can export spaces from Cloud, hosted or self-hosted yourself - you might want to consider taking a monthly export of each space just to be certain in case this situation comes up again.

How to increase attachment size for certain filename extensions only?
Asked by Martin H.:

Is it possible to define the maximum attachment size based on filename extensions?  
In our case, it should be possible to have a higher limit for mp4 video files only.


Answers:
author: Rob Woodgate
body: Hi Martin,

No, you can only increase the maximum file size for attachments, not for specific types of attachment. If you have video files larger than the maximum file size, you might find it easier to host them somewhere else and and link to them in Confluence. The Widget Connector or Multimedia macros can be used to embed them in the page so that users don't have to leave Confluence to view them.

Exporting space configuration (a.o. Global Templates and Bleuprints)
Asked by johan iojo:

Hi,

I'm using the export facility to export an entire space. I always select to export 'everything'.

But it seems that 'only' the content of the space is exported, not its configuration (e.g. all defined Global Templates and Bleuprints seem not to be exported as well, as I detect after importing the space into another site).

Is there a way to also/include the complete space configuration into an export?


Answers:
author: Rob Woodgate
body: Hi Johan,

Global Templates and Blueprints are not part of the space configuration, they're part of the global Confluence instance. So when you export a space you're only exporting the things specific to that space.

If you want to export a Global Template or Blueprint, there is a well-explained method in [this answer](https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/39200/is-there-a-way-to-export-a-global-template-for-use-in-another-instance-of-confluence).
