Export to PDF results in a Page Not Found error
Asked by dmothersdill:

When trying to export to PDF, instead of downloading the file, Confluence navigates to the file location on the server and, because there is only a PDF in there, displays a 404 error.

Does anyone know why this is happening? It seems to have happened suddenly as there as never been an issue with saving to PDF before.


Answers:
author: Igor M.
body: Hello,

A number of things you can check:

* You can try clearing plug-ins cache by following steps in: [How to clear confluence plugins cache](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-clear-confluence-plugins-cache-297664846.html) .
* Check if Confluence is starting with a designated user account that has access to confluence home directory, in particularly **/temp**, in case permissions are set to let's say "confluence" and service is started with root by an accident
* Try bypassing proxy, as proxy case it might be blocking certain files or requests
* If your instance is running on Windows, try deleting the "path to file" from URL until you only see a file name, for example if you have "c:/confluence/temp/filename.pdf" or something similar, leave only filename.pdf

Let me know how it goes.

Regards,

Igor

comments: author: dmothersdill
body: Thanks for you reply. Unfortunately none of these worked.

Should the export to PDF process be redirecting to the folder with the PDF in it? This is what seems to be happening.

FYI, Confluence is running off a Centos server.


author: Igor M.
body: Hello,

* Have you checked if file location you are redirected to contains generated PDF file?
* What OS are you using?
* What is confluence version?
* What is the URL you are seeing when you get 404?

Export to PDF dies not redirect, it tried to pull generated file, but is blocked by something, so it just throws 404 error and showed URL to file, hence why I wanted you to check proxy and disk permissions as primary culprit.

Regards,

Igor

I would recommend using WebDAV for this:

Please take a moment to review that article and let me know if you have any questions.

Is there a way to prevent people with shared access to a calendar from editing *your* events?
Asked by sam hefford:

Currently using v6.0.14 of Team Calendars  

We would like to create a shared calendar that acts as a kind of "resources" calendar..  

For example, we would have several meeting rooms. People can add events to those meeting room calendars and therefore we can keep track of which rooms are in use at what time.  

Unfortunately with it being a shared calendar someone could (in theory) come along and move some other persons booking up a day. Claiming that time for themselves.  

Is there a way to guard against this without applying strict restrictions to the calendar to only be editable by certain people?

For instance a setting that makes it so that only you can edit/move your own events?

Additionally, is there a feature for a resource-scheduling like calendar that also has functionality like preventing double booking etc?


Answers:
author: R. Fuerst
body: Hi Sam,

There is not currently a way to restrict specific events from other users if a calendar is shared with them or they have access to the space in which it was created. Restrictions can only be made across an entire calendar. You can read more about calendar restrictions [here](https://confluence.atlassian.com/teamcal/restrict-a-calendar-660737259.html.).

That said, it looks like there's an open Feature Request to add the ability to restrict events:

* [CONFSERVER-53340](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-53340)

Per the [Atlassian New Features Policy](https://confluence.atlassian.com/support/implementation-of-new-features-policy-201294576.html), please comment on the ticket to let our product team know how this would benefit your team.

With regard to your second question about resource-scheduling - again, there is no feature for this currently in Team Calendars. I think it's a great suggestion, so I've gone ahead and created a new feature request on your behalf:

* [CONFSERVER-56080](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-56080)

Similarly, please vote and comment on the feature to provide more insight to the Confluence product team!

Thanks,

Rachel

I'm not sure but I think that the plugin you are talking is deprecated and no longer working with recent versions of SonarQube.

As I can see in GitHub, latest release is three years old:

Is that the plugin you are talking about?

did not get any emails from cofluence calendar events
Asked by Bonnie:

outgoning mail is set

latest version

alert turned on

still not get any emails


Answers:
author: AnnWorley
body: Hi Bonnie,

Since you mentioned you are on the latest version of Confluence, it sounds like you are using Confluence 6.10 and your organization is hosting it. Is that correct or do you use Confluence Cloud? (If your URL ends with .atlassian.net then it is Cloud.)

To help us narrow down the issue, please let us know:

* Do you get emails for other activity in Confluence, outside of calendar events?
* You mentioned the alert is turned on, does that mean you are watching the calendar as described in [Watch a Calendar](https://confluence.atlassian.com/teamcal/watch-a-calendar-247070749.html)?
* Do other users get emails from the calendar you are watching?
* Was there a time when you did get the emails from the calendar or has it never worked?
* Do you get emails from other calendars on the Confluence instance?
* Was Confluence upgraded and if so, was Team Calendars also upgraded?
* Are you adding the events that you don't get notified for? If so, you may need to tick the box for "notify on my actions" in the [Confluence email settings](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/email-notifications-145162.html).

I look forward to hearing more about your case.

Thanks,

Is there a way to copy a part of text automatically from several pages into one page?
Asked by Rebekka:

Hi,

In our meetings, we sometimes discuss topics about the company goals. The discussion is being documented in the meeting notes. If you want to know the status about a goal, you need to click through all meeting notes to find the last status.

This is very time-consuming since most of the times you don't remember in which meeting you talked about it.

Therefore, I'm looking for a solution, that allows me to set up a Page called. e.g. company goals, where, everytime you talk about a goal in a meeting, you can set a marker or something similar and it automatically copies that text into the company goals page.

Is this possible?

I tried it with Multiexcerpt, but there you are only able to copy the notes after you linked them in the company goals page.

Thanks,

Rebekka

Can't create applink from Confluence to Jira
Asked by Eddy Fras:

Hi,

I'm trying to create an app link from Confluence 6.6 to Jira 7.6.

When I enter the URL to my jira site, I get a "please enter a valid URL" message and a com.atlassian.applinks.api.TypeNotInstalledException in log file.

For information, Confluence is using the Jira user directory using the same URL so there is no network issue between both servers.

In the logs, I also have regular error messages concerning app links :

\[atlassian.applinks.core.DefaultApplicationLinkService\] retrieveApplicationLink Couldn't find type id for application link with id XXXX. Link is corrupted

ToC Entries in Context
Asked by richardofrugeley:

In the following example, I would like to include a localised Table of Contents at the beginning of each Group instead of the whole page. The list numbering indicates where Heading 1 and Heading 2 styles are used.

1. Group A
   1. section a
   2. section b
   3. section c
2. Group B
   1. list a
   2. list b

There will be a Group A ToC and a Group B ToC, each itemising the heading 2 styles below the Group but ignoring any other Heading 2 styles on the page.

The Help documentation explains that the Exclude feature in the ToC macro uses regular expressions (a reference to Sun documentation is given but this is over my head) but no examples are given. Is my example above even possible?


Answers:
author: Fabienne Gerhard
body: Hi [@richardofrugeley](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/629007)

you can put each Group into a ToC Zone macro - like it's described [here](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/table-of-content-zone-macro-189890742.html).

Put the whole content of each group into a ToC Zone macro and choose top for the location where the table is shown and it should work.

What happens to the attachments when we purge a page
Asked by Neha Sharma:

Hi,

I was cleaning up my confluence server data last day and had a few doubts.

1) When we delete pages, the deleted pages are stored in the Space tools -\> Content tools -\> Trash section from where we can either Restore or Purge them (permanently delete them). What happens to the attachments that were attached to those specific pages? Are they also deleted along with them or retained in the Attachments section ?

2) Instead of deleting a page, when we delete a space directly, I guess all the pages under that space are deleted permanently (along with the attachments too ?) ? Or is there some other scenario when we directly delete a space ?

Thanks,

Neha


Answers:
author: Igor M.
body: Hello,

When deleting a page and moving it to trash, attachment together with page data remain in your instance in case these will need to be restored later. If page is purged from trash, then page and it's attachments are gone forever. This is explained in [Delete or Restore a Page](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/delete-or-restore-a-page-139429.html) guide. Same thing happens to Space, if Space is deleted, it's attachments and pages are gone forever, and can only be recovered from backup.

Igor
