Can a Confluence Cloud space Home page name not have the word "Home" in it?
Asked by Ruth Gordon:

Our site Overview page name has been edited to "\[company name\]", but on the landing page for the site the page name is "\[company name\] Home". I don't want the word "Home" on this page but it seems to be outside my settings management. Can the word "Home" be removed from the site Homepage?


Answers:
author: Patrick Cartier [Candylio]
body: Yes, you can edit a space homepage to remove the name home. You just need to be the space admin according to this answer:

<https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/rename-space/qaq-p/288995>

For the site homepage, since you can make that almost any page you want to, you can edit that name too:

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/configuring-the-site-homepage-724765517.html>

Hope this helps.

How do I set the page title for a new space template?
Asked by James Oxford:

I want to create a new space template (or maybe blueprint?) for Weekly Reports. I want new Weekly Reports pages that users create to have similar formatted page titles, but I can't figure out how to set the page title format when I create the template.

The "Meeting Notes" blueprint is a good example of what I'm trying to accomplish. When I create a new Meeting Notes page, the page title is pre-populated with "\[today's date\] Meeting Notes". I was hoping to learn the trick by opening the Meeting Notes template to edit, but that didn't help me because I can't see where the page title is being set.

I also don't see how to include \[today's date\] in the template so that the current date is populated automatically (no reason to add it as a form variable, unless that's my only option) when users create a new page from my template.

Thanks in advance for the help! I'm using Confluence 6.6.2.


Answers:
author: Erik Boelen
body: Maybe a little late for [@James Oxford](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1338631) , but it might help others:

To set a page title, possibly including todays date, you should create a button on a page (most likely the main page under which the Weekly reports will be saved) using the macro "**Create from template**". In the settings of this macro you can specify the page title of pages to be created, in which you can use: @currentDate Weekly Report

This will generate pages using your template, with the specified title format.


author: Shannon S
body: James,

Blueprints are separate from Templates.

Blueprints are developed like add-ons. You can read more about that here: [Confluence Blueprints](https://developer.atlassian.com/server/confluence/confluence-blueprints/)

The ones that come with your instance are not editable to your needs, unfortunately.

I did find a question below that asks about the same thing, and has a User Macro suggestion if you'd like to take a look there:

* [Is it possible to prefill a page title based on a template](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Is-it-possible-de-prefill-a-page-title-based-on-a-template/qaq-p/203821)

Unable to Create Pages or Spaces. The Popup Loads Forever,
Asked by Larry Gary:

Confluence Support,

We just installed Confluence on it's own dedicated Ubuntu server. This is our first experience with Confluence. All installation options were default values. This was not an update or upgrade. This was our first and only installation of Confluence.

* As the Confluence admin, I set the Base URL to "**Project1.OurSite.com**". That was done using standard Confluence admin options (no update to any XML or config files.)
* We updated our domain DNS record and added "Project1.OurSite.com" to point to the public IP address of the Confluence web site.
* The add-on to check for the Base URL was disabled because it kept popping up a message and wouldn't go away.

When we navigate to Confluence using the IP address, all is well. Everything works. We can click the button to Create a new web page. However, when we navigate to the Confluence web site using "**<http://Project1.OurSite.com>**", the button to create a new page is unresponsive. The pop-up appears but then loads forever. It's not responding.

What steps can I take to resolve this issue? We would like our users to use the address for **<http://Project1.OurSite.com>** and not the IP address. If you say to shutdown Confluence, or check a log, or make an update to some database entry, then can you provide links to help us understand how to actually shut down Confluence, access a log file, or make an update to a database? Thank you.

Question about displaying rows from the Jira-Macro through a Table-filter.
Asked by Michael Prewitt:

I am using the Table-filter in order to help pull Jira data from the Jira-Macro. The data pulls fine... The problem I have is that in the Table-Filter, I can set how many rows I want to display of the table. This is good cause I don't want to look at the whole freaking (yes, freaking is a technical word that means "A Lot of Rows") table of output.   

The issue come when I do a search for something through the filter. When there is, let's say 47 rows that fit the filter criteria, and the Table-Filter--\>Table View--\>'Show first N rows' says 15, you only see the first 15 rows of the search. Is there a way I can have a default when the Table-Filter values aren't set, then have something different when you're actually filtering something?  

Thanks


Answers:
author: Andrey Khaneev _StiltSoft_
body: Hello Michael,

You can use modifier N+ in [Show first N rows](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/TableFilter/Managing+Look+of+the+Table+and+Filtration+Pane#ManagingLookoftheTableandFiltrationPane-ShowingFirstNRows) option, in your example you need to set it to 15+.
Page moved from a different space does not show up in the new space's content report table
Asked by Joe Farrell:

I had a page that was located in space A, and I moved it to a new space (space B). Inside of space B, there is a "How-to" page with a Content Report Table that lists and links all of the how to articles in this space. However, the Content Report Table does NOT list the page that was moved from space A, BUT on the side navigation, I can see the link for the page that was moved.

I would like to know why the page and link is showed in the side navigation, but is not listed in the Content Report Table.


Answers:
author: Joe Farrell
body: I figured out the issue. The Content Report Table was only looking for pages that had this label: kb-how-to-article

Once the new page had that label, is shows in the list.

comments: author: Meg Holbrook
body: Happy you were able to answer your own question!

I was going to suggest checking the report filters and labels.

Confluence page including image with links
Asked by Big Jim:

Hi

I would like to setup a confluence page with an image (png) and want areas of the image to link to either specific JIRA tickets or other confluence report pages. Is this possible ?

I have uploading the image and editing the source code to set image maps but each time I save my updates are lost.


Answers:
author: Big Jim
body: Thanks Nils,

To answer my own question I tried Creately but the url link always opened in a new undocked window so I finally settled on Gliffy which works perfectly. Hope this helps others.


author: Nils Bier _K15t_
body: Hi Jim,

With plain Confluence you can only link the whole image to a certain page (attachment, or web page).

Maybe [Scroll ImageMap](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/de.dl.confluence.plugin.imagemap.ImageMapPlugin/server/overview) is an app that can be added to your system. It offers exactly the functionality you're asking for: [Defining multiple clickable areas to different targets](https://help.k15t.com/scroll-imagemap/server/get-started-114102034.html).

Please feel free to give it a try and reach out to us via [support@k15t.com](mailto:support@k15t.com) in case you have any specific questions.

Cheers,  
Nils


author: Big Jim
body: Thanks a lot Elisabeth

Unfortunately we don't have that plugin And I understand it can't be added. I was hoping there was some way to do this without plugins as it seems something that many users might want to do.

Is there no way to do this in word and import to confluence ?


author: Elizabeth Jarvis
body: Hi Jim, If you have the draw.io plugin, I have had really good luck in adding links to images or diagrams (both within other confluence pages, outside of confluence, and to areas on the same confluence page if it contains a table of contents).

The one drawback is that on your image, you'll usually need some type of text added on top of the image in draw.io to add the link to.

Best, Elizabeth

Confluence - Session Timeout Message while adding picture or files
Asked by Knut_Luebke:

Dear support-team,

we have the follow problem. The follow Session-Timeout messages occures sometimes, if we try to add a picture or file to a article.

![error Upload Pic.PNG](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/21308i6B6D5AB9D44096DD/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "error Upload Pic.PNG")

The message says something like: "Your Session is terminated. Maybe you need to send the form again or reload the page."

We try it by the follow way. We enter into the edit-mode and try to add it by using the upload-function for files and pictures, like this picture shows.

![uploadFiles.PNG](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/21307i43CFBC596FFCE525/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "uploadFiles.PNG")

We need to close the upload-dialog. We leave the edit-Mode. And try it again. Sometimes it works by the second try and sometimes not... We need to try it again and again. The user-session isnt timeout out. The user is not logged out and there is not much time left between the actions. We are doing the described actions continuous without breaks.

We are using:

* Confluence 6.0.3
* Browser: FireFox Quantum 59.0.3

I liked to upload the current support.zip. But i dont find a possibility to upload a file.

However, how can we aviod this behaviour?

I\`m looking forward to get your help.

Kind Regards

Team Calendar and JIRA issue due dates
Asked by odymattpark:

Morning Community,

One is having trouble with Team calendars, specifically adding Jira Issues Dates in to them. The create event seems to be lacking required fields:

![Team_Calendars_-_Confluence.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/21304iF8D170467A9DE55B/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Team_Calendars_-_Confluence.png")

Application link between Jira and Conflunce is a-ok, no trouble adding the Jira widgets to confluence for example.

Jira - 7.9.0

Confluence - 6.8.1

Anyone come across this issue before?

Many thanks,

Matt


Answers:
author: AnnWorley
body: HI Matt,

I Installed Jira 7.9 and Confluence 6.8.1 and saw the same result as in your screen shot, but after I set the Application links to "OAuth with impersonation" the Jira fields showed up:

![Screen Shot 2018-05-04 at 12.17.02 PM.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/21346iD5D66CC0E2FE3117/image-dimensions/396x346?v=v2 "Screen Shot 2018-05-04 at 12.17.02 PM.png")

This article explains the two kinds of OAuth and the implications of each, and has screen shots showing how to edit the application links: [OAuth security for application links](https://confluence.atlassian.com/applinks/oauth-security-for-application-links-774045732.html)

I also noticed that once I established an OAuth token in Jira (with the Login and Approve prompt) that also seemed to make the Jira fields visible in Team Calendars.

I look forward to hearing whether you can see the Jira fields in your Team Calendars events after changing the application links to use impersonation.

Thanks,

Ann

Unable to permanently stop watching a page
Asked by Christopher Zeuch:

There are at least two Confluence pages that default to **Watching** no matter what I do.  

If I untick the **Watch Page** option on the page itself and then refresh the page, it automatically changes back to **Watching** .  

Even if I go into Settings -\> Watches and click on **Stop Watching** from there, the page will default back to **Watching** once I refresh it.  

I did not create the page or contribute in any way.

Does anyone know what would cause this and how to stop this from happening?
