Edit Overview page name does not take
Asked by jim schrempp:

I edit the Overview page for a Space. The edit seems to take, the name is changed. But when I publish the page it still has the original name, which is the name of the space.

Specifically, I called the space "PublicWiki". I then edited the Overview page to change the name to "Our Wiki Home". It shows that way on the edited page. If I go to the Space Tools the Home Page is "Our Wiki Home"

Yet, when the page is viewed the title remains "PublicWiki".

I'm new to Confluence. Am I missing something fundamental?

Jim


Answers:
author: Bruno Miretti
body: Hi,

the Overview page shows the space title and not the page title. If you want its name to be changed to "Our wiki Home", you have to change the space name from the "Space tools" option then "Space details" tab.

Hope this helps

Bruno

comments: author: jim schrempp
body: Thanks. That worked. I had been to the space tools page, but the little \[edit\] link was visually very close to the Space Logo and I assumed that was just to change the logo. For a newbie it would be better to have the \[edit\] link float further to the right so it's obvious that it edits all fields on that page.

Thanks again for the help.

Remove "lasted edited by" from top of pages - Cloud version
Asked by jim schrempp:

Every page, except the Overview, has a big element right up top that says when the page was last edited. It's very distracting.

A google search said to remove it

Confluence Admin \> Look \& Feel \> Stylesheet.

But when I go there I do not see a Stylesheet link.

Any advice?

Thanks,

Jim


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hi Jim,

It is not possible to make such a customization on Cloud. The Google search results you found are likely for Confluence Server rather than Cloud. Please feel free to send me the article you found if you'd like me to confirm that for you.

I would recommend voting for and following these feature requests:

* [CONFCLOUD-30449 - Hide page author and page history from certain users](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-30449)

* [](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-30449)[CONFCLOUD-57458 - Provide a way to hide author and last modified information](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-57458 "CONFCLOUD-57458 - Provide a way to hide author and last modified information")

Kind regards,

Shannon

comments: author: jim schrempp
body: Thanks. I voted them up. Hard to believe some designer thought that information belonged in a visually hot place.


author: Shannon S
body: Thanks, Jim!

Confluence is widely used as a Collaboration Software so a lot of users will find it helpful to have that information right at the top, but it's understandable that some companies do not desire this information. In those cases we can hope for one of the feature requests to be accepted and implemented.

Take care and have a pleasant rest of your week.

Kind regards,

Shannon


author: jim schrempp
body: I understand your perspective. I have been in wiki collaboration with teams of about 50 and we would have found this current feature unhelpful. Just sayin'


author: Shannon S
body: Hi Jim,

I agree with you in your case since it sounds like you have a lot of users that are just read-only on the wiki. I believe the first feature, to hide it from certain users (and groups) might just be the best case for you. If this were implemented then you could have your group for users that only read and don't contribute, therefore they don't need to see who edited it, and then for example admins, who might need to see those details.

You can provide your usage case then on the first one (as I see you commented on the 2nd). When other users search in Jira for the same scenario they will automatically be brought to that issue and be able to vote as well

Take care!

Shannon

What's the best way to transfer content between two different instances of Confluence?
Asked by Darrel Lee:

Is there portable export / import format. I will probably use export to Word and then import the document on the other site. But I'm sure that will result in a loss of functionality.


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Darrel,

What kind of content are you interested in moving?

The **best** way is of course to use our XML exports:

* [Restoring a space](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/restoring-a-space-152036.html)
* [Migrating Confluence between servers](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/migrating-confluence-between-servers-184150.html)

If you only want to migrate a single page, copying/pasting the entire page from Editor mode would probably work best. If you export a single page to Word and import it again you may lose some functionality, such as macros and certain formatting.

I hope this helps, but let me know if you have any questions.

Kind regards,

Shannon

Website style confluence page
Asked by Marina:

Hi, Does anyone know how I can create a confluence page that appears to look more like a website? I've seen so many YouTube videos where they are creating these fancy confluence pages but none of them tell you what add-ons to get. My confluence page just looks like a giant Email message.The layout options are limited and it doesn't look like a website.

I got the Handy Button add on which helped add some color and drop down menus etc. But I need better layout options and panels..or different color banners on the top of the page..much like how the Atlassian site looks like a website. My pages are for internal use only but it would still be nice to have a better looking page that looks like a website.

Any suggestions?


Answers:
author: Aron Gombas _Midori_
body: Marina, what you look for is called "themes".

Confluence can apply themes for each space, and there are add-ons that provide very spectacular and highly configurable themes.

Query page table in search result
Asked by Paul Craven:

Hello,

We are new to Confluence and would like to know how we can query a table on a page to show only the records from the table that match a certain criteria.

For example, I have attached an image that shows a simple table where we would like to show in a search or report the rows only that the "system team" = "Warehouse Staff".

Also, could this be done against many pages based on the same user template?

![confluence table query sample.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/10133iFF67A7FBA59DC81E/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "confluence table query sample.png")


Answers:
author: Andrey Khaneev _StiltSoft_
body: I see two possible solutions for filtering tables on multiple pages:

1. You can create a page template with [Table Filter](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.stiltsoft.confluence.plugin.tablefilter.tablefilter/cloud/overview?_ga=2.196495596.1326618596.1512914379-988009106.1488206381) macro with predefined filters and a sample table to fill in. Then users can create such pages with filters.
2. You can create one page with [Table Filter](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.stiltsoft.confluence.plugin.tablefilter.tablefilter/cloud/overview?_ga=2.196495596.1326618596.1512914379-988009106.1488206381) macro and a number of [Page Include](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/include-page-macro-139514.html) macros (or [Excerpt Include](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/excerpt-include-macro-148067.html) macros) which will include all the tables you want to filter.

comments: author: Paul Craven
body: Thanks Andrey, I will pass this onto our developer to test. Thanks for taking the time to respond.


author: Stephen Deutsch
body: There's a couple of apps you can use to filter tables:

<https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.stiltsoft.confluence.plugin.tablefilter.tablefilter/cloud/overview> - for Cloud and Server, paid

<https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.mute.confluence.plugins.xTables/server/overview> - for Server, free

As far as doing it against multiple pages, I'm not sure if that would be possible.

What are possible causes that, when trying to edit within Confluence, it returns timeout error?
Asked by Matthew Schandler:

We are able to access the site and navigate through the pages. When trying to edit and entry, the operation times out and am left with a blank page.

Thank you.


Answers:
author: RianS
body: The couple of items that come to mind are the following and under the assumption you are using the Confluence Server product:

The biggest one that I've come across is that the URL you are using to access the Confluence instance doesn't match the base URL setting. This can be as simple as the base URL setting using HTTPS and accessing the site using HTTP.

The newer versions of Confluence use a separate setup to handle the concurrent editing support called Synchrony. There might need to setup added to the server.xml file on the server if the Confluence instance is behind a proxy/load balancer. [Here is document outlining troubleshooting for Synchrony](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/troubleshooting-collaborative-editing-858772087.html).

comments: author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: You usually see other problems like broken default pages and macros when the base url is wrong.

The symptoms are however, exactly what you get from a non-functional Synchrony - everything works bar create and edit.

You can do a simple test here - go to Admin -\> Collaborative editing. Turn off collaborative editing, then try a create again. If it works, you know it's Synchrony failing. Follow Rian's pointer for that!

Customer accounts seeing eachothers contact info, can I hide it?
Asked by Markus H??l:

Hi,  

So we are using CONFLUENCE as an internal tool and for project management with our customers. We are using the Cloud version of it.  

Our Customers get access to their personal project space.   
They can see only info from their Space.  

The only problem is that when logging in they can click on "People Directory" and see all user's contact information.

How can I hide this? So they woudn't see any contact info or any recent activity by other customers.

Confluence 6.4.2 - Tables - cannot use Tab key to move to next cell?
Asked by Dia:

Cannot use the 'tab' key to move to the next cell. One must click into it.

If you are unaware of this, press Tab, and start typing, it looks like nothing happens.

Click Update. Go back into the page.

The cell where the cursor last was prior to the 'tab' action is all mucked up (contains what you thought you typed after the 'tab' action, but it didn't show).

Is this a bug, or annoying function?


Answers:
author: Andrew Cohen
body: Anyone? This is pretty annoying and seems like there should be a workaround, but I can't find it - the tab key always indents, doesn't move to the next cell as expected.

I'm testing this in the latest Confluence, but I am able to move between cells using tab.

Can you confirm if you're also using Confluence 6.4.2 or are you using a more recent release? What browser are you testing this in?

How do I insert a carriage return into the body of an email created via a link in wiki markup?
Asked by Charlie:

Hi all,

I am trying to include several lines of text in the body of an email which is autocreated via a link in one of our wiki pages (using wiki markup).

I have tried all sorts of combinations of wiki markup, html, ascii and other codes to try to insert line breaks in the body text but to no avail. The link is included in a lozenge and the markup is along the lines of:

{lozenge:color=green}\*\[Send an email\|mailto:firstname.lastname@domain.com;firstname.lastname@domain.com?cc=firstname.lastname@domain.com\&subject=Request for information\&body=Dear Team, Please record the following inbound request and tag it as 'New'. Name of firm: Name of person: Name of person submitting request: Country: \]\*  
Please attach the relevant email correspondence{lozenge}\\\\

The line breaks/carriage returns need to be after each piece of punctuation i.e. after the comma, full stop/period and colons.

Any assistance will be very gratefully received.

Thank you,

Charlie


Answers:
author: John Fergus
body: You just need to URL encode the carriage return/newline characters using %0D%0A. For example ...

How to delete a Confluence account without affecting the corresponding Jira account
Asked by Rogier The:

We have registered one user for both Jira and Confluence. Now we would like to remove her for Confluence but not loose her work in Jira. How to get this done? Removing her, inactivated her Jira account last time.


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hi Rogier,  

I would recommend not removing the user, but removing her access from Confluence.

To do this on server, you can simply remove her from the groups which have been given Can Use access in Confluence:

* [Adding or Removing Users in Groups](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/adding-or-removing-users-in-groups-138321.html)

This will ensure she no longer can access Confluence, and that she will still be able to access Jira.

If you're using the Cloud version, you can do this by going to User Management \> Application Access and remove her Confluence access there.

I hope this helps!

Kind regards,

Shannon
