Can you set your confluence notifications to go to hipchat?
Asked by Michela Baca:

Is there a way to set your notifications that you would normally get via email to go to your hip chat account either additionally or instead of?


Answers:
author: Michela Baca
body: Thanks for the feedback, I had read that article, however I was wondering if I am a watcher on a space or page and an update occurred, that I would be able to get that notification in a HipChat notification to me (Confluence send chat notification to me). Email starts to get out of hand and a chat bot would be nice as an alternative.

I don't know if it makes sense for us to create a room for every space we have in Confluence. We will play around with it and see...

comments: author: Shannon S
body: Michela,

At this time, only room notifications are possible.

I found a feature request which requests for notifications to go to specific users. I believe this is what you want to accomplish.

* [HCPUB-3151](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/HCPUB-3151)

Could you please vote on that to help show how many users are interested? It hasn't had a lot of interest, so any comments and votes will help.

Regards,  
Shannon


author: Michela Baca
body: Thanks Shannon! I put in my vote for this feature! Thanks for the feedback!

Michela


author: Shannon S
body: Hi Michela,

There's a built-in integration you can use between Hipchat and Confluence. You can read more about it here:

* [Use Hipchat and Confluence Together](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/use-hipchat-and-confluence-together-678561679.html)

The [entry on Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.atlassian.labs.hipchat.confluence-hipchat/server/overview) says that certain actions will be posted, such as page edits, etc.

I would recommend giving that a try and if there's any notification that doesn't appear to be available or working properly, please let us know and we can look into it for you.

If so, it will also help us to know your Confluence and Hipchat versions,

Regards,

Shannon

End of life/Support for Confluence 6.2.3 Version
Asked by Naveen:

What is the End of life/Support for Confluence 6.2.3 Version also what is the latest stable version available and what is the End of life/Support for it?


Answers:
author: AnnWorley
body: Hi Naveen,

The EOL date for Confluence 6.2.x is May 15, 2019. Please see: [Atlassian Support End of Life Policy](https://confluence.atlassian.com/support/atlassian-support-end-of-life-policy-201851003.html) for more details.

The latest version is Confluence 6.6.1, a bug fix release so it should be stable. It will be EOL Dec 12, 2019. Here are the bug fix notes: [Issues resolved in 6.6.1](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/issues-resolved-in-6-6-1-942860356.html)

Please be aware Atlassian doesn't do "stable" versions. They do it the right way - they simply release, not bugger around with pointlessly noisy arbitrary releases. (And, yes, they do early access stuff, but you have to volunteer for that)

Confluence UPM Pages Won't Stop Refreshing
Asked by Richard Schaeffer:

I'm working with a fresh install of Confluence 6.6.1 on an EC2 Large instance and installed the SQL Pro plugin.

The issue I'm having is whenever I click anything on the UPM page (plugin dropdown, search for new plugins, etc) the page immediately starts refreshing in the browser, both in Chrome and Edge. Short of prodigal hand-eye coordination and timing, it's impossible for me to manage any plugins. As far as I can tell, it only affects the UPM on the admin page.

There aren't any errors in the log and the browser console doesn't seem particularly helpful.

Does this ring any bells? What should I provide to bring more information on this issue to the table?

Thank you.

author: AnnWorley
body: It's a known issue that just came up in the last couple of hours so we don't have a public facing bug report yet.

While this behavior prevents using the "Find new add-ons" functionality, a workaround exists in that you can still search for plug ins by going to the [Atlassian Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/) directly and download plugins from there. You may install the plugins using the Upload button on the Manage add-ons page.

Task Report Macro - showing multiple lines?
Asked by boardtc:

The Task Report Macro just shows the text on the same line as the checkbox, which is very useful.

Often as well as checking a task as done there is a comment added.

The only way I have found to have any additional text included in the task report is to continue writing text on the line (auto-wrapping), if you do a line break the text will not show. The result is typically a poorly formatted comment.

Is there any way to hack showing multiple lines of text for the same task?


Answers:
author: AnnWorley
body: Hi Tom,

I tested on Confluence 6.6.1 and the Task Report macro is showing comments made after carriage returns in the task list:

![Screen Shot 2018-01-10 at 12.45.34 PM.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/12343iCE64DD264BF76A3B/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screen Shot 2018-01-10 at 12.45.34 PM.png")Please let me know your version of Confluence - it is possible that this was recently fixed although I did not find a bug report for this specific issue.

I could be misunderstanding your use case, just let me know where I am going astray, if so.

Cheers,

Ann

comments: author: boardtc
body: That helped my troubleshooting!

My issue turned out to be that after my CR for comments I was including bullet points (not checklist items) and that stops the text being included!

A workaround is to use a -- for the bullet :-) **But**all comments must be indented on the same tab as the tasklist item. Note, bullets can be copied and pasted in the task list item.

![outstanding actions.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/12504i57410F0794B766E2/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "outstanding actions.png")


author: boardtc
body: Any issue I have found, is that you have to be *very careful* retro editing pages as described above. If the checkbox changes to a bullet and then you revert to a task list and then recheck the box the*Completed Date* gets updated.

If you restore the page I have found that the actual restoration does not revert the *Completed Date.*I believe this is a bug.

Confluence Page - Jira filter columns
Asked by Modha K Khammammettu:

Hello

I have a filter in Jira and I have some columns configured wo be shown when I run the filter.

How do I maintain the same columns that I have in Jira when I put the filter in confluence page. In confluence it shows default columns when the page is shown.

Thanks

Kumar


Answers:
author: AnnWorley
body: Hi Kumar,

If I understand correctly, you would like to designate which columns from Jira are displayed in a Jira Issues table in Confluence. On my test instance I clicked on **Display Options** and there was a **Columns to display** field:

![Screen Shot 2018-01-09 at 11.49.50 AM.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/12242i3BEBF02FEC30619E/image-dimensions/642x451?v=v2 "Screen Shot 2018-01-09 at 11.49.50 AM.png")

Please let me know if this works for you.

Thanks,

comments: author: Modha K Khammammettu

New Project Template in Confluence
Asked by Nate Burger:

Hi everyone,

I am new to Confluence and am looking for a way to create a template to be able to copy any time we have a new project in that category, without any plug ins. (Budget is a factor)

For example my team is in charge of setting up new business. For each one we have a list of tasks that we must do for each one. Currently, we are creating new tasks for each start up, that we organize in epics.

So, I am looking for a way to be able to copy a template over to Jira software and assign an epic to it each time.

Thanks!


Answers:
author: AnnWorley
body: Hey Nate,

I am following you as far as wanting to create a page template for every project, that has the predefined tasks. You definitely can: [Create a Template](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/create-a-template-296093779.html)

I am not sure what you mean by copying the template to Jira Software and assigning an epic to it - you can link JIra issues and Jira gadgets on the page but the page will not be in Jira Software, it will always reside in Confluence.

Cheers,

Ann

comments: author: Nate Burger
body: I want one document that I can copy to mass create user stories for each requirement.


author: AnnWorley
body: You can create multiple stories in Jira by highlighting the requirements in Confluence and those Jira issues will be added back to the Confluence page. You may use the bundled page blueprints or create a custom template.

We've recently seen Atlassian applications do this when the Linux distributions have stopped providing the fonts they ask for. Have a rummage through the logs for the word "font" and see if there are warnings about missing ones, or using alternates. Those errors should tell you what fonts might be missing.

Disable jira issue notifications in confluence
Asked by cweiske:

Confluence shows me notifications about jira issues (in the top right notifications menu). Since I already get them via e-mail, I don't need them in confluence.

How can I disable notifications for jira issues in confluence?


Answers:
author: Tarun Sapra
body: Please see here form the docs

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONF55/Configuring+Workbox+Notifications>

++***Including notifications from JIRA***++   
Confluence workbox can include notifications from your JIRA issue tracker. In Confluence OnDemand, you can do this if you have JIRA OnDemand too.

To include notifications from JIRA:

JIRA and Confluence must be connected via an application link to do this. See Linking to Another Application.

Choose the cog icon , then choose General Configuration under Confluence Administration.  
Choose In-app Notifications in the left-hand panel of the Confluence administration console.  
Choose displays in-app notifications from other servers.  
Your JIRA server will appear in the list of linked applications below this option.  
People will see JIRA notifications in their workbox, as described in Managing Notifications in Confluence.

How can I automatically update a Confluence page via a script... rest api not working

body: Hi - Please let me know more about your goal. What update are you making via script and what error are you seeing? What scripting tool are you using? Please also let me know what REST endpoint you are trying to use and finally, what version of Confluence you are using.

You can create a page template based on [Create your own template](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/blueprints-and-user-created-templates-724764985.html#BlueprintsandUserCreatedTemplates-Createyourowntemplatetemplate_types) and base future pages on it.

May I remove "Use Confluence" permissions from the default "confluence-users" list?
Asked by Sebastien Etorre:

Hi,

we are going to have both Employees and third party Clients having access to Spaces in our Confluence.

We want to be 100% certain a Client may not mistakenly access to Employee only Spaces. i.e. Each user should be explicitly flagged as "Employee" or "External", and the default "confluence-users" list should have no permissions whatsoever.

When I go to "Edit Global Permissions", most checkboxes are greyed out, including the "Use Confluence" one. I am an Admin though.

Thanks for your help !

Sebastien


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: You can remove it, but you must replace it with groups covering everyone who needs to be able to log in (i.e Employee and External)

As a system admin, you should be able to do this. You will need to add the replacement groups to the permission before removing the confluence-users from it.

comments: author: Sebastien Etorre
body: Hi Nic,

thanks for the lightning fast response !

The thing is, my Edit Global Permissions seems to be a pretty "closed" screen. I can't add lists at the Global level, can only change some of the permissions... but I am in edit mode, so I do have the full permission required? I'm indeed part of the "site-admins" group.

I'm missing a point here... :-(

Thanks for your help,

Sebastien

author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Ah, "site admin" implies Cloud, where you don't have the right to change some global permissions.

I don't think you can change this on Cloud, so the closest you can get is to remove "confluence user" from all space permissions and use your other groups separately


author: Sebastien Etorre
body: Many thanks Nic, just saved me hours of fighting the platform. Not the first time I get caught in Cloud vs Server discrepancies. Sometimes documentation is ambiguous (and sometimes I'm just lousy at this).

I'll (painfully) manage at the Space level.

Have a nice day.

I know this was posted over a year ago but I have encountered the same error/bug since recently upgrading to Confluence 6.15.1. I have found a small work around that seems to work decently. In Confluence you have access to a global stylesheet. Using CSS I was able to target the cursor for images (and some other elements) which force the page to show the pointer instead of reverting to the Move Cursor. Hope this helps!

.wiki-content img.confluence-embedded-image, .wiki-content img.editor-inline-macro, .wiki-content table.wysiwyg-macro{
cursor: pointer !important;
}
