simple create a plugin, and inside 'atlassian-plugin.xml', do this

```
&lt;web-resource key="header-theme-resources" name="header-theme Web Resources"&gt;        &lt;dependency&gt;com.atlassian.auiplugin:ajs&lt;/dependency&gt;		&lt;dependency&gt;confluence.web.resources:ajs&lt;/dependency&gt;		&lt;dependency&gt;confluence.web.resources:jquery&lt;/dependency&gt;        &lt;resource type="download" name="js.js" location="/templates/js.js"/&gt;		        &lt;context&gt;atl.general&lt;/context&gt;		&lt;context&gt;atl.admin&lt;/context&gt;        &lt;context&gt;atl.userprofile&lt;/context&gt;        &lt;context&gt;atl.popup&lt;/context&gt;        &lt;context&gt;main&lt;/context&gt;        &lt;context&gt;admin&lt;/context&gt;        &lt;context&gt;dashboard&lt;/context&gt;        &lt;context&gt;editor&lt;/context&gt;        &lt;context&gt;editor-content&lt;/context&gt;        &lt;context&gt;macro-browser&lt;/context&gt;        &lt;context&gt;page&lt;/context&gt;        &lt;context&gt;blogpost&lt;/context&gt;        &lt;context&gt;space&lt;/context&gt;    &lt;/web-resource&gt;
```

and for js use this:

```
AJS.$(document).ready(function() {    AJS.$('#logo').remove();});
```

Natively in the Confluence user interface is not possible to completely remove the logo, just change it as you mentioned. So in this case I would suggest you to make a contact with an Atlassian Expert to perform this kind of customization, you can find one Atlassian Expert in the following link:

Hope this helps.

Link test in the same page is not working
Asked by Navin Agarwal:

Link text in the same page is not working after changes has been made in Confluence UI last week.

Now i am not able to link any text in the same page,please let me know how can i link text in the same page in confluence.

Thanks,

Navin Agarwal


Answers:
author: Rodrigo Girardi Adami
body: Hi Navin,

That's a bit difficult to investigate what is going on without some logs from the application. If this started after the upgrade, I'm suspecting that something went out wrong with the upgrade itself.

Nevertheless, I advise to roll back and restore the last version of Confluence meanwhile and open a ticket with Atlassian support to investigate that.

Rodrigo
What is the best format video for a confluence video?
Asked by ticoulat:

I want to know the best format video like: mp4, avi, flv, mpeg,..... for see a video in confluence when I insert a video on a template. The thing is that I have a upload video and the extension is mp4..but when I preview the video is open with quick time player and it doesn't show very well....so I want to know if there are some kind of video extension better than other for see better in a template.

author: Kavita Parab
body: Hi,

I am using confluence 4.1 and we have lots of videos added. But I am still to find a standard option to make videos work for all users. It works differently for each user for all browsers. After raising a ticket standard answer received is its dependent on browser setting. Even though two users have same setting it will work differently.

Regards,

Kavita


author: Rodrigo Girardi Adami
body: Hi Martin,

AFAIK there is not a preferred video format type. I couldn't find any bug related to performance of those video types in Atlassian website.

Do you have this problem only with MP4 types? if so, it could be a bug or the converter options could not be optimized. Either way, I think it should be good to open a support ticket to investigate that.

Rodrigo

OnDemand Evaluation: Can't add JIRA on top of an existing Confluence evaluation?

How can I see other users the poll that I have created?
Asked by ticoulat:

I have created an example poll and I want that other users can see my poll. There is a button o something else for share it?


Answers:
author: GuilhermeA
body: Hello Martin,

I believe as this is a Macro that you have used inside a Page of Confluence, if you have configured a [Mail Server](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Configuring+a+Server+for+Outgoing+Mail) you should have a "Share" feature.

Then you could share it with your Colleagues, [Sharing Content](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Sharing+Content)

Hope this helps you,

Cheers,

Guilherme

comments: author: Ramiro Pointis
body: Hi Martin, remember to check the user pemissions. Because you may be able to share it but that doesn't mean the user will be able to see it.


author: Remo Siegwart
body: I assume you are talking about my [Polls plugin](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.simplenia.confluence.plugins.polls)?

There are basically two options to share a poll with other users:

If you have configured a Mail Server in your Confluence, there is a **Share button** on the top of the page:

![Share a poll](https://dq1dnt4af4eyy.cloudfront.net/files/com.simplenia.confluence.plugins.polls/screenshots/260f5aa1-ae1c-4332-85c9-d067fd32c36c.png)

There is a **Polls macro**, that lets you embed your poll on wiki pages or blog posts:

How to arrange ZEN sections to this style on confluence page?
Asked by lily56:

I want to arrange style on one page like this screenshot, but it seems either one column? either multiple colummns ?can not like this screenshot? why?

![](../../upfiles/1_26.png)


Answers:
author: Darryl Duke
body: Hi Jennifer,

Thanks for the kind words and great review on <https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.zenfoundation/reviews>

We really appreciate it!


author: Darryl Duke
body: Hi Jennifer,

1. The full width toggles will mess with this kind of carefully designed layout. To prevent the full width option for viewers, go into the Page Designer (under the toolbar's gear menu) and enter in a width for the canvas size (the default is 1120).

2. Just the full width settings (personal under the user menu in the toolbar) and the full width toggle (the arrows on the toolbar).

3. Often you have to tweak width and margin/padding settings of complex section layout to work with both IE and real browsers. If you're having trouble with this, please send screenshots and more details to [support@stepstonetech.com](mailto:support@stepstonetech.com) and we'd be happy to help sort it out.


author: J
body: Hi,

I am also having issues with the layout. I am trying to achieve more columns than just two as below:

![](../../upfiles/Snap46_1.png)

However, I am coming across the following issues:

1. When the toggle width option is used, the sections no longer align properly as the sections have been set to float left and right - there is a gap in between. Is there a way to avoid this?
2. Is there an option that you can select to make the screen span across based on the user's screen resolution?
3. There seems to be a problem with Internet Explorer. The sections and elements are overlapping and do not display properly. I am not if this is because of the resizing I have been doing.

Hope you guys can help with these.

Thanks


author: Darryl Duke
body: Good question. Zen's column layout is "full height" so you can't use drag-and-drop to position sections that way. However, it's pretty easy to do what you show here.

You'll have a one-column layout, with 1 \& 4 being standard Zen sections. For 2 \& 3, use the Section Designer to set their widths to smaller amounts, and float: left for section 2, and float: right for section 3. (Keep reducing the width values if they still stack vertically--they won't sit side-by-side if they're too wide, which includes padding and margins.)

Bulk Change of Links in Confluence
Asked by Glenn Mason:

We are heavy users of Confluence and Jira.

In Confluence we have links to many Jira issues and with our recent move from Hosted Jira to OnDemand Jira all those Jira issues links in Confluence are now broken.

The urls have changed from <https://blah.onjira.com/> to <https://blah.atlassian.net/> so should be reasonably easy to do a replace if such a facility or process exists.

Our Confluence version is 4.1.

Any help is muchly appreciated.


Answers:
author: RianA
body: Hi Glenn,

If the name of your JIRA instance is still similar, you could just reestablish the application link to your JIRA. However it seems that you're using OnDemand version, which is unable to establish application link to outside instance due to its [restricted function](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/AOD/Restricted+Functions+in+Atlassian+OnDemand).

Perhaps you could use the following SQL. Please bear in mind this would work with MySQL and **backup** your database for safety purpose.

```
UPDATE BODYCONTENT 	SET BODY = replace(BODY,'https://blah.onjira.com/','https://blah.atlassian.net/') 	WHERE BODY LIKE '%https://blah.onjira.com%';
```

Error: Details can only be used on pages or blog posts
Asked by Huseyin Firincioglulari:

Hello - I am trying to create a page template with several fields on it (e.g. field A, field B, field C), and would like to then list each page created via the template in a tabular format. So if I have 10 pages, I would have a column for A, B and C. When I try to do this using Page Properties macro so that I can later user Page Properties Report macro, upon previewing my page, I get "Details can only be used on pages or blog posts" in the place where I placed the Page Properties macro in my template. Any idea why this is happening and how to solve it?


Answers:
author: Kai Sun
body: i got the same issue! anyone can tell me how to fix this? if it's a bug, when it can be solved?


author: Markus Lepper
body: This error is already reported: <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-28573>


author: Joe Clark
body: Hi,

This typically happens because of a coding error in the macro. If the developer writes code that specifically checks for the presence of the parent page or blog post, the macro may then no longer work on a page template (since this is technically a different entity).

What version of Confluence are you using? This probably needs to be reported as a bug.
Imagemap from Visio?
Asked by Johan Ferner:

Hi,

My organization uses Visio. A couple of my users want to generate clickable images (imagemaps) from Visio to navigate in the wiki. Has anyone done something similiar.

I'd like to avoid the Visio plugin if possible. Is the backup svg generation in the Visio plugin usable with visio diagrams with links btw?

Thanks,

Johan


Answers:
author: shanz
body: I've just achieved this by saving the visio diagram as a web page based upon svg (publish - advanced). That creates a \<filename\>_svg_1.svg file which I attach to confluence and then embed into the same confluence page using the iframe macro. Job done.

body: You also need to tick the Details (shape data) tick box to get the hyperlinked imagemap functionality created in visio.

Menu Tab's Still Partially Visible Despite Being Restricted
Asked by Peter Whitfield:

Hi,

I've successfully managed to restrict menu's depending on user/group permissions, however - despite the menu headers (words) now being invisible to certain groups, the tabs that they sit in *are* still partially visible (at the top). I've attached an image so you can see what i mean. Any advice on how to get rid of the top-of-the-tabs would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance, Pete

![](../../upfiles/Tab_Issue.bmp)


Answers:
author: Darryl Duke
body: Hi Peter,

How are you restricting permissions on those menu items? Also, could you confirm which version of Zen you're using?

Zen will prune any empty menu items left behind using our Restrict macro. However, we've seen cases where extra white space creeps in via the editor (such as \<p\> tags wrapping the macro). We recommend installing the [Confluence Source Editor](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.atlassian.confluence.plugins.editor.confluence-source-editor) plugin (and restricting its use to Confluence Admins) for use in pruning out this kind of troublesome space.

comments: author: Peter Whitfield
body: Hi Darryl,

Thanks for your advice. I'll try the Confluence Source editor and see if this sorts it out.

Many thanks
