Team Calendar showing additional Color/Bar on Right of Event
Asked by Brian Taylor:

Recently we have notice that there is an additional Color/Bar on right of events in Team Calendars that is confusing some users as to the type of event being entered.

body: Hello there Brian!

As I understand, there is now a small colored overlay on the events. Is that correct?

I tried to replicate this behaviour but was ultimately unable to. I inserted every type of event my calendar had but none of them showed this overlay:

With this in mind, could you clarify a few points for us? Here they are:
> 1. Is this visible in **all types of events**?
> 2. Was Team Calendars **updated prior to this issue?**
> 3. Is this color overlay **present in any browser**?
> 4. Is this present for **all users**?
> 5. Have **already existing events** been affected?
> 6. Is this present in **all newly created** events?
> 7. Is this present in **all events created by any** **user**?

Looking forward to your reply Brian!

Team Calendars Filtering
Asked by Kevin Paulus:

The Team Calendars used to allow adding Filters of Issues to display on the Team Calendars.

Has that feature been removed.


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello there!

Kevin, I believe you are referencing the possibility of adding events of the type **Jira Issue dates**, is that correct?

If this is the case, I can tell you that those types of events have not been removed from Team Calendars. You can take a look at our documentation about them here:
> **[Team Calendars - Add Jira Events](https://confluence.atlassian.com/teamcal/add-jira-events-241566244.html)**

I would also like to understand what kind of difficulties, if any, you are currently facing. Is there some kind of error on screen when you try to add these types of events?

Let us know from you Kevin!


author: Shannon S
body: Hello Kevin,

Happy to help you with this! Let's find out where that feature went.

Confluence Team Calendars enables you the ability to add events from Jira, with dates based on a Project, a Saved Filter, or JQL. You can read more about it on our documentation [Add Jira Events \> Add JIRA Issue Dates](https://confluence.atlassian.com/teamcal/add-jira-events-241566244.html#AddJiraEvents-AddJIRAissuedates).

Is this the feature you were referring to, or is there another that you are in need of? Maybe it will help if you can elaborate what sort of event you're trying to add, and where you are blocked?

Regards,

Shannon

Staging server starts, but ask for database connection parameters
Asked by Ramiro Borgonovo:

Hi, We are planning an upgrade. As recommended here:

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/create-a-staging-environment-for-upgrading-confluence-866094180.html>

We performed 2. Replicate your database

and

3. Replicate Confluence

copyyng the database to a develpment enviroment, and the confluence directories to a new server.

We start atlassian confluence service, and acces de localhost url, but we get the screen bellow:

![confluence.PNG](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/53619i349A8F3D4980842F/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "confluence.PNG")

it looks like the configuration assistent after a succesfull fresh instalation. The issue onwards is that is is going to overwrite the copied database. It warns

Confluence tables already exist in the selected database

And give the options: continue and overwrite existing data, or Restart database setup.

Any ideas?


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hi Ramiro,

Thank you for reaching out! Happy to help.

The fact that Confluence doesn't see the existing database settings in confluence.cfg.xml leads me to believe that something didn't get copied over entirely or updated.

1. Both the Confluence Installation Directory and the entire Home Directory need to be copied over to the staging server. You can have a look at [Confluence Home and Other Important Directories](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-home-and-other-important-directories-590259707.html) for how to find the exact location of these in case you are not sure. If you were to leave out the Home Directory for example, you would have this issue.
2. Following that, under Replicate Confluence, you need to make sure to update the Configuration files to point to the new database. I recommend that you check the new \<home-directory\>/confluence.cfg.xml file and ensure that it is pointing to your new database. You may need to stop Confluence if you need to make an adjustment to this setting.

I would encourage you to try the procedure again in case you still have any issues, because the existence of data from the prior instance in the Home Directory should not have it try to go through setup again.

Let me know if you have any trouble or questions about this!

Regards,

Shannon

comments: author: Ramiro Borgonovo
body: Hello Shanon.

You are right. The person who copied the productive file system, for de application data\\confluence, named the folder appData\\confluence.zip

That led me to made a mistake when recreating the staging server file system for confluence application, and so confluence wasn't finding the database configuration file.

Once the wrong folder got renamed, all started working fine.

Ramiro

Confluence 6.14.x vs 6.15x
Asked by Dale Westrate:

Greetings-

I'm looking to upgrade our Confluence from 6.7.1 to a new version, but it seems there's multiple streams of Confluence out there. I say this because 6.15.1 released 13 March, but there's been several resales of 'lower' versions (6.6.x and 6.12.x - 6.14.x) released since then.

How stable and bug-free is the latest version (6.15.2)? Would I be better off with an older version, since I'm currently on an old version (6.7.1)?


Answers:
author: Cyrille Martin
body: Hi Dale,

The answer can be multiple. It will depend on the frequency of Confluence update you intend to do during the coming year.

Due to the fact you are in version 6.7.1, you are not upgrading your version each year. The version 6.7.1 has been released in Feb 2018.

That's why the best for you in term of maintenance should be an [Enterprise](https://confluence.atlassian.com/enterprise/atlassian-enterprise-releases-948227420.html) version. In your case the [6.13.x](https://fr.atlassian.com/software/confluence/download-archives).

The Entreprise version is a major version for which Atlassian will deliver bug fixing and security patches for 2 years, starting on the day of the delivery of the X.Y.0. The feature and look and feel will remain the same and the add-ons compatibility maintain. This will facilitate any Security Patch upgrade to perform.

I hope it helps.

Regards,

Cyrille

Can public confluence pages display JIRA status
Asked by Johnson Ngocorai:

I am investigating whether we can be able to display the status of our JIRA tickets in our public confluence pages. Please provide any steps and/or links to resources on this.

Answers:

body: Hi [@Johnson Ngocorai](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2747525)

Yes! Use Jira issues macro to insert the required Jira issues into your Confluence page. This macro has a status column which helps the users know of the status of the issues. Here is a [link](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/jira-issues-macro-139380.html) to how to.

The security level of the issues you want to include must be public (or whatever your company has customized it to).

Hope this helps!

Thanks

Sireesha

comments: author: Johnson Ngocorai
body: Thanks for your response [@Sireesha Dugginapeddi \[Appfire\]](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1260000) Our Jira issues have restricted access. Is there a viable way to still be able to display them publicly via confluence without reducing the security level?


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Yes, but it will respect permissions - the account doing the reporting needs to be able to see the Jira issues.

Cloud API Create Page 403
Asked by Tim Gilmore:

I'm getting a 403 response when trying to create a page with the confluence cloud api. This was previously working, but suddenly I am getting the following response:

```
{
"statusCode": 403,
"data": {
"authorized": false,
"valid": true,
"errors": [],
"successful": false
},
"message": "Could not create content with type page"
}
```

I am making a POST request to [https://\<mydomain\>.atlassian.net/wiki/rest/api/content/](https://pdhidev.atlassian.net/wiki/rest/api/content/) using basic auth for a user that is able to create pages in this space through the UI (I've verified logging in with that username/pass, and am able to create a page in the space). Here is the body of my request:

```
{
 "ancestors": [
   {
     "id": "602648"
   }
 ],
 "title": "Test",
 "space": {
   "key": "TOC"
 },
 "type": "page",
 "body": {
   "storage": {
     "representation": "storage",
     "value": "Test"
   }
 }
}
```

The ancestor ID is correct, as well as the space key. Is there something else I'm doing wrong?


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Tim,

Thank you for reaching out! Happy to help.

Could you tell me how long ago this worked for you? We deprecated basic authentication as well as cookie-based [in favor of API tokens](https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/api-tokens-938839638.html?_ga=2.9132919.393789523.1557076734-1483961444.1556008674), but it has been over a year since we made this change.

I would recommend that you generate the API token per the article above, and update your request to use it, and tell me if you continue to have the issue.

For information on how to replace it:
>
> Use an API token {#toc-hId--1438415464}
> ---------------------------------------
>
> A primary use case for API tokens is to allow scripts to access REST APIs for Atlassian Cloud applications using HTTP basic authentication.
>
> Depending on the details of the HTTP library you use, simply replace your password with the token. For example, when using [curl](https://curl.haxx.se/), you could do something like this:  
>
>     curl -v https://mysite.atlassian.net --user me@example.com:my-api-token
>
> Note that `me@example.com` here is the email address for the Atlassian account you're using to create the token.

I hope that helps! Do let me know if you have any trouble.

Regards,

Shannon

comments: author: Tim Gilmore
body: Shannon,

Thank you very much for the help. This was working for us just a few weeks ago, but switching to an API token solved it.

Thanks again,

Tim


author: Shannon S
body: Hi Tim,

Thank you for confirming. I was able to confirm now that the decision was made and the announcement was sent out over a year ago, but we didn't start removing it until a few weeks ago, in the 2nd week of April. That would explain why it didn't break for you until now. Terribly sorry for the confusion!

Glad to hear that you were able to resolve it by switching to the token.

Let me know if you run into any other issues or have any questions!

Regards,

Shannon

I cannot install the workaround for CVE-2019-3398
Asked by Nicolas MENARD:

I try to install the workaround for CVE-2019-3398 (<https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-security-advisory-2019-04-17-968660855.html>)

From now on, the server.xml file contain this line : \<Context path="" docBase="../confluence" debug="0" reloadable="false" useHttpOnly="true"\>

The workaround (see above) contain "\<Context path="/pages/downloadallattachments.action" docBase="" \>"

If I use the line '\<Context path="/pages/downloadallattachments.action" docBase="" \>' to replace the actual line : it doesn't work.

Can you tell me how to adapt the workaround line considering (or not) the actual line ?

best regards,


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Nicolas,

Thank you for reaching out regarding this!

I've had a look at the workaround you mention, but I see that it doesn't mention to replace any lines, but to add it to the \<Host\> element.

You should already have some existing Context paths there, but don't modify those, just add the new lines inside of the \<Host\> element.

So mine looks like this:

![Screenshot 2019-05-08 at 14.00.43.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/53858i4C55BA1C495CFD66/image-dimensions/716x263?v=v2 "Screenshot 2019-05-08 at 14.00.43.png")

Of course, if you are using a context path, you need to adjust it to your own, but the goal is to have it as another item in the \<Host\> element.

Can you give that a try and let me know how it goes?

Regards,

Shannon

Remove the Atlassian logo and links in footer?
Asked by Carolyn Groessl:

Hello!

I followed directions in the KB article: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-reduce-the-confluence-footer-height-795936067.html>; the HTML minimized the height of the footer, but didn't remove the logo or links. Any suggestions for removing everything except the "Powered by Atlassian..."?


Answers:
author: Sireesha Dugginapeddi [Appfire]
body: Hi [@Carolyn Groessl](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3137817) ,

You can add #footer-logo { display: none; } in the customization provided in the article you mentioned.

Or try adding custom HTML at the end of your page with -

\<script\>  
jQuery('#\<*Logo div id* \>').hide();  
\</script\>

Look for logo div id and add it to jQuery above.

Please note that you cannot remove "Powered by Atlassian" according to your license agreement. I am assuming you know that already! :)

Hope one of them works for you!

Thanks

Sireesha

comments: author: Roger Lynn
body: This hiding of the logo with #footer-logo stopped working when we upgraded from Confluence 6.4.0 to 6.13.4. There is more Custom HTML required. Add the following before the final {/style}:

` #footer .footer-body {`

` background-image: none;`  

` }`


author: Carolyn Groessl
body: Thank you! The additional snippet of code worked to remove the Atlassian logo. :)


author: jtcorwi
body: This was exactly what I needed as well. We had 2 copies of the Atlassian logo at the bottom of the page, got rid of them both. If the license agreement requires you keep the Powered by Atlassian, there is no reason to have 2 more references to Atlassian.

My instance is on an intranet so the links (Atlassian Confluence/Report a bug/Atlassian News) don't work and serve no purpose. Not being able to easily reconfigure these makes it look like things are broken. The version is available from about and our admins know what the version is, so requiring that at the bottom of the page provides no value either.

Permanently Filtering the Space Attachments Macro
Asked by Marinda:

I am trying to view only the attachments in my space that have a specific label. The Space Attachments macro lets me view a list of all attachments in my space and filter by label. However, this label filter is not permanent; on default the page displays all attachments and then I have to type in the label manually and click "Filter." Then when I refresh the page it shows all the attachments again:

![all attachments.PNG](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/53598i6FC83074CF984CAD/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "all attachments.PNG")

Can I make the macro ++permanently++ filter by label so it only shows this at all times?

![only attachments with filter label.PNG](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/53599iFAA11A5D720F1558/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "only attachments with filter label.PNG")

Does anyone know if I could edit the code to include a permanent label filter?

![Space Attachments code.PNG](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/53597i9A9BC4F1B765E93D/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Space Attachments code.PNG")

Customized library on Draw.IO Confluence Cloud does not appear to all users. How to fix this?
Asked by Saruka Thangarajah:

I followed the instructions from here: <https://about.draw.io/draw-io-training-exercise-9-create-your-own-custom-library/>

I'm able to create a customized library of icons related to my organization. The library of icons appears anytime I create a new Draw.IO Diagram however it does not appear to any of the other users in my organization.

Is there a way to save the customized library on Confluence Cloud without being admin? In the link below, it says to create s space with the key DRAWIOCONFIG but as I'm not admin, I'm not able to create a space.

<https://desk.draw.io/support/solutions/articles/16000092763-how-to-use-libraries-in-confluence-cloud->

Is there any other way to ensure the library is available to all users without each person individually re-creating the same library?


Answers:

Difference between AWS lambda proxy and AWS lambda?

Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Soujanya,

Thank you for reaching out!

AWS is a product supported by Amazon, so my knowledge of AWS is quite lacking. I'm not too sure myself, but I found a few resources that might help you:

* [Lambda Proxy vs Lambda Integration in AWS API Gateway](https://medium.com/@lakshmanLD/lambda-proxy-vs-lambda-integration-in-aws-api-gateway-3a9397af0e6d)
* [Lambda Integration vs Lambda Proxy Pros and Cons](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42474264/lambda-integration-vs-lambda-proxy-pros-and-cons)

There are also a few FAQ on Lambda, that I would recommend you have a look at if you haven't already:

* [Amazon AWS Lambda FAQ](https://aws.amazon.com/lambda/faqs/)

Otherwise, you may just have better success contacting [Amazon AWS support](https://console.aws.amazon.com/support/home/?nc2=h_ql_cu) directly. Our Community is meant to support Atlassian product questions specifically, and so you may find it difficult to find an answer here regarding AWS Lambda.

I hope that helps or at least sends you in the right direction! Let us know if you have any further concerns.
