Cant get registration email to @ukr.net domain. May be someone had the same problem?
Asked by Dmitry Kulinich:

Trying to register an account with [@UKR](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2523120).net email domain, and can't get a registration email for finishing the registration process


Answers:
author: Boris MBOUMEHANG
body: Hello Dimitry,   

First of all, welcome to the Atlassian Community! :)  

When you talk about the registration of an account with ukr.net domain, do you mead adding a new user to your Atlassian site, whose email address is user@ukr.net?   
If so, do you get specific error message when sending the invite to that email address?   

In addition, when I try a MX Lookup on ukr.net domain, then a Blacklist Check, I notice that the IP address of the SMTP server used by this domain is blacklisted in one of the blacklist checked by MxToolbox. Maybe this explains why you do not receive any registration email.

body: Hello, Boris. No, I am not trying to invite someone, I am trying to go thru the invitation link and create an account connected to this email. I get this invitation link to my email inbox, but can't get the verification email. Maybe it related to this blacklist. Thank you for your answer!


author: Boris MBOUMEHANG
body: You are welcome Dmitry! :)  
Maybe you could wait to see if the blacklist is lifted. If not, just to be sure, you can contact [Atlassian Support](https://support.atlassian.com/contact/#/), so they could see if they get some errors their logs regarding the "verification email" process.   

Good luck! :)

Request for Access to restricted page only going to last editor
Asked by Scott Home:

Hi

We are using Confluence Cloud. The Request Access Plugin is enabled and the restricted page does not have inherited restrictions.

The request for access is only being sent to the last editor of the page. For this case I would rather it was being sent to up to 5 as described here

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/page-restrictions-139414.html>

Any suggestion or clarification please

Thanks

Scott


Answers:
author: Boris MBOUMEHANG
body: Hi Scott,   

First of all, welcome to the Atlassian Community! :)  

Are you sure the restricted page meets the following conditions, mentionned in the article you mentionned?
> When a user requests access to a restricted page, Confluence will send an email to up to 5 people who are most likely to be able to grant access, in the following order:
>
> 1. people who have contributed to the page in the past, can see the page and have 'Restrict' or 'Admin' space permission (sorted by last edit date)
> 2. space administrators who can see the page (sorted alphabetically).

[Page restrictions](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/page-restrictions-139414.html?_ga=2.180496864.630717111.1569242483-473515219.1560787536)

Thanks  
Boris

comments: author: Scott Home
body: Hi Boris

The restrictions are as follows:

Everyone has no access.

There is 1 author with view \& edit access

There are 5 users with view \& edit access

There have been 2 edits by users since creation

(There are 4 space administrators)

There are no inherited restrictions

Is that all you need?

Thanks

Scott


author: Boris MBOUMEHANG
body: Hi Scott,   

Thank you for your feedback.  

I apologize, but I just realized that the article you mentionned in your first message was talking about Confluence Server.   
For Confluence Cloud, it is the last editor who is notified to grand access to a restricted page, or the space admin if the las editor does not have permission to change page restrictions, as mentionned below:
> **Grant permission**
>
> If someone asks permission to view or edit a restricted page, **we'll email the last person who edited the page**, and ask them to grant that permission.
>
> If they don't have permission to change the page restrictions in that space, **we'll email a space admin** instead.

[Add or Remove Page Restrictions](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/add-or-remove-page-restrictions-724764891.html)  

So, in your case, this is normal.  

I hope this will help.  

Thanks!  
Boris

AWS CloudFront CDN Support
Asked by Monish Sharma:

Q1) Can you confirm that Atlassian now supports:

(a) Confluence Data Center support for AWS CloudFront CDN

(b) BitBucket Data Center support for AWS CloudFront CDN

Q2) Is the Confluence support for AWS CloudFront related to Custom Domains, or is it something else?

Q3) When will BitBucket support for AWS CloudFront be provided? I was under the impression that BitBucket historically requires static IP's which I thought AWS CloudFront does not support. What has changed on this?


Answers:

Is it possible to make page title itself a link ?
Asked by adityalochan:

Hi,

Is this possible?

author: adityalochan

Everything on "Page Tree" is already a link.

author: DPKJ

How do I set up internal forms
Asked by Jo Wood:

I would like to embed a simple travel and accommodation request form on our intranet so that staff can book travel through the intranet. Preferrably I would like to integrate it with our task management system (Asana) so that I can get a new task when a form is submitted.

I can't see how we do that from our admin panel. Is it a feature?

Thanks

Jo


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Jo,

Welcome to Atlassian Community! It's nice to have you.

Confluence doesn't have a feature that would allow users to fill out a form, but there are [many add-ons on Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?hosting=cloud&product=confluence&query=forms) that can help with that. Whether or not that would be possible to integrate with Asana would depend on the add-on itself.

Have a look through the add-ons and if you have any questions about a particular add-on you can let us know here, or contact the vendor directly via the add-ons **Support** tab.

What is the upgrade path for the search results macro?
Asked by Tom Kermode:

What is the upgrade path for the search results macro, given that it is being deprecated in version 7? I have several users which rely on this macro heavily - for example, to find various combinations of labels (or missing labels) to identify content which may require rewriting, review, etc.

Deprecating such basic functionality makes me question choosing or recommending this product....


Answers:
author: Jack Nolddor [Sweet Bananas]
body: Hi Tom Kermode,

It seems there is no alternative macro for now.

Migration related questions
Asked by Alex:

Hi guys, I am mulling over a couple of options for our fresh startup, and one of them is a Confluence + Jira suite. So a couple of naive questions in this regard:

1. Is it (even) possible to migrate from Conflunce (and Jira) if things do not go as well as I expected (e.g. Atlassian hikes its prices at some stage in the future) to an alternative suite in the market (say Feng Office).

2. Is it possible to migrate from something like Feng Office to Confluence?

Many thanks!


Answers:
author: Ste Wright
body: Hi [@Alex](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3575079)

Welcome to the Community :)

It depends what platforms you're migrating to/from - Confluence, like any platform, will have some unique tooling, so you'll need to consider how much replication you need versus new customisation.

Looking at import options for Confluence in [this page](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/import-content-into-confluence-191141.html) it does state:
>
> Importing content from another wiki {#toc-hId--1408153539}
> ----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Confluence does not provide a method for importing content from another wiki.
>
> You may be able to build your own import solution using our REST APIs, as mentioned below, or work with an [Atlassian Solution Partner](https://www.atlassian.com/partners) to develop a custom solution.

...but there are a set of alternatives on that page you can consider :)

Upgrading from 4.2 to something current
Asked by mbrown:

I am currently running Confluence 4.2 on a red hat 5 with mysql and i want to move to a newer box, os, etc and upgrade to a current version of confluence. Eventually move it to the cloud,

Can some one assist with suggestions and a path, i am also running windows and would not mind moving to windows.

Hi

if you plan to upgrade your box, have a look to

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/upgrading-confluence-4578.html>

you will need to do an intermediate step and upgrade to 5.10.x and then to a newer version.

While doing the upgrades you should also check for the compatibility of your database, java version etc. might make sense to upgrade these as well

Can Vimeo showcases be embedded in Confluence
Asked by Paige Tonra:

I am trying to embed a Vimeo showcase into a confluence article using the widget connector. Vimeo Showcases, essentially, are just videos grouped together in one link. The videos are not private \& I have granted vimeo access to embed the content on my jira site. However, when I enter the URL into the widget connector I get this error:

![Screen Shot 2019-09-27 at 1.10.35 PM.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/67641i646F782EE6887B93/image-dimensions/441x215?v=v2 "Screen Shot 2019-09-27 at 1.10.35 PM.png")

I am able to embed single videos into the widget connector from vimeo, just not showcases. Should I be able to embed showcases from Vimeo to jira?


Answers:
author: Hendrik Kampus
body: this was almost year ago, has there been any updates, is it possible now?

comments: author: Shannon S
body: Hi Hendrik,

Welcome to Atlassian Community, and thanks for bringing up the topic again!

Honestly Vimeo might know which methods work best, but it appears you could embed using an iFrame:

* [Vimeo - Working with oEmbed: Embed Showcases](https://developer.vimeo.com/api/oembed/showcases)

It's possible to [embed iFrames into Confluence](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-iframe-macro/), but whether or not the target website works depends on the host. In this case, that's Vimeo. Iwould recommend giving it a try using the Confluence iFrame macro. If you end up getting any specific error messages, we can have a look.

Take care,

Shannon


author: Shannon S
body: Hello Paige,

Thank you for contacting us about this. Happy to help.

I'm not sure Confluence supports Vimeo Showcases yet; were you ever able to embed a Showcase in Confluence that contains only public videos? Would you be able to try that just to confirm the feature works? If it does not, then I can raise a feature request to include embedding of Vimeo Showcases in Confluence.

For your final question:
> Should I be able to embed showcases from Vimeo to Jira?

Can you confirm if you're referring to Confluence here? I'm not as familiar with Jira so I can't say for sure if it's possible to embed Showcases in Jira.

Regards,

Shannon

What is the difference between a page and a blog in confluence?
Asked by Dharmesh Singh:

Yesterday, I was trying to use the Blog Post Macro and I realised that some posts in confluence are considered as **Pages** and some are considered as **Blogs**.

Also, I heard that Pages should be used when it could act as source of information for something for a long time while Blogs are for one time dissemination of information.

However, I still don't get the difference between these two. Moreover, why is there such a difference?


Answers:
author: JP _AC Bielefeld Leader_
body: Blogs are not shown inside the page hierarchy, but instead use a published date based sorting. Indeed, blogs should be used for content that is relevant for a certain time span: Announcements, outages, etc.

When our company introduced Confluence we (IT) totally underestimated the blog usage. The users started using it on their own \& blogging quickly became the main announcement channel in our company. There is one important point: A user can subscribe to be notified for every blog post by mail. But he will only receive a single mail on the blog post \& can then decide to watch the blog post. We also use an app/addon Lively Blog Posts \& added the macro to our intranet startpage. This allows for a label controlled publishing of blog posts on important pages (only certain users are allowed to set these labels). Also blog post are formatted \& displayed with images in a timeline based column.

There are several tools out now, which allow switch a page to a blog post \& vice versa (Script Runner, Lively Blogs, Space Admin...)

Our company would really miss the blogging function of Confluence.

Best

I have an xls that is updated from a filesystem.

Answers:
author: Aron Gombas _Midori_
body: I'm not sure if it is possible natively, but you could eventually implement an automation that takes the XLS file in the filesystem and adds that to the Confluence page as an attachment, and repeats it in every N minutes. That'd definitely work.

[ScriptRunner](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1215215/scriptrunner-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) should be able to do this.

Show new HTML in Confluence instead of existing Dashboard page.
Asked by Jaydeep Hirani:

My requirement is to show new HTML for home page in confluence instead of existing Dashboard page with some components of confluence like Create from Template.

Do I have to modify existing decorators (like main.vmd) or add new ones.

Request to please provide me guidelines on what all changes do I need to make considering I am new to Confluence.

Thanks in advance for helping me out.


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Jaydeep,

Thank you for contacting us. Happy to help.

I would say that if you want to include custom HTML within a single page of Confluence, you should use the [HTML Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/html-macro-38273085.html). This allows you to embed code into a single Confluence page.

If you want to customize the whole of Confluence with HTML or CSS, then have a look at [Customizing Site and Space Layouts](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/customizing-site-and-space-layouts-149374.html), and [Changing the Look and Feel of Confluence](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/changing-the-look-and-feel-of-confluence-147534.html).

Before making any changes like this, do make sure to create a backup of your Confluence instance, in case you need to revert any changes.

Regards,

Shannon
