Asked by Edison Ron:

Acabe de realizar una nueva conexi?n de dominio en confluence, solo cambio el dominio, se realiza la prueba de conexi?n y es exitosa, pero luego de guardar toda la configruaci?n con mi usuario admin, no me muestra la opci?n para sincronizar los usuarios, y no entiendo porque sucede esto y por tanto al no sicronizar no me muestran todos los usuarios para que se puedan conectar a la herramienta, por que no sincroniza.

page properties report - column width
Asked by Brandy Davis:

Is there a way to standardize the width of columns in the Page Properties Report macro? The column widths in my report are all different with some being extremely wide which makes viewing on screen painful.


Answers:
author: Davin Studer
body: I've created a user macro that you can wrap around tables (or things that output tables such as the page properties report macro) that allows you to specify the column widths. Here is the code for the user macro. I recently posted it on the question below.

[Is there a way to fix table widths within a table?](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Is-there-a-way-to-fix-table-widths-within-a-table/qaq-p/1162123)
Is it possible to include a page depending of the content a template variable?
Asked by Franz Steindl:

Hello,

I'd like to create a template where the user of the template picks a value from a list and gets a related page included.

I have tried a solution with template variables (List values) and the include page makro but with no success.

Any ideas?

Best regards, Franz


Answers:
author: Davin Studer
body: If you are on the server version of Confluence this could be done with a user macro. Basically, the template variable would be put into the body of the user macro and the user macro would dynamically render out a page include macro based on what was put in the body of the user macro. [@Bill Bailey](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/502089) has written an excellent article on creating a wrapper user macro (a user macro that outputs another macro and dynamically changes the properties of the output macro).

How to raise a request for create a space ?
Asked by Dhanya N:

I wanted to create a space in Confluence for my team. Need url for to perform the below step

To set up a new [global space](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Spaces), you require the 'Create Space' permission. 'Create Space' is one of the [global permissions](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Global+Permissions+Overview) that can be assigned by a [Confluence administrator](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONF40/Confluence+Glossary). See [Security](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Permissions+and+restrictions) or contact a Confluence administrator for more information.


Answers:
author: Davin Studer
body: Welcome to the Community Dhanya,

In order to create a space you need the permission point for that. If you do not have that ability you will need to contact your Confluence administrator to either be granted the permission or have the space created.
How can I freeze a parent folder so the hierarchy will not be changed
Asked by Kristina Radeva:

I would like to be able to stop people from moving the pages around. We have a structure which should be followed, so is there a way for parent pages not to be moved by everyone. I would like people to be able to fill them and to upload files in them, just not to change the hierarchy of the pages.


Answers:
author: Davin Studer
body: [@Kristina Radeva](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3342124) Unfortunately, if someone has edit permissions to a page then they also have the ability to move the page. There is no option for locking down the ability to move a page.

comments: author: Kristina Radeva
body: Thank you very much Davin.


author: Hasna
body: You can actually use RESTRICTION option in space and also MOVE permission and also the Move page permission can be be customized .<https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/page-restrictions-139414.html>

comments: author: Kristina Radeva

Unable to leave comments on images
Asked by Aryon Sunrise Hopkins:

I have used an older version of Confluence for a year (its an older non cloud version) at work and now I am trying out the cloud version for myself.

I just signed up and an am using the 7 week trial.

**Unfortunately I am unable to access the "comment on image" feature.**I have both PNG and JPGs embedded in the body of a page and I want to click on them to enlarge and add a comment.

It looks like this with only the magnifying glass. I have hovered over the image and searched for a setting or something different and still nothing.

![Screen Shot 2019-08-26 at 5.28.00 AM.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/64278iCAEB0E49134FEB8F/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screen Shot 2019-08-26 at 5.28.00 AM.png")

**How can I comment on this image by dragging the comment tool onto the image?**

Thank you!


Answers:
author: Davin Studer
body: Welcome to the Community Aryon.

Atlassian is in the process of changing the editor that Cloud uses. Currently, that feature is not enabled in the new editor. However, if you have the option to create your page using the old editor (there should be a template for this) you should be able to do it.

comments: author: Aryon Sunrise Hopkins
body: I do not have the option to create a page user the old editor.

There is no template for this.

All I have is a Blank Page template and 26 other templates labeled new.

Can you send a link where I can download and then import one of these templates that use the old editors?

Is there a way to access an older version of Confluence through the cloud (dumb question)? The commenting feature on images is one of the main reasons why I am using Confluence over Invision.

Thanks.


author: Davin Studer
body: It's not a template you can download. You might be able to have [Atlassian support](https://support.atlassian.com/) give you access to the old editor.


author: Brant Nesbitt
body: Following up on this, does Atlassian have an ETA of when this will be updated?

We are stuck between two areas:

1. Only the Old Blank Page Template has the old image editor which allows us to provide comments
2. However, we want to use the Requirements Blue Print so we can assign multiple Jira tickets but this uses the new editor with no ability to comment on an image

Is there anything that one would suggest or that is being overlooked?

Thanks!


author: Kyle Beach
body: Atlassian, can you provide an update on when this functionality will be available in the new editor? We'd really like the use the new editor, but the missing features are a show stopper.

It's actually a Jira Service Desk Portal. You can refer below documentation for configuring the customer portal: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/SERVICEDESKCLOUD/Configuring+the+customer+portal>

Restricting Child Page Creation for Parent Page
Asked by Nathan Hilton:

Hi!

I've created a template I want to force users to use when creating a new page under a parent page. Let's call the parent page "Forms." I want to make everyone use the template when creating a new "Forms" page. I've already created a button that will automatically load the template and place the new page under the "Forms" parent page. However, I'm not finding any way to restrict people from just creating a new page and then moving it under the "Forms" page. Does Confluence have the capability to lock down parent pages in this way?


Answers:
author: Davin Studer
body: Welcome to the Community Nathan,

Unfortunately, there is no way to lock down only being able to have child pages be from a specific template. You could audit it though. If you add a label to your template then all the pages created using that template will get the label. With that you could do a search like this to find all the pages under the parent page that do not have the label (hence not created by the template) and inform you users to use the correct method for creating the child pages.

```
http(s)://{your server}/dosearchsite.action?cql=ancestor="{parent page id}" and label!="{your template label}"
```

body: Hello there,

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

I apologize for the lack of response on your question, but it appears from your description that you are developing an add-on for Marketplace and you're having some trouble with that.

I recommend that you try raising the same question on our special [Atlassian Developer Community](https://community.developer.atlassian.com). Most of the users there are developers for add-ons of Atlassian products and are better equipped to answer this question. This is as opposed to this community, which is more for end-users.

I hope that helps, but do let me know if you have any trouble.

Meeting Notes Template on Confluence
Asked by Sarah.Garner@ot.govt.nz:

I use the meeting notes template frequently in Confluence. I have just created a new space and added in the meeting notes template and populated this. I have provided those that need access with the appropriate admin rights but for some reason, although they are able to edit the meeting notes themselves, they can not edit the Action points or if they try, it does odd things like typing into a completely different area on the page or it highlights the Action text box as if it is an object.

Anyone else had this issue?


Answers:
author: Kiran Panduga {Appfire}
body: Hi [Sarah.Garner@ot.govt.nz](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3536729) ,

A user with proper permissions should be able to edit the ++Action points++which are listed in the meetings notes page.

This requires ++Edit permission++ for editing the meeting notes page.

Can you check this odd behaviour in a different browser? Also, try cleaning the cookies, cache in the browser and verify.

Thanks,

Kiran.

Date picker does not accept date when typed in next-gen confluence page / fabric editor
Asked by Sai Pravesh:

Hi All,

Next gen confluence cloud page date picker forces you to pick a date from the dialog box, but the date I want to enter is years ahead but I'm forced to cycle though the months till i reach the date I'm interested in.

The legacy date pick allows you to type the date from the keyboard rather than picking it from the calendar popup.

I have searched the community and google and can't believe this has not come up, any suggestions please let me know?

Thanks in advance.

Sorting table using fabric-editor

Newly started looking at Confluence 6.14, and was asked a simple method for Calendaring.
Asked by Donald McMahon:

The team wants to have the views on current projects, current DevOps assignments, a quick view of the persons' status, and to top it off put reporting behind it for our leaders. I have looked in the marketplace, I think some solutions "Handy Marcos", "Road map Planner" may give a correct direction, does anyone have experience with these to comment if this might be a direction or a can or worms better left on the dock.

Confluence Server REST API changes
Asked by Lukas Gotter _ Meetical:

Hi,

is there a Change History for the Confluence Server REST API anywhere available?

* What did change within Version 6.0.0 - 6.15.0?
* What changed since Version 5.5? When was the REST API initially released?

Thanks for any hints.

Lukas


Answers:
author: Logan Clemons
body: <https://docs.atlassian.com/atlassian-confluence/REST/5.5/>

Is that kind of what you're looking for? You can just compare and contrast later versions.

comments: author: Lukas Gotter _ Meetical
body: Thanks Logan, this is indeed a bit of help.

Better would be a change log to mention what changed from

- Confluence Version 5.5.x to Version 6.0.x

- Confluence Version 6.0.x to Version 6.15.x and LATEST

Do you know if there is any change log regarding this somewhere?


author: Lukas Gotter _ Meetical
body: Note:

Confluence 7.1 just introduced a new endpoint for Licensing.

See [Preparing for Confluence 7.1](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/preparing-for-confluence-7-1-976775892.html).


author: Davin Studer
body: Are you looking for the [Confluence Release Notes](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-release-notes-327.html)?

comments: author: Lukas Gotter _ Meetical
body: This could be another source to manually search for all changes. I was looking for a document, showing changes, new endpoints/resources/APIs, removed APIs etc. Thanks for your suggestion.

The goal is to understand if you are compatible with the whole 6.x Confluence.

Another source with possible changes/fixes is the [public issues on the Content Rest API of Confluence](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-52558?jql=project%20%3D%20CONFSERVER%20AND%20issuetype%20%3D%20Bug%20AND%20status%20%3D%20Closed%20AND%20component%20%3D%20%22Core%20-%20Content%20REST%20APIs%22).

In general, however it looks like the REST API did not change much in the whole Version 6 of Confluence.

confluence page list
Asked by Hsu Yao Chang:

Dear Support Team,

How can we use sql command to list pages title list by space? Thanks a lot.


Answers:
author: Ilya Turov
body: hello, you can use something like

```
SELECT c.contentid, c.contenttype, c.title
FROM CONTENT c 
  JOIN SPACES s
ON c.spaceid = s.spaceid
WHERE c.prevver IS NULL and s.spacename = 'your space name'
```

I don't have access to db atm, but believe it should work

"c.prevver is NULL" is used to get only actual versions of pages, also it should get you all contenttype, so you can add condition for it yourself

comments: author: Davin Studer
body: You should also filter on CONTENT_STATUS to not get deleted page. Also, if you've set up your Confluence database according to their best practices then it might also be case sensitive collation. So, you would need to do something like this.

```
SELECT C.CONTENTID, C.CONTENTTYPE, C.TITLE
FROM CONTENT C
INNER JOIN SPACES S ON C.SPACEID = S.SPACEID
WHERE C.PREVVER IS NULL and C.CONTENT_STATUS= 'current' and C.CONTENTTYPE = 'PAGE' and S.SPACENAME = 'your space name'
