Page comments are displayed in Edit mode when HTML Table encloses Confluence table
Asked by Wendy Fergusson:

With Confluence 5.7.2 and Adaptavist Content Formatting Macros plugin v4.2.7

On Firefox 38.1.0 and Chrome 43.0.2357.132 but not IE11, a page containing an HTML Table macro (from the Adaptavist Content Formatting Macros plugin) surrounding a regular Confluence table displays page comments while in Edit mode. Additionally in Chrome the edit portion of the window is only a few lines high and difficult to work with.

The display of comments in edit mode is reproducible. The small edit window in Chrome could only be reproduced by the user who originally reported the problem, not by others.

To reproduce the problem:

* create a page
* add an "HTML Table" macro
* inside the HTML Table, create a small Confluence table using the Insert Table icon
* save the page
* add a page comment and save it
* reload the page
* edit the page
  * comment is shown in edit mode

The page reload before edit is important. If you don't reload the page at that step, you won't see the problem on the first edit, but if you quit and go into edit mode a second time, you will see the problem then.

Need help from Adaptavist...

How do I get fields from ConfiForms to populate a JIRA ticket?
Asked by Daniel Ray:

I have a form created in Confluence with ConfiForms and I can get it to make a ticket as long as I do not try to line the fields of the form up with the fields of the screen on the ticket I am trying to create. I keep getting a JSON error. Here is the setup:

Confluence 5.7.4

ConfiForms 1.9.11

JIRA 6.3.1

Here is the script I used in the IFTTT macro: 2 Options neither worked

```
{    "fields": {       "project":       {           "key": "WIKI"       },       "summary": "[entry.summary]",       "issuetype": {          "name": "New Space Request"       }?customfield_22370? : ?[entry.spacename]??customfield_22371? : ?[entry.key]??customfield_22372? : ?[entry.purpose]??customfield_22373? : ?[entry.admin]??customfield_22374? : ?[entry.source]??customfield_22375? : ?[entry.existing]??customfield_22376? : ?[entry.category]??customfield_22377? : ?[entry.restrictions]?   }}

"Forgot Password?" page in confluence sends link to itself
Asked by Kian Stack Mumo Systems:

When a user cannot access their account, there is the "Forgot Password" link on the bottom. When that link is clicked and the username entered, it will send an email to the email address of the user.   

For the system I am working with, the link contained by the email is a link back to the "Forgot Password" page.   

Why isn't it sending a link to a password reset page? Is there a way I can change this?   

It is the latest version of Confluence, not connected with any sort of AD or LDAP.

Quickly navigate to a confluence space
Asked by Rahul Aich [Nagra]:

Hi

On our confluence instance we have hundreds of spaces.

We want to provide users with a way to quickly navigate to their respective space without having to browse through the space directory.

Is it possible to have some kind of recently viewed spaces gadget or some way i can display the top 10 accessed spaces on the homepage like we can do on JIRA?

Rahul


Answers:
author: Milo Test
body: Here's a number of suggestions:

* Categorize the spaces with a department name. Then put the Spaces List macro, set to default to a list of a certain category, on each users' home page.
* One semi-manual way would be to create pages with links to the pages important to each department. Then include that page on each user's home page.  
  When you make a change to the "quick links" page, all the users' home pages will automatically update.
* The default dashboard page has tabs for recent page views. If you haven't customized your landing page, the dashboard is accessible by clicking the logo icon in the upper left. You could also add a link to the dashboard by putting a link to:  
  https://yoursite.com/wiki/dashboard.action  
  in the sidebar, or the landing page, or on the users' home pages.
* Teach the users how to set pages as favorites or to watch pages, then they can click their avatar and select Favorites or Watches.

How to remove Unknown macro: {XYZ} error in multiple confluence pages
Asked by Pavan Kumar:

Hi All,

Couple of years back we have deleted few macro's which are used in many pages, We are getting "Unknown macro: {XYZ}" in all the pages how to get rid of these errors.

Thanks in Advance,

Kumar


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Edit the pages and remove the broken macro entries.

A slightly less clean trick is to define a "user macro" with the same name (i.e. XYZ), then you can control the output - at least make it a bit nicer than the "unknown macro" display.

body: I will try this tooThank You


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

body: Hi Kumar,

the Search and Replace Plugin (<https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/at.rumpelcoder.confluence.search-and-replace>) can remove macros globally.

Just find out the name of the macro (e.g. by looking at the storage format) and remove it using the plugin. IF you need further instructions, feel free to ask.

How do I update the same links across different pages/spaces in atlassian
Asked by sidhartha:

Hi,

Here is the use case for the above query. In our Wiki, we have different spaces and a lot of pages within each space. However, we have used the same link, for example 'contact@adsupport.com' to inform someone to contact our support team to get more information. Now, we want to update all such instances, such that when a user clicks on contact@adsupport.com, he is taken to a different link. For example, <http://www.google.com.> Is it possible? Let me know if you need some more information.

Thanks!!

Where is the best place to advertise the Atlassian admin email address for existing users to direct admin requests?
Asked by Anthony Pelosi:

At multiple companies, we have suffered from new and existing users emailing other users or direct email addresses for folks in IT when they have requests (new plugins, global permissions, new user request placed by an existing user, etc.). I've found that placing the admin email address on the logged out home page helps direct new users placing new user requests directly, but not when existing users submit the new user request on the person's behalf or for any other requests they may have. A banner is the most obvious solution, but it is annoying to see it there all the time even when most of the time you are not in the mindset of making a request.

Does anyone have a good way of advertising the admin email address to logged in users other than an ugly, always shown banner? We are using Atlassian Cloud for JIRA and Confluence.

Thanks!


Answers:
author: lavitz slambert
body: You could create a global space with a neat name like "I need Help" or something more formal as "Getting Support".

In this space you could create a main page on how to proceed in case of problems and the email they should use.

This would be like a FAQ page, but not to extensive so users would not have the "To Long, Didn't Read" attitude. That would be almost as efficient as the banner and way less annoying than the banner as that would be visible to all users only in the space section in the left corner.

You could also configure this space so users could add comments and give their input on what else they would need help or just a page with the process.

After you do that an email to all the employees mentioning the page a single time should be enough for spreading the habit :smile:.  
Hope it helps,

author: MattS
body: Lavitz has the right idea I reckon. It's about educating people - how do they know where to go for help about any system in the company? Once they know that, they'll find the info there about JIRA and Confluence and create concise and complete requests for the JIRA and Confluence team to work on. At least that's the idea!

migrating confluence to another server (licencing and stuff)
Asked by Michael Schouman:

Hi all,

First of all I will give some context to my questions. I hope that i am not overthinking this though.

We currently have one Confluence server which contains a lot of content but not structured right. This instance is also a very old release of Confluence. So i decided to install a fresh copy of Confluence on a freshly installed server.

Now comes the part where i am getting a bit stuck. I want to get the freshly installed instance to be up and running and migrate the content by copy pasting and restructuring the data by hand. I was thinking of installing a developer license on the current production instance and installing the production key on the freshly installed one. The current production instance isn't used very often (because of the current mess), so i can handle the downtime. Is this the way to go? Or are there other ways to still access the production instance while running the newer version?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: I'd do roughly what you have already suggested, although the other way around. I'd move the production licence over to the new system, as that's going to be production in the long run, and use the developer licence on the old one while you do the migrations from it. The dev licence is intended for this sort of situation, and you won't have any issues running both.

comments: author: Michael Schouman
body: Yea that is what i thought :-) but thanks for clearing it up!

Wrong search results with Chinese labels
Asked by Felix Grund (Scandio):

Hi everybody,

One of our customers is experiencing a weird search issue in their Chinese department. I broke the issue down to the most simple case: one page has the label **????** (other products) and one has the label **????** (product information). When I do a label search like **labelText:????**both pages are found:

Answers:
author: Stephen Deutsch
body: Hi Felix,

Taking a look at the documentation for the tokenizer for Lucene that deals with CJK characters, it seems like it splits up the characters into two-character bundles:

<https://lucene.apache.org/core/3_5_0/api/all/org/apache/lucene/analysis/cjk/CJKTokenizer.html>

That would explain why it matches the two characters for "product" in both strings.


author: Felix Grund (Scandio)
body: Hi Stephen,

Yes, we already solved this issue with Atlassian support. It actually works if you put the strings in double quotes. I'll accept your answer :wink:.
