How can i work with Angular 5 in Confluence Add-on ?
Asked by samer2016:

I'm new with confluence and i would like to create an Add-on with angular 5 in front , how can i do that ? any requirements ? and thanks a lot


Answers:
author: Usman Khalid
body: Hi [@samer2016](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1187636), it is definitely possible to do that. If you use [something like this](https://bitbucket.org/atlassianlabs/atlassian-webresource-webpack-plugin) it would probably make your life easier. However, I do want to caution that bundling a hefty library (like angular 5) within an add-on is not a good practice (unless of course it comes pre-bundled within Confluence).

Will "Read only mode" be available in the future for development server instances ?
Asked by Pablo Gallego _Appfire_:

As it is said in the Confluence 6.8 Read Only mode information [here](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/preparing-for-confluence-6-8-943980256.html) :

" For testing purposes you can enable this dark feature and try it out on a Server instance, but the finished feature will only be available for Data Center installations. "

Will the read only mode also be available in future server versions (not only in 6.8 server) whenever the finished feature is released for Data Center?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: That is not currently the plan, from what I heard on Team Tour. It will be a DC-only feature (but I suspect it will remain as a dark feature in Server)

How to embed a URL to our SFTP server
Asked by Mary Cook:

I am trying to figure out the best way to include a url to our secure SFTP server without requiring users to enter in a separate password for the server AND still protect the content from being shared. Any ideas or articles you can lead me to?


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hi Mary,

Any link that also includes the password would then allow users to access the data and share it. I've added the Marketplace tag on your question in case any users have ideas that involve some 3rd party add-ons.

Regards,

Shannon

comments: author: Mary Cook
body: Thanks Shannon. I'm hoping to be able to embed the link without need of also providing a password. Thanks for the Marketplace tag.

Pulling RSS feed into Confluence
Asked by Jenrick Lau:

Good Morning,

I'm pulling a RSS feed into confluence, and it displays the items but it looks like it's displaying the first item and not chronologically. Is there a way to sort this? I added the feed to my outlook, and it seem to be sorting on its own.

Feed in question - <https://static.nvd.nist.gov/feeds/xml/cve/misc/nvd-rss.xml>


Answers:
author: Damien Tan
body: Hey [@Jenrick Lau](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1187578)

I've tried to subscribe to the RSS Feed using the link you've provided and the result return in the page seems to match with what is shown when I browse the URL directly.

**RSS Feed:**

![rss.JPG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/15559i56A625689B0F40A4/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "rss.JPG")

**Browse Directly:**

![xml.JPG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/15561iFE9B27BD44AD2C40/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "xml.JPG")

And here is my [Storage Format](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-storage-format-790796544.html) for the RSS Macro:

```
<p><br /></p><p><ac:structured-macro ac:name="rss" ac:schema-version="1" ac:macro-id="58a1caff-8e4e-41df-b1c9-a64f2ea2c6f7"><ac:parameter ac:name="url"><ri:url ri:value="https://static.nvd.nist.gov/feeds/xml/cve/misc/nvd-rss.xml" /></ac:parameter></ac:structured-macro></p>
```

Can you check if thats the same with yours? Besides, what is the version of Confluence you are using?

comments: author: Jenrick Lau
body: Good morning,

Sorry, I have been absolutely swamp!

I'm currently using Confluence 6.6.1.

And yes! That's the feed I have (I do get that,) but I'm looking to reverse the sequence, since the oldest shows up first vs, newest. Is there a way to re-order it so that it's reversed?

I'm currently using the built in RSS macro to pull it in, and it looks great! Just hoping to reverse the order.


author: Damien Tan
body: now I get what you're looking for. you'd like Confluence to show the list fed from the RSS to be reversed. The built in macro can't do that and i've found the feature request here that is closed:

* <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-17233>

perhaps you'll need a way to get the RSS to be fed in reverse sequence and register that URL to Confluence
Connecting Cloud Based JIRA and Confluence
Asked by B2C Admin:

How to delete particular file in Confluence and how to upload file which is more then 10 MB
Asked by VIKAS SADAVARTE:

How to delete particular file in Confluence and how to upload file which is more then 10 MB


Answers:
author: VIKAS SADAVARTE
body: Thanks team,

Few more question

1. How to see version history for a file in confluence, if it has been uploaded several times?
2. Is there way to display the files just in list, it seems to show them as big icons?
3. How to link particular JIRA id to confluence and vice versa. Which option to select


author: Mikael Sandberg
body: You are looking at space permissions, which is different from Confluence admin, which is a [global permissions](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/global-permissions-overview-724765488.html) setting for your Confluence site. If you do not have site admin permission, you need to talk to the person that set your site up and have them either do the attachment change or give you Confluence admin.

Btw, I am not working for Atlassian. Yes, there are a small team from Atlassian on this community, but most of us are either customers or partners with Atlassian.

author: Mikael Sandberg
body: To delete a file, just go to the attachments of the page you uploaded the file to and delete if from there. Have a look at [Manage Files](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/manage-files-139415.html#ManageFiles-Deleteanattachedfile). Note that you need to have the right space permissions to delete attachments.

To upload a file larger then 10 Mb, you need to go the General Settings and change Maximum Attachment size.
Can I create a table that shows data from child pages on the parent page?
Asked by Allen Chun:

Hi Atlassian Community,

Is there a way I can create a child page using a form in a dialog? For example

there's a button in parent page that will show a form in a dialog when clicked.

I would also like to retrieve all info from child pages and display it in parent page.

Thanks in advance

body: Hi [@Allen Chun](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1183157),
> Is there a way I can create a child page using a form in a dialog?

Yes, when you create a meeting note in your confluence space, you have a main page in which you can find a button. Pressing this button you can create more meeting notes. Is this what you need? In addition, you can use the macro called: "Create from template".
> I would also like to retrieve all info from child pages and display it in parent page.

You can use the "Page properties" and "Page properties report" macros.

comments: author: Allen Chun
body: Hi [@Francesc Arb?](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/435305)

Thanks for the heads up.

I was able to create a child page using "Create from Template" macro. I specify the page template I want create for this macro, but it's not displaying in a dialog. Are there any ways to display a custom template in a dialog? or define fields in a form dialog.

I was also able to retrieve the info in child pages using page propertiies macro.
How to make a description field with a grey background while edit mode?
Asked by Clem guigue:

Like you can see on the screenShot:

"Nom de la personne" and "date d'approbation" got grey background color while edit mode.

Answers:
author: Christo Mastoroudes _Adaptavist_
body: Just to be clear what you have found is exactly the same solution. To display placeholder text in normal pages without making templates first, you can follow the steps I provided above. I have tested it and the end result is the same. Unfortunately I am not aware of an easier way to do this for normal pages.

![Screen Shot 2018-02-15 at 10.13.03.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/14998i68314F6515723252/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screen Shot 2018-02-15 at 10.13.03.png")

Unfortunately i don't have access to the \<\> menu option in edit mode... that's why

author: Christo Mastoroudes _Adaptavist_
body: Hi,

I see, unfortunately you will require the Confluence Source Editor addon to get that functionality.


author: Christo Mastoroudes _Adaptavist_
body: Hi, I am not entirely sure but that looks like placeholder text for edit mode.

Use the Confluence Source Editor addon, edit the page, click the "\<\>" button and put the following code.

```
<ac:placeholder>This text will only be visible in edit mode
</ac:placeholder>
```

If the answer solves your question please mark it as accepted so that it might benefit other people.

body: Thx Christo!

But it is not working.

Itell you if I find a solution


author: Clem guigue
body: I found it!

Actually The instruction Text area is available **only** while editing a **blueprint,**but you can't put instructions text while modifying the page itself (not the blueprint).

Create new child page using a form dialog
Asked by Allen Chun:

Hi Atlassian Community,

Is there a way the I can create a new page using a form in a dialog?  
sample fields in the form are Title, Status (dropdown), Members (Multi Select), and Description.   

Then on the parent page I can fetch all the data and display in a table.

Thanks in advance


Answers:
author: Hermance NDounga
body: I'm not sure if this workaround would work for you but you could :

1. Create a [template](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/create-a-template-296093779.html)
2. In the template, insert the macro Page properties and add the label "page-properties"
3. On the parent page, display the macro "create from Template
4. On the parent page, display the macro "Page properties report" and restrict to the label "page-properties"

For sure in the page property macro you won't have a drop down or a multi select but you can add instructional text to guide the users.

I hope it helps !

Create an new issues from inside Confluence
Asked by Johan Oelen:

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/use-jira-applications-and-confluence-together-427623543.html> describes how to create a new issue from within confluence. So far so good. Yet I would like generate a completely new issues every time someone activates the button. An Issue like "install patch for customer" A will be generated by patchworkerX today. Tomorrow the same routine will be performed for customer B by patchworkerZ.

When the work is done, the testrapport is attached to the issue and the issue is closed. Next customer, next patchworker == \> next issue Ideally the Issue is linked to a page in confluece, which contains the requirements for set-up, testing and definition of done.


Answers:
author: Jack Brickey
body: It might be helpful to see a screenshot of what you are looking for here. However, there is not "button" that can be added exactly. But here is what i'm thinking. Let's assume that in your Confluence space you build a "Patch Application" template and maybe it has a table in it that captures things like: Date, Patch Title, Patch #, Patch Worker etc. It is a simply matter to highlight the text in one of the fields and create a Jira issue. Granted it isn't a button but it is only 2 steps: highlight and click. Again, I'm not sure I fully appreciate you needs here so this may not meet your needs.

I'm sure you could script something using an addon for this as well so might be worth checking marketplace for Confluence addon.

comments: author: Johan Oelen
body: In this example the confluence page is linked to Issue Mod300-70. Should someone who is servicing these instruments click on the issue, do his work and close it. this issue will also be closed in confluence. So best would be if the issue is only a template with a preset name and time that generates a new issue when it is saved. A workaround would be to require the serviceworkers to clone the issue. This however is really a crutch, as people my forget to clone.![Screen Shot 2018-02-14 at 16.24.03.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/14884iDB586C7368B4355F/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screen Shot 2018-02-14 at 16.24.03.png")

Confluence theme development

Customize confluence to create a form and display created record.
Asked by Allen Chun:

Is there a way in confluence wherein I can create a page under a parent page and display the details of child pages in the parent pages.

There will be a button in the parent page once clicked by the user it will show a form to enter a title (textfield input), status (dropdown), members (multiple selection users), description  

Once save this will basically create a child page under the parent page.

The parent page then can display all the child pages in table displaying the   
title, status, members, likes etc...

I tried the ideation add-on but there are limitations that we cannot do there.

Thanks for the help in advance


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hi Allen,

In Confluence we just have the [Children Display Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/children-display-macro-139501.html) to display the Children, but nothing that creates pages other than the [Create from Template Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/create-from-template-macro-317196995.html).

The normal Create Page button will automatically create a child page of the page you are currently on unless you ask it to create the page elsewhere.

I've tagged your question in a way that the Marketplace collection will also display your question in case anyone else knows of an add-on that may help you. Hopefully someone will have other suggestions for you.

Regards,

Shannon
