Can't sort some columns anymore in JIRA Issue/Filter macro?
Asked by Vera Henrichs:

Hi

I have pages in Confluence had have a JIRA Issue/Filter macro have trouble sorting, I have 6 columns:

1. Key
2. Summary
3. Assignee
4. OTAP
5. Status
6. Type
7. Reporter

But only the headers of Key and Status are clickable to sort. How come?

The only thing that has changed and maybe has to do with it (?!) is that I had some trouble with the Application Links, but I have deleted them and added them again succesfully.

I have also tried to add the macro again on a page, maybe that would help, but no.

My user was pretty sure that *all* the columns were sortable....

Confluence License is permanent ?
Asked by Vu Nguyen Hong:

Dear all,

I do not know if Confluence License is permanent or not ?. In case, I buy as below then I have to pay again for the second year or just pay for support only ?

|-----------------------------------------------------|
| 1 Confluence (Server) 100 Users: Commercial License |
| - Support Period: 12 month(s)                       |

Thanks,

VuNH


Answers:
author: Robert Reiner _smartics_
body: I'm no expert on licensing, but Atlassian states (<https://www.atlassian.com/licensing/confluence/#serverlicenses-1>):
> Our software licenses entitle you to perpetual use, and include 12 months maintenance (updates/support) commencing from the date of purchase. Renewing maintenance is entirely optional.

This makes me assume that you need not to renew. Although new and interesting features will probably tempt you to do so ... :wink:


author: Lars Bachmann
body: I would strongly recommend that you purchase the renewal licence after the first 12 months to get all the updates.


author: Alex Yasurek
body: Hi,

You have to renew the license every year. So 12 months from the day you purchase this 100 user license you will need to purchase another 12 months and so on.

comments: author: Vu Nguyen Hong
body: Hi Alex,

Thanks for your answer. I understand here the renewing license is for technical support and software update ?. My server keeps working after license expires ?


author: Alex Yasurek
body: I am not sure since I have never let our instance expire but I would assume some functionality would not work anymore. You probably won't be able to create new users or add new content but pages may still be viewable at least. You would also probably get a message somewhere on the page stating that your license has expired. Their business is based on licensing so you have to keep renewing the license if you want to use it.
assigning an LDAP directory to new users in confluence
Asked by Gregory Hicks:

So I might be a dummy and just not seeing the check box for this but...

In JIRA when we create a new user it ask for **Directory** (which where we have our LDAP directories) as a drop down so when creating the account we select what LDAP directory the account is in so we don't have to provide a password. I confluence it doesn't seem to provide that option for some reason, it asks for User name; Full Name; email and doesn't ask which directory the account is under.

We cannot use the "Copy User on Login" because we only have a 200 user license and don't want random people in our company creating accounts and using the software.

Is it possible to get Confluence to have the same account creation as JIRA in the since it requires us to select a directory when creating a new account?


Answers:
author: Gregory Hicks
body: It's not possible, there is a ticket in with atlassian from 2014 and doesn't look like they're inclined to resolve it.

confluance, bitbucket and jira on one server
Asked by Howard Benson:

Is it possible to install and run more than one Atlassian product on a single server. Use a single server with TomCat and install Jira, Confluence and BitBucket.


Answers:
author: Midori
body: Absolutely. You can run 3 Tomcat's on the same physical server, one for each Atlassian application.

(This is how we run them, and many other companies do the same.)


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Possibly, but that's a wooley answer because the language is imprecise here (not your fault, the industry in general has messed this one up for you)

Server could mean two things here; a computer or an application server. A computer can run all three of them at the same time fine as long as it has the resources (memory, cpu etc). An application server (like Tomcat) runs other applications, and is used to run the Atlassian apps.

So, by all means, run them on one server. But use three separate application servers.

(Technically, you could run JIRA, Confluence and Bitbucket in one. In theory. In real life - don't. It is not recommended, not supported, and trashes your data in some cases)

why a view only user cant edit a page if I allow it by page restrictions
Asked by Giuseppe Coletti:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: [Page Restrictions](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=724764891)*

I have a user that belongs to a group that has view only permission on a space.

If I want to give to that user the permission to edit a single page

by using a page restriction

that does't work.

The user can edit the page.

Can you help me to understand the relations between space permission and page restrictions about the editing capability ?

Thanks


Answers:
author: Georges Moubarak
body: Hi @Giuseppe Coletti,

If a user have the add pages permission to a space, then she has the edit permission to all pages.

You can restrict that user from editing a certain page by applying page restrictions. If that user doesn't have the add pages space permission, even if she is added to the list of users which the page editing is restricted to, she won't be able to edit the page.

I hope my answer is clear enough and answers your question.

attachment list for linking does not display all items
Asked by Matthias Schouten:

Hi,

we currently have couple of pages that have alot of attachments on a page. This can be 100+. Yes, I know this is quetionable. However we are no facing the issue that not all attachments are displayed within the "link" menu.

What I noticed so far is, that the list of attachments is 50. So there must be some sort of limitation to it. Is there a property to configure this?

Steps to reproduce:

* Have a page with 51+ attachments.
* Edit this page
* Go to "link"
* select "Files"  
  result: the first 50 Attachments are displayed, the 51+ not

does somebody know the issue?

How to configure email using Confiform
Asked by Glady James:

I have used "onCreated" event using "ConfiForms IFTTT Integration Rules" macro then I have created a record but I don't see any email regarding, do I need configure email manually or will it be sent to admin email directly?


Answers:
author: Davin Studer
body: You set up an IFTTT macro with the Event as onCreated and the Action to perform as Send Email. See below screenshots. The body of the IFTTT macro will be what is sent. This used the SMTP setup that is in Confluence Admin, so if you don't have that set up, then there will be no email.

How can I prevent anonymous access to the Dashboard?
Asked by Keith Wallace:

I want to prevent access to the Dashboard for anonymous users. How can this be configured?


Answers:
author: Alex Yasurek
body: If you have your instance open to anonymous users then they will be able to see the dashboard. You can determine what spaces they see but I believe they get to see the dashboard by default. What you can do is install a redirect plugin which will redirect users to a different page that serves as the dashboard. You can have different dashboards for different groups of users. In your case you can have one that anonymous users see and one that logged in users see.

Why is it possible for a user to open a page using the full url but not the tiny url?
Asked by Paul Jones:

We have configured Confluence so that a named user group (endurocadd-users in the permission) can access a Confluence space but are not Confluence users. We have used tiny url links to link to pages however users from the named user group do not have permission to access the page, however they do have permission to access the page if either a/ they use the full url OR b/ they are a Confluence users. Why do the permissions for a named user group to access a space differ based on whether a tiny url or full url are used, and how can I fix this?

PocketQuery - Cached Result Reverses Column Order
Asked by Isaac_Pring:

Using Pocket Query v2.0.7, once a query has been cached, the next time it is run (i.e. the results are pulled from the cache) the column order in the result set is reversed.

e.g.

- Query run first time results contain columns: *Name, Total.*

- Query run second time (results pulled from cache) and results contain columns:*Total, Name*

When displaying data in a simple table, this is not ideal as once cached the data is no longer presented as originally intended.

Is this a bug? or something wrong with my particular implementation?

Once caching is disabled all works as normal and the column order reflects what is defined in the SQL query.
