Include Macro Missing - No Macro Metadata
Asked by Adam Birkner:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: ['No Macro Metadata' errors](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=347341441)*

Logging into my Confluence Cloud subscription today I noticed that all of my include macros are broken.

The pages look like this: image2017-2-2 17:4:55.png

When editing I see this placeholder: image2017-2-2 17:6:25.png

Clicking into the macro gives me this error: image2017-2-2 17:7:27.png

No macro metadata {#toc-hId-1679738536}
---------------------------------------

There is no metadata configured for this macro which means no configuration screen can be presented here.

If this is a user macro then you can add metadata to the template using the [User Macro Administration](https://kentuckykingdom.atlassian.net/wiki/admin/usermacros.action) console.

I tried adding a new include for testing and the macro is no longer listed as available.

Answers:
author: Luiz Farias
body: Hi Adam,

I suppose you are talking about the [Include Page Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/include-page-macro-139514.html), is that correct?  
Couldn't you find this macro on browse macro menu? It can be accessed if you start typing "{" (without quotes) while editing a page, then selecting "Open macro browser" option.

If you are facing problems to find this macro or any other on the menu, you may need to rebuild the index of your confluence instance. This may be useful: [Content Index Administration](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/content-index-administration-148844.html)

End of life Confluence 5.7.1?
Asked by Anne Hickey:

When is the Confluence 5.7.1 end of life scheduled? The current page (<https://confluence.atlassian.com/support/atlassian-support-end-of-life-policy-201851003.html>) does not show anything earlier than 5.8 which is June 2, 2017.


Answers:
author: Luiz Farias
body: Hi Anne,

As the EOL policy mentioned, each major version is supported for two years after the major iteration of that version was released.

In this case, the major iteration for **5.7.1** was the **5.7** version - released on 01/28/2015  
So, the version 5.7.x was already deprecated, that's the reason why it's not on the table since the EOL was reached on 01/28 of this year.

How do I integrate Confluence Knowledge Base with Service Desk?
Asked by Brady Volpe:

Hi, I'm testing Confluence (for the second time). I've created some knowledge base articles. I would like to migrate my existing Wordpress support site over to confluence to integrate it with my Service Desk. I find it very easy to create content on Confluence, but I have no idea how to integrate Confluence with anything else on Atlassian. It seems like an island. I'm using Service Desk with my customers and I can easily create tasks and bugs directly from Service Desks into JIRA - Confluence is not so intuitive. Do you have a video or help session I can use to get me up and running? Otherwise I won't be able to go past the trial. BTW, I've gone through the online help docs, but they don't help at all. ![sad](/html/@C495B4504065515364EB1894F812B34C/images/emoticons/sad.png "sad")

Thanks,

-Brady


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: The most simple approach to this is pretty basic, but not strongly highlighted in the docs.

First, establish an application link between JIRA and Confluence

Second, go to one of your Service Desk projects in JSD and look at the project administration - you should find an option to point at a knowledge base, and it should recognise your Confluence is there. Tell it the Confluence Space you want to use as a KB for that Service Desk!

After moving pages with requirements, invalid dependencies to former pages still appear
Asked by Nancy Moir:

A user moved a set of pages that contain requirements (Requirement Yogi) from one space to another. Now, in the new space, the requirements still show dependencies to pages in the old space that no longer exist. For example, the three links below in space 'PM' are old and they point to pages that no longer exist. When I click them I get the message below.

How do I get rid of these old and invalid dependencies? Thank you.

attachment confluence content
Asked by Hsu Yao Chang:

Dear Support Team,   
Would it be possible to use sql language to find out attachments list in some space? We use as listed as below:  
select \* from attachments where pageid in (select pageid from content where spaceid='12288001')

But some attachments are not shown in the result.


Answers:
author: Rodney Hughes
body: Not sure what the context is of your request, but ...

why not just insert the "Attachments" macro in the main body of the page

Edit Mode then \<\<Insert+\>\> and select \<\<Other Macros\>\>

Thanks a lot.

Why can't I disable Confluence Mobile?
Asked by Jason Tocci:

Our administrators don't see the "disable" option above the mobile plugin in General Configuration \> Manage Add-ons \> System.

We want to disable mobile view because it makes Confluence unnavigable. There is no way to see a page tree, as the Page Tree macro doesn't work on mobile and the sidebar doesn't appear on mobile.


Answers:
author: Steven F Behnke
body: You could put a support ticket in and ask Atlassian Support to disable it. System plugins are not able to be managed via Application Admins in Cloud.


author: Randy
body: It's not possible to disable in cloud. The documentation you linked to is old and is for v6.0. Cloud is running off v7 and the documentation can be found here:

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/confluence-mobile-724764728.html>

In my experience, once you switch to desktop version, all subsequent pages you load in the browser will be in the desktop version view until you explicitly switch it back.

Hope this helps.


author: Jason Tocci
body: Thank you, but I don't mean to ask how to switch to Desktop version upon loading the site; I want to ask how to make sure the mobile version never loads at all. Documentation indicates that "Administrators can disable Confluence mobile on your site," but this appears not to be the case. <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-mobile-284365706.html>

If it would be helpful, I could submit a separate question: How can I make the page tree appear in Confluence mobile so that our knowledge base is navigable?


author: Randy
body: Tap the hamburger nav in the top left corner -\> Switch to desktop version

Unresolved comments search display resolved comments

It is annoying that this function display some of the resolved comments.

I cannot "resolve" an resolved comment. So the search result is always with lots of comments which makes this feature useless...


Answers:

body: Hi Gear,

I just released a fix for this. There were some comments still being shown that were resolved through the text of the inline comment being deleted (so-called "dangling" inline comments).

How do I hide the page title on specific pages in Confluence cloud?
Asked by Dan Zietlow:


Answers:
author: Luiz Farias
body: Hello Dan,

This is possible with CSS enabling the Custom Stylesheets for Spaces.  
First you need to follow the instructions on this page to enable Custom Stylesheets: [Styling Confluence with CSS](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Styling+Confluence+with+CSS)

This CSS code will hide the title from your pages:

```
#title-heading {display:none;}.page-metadata {display:none;}
```

However, this CSS will be applied to all pages from a specific space.

Why reorder option not available?
Asked by Ruth Simpson Frost:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: [Move and Reorder Pages](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=829077200)*

What's working: While editing an existing page, the Move Page dialog box has the Reorder option.

What's not working as expected: While creating a new page, the Set Page Location dialog box does not have the Reorder option. Why not?


Answers:
author: Rob Woodgate
body: Hi Ruth,

That's an interesting question. We could speculate, but the only people who could tell you for sure are Atlassian. If it's an issue for you, put a ticket in to jira.atlassian.com and ask them to add the Reorder checkbox to the Move panel when creating a page. If they can't/won't, you may be able to at least get an explanation of why.

If you put a ticket in, can you come back here and post the link so that other interested parties can see it and vote for it?

Send weekly report to admin regarding open tasks for all users
Asked by Renato:

Is there a function that sends an automatically generated weekly task report to the administrators? Just so admins have an overview over which user has open tasks and how many. Thanks in advance


Answers:
author: Rob Woodgate
body: Hi Renato,

Short answer: No.

Longer answer: This functionality isn't natively available in Confluence. Atlassian's to-do list software is essentially JIRA (and they've just bought Trello as well), so there's not much incentive for them to add additional task list functionality in Confluence. However, there are a number of [task add-ons](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?application=confluence&category=&cost=&hosting=&marketingLabel=&q=tasks) which might help you.

dependencies issues while compiling Confluence source
Asked by Morad Edwar:

I am trying to compile Confluence on a CentOS 7 Server, I installed OpenJDK8 and the "mailer" and "ojdbc6" dependencies. and here is how I installed the dependencies :  

```
./mvn325.sh install:install-file -DgroupId=javax.mail -DartifactId=mail -Dversion=1.x.x -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=../javamail/mail.jar -s "settings.xml" -Dmaven.repo.local="`pwd`/localrepo"
```

```
./mvn325.sh install:install-file -DgroupId=com.oracle -DartifactId=oracle-jdbc15 -Dversion=11.2.0.1.0 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=../ojdbc6.jar -s "settings.xml" -Dmaven.repo.local="`pwd`/localrepo"
```

And after executing build.sh script it takes a lot of time downloading and compiling to end with this error :

```

comments: author: Yurii Bilash

Problem with second page of quick searches
Asked by Greg Della-Croce:

Since going to 5.10.7, the quick search has been acting strangely.

Is there a simple fix for this or is this a bug?

Tracking page views/visitors
Asked by Martin Lewis:

I understand the 'usage stats' pluigin is unavailable for the Confluence Cloud. Why is this? It is vital to know how frequently a page is viewed to know if it is useful, and very helpful to know who has (and therefore hasn't) viewed a page.

Are there other plug-ins that can do this, of is the capability simply not possible? Can google analytics fill the gap?

Cheers, Martin

author: Marcel Nick
body: If you are using Confluence Cloud, [Page View Analytics for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.view26.pageview-insights.spaces.confluence/cloud/overview) allows you track page views \& perform reporting.

comments: author: Matthew Crownover
body: Does it allow you to track customer views though. User views are not what I am interested in viewing.


author: Tim
body: Hi Martin,

We've created an add-on that tracks page views in Confluence Cloud. It includes an overview of activity but also the details like who has viewed a particular page.

You can find more information here: [Analytics for Confluence Cloud](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.addonengine.analytics/cloud/overview)


author: Rob Woodgate
body: Nic has covered some good alternatives, but to answer your question about Google Analytics: No, you can't use it on Cloud because you'll need to inject a tracking tag into every single page, and that can't be done in Cloud.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: It's because the built-in usage stats stuff is frankly archaic and does not perform well. It works, but doesn't scale well. I'm not sure why it's even left in there any more.

There's a couple of add-ons I reach for here. View Tracker for Server and Analytics for Cloud - very different, but both seem to get me trustworthy numbers. (I've injected google analytics on server, but it was a while ago. I prefer dedicated add-ons personally, much as GA does work)
