How can I use a hyperlink on an image/icon?
Asked by Mark Lee:

I would like to use buttons or icons to link to external sites. I can add the link or icon just fine, however when I select the image, the hyperlink icon is disabled (greyed out).

Any ideas?

body: [@Mark Lee](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3775606) I think you are using New Editing Experience in Confluence Cloud. And This functionality is yet not available.

You can add link to 'emoticons' (inserted by typing : or by clicking emoji icon in toolbar)

There are plugin available for this in marketplace like, "[Scroll ImageMap for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/253/scroll-imagemap-for-confluence)"

body: Thanks [@DPKJ](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/690016), that's correct I'm using the New Editing Experience. Not availlable \*yet\*... does mean it's planned? Is there a publicly available roadmap where I can see what else is coming?

Has the confluence-questions API been deprecated for Server version as well?
Asked by Anirudh Mathad:

I see here : <https://docs.atlassian.com/confluence-questions/rest/index.html>

Confluence Cloud no longer has a REST-API for Questions.

<br />

<br />

What is the case for Confluence Server?


Answers:
author: Daniel Eads
body: Hi Anirudh, welcome to the Community!

Confluence Server still has a REST API for the Questions for Confluence add-on. [It's available here](https://docs.atlassian.com/confluence-questions/rest/index.html) - while the document seems like it might be out of date based on the old Confluence logo, it's just because the end-points have been stable since Questions 2.3. The API is still available in the most recent release for Server, Questions for Confluence 2.7.

Cheers,

Issue with permissions
Asked by Allison Beaudry:

I am having a heck of a time giving a particular user access to a page. Despite removing all restrictions from the space, as well as all the parent/child pages, they are still unable to access the page and receive the restricted page alert.

Is there a delay when permissions are altered?

How to make a GET request to JIRA REST API from a Confluence Cloud Macro with fetch()?
Asked by Emeka Mbazor:

This is more of a technical question but the Developer Community has been pretty unhelpful thus far.

I want to make a GET request to the JIRA REST API from a Confluence Cloud macro I'm developing for my internship. Because Atlassian doesn't support cross-platform requests natively, I have to make the request outside of routes/index.js and instead in a script tag of the .hbs file in my views folder. I'm prototyping so I'm only using [basic auth](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/basic-auth-for-rest-apis/)as detailed in the documentation. When I test it outside my app with the command line with curl and also straight up in my browser while I'm logged into Confluence I'm able to get the issues I want to return. But... when I attempt to make the request form within the .hbs file an OPTIONS request gets made instead and the Authentication header with the username and password that I set is not there...

This is the code that I'm using....

let url = 'https://site[.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/search](https://emeka-at-homer.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/search)'

<br />

let h = new Headers(); h.append('Accept', 'application/json');

<br />

let encoded = window.btoa('USERNAME:APITOKEN'); let auth = "Basic " + encoded;

h.append('Authorization', auth)

<br />

let req = new Request(url, { method: 'GET', headers: h })

<br />

fetch(req)

.then( (res) =\> {

return res.json().then( (data) =\> {

if(res.ok) { return data; } else { return Promise.reject({status: res.status, data}); } }); }) .then((data) =\> { console.log(data); })

Does anyone know why this is happening?


Answers:
author: marc -Collabello--Phase Locked-

Draw.io diagrams are not displayed

Access for vendors
Asked by Maya Fleisher:

Hi,

I have a group of vendors I would like to give them access to specific pages from different spaces but they shouldn't have access to any other pages in the space.

I thought about opening a different space for them and mirror the specific pages but it won't work if I will restrict them from the origin space.

Is that correct? Is there any other solution beside maintain the specific pages twice?

Thanks,

Maya


Answers:
author: JP _AC Bielefeld Leader_
body: Hi,

the permission concept of Confluence grants permission on a space (No access, read, read/write,...)

On pages you can only restrict access, i.e. you can never give more rights on a page than on a space.

Another important aspect is that as pages are stored in page hierarchy, view restrictions (hide page) are inherited from root / parent pages to child pages.

This is relevant for your use case.

To achieve your should create a parent page in each space where your vendors have access \& move all page they should be allowed to view below this parent page. This is actually a thing we do in our department \& project spaces: A "public" parent page with child pages containing information for everyone \& an "Internal" parent page with hidden child pages.

How to trace the person who move a page or a set of them
Asked by Francoise DUCLOS:

I would like to control who moves pages to be able to explain the best pratices to the right person :-). In fact when I move a page, without to change it, I have no history about it, how to check the author of the movement?


Answers:
author: Kev
body: Hi [@Francoise DUCLOS](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3443995) ,  

I'm not sure on tracking the history of page movements, but you can certainly track changes and who changed a page last by viewing the "Page Information", or "Page History" options from the three dots menu.

In terms of preventing people from moving the pages, you can set this under the "Restrictions" menu option.  

Hope that helps.

Cheers

Kev

comments: author: Francoise DUCLOS
body: yes, I can track the changes (history) but not the movements of page, that's the problem

Usins restrictions could be not the best way, depending the use that I want to offer to my readers.

I am looking for something kiste a "lock" button

Thanks for you respond ans your time

Best regards


author: Kev
body: I think the only thing you can do is to use restrictions to determine which users can view/edit your page.  

The problem is that anyone with edit permissions can also move the page. so you may have to lock permissions down to just those users that you're happy to allow edit permissions to.  

Kind regards...

Link to page content only
Asked by Lee Wade:

Hi, is it possible to to create a url that links to our confluence pages but only the page content, this is for an iframe that would should help popups.


Answers:
author: Dave Theodore [Coyote Creek Consulting]
body: Not sure if this is what you're after, but there are a couple built-in macros that may do what you need. The [Excerpt Include Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/excerpt-include-macro-148067.html) allows you to display text from one page on another page within Confluence. If the source something other than Confluence (or Confluence for that matter,) the [Anchor Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/anchors-139442.html) allows you to go directly to a portion of the page where you add the anchor. The [Table of Contents Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/table-of-contents-macro-182682099.html) works similarly, but based on [Header](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/add-formatting-to-your-page-724764836.html#Addformattingtoyourpage-text) text.

If that's not what you're after, please provide more details about what you're trying to do and we should be able to help.

But, I searched the community and found [this post](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Answers-Developer-Questions/Using-the-Confluence-REST-API-to-find-all-versions-in-page/qaq-p/551693).

You can try this:

```
<server>/rest/experimental/content/<page_id>/version?expand=content?
```

As described, it is experimental and I don't know if this will ever become official.

Content by label macro - hide empty list container - no css access
Asked by joel_mitchell_cxpartners:

Hello there

I am using the Content by label macro but it is showing an ugly box when no results are returned for the label filters (see attached below). I want to have this ugly box hidden as it is confusing and unnecessary but I do not have high enough admin privileges to add some css to set the class "**.macro-blank-experience**" to "**display: none;**"

Is there a setting that will allow me to turn this off without hacking css? It blows up tables and destroys the layout.

Unsupported Content Error Message
Asked by Karthik Sriraman:

Hi,

We are now getting the same error as in "Unsupported Content" when we are trying to load a template which was working before . Screenshot attached for reference :

Is there anything changed recently? Is there a workaround to get this working again ?

Note : We are using the "Create from template" macro here in order to call our custom defined template.

And in our custom defined template we are using "Page Properties" macro

Would really appreciate any help in regards to this issue to get this resolved.

Thanks,

Karthik


Answers:
author: Kendra F.
body: Hey Karthik, I had this issue and after some debugging with the Atlassian support team, these were the culprits that were causing it for us.. maybe there's something similar in your template?

- Have nested bullets within an \`/expand\` macro (so 2nd, or 2rd layer bullets)

- Having a \`/jira\` macro that picks up on issue names with special characters that is nested under an \`/expand\` macro (I couldn't pinpoint which ones, but we commonly use the / and \> in our naming conventions, which I found would break when within the expand macro

- Images and tables pasted in from outside sources, such as google sheets, with special formulas and characters that when pasted, weren't pasted using cmd+shift+v (mac) or paste without style on windows --\> this paste removes any special formatting and just pastes in the text.

Something we did to debug was to create a blank page, add a section at a time to identify which sections were actually causing the unsupported content. Tedious, but it worked!

Hope this helps find the culprit!
how can i activate HTTPS on Confluence

   2. This post is extremely well written.
2. If you are using reverse proxy (I like this better because, I can run several virtual host and don't have to expose Confluence server directly to the internet)
   1. Add HTTPs to reverse proxy (it depend on what you are using like Nginx or Apache httpd)
   2. Make changes to 'proxyPort' and 'scheme' in server.xml config file and you are good to go.
