Make table sorting enable within 3 HTML macros in one page
Asked by tloy:

Hi There,

I've written 3 different API requests in 3 different HTML Macros. Each of them is generating a table with the response. That all works fine.

What makes me a little lost is the fact, that only the first table is sortable.

The other two have the sorting buttons, but nothing happens when I click on them.

What I've already tried is to use the class:

```
class="aui aui-table-sortable tablesorter tablesorter-default"
```

and

```
class="relative-table wrapped confluenceTable tablesorter tablesorter-default"
```

inside a \<div\> with

```
class ="table-wrap"
```

maybe someone could help me on this

confluence - since your last visit
Asked by JiraYo:

Hey there is a popup that occurs every time you log into confluence. It says "since your last visit" and gives you a history of what has changed i guess?

i find this completely useless. it sits right over the search box, or the top menu bar, so you need to close this every time you open confluence to search for something. Is there some way to disable this feature? looked around on the forums and no one is complaining about this. i find it hard to believe that i am the only one with a problem with this popup.

Diagram with clickable (coloured) blocks

comments: author: Jeroen Haesen
body: Hi [@Moses Thomas](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1138700) , thanks for your answer. We tried with Gliffy, but that didn't work. You can create diagrams there, but we want to have 1 'template' diagram which can be used on different pages. Every page can have different blocks (from the same diagram) selected. That last part doesn't work with Gliffy.


author: Samie Kaufman - Your Gal at Gliffy
body: Hey Jereon!   

I bet there's a way we can get this done with Gliffy, but I might not understand exactly what your ask is. :)  

If I were trying to tackle a problem like this.. I might make one diagram of the system with no color blocks selected. You can publish it wherever you'd like in your instance.   

Then, on each page you want this network diagram to appear, you'd go in and use "Create a New Diagram," then "Use a Recent Diagram as a Template" to select your base diagram. Then you could select the color blocks you need for that specific page.   

I do think you'd have to do this manually for each page, but starting with that "core" diagram and using it repeatedly as a template would save a bunch of time.   

It would be super interesting to have a diagram that automatically recognizes elements like that, but I don't know that it can be done with Gliffy (yet!). I'll check with some folks and let you know if they have any other ideas!

Lost work on Confluence Page when Internet Went Down
Asked by Cody:

Hello,   

I was working in confluence when my internet went down. I quickly grabbed my phone, put my laptop on the hotspot, and hit "cancel" when it asked if I wanted to leave the page and risk losing my work (I didn't).  

But I had clicked close when the internet was down (because it said "Click here to save but not publish your changes" or something like that. So I couldn't do anything- I refreshed the page and, it appears, I've lost quite a bit of work.  

Is there a draft being saved somewhere? Hopefully?

Deleting attachmenst from a copied page

Answers:
author: Dan Winkler
body: Hi [@Vickie Edwards](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3557647)

I do this all the time, and the thing I still forget to do sometimes is to publish the page first, because that's when you can get to the attachments on a copied page.

After you publish, you should see the paper clip icon (at least that's what it looks like to me) at the top of the page, located to the right side of the breadcrumb. When you click the icon, it opens the Attachments page which is where you can delete attachments.

author: Bharath Kumar Kappala
body: [@Vickie Edwards](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3557647) On the Confluence page if you see all the way to the top right corner you will see three dots when you click on that option you would have see Attachments that are present in the current page.

You can click on that option and deleted the attachments present in the page and remember you would need the delete attachment permissions in the space before you can delete them from the page.

Hope this helps!

How to dictate the default parent page for a template?
Asked by Diana C:

Hi community,

We are using JIRA Service Desk on Cloud, and we have started building a Confluence Knowledge Base that's tied to our primary Service Desk JIRA project. We love the concept of being able to create "Troubleshooting" and "How To" pages from directly within a JIRA ticket, but we're running into a snag when it comes to WHERE those drafts are automatically started.

Our KB is sorted into 4 sub-directories - 2 customer-facing, 2 internal-only. We want the blueprint templates to auto-create drafts under a specific internal-only sub-directory. The only way we've found to do this is to make the parent page for that sub-directory the "home page" of the entire space. Doing this messes with the space's overall navigation, and we end up having to use "space shortcut" links to get to the other 3 sub-directories. This is very not ideal.

Does anyone know if there's a setting somewhere within the "Troubleshooting" and "How To" blueprints to define a different default page (NOT a space's "home page") for them to be created under when used from within a JIRA ticket?

Thanks!


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello [@Diana C](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3560340) ! As I understand, you need templates to create the pages under a specific location depending on which ticket started the draft.

Currently, there is no feature that allows this workflow with Templates. However, recently I replied to a thread that had a similar issue at hand. I believe that the information found there can be useful for you, at least to some degree.

Here, take a look:
> * ++**[\[Atlassian Community\] Can't seem to point a template to a specific parent page](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Can-t-seem-to-point-a-template-to-a-specific-parent-page/qaq-p/1305715)**++

Let us hear from you! Looking forward to your reply.

comments: author: Diana C
body: Hi [@Diego](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1188952) ,

Thank you for that link. Unfortunately, it doesn't help to resolve the issue we're running into.

Specifically, we're looking to control exactly where the "create an article" option on tickets creates a new Knowledge Base article:

![KB selection.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/86635iC69B9B4EE1752BE1/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "KB selection.png")

Right now, any time we select "Create an article" from within a ticket, the draft is automatically created under whatever page we specify as the "home page" for our Knowledge Base Confluence Space in the space settings.

Currently, we have the "home page" set up as the parent page for our primary internal documentation sub-directory because that's where we want all new pages to start. This isn't ideal because it makes us have to use "space shortcut" links to be able to get to the other 3 sub-directories we have in the space.

How do I resize the table in cloud?
Asked by Valeryia Savitskaya:

Cloud inserts the table that takes the whole width of the page

![Confluence_NewEditor_AddTable.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/86248iCEB0B4D8D5E76BE6/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Confluence_NewEditor_AddTable.png")

while i need to insert a small table (something that could take 1/3 of the width of the page for example).

I have a page with lots of tables and the size of them resets every time i edit a page. Do you know how to avoid that?


Answers:
author: Elvira Kurti
body: You can restrict the table width by adding a page divider control. You can add the table to one section only and then it will be as wide only as that section.

Sometimes a table gets too wide when adding columns to it and a horizontal scroll bar appears. This does not get fixed when saving the page.

I found that when I move this table to a divided screen portion, it will resize it to the width of that part. I can play with the column width here.

Then I copy the table back to an undivided screen and alas! It is back to normal screen width without the horizontal scroll.


author: Aris Aristidou
body: Voting for this as well. It is very cumbersome/limiting not to be able to resize tables.


author: Ang?lica Luz
body: Hello Valeryia,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

Since the new editor was released, when we add tables on a page there is no option to add a custom width. It's possible to change the size of the columns, but not the entire table.

There is a feature request suggesting the implementation of this ability:

* [Set custom widths in tables](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-67748)

Please, click on vote and watch to receive updates about the feature.

Updating binary data of attachment via REST API produces blank version
Asked by al_visnyai:

Good Day: I have created a Python3 script to manipulate subpages and attachments on a Confluence system. The script can successfully list, create, and delete subpages, and can successfully list, upload, and delete attachments. However, when the script attempts to update the binary data of an attachment, a revision is made but the content of the revision is blank. (The original version retains the original content.)

When the revision is made via the script, the operation shows a status code of 200, and the process appears to work, but the content is blank nevertheless.

Here is the relevant code block:

```
url = 'https://<host>/rest/api/content/' + contentID + '/child/attachment/' + attachmentID + '/data'

headers = {
'Accept': 'application/json',
'X-Atlassian-Token': 'nocheck'
}?

files = {'file': open(tempfile_path + '/' + file_to_copy, 'rb')}

r = requests.post(url, files = files, headers = headers, auth = (username, password))

```

When I use a browser to upload the revised file, the updated content appears on the revision.

Any assistance would be appreciated. Please bear with me, I am quite new to Confluence.

Thank you.


Answers:
author: al_visnyai
body: After further testing and troubleshooting, a coding logic error in the script was discovered.

The following line:

```
files = {'file': open(tempfile_path + '/' + file_to_copy, 'rb')}
```

was not being called as part of the update section; instead, the variable "files" was being referred in the call to upload the file. Since the initial call to the "files" line completed and pointed to the end of the file, the variable was blank and therefore the script updated the post with a "blank" attachment.

Unable to delete / use first created cloud Confluence space
Asked by David.Ryan:

Hi there -

We are a small development company who is trying confluence for the first time - we are currently trying to get used to Jira. We have a space that was created when we first joined, and we are unable to do anything with it - delete it, add permissions etc... It looks as if it is a known bug (CONFCLOUD-68319) - and so I would be incredibly grateful if someone is able to let us know how we can get rid of it so we can recreate one we can use.

Many thanks,

David


Answers:
author: Daniel Eads
body: Hey David, welcome to the Community!

As you've found, the Confluence space created by the onboarding wizard in Free couldn't be deleted for some sites. We fixed this issue for all Confluence sites created since around the start of the year, but it looks like your site was created before the fix was put in place.

Due to how permissions are set up in our Cloud products (we don't have access to your data without your explicit consent through our separate support portal) and that Free sites get help through here on Community, the action we need to take in this particular situation is to get you on a Standard plan. The good news is that you can activate this on your Confluence site now without adding payment information, and you'll be able to choose at the end of the trial if you want to continue on Standard or go back to Free.

The quickest way to get this rolling is going to \<yoursite\>.atlassian.net/admin **or** [admin.atlassian.com](https://admin.atlassian.com) (and then selecting your site). On the **Manage Subscriptions** page, you should see your Confluence site (Jira pictured below) listed as Free and have a link to **Change**:

![image.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/86840i67C28919A484C2E0/image-dimensions/651x290?v=v2 "image.png")

After viewing the differences and selecting Standard, you'll get info confirming that you don't need to add payment details at this point and letting you know when your trial period ends:

![image.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/86841iB6FB564CDD86A211/image-dimensions/419x464?v=v2 "image.png")

Once you're on Confluence Standard, you should be able to modify the permissions on that first space.

**Tip:** using the "Override all permissions" feature at the top will reset the space quickly by just clicking the **Apply** button!

![image.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/86842i22E1BA4ACCE802C6/image-dimensions/513x274?v=v2 "image.png")

At that point, you can choose to delete the space or even use it as a normal space, now that you have admin control over it.

I'm watching this thread - please let me know if you have more questions!

Making links to new pages before the page is made - connection fails
Asked by Skip Sailors:

I have a style of editing wikis that I picked up very long ago. I am editing an existing page and decide that there should be another page supporting it. I make a link to the page in the page I am editing and continue to work on the current page.

Then, I publish the current page and click the link. It brings me to the new page, blank, with a title, as I expect. I edit the new page. I attempt to publish but the system tells me there is a timeout, and that my changes can't be saved.

What am I doing wrong?
