Workaround to import spaces from newer version to older version of confluence
Asked by P:

Is there an available workaround to importing spaces from a newer version of confluence to an older version?

I have spaces in confluence version 7.10.2

That I need to import into a confluence on version 6.13.9

From the documentation I've read so far, I know backwards compatibility is not supported.

I was hoping someone could share a potential workaround.

Or definitively tell me that what I'm trying to accomplish is impossible without just upgrading the older version. We do not have an active license to do so.


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: Atlassian says no. I have had some success going from one major version to another in that version say 6.13 to 6.12. I am not sure this will be the case going from 7 to 6. Is all you have to do is edit the export version in the xml (the xml reports the export version - use a text editor to change it to the target version) You will be doing it at your own risk and I would recommend doing it on a test instance first to see if it works.

Confluence automation with Python
Asked by Valerii Soloninka:

Hello Community!  

I want to automate reporting with Python API.  
Our Security Operations Center team using confluence as platform to post reports after each shift and we are doing it manually.

Is there any possibility to automate it, using Python API?

Example:

Extract data from SIEM -\> Make it as JSON object -\> Use Python API and Confluence Page Template -\> Create Page with required numbers to fill fields.  

![image.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/134832i6B3644443C37F1E8/image-dimensions/445x80?v=v2 "image.png")

Different host and different subscription type
Asked by Gianni Minicozzi:

Hi everyone,

We are using Jira Software Server (250 users) and we would like to buy Confluence Cloud (50 users) and I have 2 questions about it:

1. Is it possible to connect Jira Software Server with Confluence Cloud even if they have a different hosting solution, Jira is self-hosted (Server licence) and Confluence is in Cloud (Cloud license)?

2. Is it possible to have a different payment subscription? In particular, we are paying Jira Software Server with an annual subscription and we would like to pay Confluence Cloud with a monthly subscription for the initial period.

Thank you all!

How to create a page from a template into a particular child structure
Asked by serge calderara:

Dear all,

We have created a page template with some default label.

The page can be store in different parent structure depending on the case.

Actually when using the template, the page gets created at the root parent, then user need to move it then to proper child structure

Question :  
Is there a way at the use of the template to specify where the page will be store by selecting the Parent space ?

Regards

body: Hi [@serge calderara](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3385932)

Possibly it is enough that you position yourself on the page or the section of your structure where you want to include the new page and once there, you create the page with the template.

If it is not this doubt, comment and try to help you more

In fact my confluence KB is organize in Parent like :

How to Article  
Troubleshooting  
Incident

At the root of each I have a small description and a button shortcut to create directly the proper template  

![RHzJCP6sJc.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/134824iEFCE5A8E6DAB5054/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "RHzJCP6sJc.png")

But then in Incident Parent page I have an organization of pages by product.  
Then that would mean I need to add this Create short cut button at the root of each parent, which is a possible solution but no so logical as if I need to add 15 new product I have to repeat that button in same way

Any other solution would be great but I doubt there are as could not find it

Anonymous user is adding users to the confluence-users group
Asked by Veronika Uherkov?:

Hi,

we are currently struggling with quite an interesting error which blocks our work in Confluence. It all has started on 15th March 2021.

We have 25 licenses and we are exceeding the number every day again and again due to some activity causing this action: Anonymous user is adding Users to the confluence-users group.

It is not connected to any activity from the audit log. And we cannot delete unnecessary users every day.

Any idea how to fix it, please?

Thanks!

Fixed header in Page Properties Report Makro?
Asked by Jens Gerlach:

We use heavily the page properties for creating certain reports out of that. The infomation is collected from about 10 different rooms. And works fine. The only bad things is that the header of this report is not fixed. So if you scroll down your report you will not see the column titles anymore. What makes such a report hard to read since you have to remember whats in... Would be great to have a solution for that.


Answers:
author: Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}
body: Hi [@Jens Gerlach](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1799887) ,

Check if you have the [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview) app installed for your instance.

Its Table Filter macro allows you to use the [freezing first N rows](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/Sorting%2C+freezing+and+other+table+viewing+options#Sorting,freezingandothertableviewingoptions-FreezefirstNrows/columns) feature, it works with the Page Properties Report macro perfectly well.

comments: author: Jens Gerlach
body: Hi [@Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1464746)

thanks for this hint. That's of course the championship solution :-) Can table filter be licenced only for parts of the organsiation? For example for my team (around 70 person) but not for the whole company using our on prem confluence (about 10-20 thousands I guess...)?


author: Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}
body: Hi [@Jens Gerlach](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1799887) ,

The app is meant to replace Excel in Confluence (you'll be able to filter manually created and macro generated tables (and the Page Properties Report macro as well), create pivots, count totals and perform advanced calculations in your tables as well as visualize your aggregated data and use conditional formatting). So, such simple features as freezing or pagination only come as additional bonus to improve user experience with tables in Confluence.

As we sell the app via the Atlassian Marketplace, its license tier should match your Confluence tier. But we are always open to different solutions and ready to discuss possible discounts.

So, I can suggest booking a [live demo](https://calendly.com/nparamonova/table-filter-and-charts-demo?month=2021-03) where we'll be able to show you main cases related to our Table Filter and Charts for Confluence app and discuss further steps. And you may also apply to [our support](https://jsd.stiltsoft.com/servicedesk/customer/portal/2/user/login?destination=portal%2F2), but it seems that the first option will be better as you are new to the app.

can I force read users to authenticate with needing a license?
Asked by Lenny Dauw:

Answers:
author: Matt Reiner [K15t]
body: Hi [@Lenny Dauw](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4308977)

My team makes the Scroll Viewport app, which let's you publish your Confluence Content as a help center: [https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211636/scroll-viewport-for-confluence?hosting=cloud\&tab=overview](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211636/scroll-viewport-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview)

Right now, the help site it creates is publicly accessable on the internet but we're working on a new authentication feature that would protect the content behind a login. Those people logging in will not need Confluence users.

If you're interested, I can see if we have room in the beta so you can test it out and give us feedback.

Let me know.

Allowing AD users to view content in Confluence without license
Asked by Vinzent Decker:

Hello,

we are using Confluence in connection with our AD. Only 10 Users are licensed. We created a page in which there are contents only a specific usergroup from our AD should be allowed to see. Is there a way to do this without purchasing more licenses? I know about the anonymous access but you can't control the permissions for those.

Thanks for your help.


Answers:
author: Fabio Racobaldo _Herzum_
body: Hi [@Vinzent Decker](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4176050) ,

anonyous access is the only way to implement this feature. Keep in mind that all users, not only users in AD could see the content.

For the anonymous access you can set just VIEW permission. Please take a look to the following article <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/make-a-space-public-829076202.html>

Hope this helps,

E-mail Notifications for updates to card title/description
Asked by Yogesh Jaipurkar:

While using the watch feature on Trello, we observed that there are no e-mail notifications generated for updates to the card title or description fields. The notifications are provided for other actions such as user comments, attachments, changes to the due dates etc.

However, due to lack of notifications to the vital fields such as title and description, we are facing challenges at times.

Could somebody explain if there is any reason for NOT providing any notifications for updates to a card's title or description? Is there any way to enable it?

Thanks,

Yogesh


Answers:
author: Matthew N
body: Hi Yogesh

I don't have a reason or explanation why Title/Description changes don't trigger notification, and there's not a way to get those notifications like you do for other changes directly through Trello. There is, however, a workaround using Butlerbot automation. Essentially, you can command the bot to make a comment on a card any time there are changes to the title or description. There's several variations as well.

To add custom automation using Butlerbot, follow these steps:

1. Add Butlerbot to your board here: <https://www.butlerfortrello.com/dashboard.html>
   1. -- A new list will be created titled "Butler"
2. Add a new card to the Butler list, using the following text
   1. *when the title of a card changes, post comment "{username} changed the title of this card from '{textbefore}' to '{textafter}' on {date} at {time}*
   2. *when the description of a card is changed, post comment "@{username} changed the description on this card from '{textbefore}' to '{textafter}' on {date} at {time}*
3. You can do the same for tracking label changes or due date removals
   1. *when a label is removed from a card, post comment "@{username} removed the {labelcolor} label from this card on {date} at {time}"*
   2. *when a due date is deleted, post comment "{username} removed a due date!*

Sending alert to all members

I am pretty sure this will have been asked before but could not find anything specifically from recent posts.

Is there a way I can just send an email, chat, or alert to all my board members? So I want to make them aware of something but it's not card specific.

Would be pretty useful to be able to do this within Trello rather than via a power up etc.

Auto sort Trello cards in Chrome and iOS app
Asked by Jill Osborne:

I just started using Trello and tried to turn on auto-sorting of cards within boards, in Chrome and in the iOS app. I thought this would be straightforward as it's pretty basic functionality. I want to sort the cards within some boards by due date and others alphabetically by card title.

Seems you can't do this in the app at all, and in Chrome only by using the Ultimello plugin - which does work but the sorted order of cards doesn't replicate to the display in the iOS app.

Am I missing something here? This should be easy to do. Thanks!


Answers:
author: Matthew N
body: Hey Jill

Using the Chrome Extension will only change the view for Chrome your Chrome Browser that is running the extension.

For the cards to sort and be replicated in the iOS app, you can incorporate Butlerbot automation on each of the boards you want to sort.

To add custom automation using Butlerbot, follow these steps:

1) Add Butlerbot to your board here: <https://www.butlerfortrello.com/dashboard.html>  
-- A new list will be created titled "Butler"  
2) You'll add your commands as a new card to the Butler list, each command being a new card in that list

First, add a card with the title ***For each list, sort the list by title*** This will sort all of your lists that exist. Once the sorting is complete, you can remove this card because you won't need it again. You won't need it again because the next command will keep your lists sorted every time you add a new card. That command is ***when a card is added to list "{\*}", sort the list by title.***

If you're sorting by due date, however, you don't need Butler. You can just sort those on your list options.

author: Jill Osborne
body: Hi Matthew, thanks for your response. All of that worked perfectly, except that after adding a new card, you need to re-sort the cards in the browser by due date, in order for the new sort order to appear in the app. It would be nice if that happened automatically. Butler does that when sorting by title.
