My very first question, do you have ScriptRunner for Confluence?

BEst,

body: Hello [@Fadoua](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/655791) ,

We don't use any external macros or plugin like script runner, as i am new to this company and tool, i am still exploring all corners of admin related configuration and came across something

Navigate to Admin Settings -\> Look \& Feel -\> Custom HTML

There i found some script which is related with custom menu option which might be created by our previous Confluence Admin

Thank you


author: Fadoua

Just be careful as if you miss anything it will take your whole instance down. Be very careful when adding HTML in Confluence

All the best,

Fadoua


author: Rajat Krishnan
body: Hello [@Fadoua](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/655791) ,

Thanks for information, but now my question is what shall I do to add a new option and sub option under it??

Can I add something on top of already existing stuff?

Or do I need to reach Atlassian support team ??

Thank you

Code Syntax Highlighter, how to add custom highlighting in Confluence Cloud?
Asked by M J:

I have Confluence Cloud, and I'm trying with different code blocks to add custom highlighting for a new language. How can I do that with Code Syntax Highlighter (or Better Code Block)?


Answers:
author: Humashankar VJ
body: Hi [@M J](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5592758)

To enhance code display in Confluence, utilize either the Code Syntax Highlighter or Better Code Block apps. Begin by installing your preferred app from the Atlassian Marketplace.

For both apps, adding a code block follows similar steps. When editing a Confluence page, type { to open the macro browser, select the app, and click Insert. Then, choose your programming language from the list; if your language isn't listed, select a similar language's syntax highlighting. Finally, pick a theme that suits your preference.

For advanced customization with the Better Code Block app or to add custom highlighting rules, utilize custom CSS. Navigate to Space Settings, then Look and Feel, and finally Stylesheet. Add your custom CSS rules to style code blocks as needed, including custom syntax highlighting rules if you know the relevant CSS classes.

More information you can refer the below help article:

[Code Syntax Highlighter - Advanced Code Block for Confluence \| Atlassian Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1219685/code-syntax-highlighter-advanced-code-block-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=cloud)

[Insert the code block macro \| Confluence Cloud \| Atlassian Support](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-code-block-macro/)

**Hope this helps - Happy to help further!!**   
**Thank you very much and have a great one!**

How to create page via IFTTT only whenever a field is populated
Asked by Alex Moyer:

I have a IFTTT that creates a page, however I only want to fire this when a certain field is populated. I currently have it filtered like !\[entry.MeetingDate\]:\[empty\]. Any suggestions?


Answers:
author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: ```
!MeetingDate:[empty]
```

or may be even a bit better, catching the change

```
!MeetingDate:[empty] AND hasChanged(MeetingDate):true
```

comments: author: Craig Smith
body: Hey Alex,

Does this work for drop down Confiform fields?, If you dont select anything it classes as empty?

Can you set to fire if the field contains certain words?


author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Yes of course

Can also catch transitions (value changes)

When you create a public space how do you hide links from top menu?
Asked by Emin Devrim Fidan:

When you make a space publicly available it also shows spaces, apps, and templates link on top menu. I was trying to find it but could not find. Someone can guide me on this please ?


Answers:
author: Ahmad Mughal
body: To show the **Spaces** , **Apps** , and **Templates** links on the top menu when making a space publicly available, it depends on the platform or service you're using. Here are general steps:

1. **Check Space Settings:** Go to the settings of the space and look for options related to sharing or public access. Enabling public access might automatically add these links.

2. **Navigation Bar Configuration:** If there's an option to customize the top navigation bar or layout, ensure that **Spaces** , **Apps** , and **Templates** are selected to appear.

3. **Permissions and Visibility:** Make sure you've granted the correct permissions for users to see these links. Some platforms hide them unless the viewer has access.

Which platform are you using? It may help narrow down the specific solution.

comments: author: Emin Devrim Fidan
body: Hi,

Thank you for the reply but it does not help.

I am not using any extra app or platform, it's simply Confluence pages.

Column to show in Page Properties Report - Syntax

What is the syntax/How should I identify the column in order to display the field content in the first case?

body: Hi [@MyC Home](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5592260) ,

Seems that you've came across macro limitations (I know that there can be the same issue if you use special symbols in your headers as well).

We develop the [Table Filter, Charts \& Spreadsheets for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-charts-spreadsheets-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=cloud&utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) app, so, if it happens so that you use it in your company, you may use the following workarounds:

* Wrap your Page Properties Report macro in the [Table Transformer](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/tfac/cloud/table-transformer-42241552.html?utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) macro and list all the columns that you want to see
* Wrap your Page Properties Report macro in the [Table Filter](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/tfac/cloud/table-filter-42239756.html?utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) macro and hide the columns that you don't want to show

Maybe it somehow helps.

My team member cannot find me in workspace
Asked by Yedan.Zhuang:

I have successfully logged into Confluence, but my project members cannot find me in Confluence and therefore cannot grant me permission to view the workspace.


Answers:
author: Manoj Gangwar
body: Hi [@Yedan.Zhuang](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5590655) Welcome to the community!

If your project members cannot find you in Confluence, and thus cannot grant you permission to view the workspace, here are a few troubleshooting steps you can take to resolve the issue:

1. Check Your Confluence License

Ensure that you have a valid Confluence license assigned to your account. Even if you've successfully logged in, you may not appear in the user search if your account isn't licensed for Confluence.

How to check: Ask a Confluence administrator to check if you have a valid Confluence user license assigned to you via the User Management page in Jira/Confluence.

2. Verify User Directory Visibility

Confirm that your user account is visible in the user directory. Sometimes, if there are settings that limit visibility or if you're in an external directory (like LDAP), your account may not show up in searches.

How to check: Ask an admin to check the User Management settings for visibility.

3. Check Permission and Group Assignment

Even if you have access to Confluence, you might not have the necessary group membership to be found or given workspace permissions.

Solution: Ask the admin to ensure you are added to the appropriate groups (e.g., confluence-users or project-specific groups) and given permissions to access the desired space.

4. Check Username/Email

Ensure that your team members are searching for the correct username or email associated with your Confluence account. If your Jira/Confluence account is linked to a different email, that could cause issues in locating you.

Ask them to search by your full email address to ensure they find the correct account.

5. Sync Issues (If Using an External Directory or Atlassian Access)

If your company uses an external directory service (e.g., LDAP, SAML, or Atlassian Access), it's possible that there is a sync issue between the directory and Confluence.

Solution: Request the IT admin or Confluence admin to sync the directory manually and check if your account becomes visible afterward.

6. Invite via Email

If the search is still not yielding results, your team members can invite you directly using your email address. This can be done from the Space Permissions page by clicking Add People and typing your email.

7. Clear Browser Cache/Log Out and Log In

Sometimes logging in for the first time may not fully register your user details across all systems. Try logging out of Confluence, clearing your browser cache, and then logging back in.

If the issue persists, contacting Confluence support or your organization's IT helpdesk (if managed internally) may be necessary for further investigation into your account.

Creating 12 Month Calendar View based on Page Properties
Asked by Lori Meyer:

I created a project template page for my team with specific attributes that are used in page properties and a page-properties report.

I would like to use similar macro - if it exists - to automatically pull page properties data into a 12-month calendar view. Example:

Project page contains page properties as below:

|---------------------------------|------------------------|---------------------|--------------------------|
| **Project Objective Indicator** | **Project Short Name** | **Key Deliverable** | **Key Deliverable Date** |
| .jpg Operational Resilience     | Product Dashboard      | RDL Data View       | January, 2024            |

Looking for a macro/function that can automatically pull the indicator, project short name and key deliverable into the respective deliverable month in the summary 12-month calendar view.

Thanks in advance!


Answers:
author: Stiltsoft support
body: Hi [@Lori Meyer](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5592196) ,

We can suggest trying the app that we develop - [Table Filter, Charts \& Spreadsheets for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-charts-spreadsheets-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=cloud&utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111).

Our macros support macro generated tables (for example, Page Properties Report, Jira Issues, etc.), so, you'll be able to wrap your Page Properties Report macro in the [Pivot Table](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/tfac/cloud/pivot-table-42239659.html?utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) macro and aggregate your data by months.

comments: author: Lori Meyer
body: Thanks for the fast response!

So to confirm - if I have an existing Page Properties Report with the relevant Page Properties from the child pages, I just insert the Pivot Table macro in front of Page Properties Report to do the aggregation by months?

I'll start playing around with this in the interim -and thank you so much for the suggestion!


author: Stiltsoft support
body: Yes, you are right: you place your Page Properties Report macro inside the Pivot Table macro, set the corresponding date format inside the Pivot Table macro settings (for such dates as "January, 2024" it will be "MM, yy", you just type it manually in the corresponding field) and choose to aggregate your data by month.

The same result can be also achieved using the [Table Transformer](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/tfac/cloud/table-transformer-42241552.html?utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) macro. It uses SQL language, so if you prefer to use it, you may try this macro as well.

Yesterday I added an app to Confluence.I can see it in the billing preview, but not in the Apps list

the new app is in our billing preview, and its tile in the store looks like it's added:

I appreciate the help!

PDF exports have miss aligned tables
Asked by Paul Silva:

Hi There,

I'm having issues with the PDF export of pages where the alignment is not correct. I've been reading that the newer PDF export does not support [@page](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2601906) tags and if it does exist it should vert back to the older pdf export. This is causing issues with our teams that send reports to our customers. Is there a fix for this?  

![confluence.jpg](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/347351i379069335F6FAE6B/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "confluence.jpg")


Answers:
author: Dan Breyen
body: Hi [@Paul Silva](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1067854) there are several open issues with exporting pages to PDF, including issues with tables. I took a quick look at [Atlassian's Jira site](https://jira.atlassian.com/secure/Dashboard.jspa) and came across this issue.

Here's the query I used to search. "project = "Confluence Cloud" and text \~ export and text \~ pdf and text \~ "table" and status != Closed"

If you wanted to confirm, you could contact [Atlassian Support](https://support.atlassian.com/contact/?support_type=customer&inquiry_category=#/).

If you find one that fits, feel free to vote for and watch it for updates. If the ticket is different than what I found, feel free to post it, so I can watch and vote for it too.

comments: author: Paul Silva
body: Thanks [@Dan Breyen](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5086375) as I did find a ticket related to the issue. Looking at the ticket it indicated a workaround to remove the custom CSS. Unfortunately there is no doc to take you through the steps to remove the custom CSS in a space. Deleting the code in the PDF Export / PDF stylesheet with in the space in Confluence Cloud doesn't work as it still is pulling from the Global Settings.   

I think I will need to post a question related to it in the community.


author: Kristian Klima
body: Hi [@Paul Silva](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1067854)

Take a look at the [Scroll PDF Exporter](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/7019/scroll-pdf-exporter-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=cloud) app.

a) it produces much better results out of the box compared to the stock PDF exporter

b) you can create PDF export templates which would address your per-space approach

c) to customize the look and feel, you don't need to know CSS. And you can keep the global CSS and use the Scroll app where the stock exporter fails.

Back at CA Technologies, were were using that app to offer PDF export option to customers, taking advantage of customization to fit ultra-wide mainframe tables onto a single page.

Transfering a page from one domain to another
Asked by kevin:

Is it possible to transfer a page (for example) from a space of a domain A to a space of a domain B ?


Answers:
author: Kristian Klima
body: Hi [@kevin](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5591830) and welcome to the Community.

Yes. You have three options:

* copy / paste the page
* export / import the space
* use [Space Sync for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1225377/space-sync-for-confluence-copy-publish-pages-over-sites?tab=overview&hosting=cloud) app - it will allow you to create pages in one space on one site and then sync them to a space in another space on another site.

Disclaimer: I do not work for Ricksoft, I just use their app.


author: Marc - Devoteam
body: Hi [@kevin](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5591830)

If you need to export-import multiple pages/ an entire space, look at the custom XML export and import the pages in the other instance that way.
