Is there a setting to disable the Edit with button for Attached file in confluence?
Asked by Dilgeet Badial:

With version 6.11 of confluence we get the Edit with button for attached files. Since you need to install the Companion app for it, we would like to disable that option. Is there some settings for the plugin which can be turned off?


Answers:
author: Dharma Ramos
body: I have not done it myself, but saw this when reviewing release notes.

Disable file editing  
System Administrators can remove the edit files option from their Confluence site. This means the 'Edit with' button won't appear when users open a file in preview.

To disable the edit files option in Confluence:

1. Go to  
   \> Add-ons
2. From the drop-down menu, select System.
3. Click Confluence Previews from the displayed list.
4. Click the enabled modules link.
5. Hover on the Companion edit button module and click Disable.

Layout of the Atlassian Knowledge Base
Asked by Lucas Ornelas:

What is the layout used in the Atlassin knowledge base, is Confluence's own standard?

Example: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirasoftwareserver077/jira-applications-overview-945534733.html>

I am referring to the layout of the columns and formatting of the text, we used confluence in my company, but I did not find any layout similar to the one above.

Agile Wallboard Gadget macro - https error
Asked by Christa Meck:

Hi there. We're using:

* [Atlassian Confluence](http://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence) 5.6.5 (on prem)
* Atlassian JIRA [Project Management Software](https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira) (v7.10.1#710002-sha1:6efc396) (server)

I followed the instructions <https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-add-a-jira-kanban-board-to-a-confluence-page-959798689.html> to add the Agile Wallboard Gadget macro to our Confluence. It didn't seem to be loading at all so I turned on a console window and captured this error:

Answers:
author: Daniel Eads
body: Hi Christa!

I'm glad to hear you're upgrading soon, as [we released security advisories recently](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-articles/Confluence-CVEs-and-common-questions/ba-p/1062634) about the version of Confluence you currently have running.

As for the error, it looks like Confluence (or at least the gadget) is trying to load itself over HTTP even though you're accessing it via HTTPS. The most common cause of this is the base URL setting in Confluence having **http** in the front instead of **https** . You can double-check this value by going to the System Information page in administration. [We've got a more detailed how-to if the System Information page doesn't sound familiar](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/configuring-the-server-base-url-148592.html).

Give that a double-check and let me know how it goes!

Cheers,  
Daniel
Confluence Download Versions
Asked by Jonathan Smith:

Currently we are on Confluence Server 6.6.1. We are looking to upgrade to the latest version.

Can someone explain the version order on the download archives page? <https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/download-archives>

Not sure why it jumps from 6.6.13 to 6.12.4, then back to 6.7.1...

We are on Linux 64 bit so I know to install that content, but I am not sure the difference between Linux Installer **6.7.1** and **6.14.3**.

Thanks,

Jonathan


Answers:
author: Daniel Eads
body: Hey Jonathan,

The 6.7.1 release shouldn't be at the top of the page. We're looking into why that is currently.

The most recent releases are at the top of the page outside of the 6.7.1 fluke. The absolute most recent version as of today is 6.15.2, which you can get from the [non-archive download page](https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/download).

As for 6.6.13 - the 6.6.x line is tagged as an [Enterprise Release](https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/download) which is still receiving bugfixes and patches. This is similar to the LTS release in other software like Ubuntu. Since you are already on a 6.6 version, you could reasonably upgrade to 6.6.13 to get the latest patches without seeing significant changes in the API or feature capabilities.

Hope that helps!

Cheers,  
Daniel

Strike though does not display on @username
Asked by Jonathan Smith:

Use case: User wants to track attendees so they mark down everyone's [@username](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1677494) on the page. The people who don't show get strike though on their name.

When saving and viewing in read mode, the strike though does not display on the user name. Is this just ... normal?

![a.jpg](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/52191i2992C1659200474A/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "a.jpg")

Assumption is some formatting won't work on function items like system date // and [@username](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1677494).

Can someone please verify this?

Sync Spaces Between Two Servers
Asked by Roei Kessler:

Hi,

We are planing on publishing a KB on our Confluence server with Jira ServiceDesk but we don't want to expose our Confluence server to the internet.

Our plan is to create a new instance for Confluence and we want to sync only the relevant KB spaces to the server that will be in our DMZ.

Is there a way to do this? I did see an old [post](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Marketplace-Apps-questions/how-to-sync-the-space-between-two-confluence-server/qaq-p/356455) that requires to purchase an add-on for this. I'm trying to see if there's a free solution for this.

Thanks


Answers:
author: Roei Kessler
body: Because the page is loading from within the Service desk and doesn't require me to publish the confluence server we won't be installing a second server after all

Thanks for the recommendation

comments: author: Christoph Schmitz
body: Hi, we have the same problem. How did you achieve yout goal?

I mean, we also run an internal confluence and a public available service desk but our problem is, that when you integrate both instances and search for a KB article, the article gets found also with a preview.

But as soon as you click on it to open the KB article in the servicedesk portal popup, the client tries to open the article via internet and therefore runs into a timeout because the confluence is ofc not reachable via internet.

Changing firewall settings for that particular space in confluence is also not a solution for us so I'm very interested in how you achieved the communication. And maybe you can tell which addon you tried to use as a workaround/ backup plan before you maged to get it working?

Best regards  
Christoph


author: Bill Bailey
body: There is a free solution, but that is to:

1. Export each space you want to copy from the destination server
2. Delete any matching spaces in the destination server
3. Restore the space exports to the destination server

So that is a pain to do more than a few times. So the paid plugin is still the best route to go. Or you have to write a script to achieve the same function (again, takes time to develop).

Confluence not working after brach CVE-2019-3395
Asked by Eliran E:

Hi,

So my server got breached after the last vulnerability you've released:

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-security-advisory-2019-03-20-966660264.html>

it showed the same signs and everything.

After a long time cleaning up the server and ending the botnet usage on my server i am trying to lunch the confluence but am not able to.

it just isn't accessible, not from within the server nor outside.

i need your assistance here please,

please tell me how to proceed.

Best,

Eliran.


Answers:
author: Daniel Eads
body: Hey Eliran,

I wrote an article with the most common payload we've seen and steps others have taken to clean up from the attack. [You can read it here, and it links to additional resources that will be useful](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-articles/Confluence-CVEs-and-common-questions/ba-p/1062634).

If after reading the article and going through the steps Confluence still isn't launching, here's what would be useful to know:

1. Any processes running under the *confluence* user (the article talks about how to check this with the **top** command)
2. Output in the Confluence application log - this is located in \<confluence-home\>/logs/atlassian-confluence.log - just the bits since the last time you tried to start Confluence would be helpful

Thanks, hoping to help get your instance back up and running soon!

Upgrading confluence on an evaluation license
Asked by Ashutosh Chitnis:

Hi,

We are running an older version of Confluence Server. Our support license expired recently, but I would like to upgrade to the latest version of confluence using an evaluation license so we get all the latest patches and then buy the new support license. Is that possible? Are there any limitations to doing so?

Thanks,

Ashutosh


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

Why not just get the new licence now? Then you'll be supported during your upgrade, as well as not having to mess around with licences.

Create Page from Template using link
Asked by dwfa:

I would like to a create page that contains a link to a bunch of child pages; however, these child pages are not yet created. They will be created over time. I wish to populate the parent page with these links and when the link is clicked the child page is created. Now I would like the child page to be created from a template with a pre-defined title and with a specific parent page.

I have looked at create from template macro and it does not do what I want. I have not found anything else.

Any ideas?


Answers:
author: Davin Studer
body: In the old editor you can create stub links that when clicked will create a new page. To create the stub link you type the open square bracket, then the title the page the stub link will link to, and then the closing square bracket. So, it would be something like this ...

```
[My new page that does not yet exist]
```

This only works with the old editor. I don't think this feature exists in the new fabric editor. Also, this only creates the page ... it won't fill it with any templated info. I know of no way to do both.

Watcher notification prior to access restriction
Asked by Anh Thu Trinh:

Confluence Team Calendars not showing JIRA Releases
Asked by Neal Culiner:

I'm using JIRA 8.1.0 and Confluence 6.15.2 self hosted on Windows Server 2012 R2. A version or two ago something changed and we're no longer seeing JIRA releases in Team Calendars.

I need to add a section and same content to around 100 pages of my wiki space
Asked by Swetha:

We define processes for our organization. Any change in the process needs to reflect in all the pages and many a times, it is about bulk changes of the same content in all the 100 pages. For example, if there is a new page, add a section that includes the URL to this page in all 100 pages. Doing it manually is very cumbersome, is there an easier way to do these kind of bulk updates?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: No, there's no way to do bulk edits like that.

If you have stuff that needs to go to many pages in the future, consider adding it as a section or block of content that uses the {include} macro to draw in the common text that might need updating in the future.

comments: author: Swetha
body: Processes are continuously evolving, it is difficult to predict what changes come in the future. Whatever change comes in needs to be accommodated in the existing content. I thought about templates, but realized that they are also forward looking.

Thanks for the response.
