Content inside a UI button does not come up in search results
Asked by Nermine Abdulhafiz:

Hello,

We use the UI button macro a lot inside our space pages, ex\> for links to our documentation as it give a nice design! There is, however, an issue! The content inside the macro does not come up in search results.

For example..I have different UI buttons titled with our various documentation. When I search for "migration notes" for example, it did not come up at all in the search results, as the content is inside the macro. Even when placed inside double quotations...This is of course a big issue.

This is obviously a bug....I faced the same issue with other macros as well, such as UI tabs, UI expand, etc. Generally, I noticed this issue with all macros that provide good design!

It seems here, we have to choose between "look and feel" and functionality. Obviously, we need to have both: to be able to use all the nice macros without jeopardizing the search functionality.

Any workaround to avoid this issue??

Thanks a lot!


Answers:
author: David at David Simpson Apps
body: If you're referring to the UI Button macro in Refined Toolkit for Confluence, then yes you're absolutely correct.

The reason that it doesn't work is the way that it's implemented.

Macro parameters do not show up in search, but if the link text was implemented instead as macro body, then that should appear in the search index.

Similarly with the expand macro, to get the link text to appear in the search index, it would likely have to consist of an expand macro enclosing 2 separate nested macros:

* Expand macro (with no macro parameters, but a body)
  * Expand title macro (with no macro parameters, but a body for the link text)
  * Expand body macro (with no macro parameters, but a body for content of the hidden expandable text)

While this would be the best approach for finding in the search index, it is without doubt a more clunky solution for when you add content to the page.

I can see why the macros take their approach - as it's easier to use, but does appear to have drawback.

*One reason that the nested approach won't work on Confluence Cloud is that [nested macros are currently not supported in the new editor (](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-68323)[CONFCLOUD-68323](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-68323)[)](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-68323) - which appears to be quite a work in progress at the moment.*

Making copy does not save draft
Asked by nadine.lowe:

Hi, I hope someone can assist me with this.

I create a copy of a page and am:

author: Zoi Raskou
body: Hello, this is really odd.

I imagine that once you copy the page you see a "Clone of page X" page in the designated space. Does it not allow you to edit the title but allows you to edit the body but discards the changes?   
Could it be that you have some underlying automation?

comments: author: nadine.lowe
body: I clone the page and edit it and make the required changes, except for changes to the Page title, I can remove characters but unable to type them back.

Once done, I close it and then it usually saves in drafts, which it is not doing anymore so nothing is saved and all changes are lost.


author: Zoi Raskou
body: I haven't come across this either. As Stephen suggested it might be worth bringing this to Atlassian's attention.

Create a copy of a page by Scriptrunner event
Asked by JP _AC Bielefeld Leader_:

Hi,

we use Comala Documents (former Workflow) in some Confluence spaces.

We need to create a copy of an approved page when a certain label is set on that page.

I thought about using ScriptRunner as it can handle Comala approval events with a custom event handler.

Anyway, I've no ideas how to copy a page from an existing one using a groovy script. Are there any hints on documentation or example scripts? The build in scripts for ScriptRunner don't help me here.

Any idea on a bit more detailed documentation?

Best regards

JP


Answers:
author: James Conway
body: Hi [@JP _AC Bielefeld Leader_](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1135065)

I can't help with ScriptRunner but I wonder if you have considered the Comala Publishing integration. You can set it up to only publish a page when a label is present, e.g.:

```
{workflow:Different-space publishing with a label}
???{state:Editing|submit=Review}
???{state}
???{state:Review|approved=Published|rejected=Editing}
??????{approval:Review}
???{state}
???{state:Published|update=Editing|final=true}
???{state}
???{trigger:statechanged|state=Published|haslabel=your-label}
??????{publish-page}
???{trigger}
{workflow}
```

If this doesn't work for your use case please do share more details and I'll see if there are any other ways we can help with this.

Kind regards

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

thanks for the idea \& I'm sure this will work, but with Comala Documents being the most expensive app we use, right now we're not able to spend more on Comala Publishing.

I'll check myself for a groovy script solution.

Confluence : Date picker format don't use user or browser settings
Asked by gbluzat:

Hi,

I Have an issue with the date picker, when i insert date with "//" de date format is mm-dd-yyyy despite the user profil settings or th browser settings.

I don't know if there are others settings that influ on the format of the date picker, or maybe i'ts ? bug...

My confcluence server is in 7.0.1

Thx for your help


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello [@gbluzat](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3798408) !

As I understand, you need to set a different arrangement of date for your Date Picker in Confluence.

Currently, this is not possible. The implementation of such a feature has been filed here:
> * ++**[\[Confluence Server\] \[CONFSERVER-55188\] Make the date format for the date picker "//" shortcut configurable](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-55188)**++

There, I was able to locate a possible workaround, which does not work on the latest version of Confluence:
> *If you set the language setting the user profile, it changes the date format of the date picker "//". For example English (US) changes it to mm-dd-yyyy*

The best course of action right now would be to vote and watch the request. Voting helps to increase the issue visibility and watching it will keep you up to date with everything posted there.

If you want to know a little bit more about the date picker, you can check this page:
> * ++**[\[Atlassia Design\] Date Picker](https://atlassian.design/server/components/date-picker/)**++

There is also a request asking for documentation on the date picker to be created:
> * ++**[\[Confluence Server\]\[CONFSERVER-43797\] Add documentation for date picker keyboard shortcut](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-43797)**++

I hope this shines some light on your situation! Looking forward to your reply.

Has anyone tried versioning a space using tabs as different versions of the same page?

If you select this it will provide each version of the page that has been published over time.

comments: author: Effrosyni Gavriilidou
body: Hello Stephen! Thanks for taking an interest.

My versions are supposed to be different releases of a product. I don't prefer Page History because its not very visible for someone that is not very familiar with confluence. Also the versions of the document that are visible there can have mistakes because those pages are published and then approved or changed. Do you know if I can mark some versions as drafts and some as published? Maybe that could help.


author: Ste Wright
body: Hi [@Effrosyni Gavriilidou](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3568429)

Not via Page History.

Aside from using the options available on Confluence - such as:

* **Pages:** Have the current version as the parent page, move each "older" version down to be a child page - perhaps mark their version using a panel?
* **Expand Macro:** Have the current version visible, put older versions into expand macros at the bottom of the page

...or similar, I'd suggest looking to apps from the Marketplace, such as [Scroll Versions](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1210818/scroll-versions-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview) or [Comala Document Management](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/142/comala-document-management?hosting=server&tab=overview)

How can I edit and delete the number of items of an UI Children macro?

So if you don't want one of the pages to appear in the macro, simply move the page elsewhere so it is no longer a child of the given page.

We have a space with more than 4000 pages and we've never faced such a loading problem.

Although in a Page itself, when I created a confiform with 600 rows, its load time was about 60s!

But It doesn't affect other pages within the space.

When will the Export look like the new edit experience
Asked by Felix Herz:

Hi,

I really like the Confluence and the new Editing Experience.  
However I get asked by my boss, how he can export this in order to send it to our customer.

Unfortunately we did not find a appropriate solution. So our company considers moving  
away from confluence.

Is there any way, to get usable exports of confluence pages either to PDF or Word?

Thanks in advance,

Answers:

body: Hi [@Felix Herz](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/839217)

What happens when you use the standard export - select options icon (3-dots in top-right) and choose to export to PDF or Word?

If this isn't sufficient - a few options would be:

* **Share Pages:** Confluence pages look great - on Confluence. Suggest allowing a client to view the page on your Confluence instance as a user and use space / page permissions to restrict what they can see.
* **[External Share for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1220562/external-share-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview):** This app allows you to share an external link to one Confluence page with anyone (including non-users), where they can view the contents of the page. There's a [free version](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1221353/external-share-for-confluence-lite?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) also if you want to try it out.
* [**Scroll PDF Exporter**:](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/7019/scroll-pdf-exporter-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=reviews) Try an app such as Scroll to enhance your PDF exports

how to identify DB of specific parent page and html pages
Asked by Kenji Huang:

As titled, that I need to back up certain pages for specific parent page which also contains html. I noticed that content are saved to different DB and could not identify from DB as they are all named with random numbers.  

Is there any ways that I can identify so I can back up the DB?


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

When considering backups for Confluence, there are a couple recommendations:

* The entire Confluence database should be backed up with native backup tools for whichever DBMS you are using. For example, mysqldump is used to get backups of entire mysql databases at once. Many administrators use a database-agnostic tool like netbackup to take backups from multiple database source on a schedule. Ideally you get a native database backup daily.
* Backups from Confluence itself can be done for an entire space at a time. [Details on exporting are here](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/export-content-to-word-pdf-html-and-xml-139475.html#ExportContenttoWord,PDF,HTMLandXML-ExportmultiplepagestoHTML,XML,orPDF), and as a quick mention I'll say that XML is what you'll want if you just want to maintain a history of the pages, while PDF and HTML can be easily read outside of Confluence.

Beyond what you might consider common practice or built-in tooling for backups, [there are some add-ons on the marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?hosting=server&product=confluence&query=export) which offer additional export options, such as automatically exporting a set of pages on a schedule or using a custom PDF template for exports. It's worth looking through these add-ons to see what the capabilities are even if your basic need is captured by the native backup tools.

Cheers,
