How to show content from Sharepoint to Confluence
Asked by A D:

Dear Community,

In my company we have Sharepoint and Confluence ( both in servers) . I am trying to find a way on how to show the contents of a sharepoint folder (f.x a word file) within confluence.  
I just want to show and not edit the file. If the file gets updated in the source (sharepoint) then confluence will get updated as well.

I found some different solutions that provide communication between the two platforms  
[Marketplace Apps](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?hosting=dataCenter&product=confluence&query=sharepoint)  
but they are a bit expensive plus I do not want all the features they provide.

Are there any other more simple and less expensive solution to use ?

Is there anyone who have used the iframe macro together with sharepoint and has some insights ?   
(<https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-iframe-macro/>)

Thanks,  
Alexandros

In case you want to improve the search in Confluence for your users, "[iFinder Confluence Search](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1220508/ifinder-confluence-search?hosting=server&tab=overview)" can also cover your Sharepoint use case.

* This enterprise search technology not only provides a highly improved search in Confluence. It can connect to other data sources \& applications such as SharePoint, File Share, M365, and many more (additional costs).
* With one search query you get precise results from all connected data sources.
* Changes to the content are immediately taken into account dynamically.
* The included "iFinder Search Macro" can display a predefined list of results directly on a Confluence page. E.g. files/content from one or more SharePoint areas.

These articles may help you:

* [iFinder Confluence Search](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Marketplace-Apps-Integrations/Enterprise-Search-for-Confluence/ba-p/1584172)

User macro to save state of checkboxes checked and perform operation on checked ones?
Asked by Ashish Das:

Hi, I am facing issues in persisting state of checkboxes for a macro on page save. I have tried using tasklist but it isn't allowing me to edit the macro by ticking checkboxes. My macro is dynamic which is creating list of checkboxes for categories coming from backend, but I am not able to save checkboxes on page save and persist its state on reopening the page for edit. Following snapshot of macro on edit and page save:![image.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/212324i49FF4A54DEE27DD3/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "image.png")![image.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/212325i87C1D22B94858C43/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "image.png")

User permission not updating when changed
Asked by Matt Curran:

First, please confirm that they can see the space. Can be checked from space settings -\> permissions.

Then, check all parent pages of this sub-page. Because permissions apply from top to bottom. Example; they can not see the sub-page if parent page is restricted.

author: Jack Brickey
body: Hi [@Rajeev Jha](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5014346) , actually I have no idea. To be clear, I don't work for Atlassian. I did a quick check in the documentation but didn't find anything that explained this. Basically, if you are on Free and want to stay on that tier you need to consider not storing any large data files as a general practice. Free is really limited in those regards.

Why is my confluence site space used by unknown users even though there is restricted access?
Asked by melanie brehmer:

I have created a space for my department to use as a team space. I have restricted the access to this space and I have restricted the access to pages that I have added to the space. However the space now seems to be used by other users that should not have access to the space and creating pages making the space very cluttered.


Answers:
author: Nicolai Sibler
body: Hi [@melanie brehmer](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5014258) , welcome to the community!

Could you please provide more details on how you manage the space permissions? To be more precise: If you have granted access only to the users (or group) that belong to your team and have not granted any access to Anonymous Users, your space should be locked the way you want. (The term *Anonymous Access* on the bottom of the space permissions page is misleading. It means access to all users not defined by group or user permissions.)

Kind regards,

Nicolai


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: One way to get "unknown user" is to delete someone from your user directory - Confluence will display "unknown user" when there's no name it can look up (this is one reason we recommend disabling leavers, rather than deleting their accounts)

That only applies for looking at the history though - a deleted user can't get in to continue making changes.

The other way to get unknown user is being discussed by Nicolai already, I've nothing to add to that conversation!

Header and Footer not showing while exporting to PDF
Asked by Adimi:

I'd like to set a custom header and footer to load every time I export to PDF (company logo) but whatever I write in the Header, Footer or Title doesn't show up at all on the exported PDF file (Even regular text lines). Can somebody tell me what I'm missing here? I've tried to use the guide on custom PDF exports with HTML code/CSS from these links but nothing worked for me:

Can we automate to restart confluence application when it is down
Asked by Sai Gangadhar:

Is there any way to automate the confluence applications to restart automatically when ever it is down.


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Yes, you do that at the operating system level though - you need to set up something that can monitor it and issue a restart command.

However, this would be "plastering over the cracks". It's the wrong thing to do.

If your service is stopping without you telling it to, then you should be investigating that, with a view to fixing the thing that is breaking it. As a service, Confluence is built to be run constantly, only having being stopped for upgrades and maintenance. It should not be stopping without a human telling it to.

comments: author: Sai Gangadhar
body: Hi [@Nic Brough -Adaptavist-](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/781454) ,

Is there any resources related to it so that I can refer? Already have monitor setup using AppDynamics for monitoring the confluence and machine.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: You will need to look to how your operating system starts or restarts services.

But you should not be doing that, you need to look at why Confluence is stopping.

How to change cell width and height in navmap macro
Asked by Anselmo:

The navmap macro offers parameters for cell width and cell height, but it doesn't perfom it. It just stays with the standard size, which leads to unreadable wrapped page titles on the far too small tiles. I have vesion 7.4.17 available.


Answers:

View full list of people who reacted to a comment
Asked by umberto_nicoletti:

Up until June 2022 when I hovered over a comment reaction, for example a thumbs up, I was able to click on the number and get the full list of people who reacted.

It seems this is now (August 2022) no longer possible. Clicking the number just triggers the reaction. And hovering just gets the me first 5.

Is there some other way to access the full list of people who reacted to a comment? Liking a comment was a quick and effective way to signal that one was interested into following up on a particular topic and we used it that way. In the future I'll just ask to reply to the comment

http2 for Confluence with reverse proxy?
Asked by Charlie Misonne:

Hi Community!

Did anyone manage to configure http2 for Confluence (and Jira)?

I know Confluence does not support http2 on tomcat directly: [CONFSERVER-58307](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-58307)  
So I thought to put an apache reverse proxy in front of it but on the [mod_proxy_http2 page](https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_proxy_http2.html) I'm reading:

```
it does not provide any downgrades to HTTP/1.1. This means that the backend needs to support HTTP/2 because HTTP/1.1 will not be used instead.
```

<br />

Does this mean there is no way to achieve this with apache?


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Charlie Misonne](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/502263)

Looking at the documentation I believe you are correct. If you have http2 setup on the proxy then the application must support it as well.

* Security - if only the reaction count showed (without user details) would disabling still be important?
* Notifications on certain spaces?

Look forward to hearing from you - thanks!

comments: author: Jennifer Choban
body: Hi [@Shaziya Tambawala](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3858701) ,

We find reactions useful internally. We give a thumbs up to acknowledge that we've read a page, etc. However, we have our public-facing product documentation in Confluence and I think it looks a bit sloppy and unprofessional to have reactions on those pages.

Thanks for working on this.


author: Helen Gosper
body: [@Shaziya Tambawala](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3858701) my use case is identical to [@Jennifer Choban](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4332091)'s above, thanks.


author: JP
body: It would be helpful to disable them because we don't want them on a given page. There does not need to be another reason. What is wrong with you? Can't you trust your customer enough to give them what they ask for. Is there a reason it needs to be there? Other then you seem to think is does?

We could do this on the server version with an HTML script. That's not supported in the cloud. Please fix this.


author: Jennifer Choban
body: It really should be. It makes sense that we would want to use reactions internally, but wouldn't want them on customer-facing documents.


author: Patrick Joerg
body: We would also love that feature.

When searching, this was the only spot to find.

[@Shaziya Tambawala](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3858701) Maybe a Jira Issue for "gathering interest"?


author: Lizzie Burns
body: another use case is that if i want to apply a custom footer to my space, it appears below the reactions, labels, comments. this reduces visibility of my custom footer. in order to get it to appear above those elements, i have to manually add it to every page in my space.
