Stop and Start Confluence Service under 2012 Windows Server 64 bits
Asked by Bruno Montmasson:

Hi,

I try to set up an https access to Confluence under 2012 Windows Server 64 bits.

I use the Atlassian doc (Running Confluence Over SSL or HTTPS) but I have a problem in Step 4, when I do restart the service. The service don't start because the process take mote time.

Do you have any idea ?

Thanks

Bruno


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: You'll need to explain more of what step 4 is and what you're seeing it do if you want our help. We don't have enough information here. Also, might be handy to point at the doc you are following.

Problems with Portrait-Aspect Photos
Asked by Ian Underwood / EyeTack:

I've got a few problems with photos in Confluence and I'm curious if anyone else has figured them out.

The first is when I use a gallery to build the photo album, portrait photos don't maintain their original aspect ratio. When I click the photo, it's then rotated to what I'd expect to see in a landscape photograph.

Is this expected behavior, or is there some sort of configuration switch I can change?


Answers:
author: Milo Test
body: The problem should only be happening if the image has *instructions* to be rotated, but is not actually rotated. This is a bit confusing as when you hold the camera sideways, it marks the image as needing to be rotated when viewed, but that "mark" is not always read by software correctly.

Open a problematic image in Photoshop (or whatever), rotate it the way you want, select it all and copy it, create a new doc, past the image and save. See if the Gallery macro handles it better.

Confluence Admin not able to add macro to a restricted page
Asked by Jonathan Bohlmann:

I have two issues that I believe are related. We have several spaces with pages that we are not able to see via WebDAV but we can via the browser. Some of those same pages, as an confluence-admin, I am not able to edit the page. I get the error:  

Not Permitted {#toc-hId-1899278592}

How to create confluence admin without give admin rights in Jira?
Asked by Stefan R?ser:

I want to give admin rights to a user in confluence cloud without giving him admin rights in Jira.

The group "confluence-administrators" is not available, looks like this is due to being on a cloud instance.

Is there a way to solve this issue?

Just create the groups

We use both Confluence and JIRA on cloud and manage our users through Crowd

We have groups for confluence-admin, jira-admin and crowd-admin, adding people as necessary depending on what role they need


author: Stefan R?ser
body: Hi Ian,

thank you for your help.  
The problem was that the group didn't had the right on confluence at all. But now I've fixed it...


author: Stefan R?ser
body: Hi Ian,

thanks for your answer.

But when I create my own group, how do I grant confluence admin rights to it?  
I'm not talking about Space admin. I need "global" admin rights. Similar to the group "admins".

comments: author: Robbie Robinson
body: Hi Stefan

In Confluence Administration there is a Global Permission Section

You can then add your group there and give them the relevant permissions you need to

Stop Email Notifications
Asked by Angelo Ortega:

Hi,

I got a new Confluence Cloud instance, added some users and started putting in my documentation.

However, every user gets an Email for every little change - although they have never subscribed to these pages.

I need to turn this off - People are complaining already.

What I did till now:

* I logged in as every User and changed their settings to not get any emails on content changed events.
  * User Settings-\> Email
* I turned off "Send Email by Default" in the General Settings
* I changed to "Weekly" notification Emails in General Settings

I tried to turn off the responsible modules - but this is not possible in the cloud instance.

Thank you in advance.


Answers:
author: cptBarbosa
body: Hi Angelo, the settings you changed are correct and they should not keep receiving emails with that.

I have one last thing to try before you open a ticket with Atlassian support, go to confluence configuration -\> Recommended Update Emails, and uncheck send by default.

If that doesn't work I would suggest you to open a ticket with Atlassian support.

Hope it helps. :smile:

comments: author: Samuel Torres

upgrade confluence trial to full
Asked by Steve Ashton:

I use confluence at work for team collaboration and would love to take advantage of its functionality at home as well.

If I install a trial version of confluence - without a sql DB - can I pay the $10 for my license and continue to use it without having to install sql and create a sql DB?

My tech skills don't stretch so far as to try to do the full server install.

Help?

Steve


Answers:
author: Steve Ashton
body: Thanks Nic. The mention of the work install was just a reference to my trust in the system. I simply want to use the same product at home to gather all my hints and tips together for future use, so after paying for a single license, could I continue to use it on the local DB with up to about 250 articles in total over time with minimal risk?

I do daily backups which should provide a good DB copy if anything falls over.

Any other info regarding the DB failures?

Appreciate the fast response too, thank you

Steve


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: No, because you can't point two Confluence installations at the same database.

You can pay the $10 and install your own system at home, but you will need a database for it and it will be separate to your work one. (It ships with an internal database, so you don't strictly need one, but that internal one is not suitable for production, as it can fail catastrophically without warning)

Answers:

table
Create an index (or list or table) of select Confluence pages.
Asked by Ronald Graff:

I have created a number (\~300) of pages (call them A-pages) using custom template. The custom template has several (\~20) fields that are user enterable.

* I want to create a page (call it a B-page) that lists all of the A-pages that meet certain criteria. (This list is like a SharePoint list. It is somewhat like an index page)
* The criteria could be a tag, or one of the user enterable fields.
* The B-page could be a table where each row of the table corresponds to one A-page, and each column represents a field (one of the user enterable ones) on the A-page
* I need the ability to sort all of the rows in the table based on the content of one of the fields.
* It is desirable to export this table to a spreadsheet but I don't think it is doable.

I found the following links that talk about this, but I don't fully understand them.

<https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/195720/>

<https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/232924/sharepoint-vs-confluence-ability-to-create-lists>

Is this type of function built in to Confluence? Or does it require an application (or macro) to do?

Thanks

Ron


Answers:
author: Milo Test
body: I do this using the Page Properties and Page Properties Report macros. These can be added to a template so that the data entered is reportable. The drawback is that the table can only be two columns vertical.

In a different case, I do this by putting a table in the Excerpt macro and label the pages. Then I can use the Content by Label macro with the Excerpt Display option. The drawback is that each table is separated.

Confluence Error - Content Report Table Macro
Asked by Kian Pariwar:

Hi,

I created a confluence page which includes a button for creating a form based on a template and, in order to maintain an overview, I also added the macro "content report table".

Before and after creating a page via the button, the "content report table" worked fine.

But after creating a second page via the button, the following error message is shown instead of the "content report table":  
"Error rendering macro 'content-report-table' : null value in entry: title=null"

Any idea what is going wrong?

Regards

Kian


Answers:
author: Kian Pariwar
body: I think I fixed this issue:

I used a different label for the macro to look for and it works.

Before, i was using the label "feedback" and "feedback_form" which caused the error message. Now with the label "feedbacks" it seems to work.

very strange behaviour...

remove resolved comments
Asked by Bob Kennedy:

Is there a way to remove resolved comments from a page?


Answers:
author: Rodney Hughes
body: I assume you mean resolved "in-line" comments rather than the general page comments at the bottom. of the page.

I agree with John.

One of THE benefits of a collaborative Knowledge Management System is credibility of the information i..e traceability of how the information was developed such as the Page History information.

Also if someone has "today" used the in-line comments to query a word, phrase, sentence ... , then that gets resolved and removed, someone else may have the same query and you have to resolve it again.


author: Jobin Kuruvilla [Adaptavist]
body: Unfortunately, there is no way to do it at this moment. And I think that is a good think because you need to preserve the resolved comments for auditing. It gives you the full picture of what happened.

You can raise a feature request to add an option to delete the resolved comments if you think it adds value to your workflow.
How can I centre align the Livesearch macro?
Asked by James Scott:

Does anyone know how I can centre align the Livesearch macro?

I've tried lots of different things in the Stylesheet, the source editor and the Custom HTML. None are working. Is it even possible to align this macro? At the moment it just drags itself over to the left and looks ridiculous on a nicely formatted page where everything is central.


Answers:
author: James Scott
body: Okay, I was able to fix this. If anyone else is interested, I opened the Confluence Source Editor **\< \>** and created a new div class (call it whatever you want - I called mine "livesearch-centrealign":

\<ac:structured-macro ac:macro-id="1809e123-21d9-49e8-a2bc-278724a5bd6d" ac:name="livesearch" ac:schema-version="1"\>

\<ri:space ri:space-key="010000"/\>  
\</ac:parameter\>  
\<ac:parameter ac:name="placeholder"\>Can't find what you're looking for?\</ac:parameter\>  
\</ac:structured-macro\>  
**\</div\>**

Then under **Space Tools** \>**Look and Feel** \> **Stylesheet**:

.livesearch-centeralign {  
margin: 0px auto;  
display: inline-block;  
}

with-additional {  
height:auto;  
padding-top:3px;  
padding-bottom:3px;  
text-align: left;  
}

```

author: Sandy Johnson
body: Have you tried using the section and column macros. You could create 3 columns, leave the left and right columns blank and put your search in the center. You can set the sizes for the column widths by percentages so you can make the center column small enough to just fit the search (say that was 20%) and then split the remaining percent between the left and right columns (in this example 40% each)
