Confluence: Mass Upload in File List
Asked by Casey Golden:

I am trying to transfer everything from dropbox into Confluence in the file list. However it gives me the confluence logo, refreshes and uploads one of the 5, or 25, or 85. I need a document storage option for my team.

I can't upload one at a time in the switch. HELP!!!


Answers:
author: Zak Laughton
body: If you're using Confluence server, Webdav is another option to upload multiple files as once. It essentially shows all your Confluence pages as a folder in your local file explorer, and you can add attachments to a page as easily as you would move files into a folder.

For details, see: [Configuring a WebDAV client for Confluence](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/configuring-a-webdav-client-for-confluence-148044.html).


author: AnnWorley
body: Hi Casey, What worked for me was, I added the [attachments macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/attachments-macro-97911315.html) to the the Confluence page and that provided a giant drag and drop field so I downloaded the Dropbox content locally and then just dragged it over and dropped it in the attachments macro.

comments: author: Jim Curran
body: What we're looking for is to download multiple files at once. Dragging a folder produces an error, and dragging multiple files at once only loads the one file.  

Is there a way to upload multiple files at one time?

Copying and pasting Apple Notes should be more straightforward
Asked by Pascal:

Does anyone know how I could make the process of copying and pasting Apple Notes to Confluence pages less of a burden?

For instance copying and pasting indented bullet lists in Apple Notes are pasted into Confluence as plain text with all indentation gone.

Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hi Pascal,

I'm testing this now on macOS Sierra 10.13.4, on the latest version of Google Chrome. I pasted my text with indented bullet points into both the lastest Confluence Server 6.8.1 and Confluence Cloud.

I can confirm that my formatting all remained the same.

Can you tell me what kind of formatting you're using in your notes that is disappearing?

Regards,

Shannon

comments: author: Pascal
body: Hi Shannon,

(sorry for the delay: for some reason I do not receive notifications from the community site, while all notification-settings look OK. Nothing in spam-folder either. Oh well..)

To resume the topic I've started:

My setup is Firefox on macOS Mojave

When I copy a small bullet list with a few items indented from Apple Notes to a page in Confluence Cloud (\*) 1) all indentation is lost and 2) confluence does not recognize the list as a "real bullet list" (bullet list-button is highlighted in the page toolbar).

When I copy a small bullet list with a few items indented from Apple Notes to a page in Confluence Server 6.0.5 (\*\*) 1) the indentation is kept intact (alas, using spaces not tabs) but 2) confluence does not recognize the list as a "real bullet list".

I've included a couple of screenshots below

But OTOH: I've tested this on Confluence Cloud with both Chrome and Safari, and as you stated the problem is not occurring in those browsers. But I have intention to change my default browser, of course.

Tia!

author: Shannon S
body: Hello,

Thank you for that information and apologies for the delay.

I found a similar issue is reported here:

* [CONFCLOUD-61351](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-61351)

It's the same behavior despite not being part of a code block. I've submitted this feedback to the developers regarding the issue.

However, as you may know, we're [working on a new editor](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/confluence-editing-improvements-945107733.html). I've tested this issue on the new editor, and I am no longer able to replicate it. So you can expect a fix in the near future for this problem.

Let me know if you have any questions about that.

How to add timestamps to a video in Widget Connector
Asked by ????????? ??????????:

Hello Support,

Please help me with this issue - I've created a page on which I added tutorials from Youtube using widget connector. <https://confluence.haulmont.com/display/SP/Driver+Application>

I also want to add timestamps to help users to go to particular episodes directly. As a temporary decision I added timestamps as links to youtube timestamps, but is there any way to make these stamps work on the page itself without redirecting to Youtube?


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hi there,

Unfortunately, it's not possible within the application to use timestamps.

I've tagged the marketplace collection in case any of our vendors are aware of how to work around it, but in the meantime, you will want to keep using your current workaround.

Regards,

Shannon

comments: author: mb
body: Hello Shannon, is this on the Roadmap yet? It would be very useful. I know that YouTube supports timestamps in the embed videos (e.g. by iframes), so it should be possible to include this in the macro.

Possibility for mirror system
Asked by Feng Linjie:

We currently have service build up by 4 atlassian products: Confluence, JIRA, Bitbucket and Bamboo.

All those are cloud services on Eur AWS, now we need to build a mirror service on AWS CN. if there possibility for data synchronization?

It shall be both path data synchronize. We have to think about this possibility as we have problem for CN to visit global AWS, there we have big performance problem and policy risk.


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: There are ways to do synchronisations, but the way you go depends on what you're trying to gain from a mirror service.

Could you explain why you "need to build a mirror service"?

comments: author: Feng Linjie
body: Hi.

If a instance build in Eur, it is hard for CN users to access, we have performance issue. hard to visit.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: You will need to improve your connectivity to fix that at the moment.

There is another option being developed, where a Data Centre install will be able to have nodes geographically distant from each other, but it's not there yet. (You could actually do that now, having nodes in two remote places, but it's not supported and people haver reported performance issues with it)

remove line break between macros

Maybe you can tell me which line I should remove?


author: Shannon S
body: Thank you for confirming, Joaquin.

The add-on you're using is different from the one in the example which is not available for Cloud.

However, I tested it with my Cloud instance and the add-on you're using, and it does appear this level of customization is not possible on Cloud. Even if I remove the \<p\> entirely there will remain a space between the two Expand macros.

I hope that clarifies things but do let me know if you have any further questions.

Shannon

Creating Stakeholders filter in Confluence's Page area
Asked by Valerie Williams:

Hello Support,

Is there a way to create a filter that will list only the pages where the person signed in is listed as a stakeholder? If it does limit to the user logged in then the user should be able to toggle this feature on/off.

Is there a way to create a filter where the user could select the name of a person and all of the pages where they are listed as a stakeholder is returned?

Thanks,

Valerie


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hi Valerie,

The Decisions Register is just using the Page Properties report macro. Therefore, you could do the same and filter it like this:

![Screen Shot 2018-04-30 at 3.45.39 PM.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/20933iF270F104C7CF9B3B/image-dimensions/585x365?v=v2 "Screen Shot 2018-04-30 at 3.45.39 PM.png")

In my example, I actually edited the exact macro that was on the decisions register, and simply added a filter "mentioning user". Keep in mind that it won't be fool-proof if there's an instance of the same user being mentioned on the page since Stakeholders are really just mentions, but it should help you filter it a bit more.

You could add this macro to any page you want, really, it doesn't even have to be on the decisions register.

I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any questions.

Is your company running both Confluence and SharePoint?
Asked by Jonathan Smith:

My company is trying to figure out the best collaboration solution and I think there will be a rift between people when it comes to Atlassian vs Microsoft.

We're running both systems in our company: Confluence is mainly used as our wiki and SharePoint for document management. Being a vendor we of course use our own products for integration - you can find them [here in the marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/vendors/95/communardo-products-gmbh).

If you're especially interested in integrating SharePoint Online and Confluence you may want to read [our blog post](https://www.communardo.com/the-new-digital-divide/) to get some further information or simply get in touch with us via [our support portal](https://jira.communardo.de/servicedesk/customer/portal/1) if you have further questions regarding one of our apps.

Creating restricted folders in a space
Asked by Jessica Lubore:

I'm trying to create a folder in a space on Confluence that no one will be able to access unless I give them permission. There is a "restrictions" field during the setup process, but I would have to enter everyone's name in that field in order to restrict access to all of my company's users. Is there a way to simplify this and create a "secret" folder? Thanks!


Answers:
author: Chris Whitehead
body: Hi - I'm not sure how new the feature is but in restrictions now you can restrict by overall groups so if you choose "Viewing and editing restricted" as indicated in this image attached, then you can add in the individuals who DO need access and choose if they can View or Edit.

issues running SSL on port 8443

I have my cert and keystore installed to the keystore.. I changed my base url to be https://atlassian:8443 , however, I'm unable to access the Confluence site at that url.

Login problem on mobile app
Asked by Christian Knell:

Hey everybody,

when i try to login into my site via the android mobile app it doesn't work. The progress circle is shown but no redirect to the confluence page is executed.

So it seems like there is only no redirect, when i am "successfully" logged in.

Any ideas?


Answers:

Can you please tell me how your login is working for your instance? Are you logging in via a proxy or do you go straight via Confluence with no proxy?

author: Shannon S

Thank you for letting me know. Could you let me know if you're logging in via the proxy? If so, this won't work with the mobile app.

Regards,

Shannon


author: Christian Knell
body: Hi Shannon,

i have another Confluence instance which is also running behind a proxy, but the login works there.

Could it be because one instance is running as a subdomain and the other as a context of the main Domain?

confluence.domain.com --\> working  
domain.com/confluence --\> not working

Regards,  
Christian


author: Shannon S
body: Thank you, Christian,

In that case, can you try removing the context path temporarily and just use the domain or a subdomain in your case and see if the problem persists?

If so, we can report a bug.

Regards,

Shannon


author: Christian Knell
body: Sadly this is not possible, because the instance is required to be accessible through the /confluence context. Could it be because of a badly configured certificate? The instance is running on SSL. Are there any error logs i could have a look at?

Sure, you can check the server logs that are listed here:
