Asked by Kedar:

Hi,

i want to know if we can add release version and dates from JIRA to a panel inside confluence dynamically?

My requirement to show very highlevel of releases and their dates in the confluence home page of my application, along with other information on the page.

Have you seen the 'JIRA Road Map' macro? Go into the Macro browser or start typing \`{jira road map}\` into your Confluence editor.

This lets you show a specified number of releases and related information.

Automatic sorting in Confluence tables
Asked by Federica Viani:

Is there any way to avoid/hide automatic table sorting?


Answers:
author: Thomas Schlegel
body: Hi [@Federica Viani](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3207884)

a simple workaround is:

add a new row to your table and merge two cells. This will disable the table-sort-function for the user.

body: Thanks a lot for the fast answer. It works...! :)


author: Thomas Schlegel
body: You're welcome, [@Federica Viani](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3207884)

And please accept the answer, if you think, your question is answered. Other users with a similar question can find anwers easier, if they are accepted. Thank you.


author: Deanna White
body: Another quick resolution is to remove the header from the chart. If you need a header view, you can fill the row with the grey color and bold the wording.

For all macros working with spaces
Asked by Hartmut Jacobi:

Confluence spaces can have whitespace characters. All macros working on spaces as a selection criteria seem to fail on space names containing whitespaces.

Also it would be useful to have and - or relationships between multiple space names.

Would love to help you.

As you can see here, sometimes the plain space name is replaced by the internal one, which then works.


author: Fabienne Gerhard
body: Hi [@Hartmut Jacobi](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3207330) - sorry for not answering earlier.

Ok - I was really confused about the SpaceKey first - that's a pretty long SpaceKey

Let's get the facts together:

* Your spacekey: ASPICEGlossary
* You are using Labels List Macro - where the key works but is replaced by an internal 'key' department0264 (this macro is not the Content by Label btw) which is really strange
* Content Report Table does not work with the SpaceKey ASPICEGlossary

Now my next questions/steps would be:

* Did you try department0264 for Content Report Table macro?
* What do you want to do with the macro?
* Are you sure this is the right spacekey? (*because department0264 seems like current spacekey in Label list macro - when there is no spacekey given current space will be taken - so this seems like an evidence to me for a wrong spacekey ASPICEGlossary)*

Hope this may help you and to hear from you.

How to fix the page title top in every scrolled page view?
Asked by YongDuk Kim:

In confluence, contents are getting longer.

In every views scrolling down, can I see the current page title on top or bottom?


Answers:
author: Sayed Bares [ServiceRocket]
body: Hi [@YongDuk Kim](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1006305)

Installing a third party plugin is indeed the way to go and composition tabs \& page layout is the perfect candidate, To set up the macros you might find the following documentations helpful:

* Composition tabs \& Page layout Documentation : <https://docs.servicerocket.com/composition/macro-reference>
* Example : <https://docs.servicerocket.com/composition/user-guide/creating-tabs-with-composition-cloud>

Thanks


author: Dominic Lagger
body: Hi [@YongDuk Kim](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1006305)

I don't think there is a solution for that.

You see the actual page in the navigation or in the URL. If the page is too long, i would rather suggest you split the pages in sub pages.

Hope this helps.

comments: author: YongDuk Kim
body: Hi [@Dominic Lagger](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/601600)

Thank for your reply.

If there is not solution for my post, I will use "composition tabs \& page layout" apps.

(It is free)

It allow to tab page into many groups.

Why can't I see a list of my favorite pages?
Asked by Brenda Strech:

I have tried the solution in post <https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Can-I-view-all-of-my-favorite-pages/qaq-p/327833>

But I cannot find where to add a custom macro. The other solution using the label 'my:favorite' doesn't work either.

Without this, I don't see why we have a favorite star on confluence pages.


Answers:
author: Manon Soubies-Camy
body: Hi [@Brenda Strech](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2903082)

You can't add user macros in Confluence Cloud, that's why you couldn't find the related feature :)

Here's how to find you favorite pages in Confluence Cloud:

1. From the home page, click on *Your work*
2. Go to the *Saved for later* tab (favorite pages = saved for later)

Hope this helps,

comments: author: Brenda Strech
body: Manon,

Thank you for the pointer to how to get to favorites. However, as it stands now, making a page a favorite isn't that useful since it takes so many clicks to get to them.

I hope that Atlassian improves this in the future.

author: Manon Soubies-Camy
body: I understand this is not optimal, you can vote and watch this related feature request: [Show Favourites in the navigation bar](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-13905).

As a workaround, you could ask your Confluence admin to [edit the welcome message](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/editing-the-site-welcome-message-724765520.html) and add a link like "View my favorite pages" pointing to this URL: <https://yoursitename.atlassian.net/wiki/my/saved-for-later>

Hope this helps!

Hello,

I have moved both Jira and Confluence to the different server between A to B.

DB is the same with the different IP.

(Jira 7.12.1, Confluence 6.12.1, postgre database)

In case of Jira, it was successful. everything is working fine.

However, after I have copied confluence folder from A to B,

Login always failed with CAPTCHA screen.

I have proceeded those

The new confluence editor
Asked by ian_wermerling:

The cloud instance I use at work seems to use the new confluence editor when I created a team space.  

But my personal instance of confluence cloud uses the old editor when I create a new team space.  

Is there a setting where I can choose to use the new editor or not?

Because the new editor feels like it has issues.

Or can anyone explain how the two cloud instances are behaving differently?

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/confluence-editing-improvements-945107733.html> also has some notes about how to opt in for the new editor.

unsure if you're able to opt out though - on my phone so difficult to search

comments: author: John Fenger
body: There is unfortunately appears to be no way to opt out once they have rolled you on to the new editor. We migrated to the cloud and are stuck with it and have to copy old pages that use the old editor if we want to use full width on pages.

Honestly the biggest issue is the **width of the pages** for us, which creates cascading problems with page properties macros getting squished etc... there are some nice stuff in it but its hard to get past the narrow width which frustrates everyone to no end.

Confluence - WYSIWYG... not so much :(
Asked by Paul Lu:

I downloaded "Status" macro source code and managed to compile the code, trying to enhance functionalities of the macro.

However, I noticed that the status block doesn't look the same during view mode vs edit mode (page source code included):

View Mode:

![View Mode.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/55034i1E9E38F64C4DDDC0/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "View Mode.png")

\<p\>\<span class="conf-macro output-inline" data-hasbody="false" data-macro-name="tutorial-confluence-macro-demo" style="background: #ee4424; color: white; font: 10px Helvetica Neue; font-weight: bold; padding: 4px 12px; -moz-border-radius:3px; -webkit-border-radius: 3px; display: inline-block; text-align:center; min-width:60px;"\>Blocker\</span\>\</p\>

Edit Mode:

![Edit Mode.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/55033iE32AB75747C64208/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Edit Mode.png")

\<p\>\<img class="editor-inline-macro" height="18" width="88" src="/confluence/plugins/servlet/status-macro/placeholder?title=Blocker\&amp;colour=Red" data-macro-name="tutorial-confluence-macro-demo" data-macro-parameters="colour=Red\|title=Blocker" data-macro-schema-version="1" data-macro-id="bee24b00-847c-44ef-9ce1-d5183f9098b7" data-mce-selected="1"\>\</p\>

Seems like in edit mode, the status block is turned into images, however, I cannot figure out where this happens, and how to fine-tune how the image is generated, so currently it looks a bit funny.

Will be great if someone can provide some help thanks!

Paul


Answers:
author: Paul Lu
body: Somehow I found the issue.

During edit mode, the editor uses servlet to generate "image" for the status macro instead of using css.

Upon parsing the parameters "?colour=Red\&title=Blocker" to the status-macro/placeholder servlet, if the data-macro-name is anything other than "status", it will render improperly.

However, I am not sure where I should access this placeholder servlet source code for modification so any data-macro-name would render properly.

comments: author: Dominic Lagger
body: Hi [@Paul Lu](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3196749)

I'm interessted. Why is this minimal change between *view* and *edit* so important for you?

There are lots of macros, which aren't wysiwyg for example info, note, warning...


author: Paul Lu
body: Well, I am picky about how the look and feel will be like in the final viewing mode, and if the edit mode presentation is slightly off I can live with it.

However, as you can see, the font is very stretched, and the box is wider than it should be, so it will be very hard for me during edit mode to design the final look of the page I am trying to create, this is why.

Of course going back and forth between Viewing \& Editing mode can resolve this issue, but it is a work-around, not a solution.

I guess some people are ok with mediocracy but not me, sorry.

Can I restore a productive Backup to a eval-Installation
Asked by JJ Scherer:

Hi,

My clients Server crashed and is dead.

We have the Backup of the MS SQL-Database and the XML-Backup of confluance. (Version 6.2.). Client has lost his license key.. it was managed in Confluence witch crashed.

I insalled a new server with Sql and a new installation of confluende (same Version) and figured I could just "Resstore" into the new Confluance installation.

But after resore In the wizard -\> System crashs

Restore after Evaluation Installation -\> Can't login with Admin pw. Not the one from Eval-installation nor the one from Procuktive system.

Looks to me like it is NOT using SQL although I had configured the connection. I can stop SQL and can sill login onto the EVAL-Insatllation (I made a copy before restore-Test and now whent back to that version).

We just need to get into the proc Data to get the Licence key. Then I can setup confluance again with that and re-Establich the DB-Link.. Or just work on the Eval System for a few days...that would helpt the client allot (and take some stress from me).

Thank you for any input!

I believe that you enter the wrong password for the admin user. Your admin user should be from the production system.

You can try to reset the admin password:

comments: author: JJ Scherer
body: Thank you Alexey,

i had already reset the passwords for my user and the admin and I still could not inter.

Finally I found a log showing that the DB-Login was not working. Don't know why it would not just capture that error and show it on the login page.. guessing if the DB-Link doesn't work then it tries some lokal authentification.

I set the DB-User-PW and then it worked.. but it tuck me hours to find this error.

If I update and change my corporate email, will that break my User access in Atlassian?
Asked by Miguel Gonzalez:

My IT manager needs to adjust my email (shorter) for compliance with the preset defaults to access an important server. When we do this, and update the info here in Atlassian (Confluence and Jira) will that BREAK any access to these two resources?


Answers:
author: Boris MBOUMEHANG
body: Hi Miguel,

Normally no. In fact, normally, once your atlassian account is active, your email address will only be used for email notifications.

So, you can shorten your email address as you plan, and then modify the email address configured on your atlassian profile (if you are using Atlassian Access, you will need to modify it in your Organization's managed account settings: [admin.atlassian.com](https://admin.atlassian.com)).

But, to confirm that, I advise you to contact the Atlassian support through: <https://support.atlassian.com/contact/>.

Hope it helps.

Is there a list of "Can use" users?
Asked by Tim Deardeuff:

I need to send an email to all users of confluence. There are 2400+ users in the users list but the licensing information says I only have 23 licensed users. Doing research I see that licensed users must have the "can use" global permission but I can't find a column in any logical place in the database tables nor any reference to it in the application. I'm a dba guy mostly so looking in the database is the easiest thing for me but if there's a better, preferred method I'd be happy to use that.


Answers:
author: JP _AC Bielefeld Leader_
body: Hm, with 2400+ users are you using an AD/LDAP authentication? Check the users which are members of the confluence-users group. By default these are licensed unless you configured another group.

Best

comments: author: Tim Deardeuff
body: Thank you Jan-Peter. Yes, we are using LDAP authentication. I looked at the Confluence-Users and Confluence-Administrators and the total count minus disabled users came to the total the license page shows. So that was the answer. Thanks for your response.
