You can try the [Handy Tip](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/HMFC/How+to+use+Handy+Tip+macro?src=contextnavpagetreemode) macro (one of the macros bundled in the [Handy Macros](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1214971/handy-macros-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview) app) to create tooltips using rich text.

body: Hi Jyothi,

Another options is the free [Tooltips](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.m20tech.tooltips) add-on. It allows adding tooltips over any content without needing to use macros. Hope that helps!

Migration to local install
Asked by Josh Berger:

Hello,

After reading the following documentation I still have a couple questions:  
<https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/migrating-from-confluence-cloud-to-confluence-server-724765578.html>

[](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/migrating-from-confluence-cloud-to-confluence-server-724765578.html)Am I understanding the documentation correctly in that there is no supported path to migrate from a cloud server to an existing installation of confluence?

Ex: If I wanted to migrate from my cloud 5.9.1 install to an existing 5.8.X install I would have to install a temporary cloud release, wait for 5.9 standalone to be released, upgrade my current 5.8.X install to 5.9 and finally perform an export/import from my cloud release 5.9 to my upgraded standalone 5.9?

Or is there a way to install the latest cloud release and export from it to a 5.8.X standalone?

Does either of the above scenarios change if I just wanted to do a couple space exports rather than a full site backup/restore?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!  


Answers:
author: William Zanchet [Atlassian]
body: Hi Josh,  

We don't have a date of when Confluence 5.9 will be released.  
From your two options, I'd recommend the option 2, as you Cloud instance will be always in front of standalone.

We use our Cloud instance, to test a few things before we release the standalone version for the public.  

Cheers,  
WZ


author: William Zanchet [Atlassian]
body: That's correct, you will have to install a temporary cloud release to be able to import your Cloud content. You won't be able to import in an existing 5.8 install. Our Cloud system will always be in front of the public releases.

Once we release the 5.9 you'll be able to migrate to the standalone version.  

No, even with space export, the Confluence's version will need to match, otherwise we won't be able to import it.  

Cheers,  
WZ

comments: author: Josh Berger
body: Any idea when 5.9 will be released?Also any thoughts on what to do in the meantime? From what I can tell I only have 2 options:1) Wait for 5.9 to be released, upgrade my standalone server and then proceed with original documentation linked above (all while hoping my cloud instance does not get upgraded prior to all this) or2) Export my cloud instance to a temporary cloud release server and then wait for 5.9 to be released before doing an export/import (This however means that once I do the import all the content will be stale unless I am maintaining multiple sites)Thoughts?

Deleted attachments still show in search
Asked by Chris Solgat:

After deleting an attachment from a page and adding a new attachment, the old attachment will still show in the search results. Any ideas why or how to stop this?


Answers:
author: Chris Solgat
body: I have found the answer to this, but I do believe that this is a bug. The attachment still existed in the Space Trash but as soon as I purged it from the Trash, it no longer showed up in the search results. Now I was expecting to find that because I was a System Admin, and therefore by default would have access to the Trash, that was why I could see it in the Search Results. I tested this by having a user that did not have access to the Trash search for the document and he was still able to see it in the search results.


author: Mallmann
body: Hi Chris,

Have you tried to re-index the instance? Here's the guide: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Content+Index+Administration>

In case it doesn't work, we might need to re-index the instance from scratch as described here:

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONFKB/How+to+rebuild+the+content+indexes+from+scratch>

I hope it helps!

Eduardo

comments: author: Chris Solgat
body: I don't think that the re-indexing will help. I have looked into the page history and found a document that was deleted on Aug 12, but still shows up in the search results. The attachment is currently in the trash. We rebuilt the index from scratch on September 6, so we have already tried this.


author: Graham Campbell
body: It's a bug for sure: <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-40833>


author: Amt f?r Informatik Kt.Schwyz
body: Re-indexing doesn't solve the problem . Deleted files show in search. Only after deleting the attachments out of the space trash it disappears from the search. This is a bug.


author: Chris Solgat
body: Deleted my previous comment as I was looking into the wrong page and space.

comments: author: lavitz slambert
body: If this is resolved can you mark your own answer as answered so we can close this post :)?


author: Chris Solgat
body: It's not resolved, I moved my last comment to go under Eduardo's answer. The re-index has not helped. One of the attachments in question was deleted on Aug 12, we rebuilt the index from scratch on September 6. It is still showing in the search results.

confluence username field length

Answers:
author: Rodrigo Girardi Adami
body: Hi Marcus,

Checking for the Confluence MySQL database, I can see the table user_mapping, column username is sized 255 VARCHAR, which probably means a limit of 255 characters for the username.

What happens if I remove confluence-users group from a space?
Asked by Mick Davidson:

Hello,

Sorry, but I've been away from Confluence for a while and am having to re-learn certain things...

I understand what the confluence-users group is and why it exists. At the moment it is getting added by default to new spaces. I want to remove it so that only named groups and individuals can access our spaces.

If I remember correctly, removing the confluence-users group from a space will not affect the space's access/edit permissions for the other groups and their users that have been added to the space.

But am I correct? I could go ahead and test this on our live instance, but I'm concerned about messing up permissions and upsetting our users. :smile:

Cheers.


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Your memory is working fine.

If you remove confluence-users from permissions on space X, then the space will not be open to everyone, it will be limited to the other people and groups that you have left in there (remember to check the "anonymous" access as well). The removal will not affect people's login, or any other spaces.


author: Mick Davidson
body: Nic,

Thank you. And you are still providing a wonderful service, which is why you're still the all-time karma king. :smile:

want to develop a add-on that can create a group inside a space.\
Asked by zolibra:

is there any way to do this?

I saw some java api support this, like createGroup...  


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Groups do not belong to spaces, so no. Unless you mean you want to create some sort of functionality which allows you to build lists of users inside a space and then write something else that uses these lists.

You can write code that would create groups and then add them to space permissions of course.

Answers:
author: Lamer Morales
body: Hi Taha,

I already checked that, all settings are enabled. The weird case is no email notification was sent from all the activities of a specific user. I tested by following the user, that's the only time notifications from that user was received. What else can I check? What could be the reason?

May be while saving page they check "minor change" do not send notification. There could be other reason like users are not in the watchers list, changes profile setting to not receive notification from page etc.

can jira and confluence share a mysql databse?
Asked by Tal Amir:

HI,

We have JIRA running on 2 instances, one for web frontend and one for mysql. we are currently evaluating confulence, which i have installed as a stand alone instance. its connected to JIRA via the navigation link in JIRA and all the JIRA users are accesible in confluence.

whats the best practice when this goes to production? should i install a fresh instance in the same configuration as JIRA is installed (web and db seperated) ?

is it recommanded to have JIRA and confluence share the mysql instance ? meaning :

1 instance for JIRA web

1 instance for confluence web

1 instance for mysql, serving both JIRA and confluence.

Thanks.


Answers:
author: Taha Khanzada
body: Hi Tal,

Create different schema in mysql instance. If you follow the directions from Atlassian, when you run "Create user", it is essentially creating a separate schema. And when you configure the database for Confluence instance, the username/password is the schema name + password.

Refer this document for Creating User and Setting Database [Set up your MySQL database and user](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONF50/Database+Setup+For+MySQL#DatabaseSetupForMySQL-Step4.SetupyourMySQLdatabaseanduser)

Taha


author: Luiz Maia
body: Hello Tal,

The configuration strategy you're planning is fine, it is recommended to have Confluence and JIRA running on different servers, and you can use the same database server for both, but make sure, just like Taha mentioned, that you use different schemas on MySQL for JIRA and Confluence.

Regards,  
LM

Confluence Licencing and Backup-Server
Asked by Carsten Gellert:

Hi All!

Just a Quick question: How is licencing across multiple server handled?

As example: we would have a productive system and a backup system use the same licence for e.g. 100 People, and on both systems the same people are registered in both instances. Is this ok? or will the "backup" people add to our total number of licences? Is there anything more i have to keep in mind?

Kind Regards!


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: You should not use the same licence - you should use your licence for the production machine.

You should then get a "developer" licence (the link is underneath your licence key in my.atlassian) and apply that to the backup. The developer licence is explicitly for dev/test and failover purposes, and it mirrors your production one (same number of users and expiry date)


author: Pilar
body: As example: we would have a productive system and a backup system use the same licence for e.g. 100 People, and on both systems the same people are registered in both instances. Is this ok?

Pilar: Yes ok.

will the "backup" people add to our total number of licences?

Pilar: No, backup server will not add up the licences. Your licences will only count in your production isntance. For backup server, create a developer licence (using my.atlassian,com) URL and you will be fine.

Is there anything more i have to keep in mind?

No, just make sure you apply the developer licence to your backup server. The user tier for your backup server will be the same as your production licence tier (i.e. 100 users on each instance.)

Displaying JIRA project data in Confluence in the form of a line, or bar chart
Asked by alexlwilson:

I'm trying to display data from JIRA in Confluence, but am not sure what the best way is. My goal is for the standard user to be able to create bar and line charts easily, without any knowledge of SQL queries.

Is there already a way to easily do this, or is there a plugin that can do it?

I've used the JIRA Macro charts, but they don't provide enough flexibility.


Answers:
author: Steven F Behnke
body: If you are on Confluence Server, I think the only way to accomplish this would be with **Bob Swift's Advanced Tables** add-on, combining the {table-plus} macro along with a {jira-issues} macro and with the {chart} macro.

Confluence database application- user permission

Dear all,

Would it be possible to find some user permission setting from database by using sql search? For example, we want to check some account can use some space or not ? Thank you.


Answers:
author: Guilherme V.
body: Hi Hsu,

Nic's option is the best way to find the user's permissions, but if you'd like to improve your SQL knowledge, you can use the following plugin:

* [SQL for Confluence (Pro Edition)](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/org.swift.confluence.sql)

You can check the Confluence's table in your database tool manager.

Cheers,


author: Stephen Deutsch
body: If you really need to use it programmatically, you can use the XML-RPC/JSON-RPC API by calling the getPermissionsForUser: <https://developer.atlassian.com/confdev/confluence-rest-api/confluence-xml-rpc-and-soap-apis/remote-confluence-methods#RemoteConfluenceMethods-Permissions.1>

That will tell you if a user can use some space.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: That's a very long winded way of doing the job, as you'd need to build a query that reads the space settings, user tables, and groups.

Do this the easy way - space admin -\> Permissions. Is your user named, or in any groups on the page? Job done.
