How can I search for both a tag and some arbitrary text on this site?
Asked by chadd:

If I click on a tag for say "jira" there's no where to enter search text. If I search for some text, there's no where that I can choose tags to limit the results.


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello there Chad!

You are right, there is no search field when a label is selected. When you click a label, Confluence will show the content related to that label.

If you need to search for specific content within a label, you can use this in Confluence searchbar:
> * labelText:

After labelText: you need to insert the desired label and then finish the search. You can check more information about it here:

**[Use Labels to organize your content \| Search by label](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/use-labels-to-organize-your-content-724764874.html#UseLabelstoOrganizeyourContent-Searchbylabel)**

**[Confluence search syntax](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/confluence-search-syntax-724765423.html#ConfluenceSearchSyntax-Searchingforlabels)**

An example of search would be this:
> labelText:myLabel My Page

Where myLabel is the label I need and My Page is the name of the content that I am looking for.

Let us know about your findings. Looking forward to your reply!

Can multiple people edit a Confluence Page like Google Sheets?
Asked by Muthu Vellayan:

The community provided answer is about 5 years old. Have any progress been made past the "merge conflict" problem?

This would be very valuable as we are sharing meeting agenda during the meeting. Would love to have the attendees input just show up on the page.

We are now doing that with Google Sheets but would like to switch to Confluence.

Thanks in advance for the response.

can't start Confluence
Asked by hello dev:

I run Confluence and Postgresql by docker

yesterday, the Postgresql is restart ,then the Confluence hint
> Database is being updated by another Confluence instance

then I restart the Postgresql ,but I get
> startup process (PID 22) was terminated by signal 6: Aborted
>
> PANIC: could not locate a valid checkpoint record  
>
then I exec

```
pg_resetwal -f /var/lib/postgresql/data
```

then I restart Postgresql

Prompt when starting the database
> The database subdirectory "base/20148" is missing.
>
> database "confluence" does not exist

I think at the moment I only have confluence datadir

What should I do to recover my data or resart confluence?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Something has destroyed part of your database. You will need to recover your system from a backup.

If you were taking database backups with postgres, you should use one of those to recreate the database. If not, then hopefully you did not turn off the local default file backups - check \<confluence home\>/backups and /export for them. With both options, you'll need to create a new postgres database from scratch (and hopefully work out what damaged the old one so you can prevent it happening again)


author: Kiran Panduga {Appfire}
body: Hi [@hello dev](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2611172) ,

I guess, the docker container should be mapped to your local filesystem so that the database and confluence directories exist even after Postgres or Confluence restarts.

sample command:

docker run -d -P -name randomname -v /tmp/localfolder:/volumepath imageName

In your case, it appears that mapping the container on to the local folder was not in place and due to which when you restart the Postgres, it refreshed the database entirely and will have to start again from scratch.

Thanks,

Kiran.

comments: author: hello dev
body: Hi Kiran

I used the -v option, but now after I restart, the database files are not available.

author: Kiran Panduga {Appfire}
body: Hi [@hello dev](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2611172) ,

Can you get into the Postgres Database and check if the database **confluence** and the associated tables exist ? If not, you will have to create the new database and then map to your local filesystem, so that the data exist even after docker container restart.

Thanks,

Kiran.

body: the database confluence is exist

I use \\l can show the confluence,but I can't open the database,the log print

Curl command to POST a folder to confluence
Asked by Sateesh Ayyagari:

Is there a way to post a folder to a confluence page? I am using allure reports which output a folder containing html and its dependent image and css files. I am using this curl command to post a file.

curl -v -S -u \<user_name\>:\<pwd\> -X POST -H "X-Atlassian-Token: no-check" -F "file=\<html_file\>" -F "comment=\<comment\>" "\<link\>"

The attachments marco in confluence is allowing only files to be uploaded. Wondering if there is another macro to upload a folder?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: The attachments macro accepts only files because there are no directories in Confluence - you just have to upload each file in your folders to Confluence.
How to create stakeholder list
Asked by Nalaka Sapumal Bandara Sooriarachchi Biyanwilage Don:

I want to maintain stakeholder list including external stakeholders. Do i just have to add them as users ?


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Nalaka,

I assume you're referring to the template where you have to @ mention all of your stakeholders?

You can only mention users with a paid Confluence license. If you don't want them to have access to your Confluence instance, you could also type out the name in text in case the user doesn't have a license, but note this won't be able to link anywhere, such as a user profile.

Let me know if that answers your question.

Confiform Tableview Merger (display value of Key)
Asked by Andre T_:

I have 2 forms which use the same field as the "key" to organize my data.

The Field type is Smart Classifier.

The issue I am running into is that the key values from the first form get populated as they should, but the values from the second form get displayed as UUID (reference to Key Field in the first Form). Is there any way to get the value of the key field displayed in the TableView merger for second form as well?![Capture.JPG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/48194i231BA5513D8199C4/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Capture.JPG")


Answers:

body: It looks like you are trying to merge the tables / forms that have a different structure and that is why the result looks like this.

You need a **common key** to successfully merge the data from different forms in TableViewMerger

Page Properties Report only returns one record
Asked by Mustafa Ozturk:

All,

I have a simple requirement and thought this should be easy to do with Confluence. But, it turns out that it may actually not be possible.

I have two pages with the same page property macro. The table inside the page property macro has 3 columns and 5 rows. This is the same on both pages.

I have then a summary page where I have setup the Page Properties Report macro. The result I like to see are 10 records retrieved from the two pages (5 records from each page). However, i only see two records, one record for each page.

Am I doing something wrong or is this not possible?

Thanks

Mustafa


Answers:
author: Mustafa Ozturk
body: Thanks for your answer JP. Is there any other mechanism to pull multiple records from a child page to a parent page?

comments: author: JP _AC Bielefeld Leader_
body: How do you define a record? A row in a table?

You can use the excerpt macro \& the excerpt include marco on the parent page. You could use more than one page property macro on a child page \& have more than one page property report on a parent page...


author: Mustafa Ozturk
body: JB, by the way, I am living in Bielefeld as well. Working for adidas as Director Solution Architecture :-).

Back to my problem:

Yes, a record is a row in a table. The table has the same layout across all "child" pages. Now, on the "parent page", I want to have a table (same layout as the tables on the child pages) and have all records from the "child pages" included. Below picture for clarification. I tried with excerpt / excerpt include but so for no luck. Will try again.

![Confluence.JPG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/48200iC18EAF7E9DF0396A/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Confluence.JPG")


author: JP _AC Bielefeld Leader_
body: Hi Mustafa,

the rows in the table on your 2 pages are mapped to columns in the page property report.

The first column of the table defines the property names, the second column the property value. The property name is then a column on the property report page. Each page is only listed once with the linked page title in the first column of the report. All other columns to be displayed are defined in the page property report marco.

So the result is correct: 2 pages = 2 rows.

You wrote, that the table inside your page property macro has 3 columns. Never tried this and as I recall only the first two columns (Property name \& property value column) are used.

Best

JP

Include latest blog post into a page
Asked by Jan:

Hello Community :)

I am looking for a way to slide the latest blog posts on a page. I am using the 'Content Slider' Macro for the slide effect. This contains several 'Content Slider Entry' Macros. In each macro you can place the objects for the slider. The 'Include Page' macro nested inside works fine, also with blog posts. Now I want to not slide specific blog posts, but the latest ones from different spaces.

This is for a big screen in a central place where news should be displayed without user interaction.

Any idea how to do this? I am not good in coding, this is why I am trying to use the apps that I have :) Thanks for any advice


Answers:
author: Thomas Bowskill
body: Hi [@Jan](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/680405)

I think what you are looking for is best achieved via an add-on (app). We have blog post sliders, but that is via the [RefinedTheme](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/15231/refined-theme-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview) application. The native Confluence Blog Post macro didn't present content the way we wanted.

I'm sure there is probably a way to achieve what you want without additional applications, but probably nothing quite as convenient as an add-on


author: Fabienne Gerhard
body: Hi [@Jan](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/680405)

we are using Lively Blog Post [https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1213057/lively-blogs-for-confluence?hosting=server\&tab=overview](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1213057/lively-blogs-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview) - you van easily limit shown Blog Post and sort them by different filters.


author: Andrea Mendez
body: Hi Jan!  
You could use the blog post macro and limit to a specific time that you want to show, for example only the ones created the last 48h.  
Hope this helps :)

Adding Comments field to Jira Macro in Confluence
Asked by Kathy Barton:

Hi everyone! I'm trying to create a Jira Macro table in Confluence that includes the Comments but that field isn't available in Columns to Display. Does anyone know a way to do this?

you might want to check an app/addon from the marketplace: IssuePublisher is able to list the comments of an issue using the Jira Field Value macro for Confluence.

How to move one space to another space on different server
Asked by Bhushan Chitre:

We have confluence server A with internal and public spaces. But we want to keep this server private behind firewall and purchase another confluence server B hosted publicly. We would like to make changes in server A to its public space but have server B show those pages in public space.  

Is their way to acheive this? Or does confluence support export as html feature to export public space?


Answers:
author: Bill Bailey
body: Well if you are willing to go to a commercial solution, you can create a workflow using Comala workflows combined with their [comala-workflows-remote-publishing](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/42115/comala-workflows-remote-publishing?hosting=server&tab=overview)

Then you can create a simple to complex workflow to handle the publishing task.

I have used this solution in the past for a client where we had an Intranet behind a firewall, then publish public documents to an external Confluence instance.

comments: author: Bhushan Chitre
body: [@Bill Bailey](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/502089)Do you need to install Comala on source server confluence or does it need to run on both server A \& B confluence?


author: Bill Bailey
body: In the past, it was only needed in the source server. Another advantage is that the destination (customer server), does not need a lot of plugins, so cheaper.


author: Bhushan Chitre

Thanks for your help.


author: Brant Schroeder
body: You can do space to space exports to keep them synced. Or you could use the API to push content changes to server B. Both would work as options.

comments: author: Bhushan Chitre

author: Brant Schroeder
body: You are correct that the API does not support exports. What you would want to do is export the space and then once the space has been restored on B you could use the **API to push content changes** to server B.

Can I edit templates to auto locate under a specific page? (Like Meeting Notes)
Asked by Kevin Kowitski:

I have a created a template in a space but I am finding that users are dropping that page where ever they happen to be located before creating it. The users are not navigating to the proper parent page before creating these children.

I would like to have the template setup so that it automatically falls underneath a specific parent. This appears to already be possible as the "Meeting Notes" work in this fashion. If I am on the main page and select to make a meeting note it will automatically be created underneath the meeting notes section. How do I mimic this?


Answers:
author: Andrea Mendez
body: Hi Kevin!  
You can only achieve this by creating a blueprint and that can only be done by programming this behavior, you can't do it from Confluence, another way would be to add a page being the father of this template that you added and in that parent page add the Create from template macro and if users create from there that page will always be the parent of the pages created from there, but that won't stop the users from creating from the create button and it will locate as it is working now.

comments: author: Kevin Kowitski
body: Excellent! Thank you. Yes, the process is relatively new, so I suspect if I tell them they need to access the template by clicking the macro button, they will accept that to be true. Plus it saves them a fraction of time.

How to report on Content Options
Asked by Areg Vrtanesyan _Work_:

I am wondering if anyone was able to use ServiceRocket Reporting with Scaffolding Content Options.

I have Space A with a pages describing some source information.

Also I have a Space B providing another information which has a List Data with Content Options in it referring to Space A pages.

Now I want to create a report on Space A pages where they are used in Space B.

Some kind of backward link for Space A pages "Where I am used in?"


Answers:
author: Iman Hashemi
body: Hi [@Areg Vrtanesyan _Work_](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/656927),

You will need to access the content from Space A directly using [Content Reporter](https://docs.servicerocket.com/reporting/macro-reference/content-reporter) and specifying the Space Key set to Space A.

![Content Reporter.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/48254i3A14EB78558C1081/image-dimensions/367x223?v=v2 "Content Reporter.png")

In this example [here](https://docs.servicerocket.com/reporting/user-guides/recipes/pages/including-all-child-pages), content reporter is used to list all child pages from a page. By setting the parameter 'Spaces' in Content Reporter to Space A key, you will be able to report on Space A contents. You can find the Storage Format of the example on the link above.

I hope this example would be helpful to get you started and let us know if you have any further questions.  

Regards,  
Iman

you need a license for every, user who is able to **login** into your pages.

If you make your Confluence space visible to the **public** (everyone, without login, not just your customers), you don't need a license for them.
