false search results
Asked by Stefan Tanner:

I don't get the right result if I search for the second part of a word. for example for a \*plan, see the folowing screenshot:

FalseSearchResult2.JPG

I also don't get any result if I search like this:

FalseSearchResult3.JPG

but i get a result if i search like this, so the content exists:

FalseSearchResult3.JPG

or like this:

okSearchResult.JPG

Why i don't get any result with the first and the second request? ...they would be also very important?

Thx in advance and regards.

Stefan

P.S.: I have the OnDemandVersion 5.5.4.

Unfortunately Confluence is not able to search for a word with a wildcard at the beginning. A big disadvantage IMHO!!


author: Christina Schantin [Communardo]
body: @Stefan Tanner Since Atlassian have been released Confluence 5.2 \*Search should be possible. See documentation for that:

So it is a bug.

..but anyway, you anserwed my question. THX! it's not a bug or something else, confluence is not able to search for a word with a wildcard at the beginning. it's a big disadvantage and somehow strage that it (still) exists...

Answers:
author: Tiago Comasseto
body: Hi Mik, judging by this stack trace, it's possible that you're facing this [bug](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-28250). You may want to attempt to upgrade to version 5.1.x or later. Additional to this, we've seen this message with openJDK, you may want to make sure that Confluence is running on a [supported JAVA version](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/conf51/Supported+Platforms).

I hope it helps.

I want to export all questions from our ondemand atlassian wiki so we can curate, archive or delete and replace
Asked by stephanie brooking:


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Have a look at the "backups" section in admin - it exports everything to an xml file you can load into another Confluence.

I'm not sure that dumping a copy out is that much use for curating and deleting though - you're still going to need to do that in the existing system.

recurring configuration with "Public Annoucement Service".
Asked by Michael Regelin:

Hello,

I'm evaluating your plugin.

It is pretty simple and really usefull especially the "more info" link.

I tried to use the group annoucment but it appears that it dont work.

We use an **open-ldap** to synchronise group. So do I have to use confluence named group or dn names ?

**And the special question is:**

Have you thought about adding a **recurring** option to allow to display the same message every day from 10 pm to 11pm ?

thanks for your support.

Atlassian University is Free, but Atlassian ID is required?
Asked by Kristof Vandermeersch:

In this Blog <http://blogs.atlassian.com/2014/09/atlassian-university-free/> , @Sebastian Chevrolet \[Atlassian\] said in the comments that you don't need an Atlassian ID to access the click-through trainings. Indeed, that was the case.

But since 15 September 2014 it seems that we do need an Atlassian ID to be able to access all Atlassian University click-through trainings? When not logged in, this message appears:

*Paid Area To view this walk-through you must log in and be part of a network that has purchased University. Purchase University\>\>*

Did something change? Atlassian ID required to access the (free) Atlassian University from now on?

confluence tls
Asked by Alicia Pena:

How do I configure TLS authentication for confluence mail? JIRA has a button to click to use TLS authentication with outlook365 and port 587 and mail from JIRA works fine. We've been using confluence for awhile now but unfortunately we can't get any email from confluence (which seriously hinders our colaberation). I don't want to use the JNDI, gmail or other workarounds that I've found via google searches and I haven't found the answer in Atlassian documentation yet etiher. I need to use SMTP protocol with our office365 port587 using TLS security, just as JIRA does.

Appreciate the help.

Alicia


Answers:
author: Alicia Pena
body: I found the answer!

- <http://www.briantist.com/how-to/configure-confluence-smtp-tls-jndi-office-365-relay/>

Basically you bring down confluence, modify the server.xml file to include office365 info, then bring up confluence and point the gui mail configuration to use JNDI: java:comp/env/mail/office365

It works now.

Confluence and JIRA in Chrome @ referencing people
Asked by Paul DeSousa:

In Confluence and Jira in Chrome when I try to reference a user with @ it only works with their email and not their name

So for example for one user jk whose name is Jeff, under Firefox I can type "@" and then Jeff and find him in the search list. Under Chrome "J" shows him and then "Je" he disappears from the search list. Is this a known Chrome thing?


Answers:
author: Steven F Behnke
body: I see JIRA is affected as well. Does your IT department have your team on a specific version of Chrome?


author: Steven F Behnke
body: weird


author: Paul DeSousa
body: OK this is weird in looking up the version in about I notice it said there is one more step to finish the upgrade, which I clicked to go ahead and do and now I do not see the problem. Call it a version glitch... closed.


author: Paul DeSousa
body: Version 37.0.2062.120 m Latest...


author: Steven F Behnke
body: Okay, "both" really is not clear enough. I use Chrome on a PC and a Mac and I do NOT have this issue on THIS website (answers.atlassian.com) or our own company instance. The popup shows up and I do not have to enter their email alias manually. Please clarify of my ALL situations as they work or don't work. Your specific issue is as follows: "When using our own Confluence, Chrome Users who are using the @mention function are unable to see the popup if they type more than one letter." Is this correct?


author: Paul DeSousa
body: Both. I am mostly concerned about my user base (500 users). I have noticed this for some time We are on version 6.3.4 of JIRA and 5.5.4 of Confluence, but have noticed it since Confluence V4. I just assumed that was a chrome bug, but a user complained so I am investigating. All users on all systems as far as I know see it. Try from chrome finding yourself by name (assuming your email is different from your name). It is just the pop up search window where it does not show.


author: Steven F Behnke
body: That's crazy. Does it happen here on atlassian Confluence Questions or is it JUST your instance? Does it work on other computers or does everyone using chrome on your instance see this issue?


author: Paul DeSousa
body: OK I have a user who name is John Doe and whose email is kkd@example.com, Typing @ John does not find him in Chrome (it does in Firefox and IE) Only @ kkd works in Chrome. They both work in IE and FF.


author: Steven F Behnke
body: What do you mean by, "it works with their email"? Your description only states that using anything but the first letter doesn't work.

rendering web pages in confluence
Asked by lance_lyons:

We are wondering if there is a way to render a web page from another site (like System Center Operations Manager) in a page on confluence.

Is this possible?

Thanks

Lance


Answers:
author: Ale? La?ar
body: Hi Lance,

you can try write your own user macro via Velocity. There you can use iframe or something like this for create a view of your page :smile:

User macros can write admins in admin console, there is a User Macro a there you can create a new one.

Something like this:

```
#param URL:title=URL|required=true?&lt;iframe src="#paramURL" width="90%" height="90%"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;
```


author: lance_lyons
body: Ok thanks Davin. I have a question perhaps you might know the answer.

The page URL that we want to render requires a Active Directory login. How would we provide a login to Operations Manager for the URL being render?

comments: author: Davin Studer
body: You would just point the iframe to the login page for Ops Manger.


author: Davin Studer
body: If you get the [Content Formatting Macros](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.adaptavist.confluence.contentFormattingMacros) one of the macros included is an iframe macro, which will let you do this. There is also the built-in HTML include macro, but it is not very good as it does not bring in the styles and JavaScript.

"Inline" macro option is broken
Asked by Robert Lauriston:

Confluence 5.4.4 inserts p tags around the macro. If I delete them with the source editor Confluence replaces them on save. I've found several posts on this, looks like it has been broken since 4.0


Answers:
author: Deividi Luvison
body: Hey Robert,

We had a lot of changes of CSS changes from Confluence 4 series to 5, and due to that the INLINE option no longer work in the way it worked before.

Please check below Improvement request and in case it matches your scenario vote up for the ticket and add your thoughts in there so we can increase it's relevance.

Thanks and Regards,

comments: author: Robert Lauriston
body: The problem is not CSS. The problem is that Confluence inserts p tags around the macro.'User macro wa_version is unrendered. Template is:{noformat}## @noparams2.4.4{noformat}Insert the macro in a sentence, set to inline, save page. 2.4.4 is not inline.

author: Steven F Behnke
body: This doesn't seem to be the correct issue at all. The issue you linked is about the code macro, not confluence wrapping every element with a \<p\> tag


author: Robert Lauriston
body: As Steven says, CONF-34322 seems to be a completely unrelated bug. This is about the user macro Inline option not putting the text inline because the editor automatically adds p tags around the macro. <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-24581> appears to be the bug I'm encountering. It has been marked as fixed in 5.5.1 but comments say it is not fixed.
How do I allow others to create a retrospective page?
Asked by Blake Wenzel:

I have given the user full project admin permissions in both the JIRA project and the Confluence space, but the "create retrospective" button is still grayed out and says they do not have permission.

Is there some other place I need to enable permissions for them to be able to add this?

As a note, the "retrospectives" top level page within the Confluence space is *not* restricted.

Thanks!


Answers:
author: Blake Wenzel
body: I just figured out the problem, and wanted to share the "Answer" in case others run into this issue.

Somehow, the "Create Retrospective" button on the top level "Retrospectives" page for the project was always trying to create the page on my personal wiki space instead of the project or even the current user's space.

So I edited the page, and edited the create button macro to always create in the project's wiki space.

Problem solved!

Thanks again for the help.

comments: author: Sylvia Kleinsmith
body: **Just the information I needed. Thanks Blake.**

I copied pages from one space to another, and users were not able to add retrospectives. Edited the "Create from Template" macro with the new space key, and it was fixed. Now I need to check any other pages that use that macro. Thanks again.


author: Jobin Kuruvilla [Adaptavist]
body: You only need to have "Project Admin" permission in JIRA and "Add Page" permission in Confluence space I guess. Does the user have both?

comments: author: Blake Wenzel
body: Hi Jobin,  
Thanks for the response!  
In the project admin area, under roles, I have added the user to the admin role. He is also part of the developer and user roles.  
In the Confluence space admin area, under permissions I have added the individual user and given him full access (including "add page").  
Is there somewhere else he might need additional permissions?


author: Jobin Kuruvilla [Adaptavist]
body: Nothing else, to my knowledge. Any error in the logs when you load the page?

Answers:
author: rrudnicki
body: Hello Ankur,

I did the steps on my confluence and it works smoothly. Well, the error message is saying that it is a DNS problem, so, could you verify it your DNS is configured properly on confluence server ? If you are running confluence on Linux, you could edit the file /etc/resolv.conf and insert the parameter as below:

nameserver IP_your_INTERNAL_DNS_SERVER

After it, restart the network service and try to add the macro again.

If you are running your confluence on windows server, just edit the network interface on windows and make sure that your first DNS address is your internal DNS Server.

If that doesn't work, please verify your DNS Configuration on your DNS Server to check if the server is accepting DNS requests from the IP Address from your confluence.

Hope it helps,
