How to get single records in PlaySQL Forms
Asked by Michael Theis:

I want to use PlaySQL Forms to show one single record without the possibility to switch between records.

Example: Show only the record where SoftwareID is 17 (perfect would be: where SoftwareName is Pagetitle

Can anyone please help?

Thanks, Michael


Answers:
author: Steve Boydon
body: Hi

I've tried this and it doesn't work with the following SQL as a query

SELECT \* FROM table WHERE field = '$pageTitle'

It does not appear to be dynamic.

If I replace with the page title text it works

Regards

Steve


author: Michael Theis
body: Thank you,

I already found out. The syntax in the WHERE clause had to be:

columnname LIKE '$pageTitle'

The popular macro is part of the usage tracking plugin and is [documented here](https://ecosystem.atlassian.net/wiki/display/USGTRK/Confluence+Usage+Tracking+Plugin).

It's disabled by default in Confluence so you may need to go to confluence administration -\> manage add ons -\> enable usage tracking plugin.

How can I customize a great looking interface for Intranet use with Confluence?
Asked by Angelica Isaksson:

Dear Atlassians,

We recently purchased Confluence and we are now in the process of setting up an Intranet.

I would like to have a better looking interface and I am wondering how you can go about changing the layout, if it is possible to change the look completely?

Nicer colours, maybe tabs, a background photo is some of the ideas we have. Are there themes for this, or can we pass this onto our IT department for them to customize it?


Answers:
author: Christine Bork
body: Hi there,

Basic designs can be changed and improved by using certain standard Confluence functions. Maybe you want to watch some of the videos of our Video Tutorial Series [?Learn Atlassian Confluence"](http://seibert.biz/learnconfluence):

* [Video: Change the name and avatar of a space](https://youtu.be/Lmpjguo3rMI)
* [Video: Apply a theme to a space](https://youtu.be/XWRGv0EjDjo)
* [Video: Customize spaces -- color scheme](https://youtu.be/9ZqXCxWRo_0)

The Linchpin [Theme Plugin](https://seibert.biz/ltp) is a very cool option to give your Confluence site a fully individualized look and feel.

This is a very short video about the [Linchpin Theme Plugin](https://youtu.be/8G71V_-I4pY) and here you can find the full documentation [here on this page](http://seibert.biz/ltp).

Or just [check it out on the Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1216579/linchpin-theme-plugin?hosting=server&tab=overview).

author: Jared Dohrman [Design Industries]
body: Hi @Angelica Isaksson,

In addition to Nic's comment, two theme add-on's I would recommend would be [Refined Wiki](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.refinedwiki.confluence.plugins.theme.original)or [Brikit](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.brikit.themepress)

Thanks,

Jared - [Design Industries](http://www.di.net.au/)

comments: author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: There's also Adaptavist's Theme Builder, which gives you a huge amount of flexibility, but no real off-the-shelf themes. Give Refined and Brikit a go first, but if their predefined themes (with options) aren't enough, you'll need to look at TB.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: You can do some stuff off-the-shelf (look for Admin -\> Look and feel)

But have a look in the marketplace for "themes" - Confluence has support for multiple themes in it (you can theme everything the same, or do it on a space-by-space basis), and there are loads on the marketplace.

For heavy customisation, look for the theme editors though !
Why the order of custom fields (addon) is not handled properly?

Sharepoint Connector for for cloud confluence

You can use the filters below to retrieve all updated content within a range:
To search for content created or modified within a certain date range, using the *created* or *modified* keywords. The date stamps are in numeric 'yyyymmdd' format:

author: Luiz Maia
body: Hi Chris,

You can also visualise that information from the database.

The below query will list all Confluence content and order by the last modified date:

```
SELECT * FROM CONTENT ORDER BY LASTMODDATE
```

If you want to list only Confluence pages on that query you can also use the following query:

```
SELECT * FROM CONTENT WHERE CONTENTTYPE LIKE 'PAGE' ORDER BY LASTMODDATE
```

Thanks!

But if you remove a user's ability to see the space, then the space will not appear on the list.

Profile Macro - How do I make it display the logged in user
Asked by Chris Hayes:

Is it possible to make the "Profile" macro function so that it displays profile info specific to the person logged in and using our Confluence intranet site?

What I'm trying to do is insert the user's profile information on the home page of our intranet so they are greeted with a more personalized experience, and also to call their attention to the profile information they have out there on our intranet site in case it needs to be updated.

In Confluence the "My-Picture" macro achieves what I'm looking to do, but only for the user's photo and not their full profile info.

Also, is it possible to customize the fields generated by "Profile" macro?

I found that the company that developed this macro is the K15T company and you can find more information in their [wiki page](https://www.k15t.com/display/FORMS/Text+Field+Macro).

Nevertheless, you can check other add-ons with the same feature such as the following ones:

Once you click on a link, it then shows up correctly as green (the custom color). This was working until an update to Confluence a few months ago, all links correctly showed as green.I did not see Global Permissions \> Stylesheet as you mentioned. I cannot enable this under General Configuration \> Security Configuration and selecting Custom Stylesheets for Spaces, the option is greyed out and disabled (I assume this is not available on the Atlassian Cloud version).I went through the options under "Space Tools", including "Configure Sidebar" but nothing stood out. There is a section for the Color Scheme, but all my spaces are just using the global color scheme (which has the correct color set).Thanks,Ryan

Does Confluence WIKI supports MS SQL express?
Asked by Vitaliy Trotsenko:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: [Supported Platforms FAQ](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=56918017)*

Does Confluence WIKI support MS SQL express edition? For very small instances (10 users with tiny load) such kind of solution would be preferrable than MS SQL Standard. Or maybe it is possible to use internal H2 database?

Thank you.


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: The short answer is "No"

It is not supported on MS-SQL Express. It does, for the most part, work fine, especially for smaller installations, but formally, it is not supported. You will find that Atlassian will try to support you if you have issues, but if they suspect any problems with the database, they will tell you to move it to a supported one.

The internal H2 database is also not supported, although it's fine for short-term use (Evaluation, development, etc).
