How to remove dashboard recent activity?
Asked by Ubee:

Hi,Sir,

How to remove dashboard recent activity? please see the red color frame as blew![](../../upfiles/dashboard_confluence_1.jpg)

I try to disable dashboard macro plugin and edit code of global layout, still don't work.

Thanks

body: Hi, All,

I find out the solution to remove dashboard recent activity.

Go to Confluence Admin \> Look \& Feel \> Layouts -\> Global Layout

delete the code

` <div class="dashboard-group right wiki-content">`  
`$helper.renderConfluenceMacro("{recently-updated-dashboard:showProfilePic=true}")`  
`</div>## right`

It's work for me.


author: Kirstin Seidel-Gebert
body: Alternatively, you could edit the **Global Layout** of Confluence. I found no good documentation for doing so (so I coudn't paste a link), but you can find the global layouts here: **Confluence Admin \> Look \& Feel \> Layouts**.

For major changes you'll need some knowledge on Velocity, but just removing the recent activity macro shouldn't be too difficult.  
I recommend not to directly change your live Confluence, but to do the changes in a test installation of Confluence. Then, as soon as you're satisfied, apply the changes to the live system.

author: NotTheRealStephenSifersNOPENOPENOPENOPE
body: You can create a new space and use the new space as your landing page for all users. This will allow you to be able to configure a lot more within the page then the default dashboard. Upon creating your new space you can elect to NOT use the recently activity list.

Here is how to change you landing page:

[](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Configuring+the+Site+Home+Page)<https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Configuring+the+Site+Home+Page>

(This is just one of many options but allows for a lot of felxability)

comments: author: Ubee
body: Hi, Stephen,

Using Space as Site Homepage is a good solution. But the layout of space as dashboard is not match my requirement.

Thanks your suggestion.

Is there a way to print the contents of an iframe to PDF?
Asked by AB:

Hi,

I'm currently using an iframe macro to link to a Google spreadsheet. I was wondering if there's a way to print the contents of the spreadsheet to PDF? I'm using Confluence 4.3.3, and the spreadsheet that I'm linking to has multiple tabs. I can generate the PDF by either using the **Tools \> Export to PDF** function, or by using **Browse \> Space Admin \> Export Space to PDF** function.

Thanks,

Ana

body: Nope it doesn't seem to work with iframe. You could use HTML include macro for this, but your mileage may vary with that macro as it doesn't typically play nice with images, or styles.

body: Thanks Davin, I'll see how the HTML include macro works out :)

Two Separate Confluence Configurations with one Installation
Asked by Steven Kvarantan:

Is it possible to setup 2 separate configurtions of Confluence with the one installation? So that you can setup 2 separate URL's, one takes you to an Administration page that everyone has access to and another URL takes you to a Developers page that only developers have access to.

Or do you need to setup 2 separate installations of Confluence and buy 2 separate licenses ?


Answers:
author: Jacob Joseph
body: If the need is to have just 2 separate URLs, with specific permission settings, you can create 2 spaces - one for Administration and another for Developers and set permissions per space. You can get direct URLs for each space and share those with the users. If Spaces are not reqiured (where you can have more than one page under each), you may just go with separate pages and set "Page Restrictions" to restrict read/write access. You may share the direct URLs for each page to the intended users.

If dedicated URLs are a must and that you need to hide the fact that both pages/spaces are in the same server/instance, you may think about having a webserver infront, doing URL rewriting (based on Space name in the URL)

comments: author: Steven Kvarantan
body: Thanks for that. I will give it a try and see how we go...


author: Steven Kvarantan
body: I tried it and it was not 100% what we wanted but it did the job well enough. Thanks Jacob...
Content by user mention macro
Asked by Berry Street:

There's a "content by label" macro that lists pages based on how they're labelled. Is there something similar, but for user mentions? I'd like the get a list of pages in a space where 'username' was @mentioned.


Answers:
author: Tom Birch Hansen
body: did you try seach term as

"\~xxxxx"

where xxxxx is username?


author: Berry Street
body: Thanks for the reply. Feature request created: [](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-33832)<https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-33832>(and one off a pretty good number, too).


author: Berry Street
body: Oh nice! That's close enough. Thanks!


author: Berry Street
body: Yeah Tom, I tried that, but it didn't work out so well. It wasn't finding @mentioned people properly.


author: Tom Birch Hansen
body: Allthough it might not give you exactly what you are after, you could give the 'search result' macro a try. Use the username as the search term.


author: Guilherme Nedel [Atlassian]
body: Hello Jurgen, currently that is not possible. Nevertheless it is a good idea, would it be possible describe the functioning of the feature through a ticket in <http://jira.atlassian.com>as a *Feature Request?* In that way it can be [evaluated](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DEV/Implementation+of+New+Features+Policy) to become something delivered in upcoming releases.

Why doesn't my Confluence see my Jira projects?
Asked by Alex Lewis:

I have an oauth token in JIRA for Confluence, but I don't have one in Confluence for JIRA -- I can link to confluence pages in JIRA tickets, but I can't link to JIRA tickets in confluence pages.


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

You'll need to create the application links for both sides. I recommend using the trusted application type which will use the current logged user permissions for both apps.

After doing this, if the confluence user have permission to see the jira project, then he will be able to do so. :)

Cheers,

Rodrigo

comments: author: Alex Lewis
body: Thanks, but i only have Oauth as an option-- I don't see "trusted application"


author: Dave
body: This should automatically be done for you, it sounds like you might have 2 distinct OnDemand instances instead of having one with both JIRA and Confluence. You might consider combining the two if that is the case.

How to render a tooltip for a glossary entry on a page?
Asked by bill stratford:

The Glossary macros [](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/fr.spectrumgroupe.confluence.plugins.glossary)<https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/fr.spectrumgroupe.confluence.plugins.glossary>are quite nice for building/searching a glossary.

How do I add a background color to the AUI Button Hyperlink macro?
Asked by Karie Kelly:

The AUI button hyperlink macro is part of adaptavist content formatting premium package.

I wanted to use it instead of the round rectangle macro because it is nicer when the button is a link to something else.

However, i cannot figure out how to use the ID and Class properties to change the button background.

I thought the class would be something like: #background {background-color: D1A0A0;}

and the ID would be something like either background or id="background".

But, no matter what I do, I cannot get the background color to change. Anyone have ideas on how to do so? Thanks!


Answers:
author: Davin Studer
body: I believe this is what you are looking for.

```
.contentf.aui-button {background: #D1A0A0};
```

comments: author: Davin Studer
body: Does this work for you.


author: Lesley Wilson
body: Hi Davin,

I'm also trying to change the colour of my button/s using the 'Button Hyperlink' Macro.

Can you please confirm what I need to do to use your answer above?

Do I enter in as follows or am I missing something?

```
ID:?id="background".
```

```
Class:?.contentf.aui-button {background: #D1A0A0};
```

*With #D1A0A0 being the hex value of my choice.*


author: Davin Studer
body: No, you need to add a style macro to the page and put the CSS rule in the body of the style macro. Looks like the CSS classes have changed a bit since I originally answered.

```
.contentf-button.aui-button {background: #D1A0A0};
```

Adding it to the ID or Class attributes won't do anything.

Confluence: Upgrading from 5.1.4 to 5.5.2
Asked by Leslie Coleman:

Due to the recent security alert, we temporarily fixed by only applying the patch. Now we are looking at upgrading our Confluence 5.1.4 to the 5.5.2.

Does anyone have any advice? (Considering that I will be jumping 15 releases to reach 5.5.2?)


Answers:
author: Bruna Griebeler
body: Hi Leslie,  

Don't worry about jumping 15 releases. From 5.1.4 to 5.5.2 the database schema had some changes, but all should be created during the upgrade process.  

Ao basically, before the upgrade, remember to:  
\* Create a database dump of your Confuence Schema  
\* Copy the \<ConfluenceInstall\> and \<ConfluenceHome\> folders.


author: salehparsa
body: Hi Leslie,

First and most important thing that I'd like to recommend is**Clone your Production instance to Test Environment**and perform upgrade in your test instance first.

Other than that, please preper a **full backup of your database** and **\<confluence-home\>**directory before you strart the upgrade.

I'd also recommend you to read following documentation for full information and details about upgrading Confluence.

*
  *
    * **[Upgrading Confluence Documentation](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Upgrading+Confluence)**

Let us know if you've any question about upgrade procedure. :-)

How do I display team Velocity (from Jira Agile report) on Confluence Page
Asked by Leigh Zainal:

I want to display our scrum team's velocity, from the Jira Agile Velocity Report, on our team Confluence page. How can I do that, other than just embedding a link .... I would like for it to show like the Jira Issue plug-in does


Answers:
author: Steven F Behnke
body: It looks like you have to do a couple things.

First, you must establish an Application Link between your Confluence installation. Second, you'll need to add your JIRA gadgets to your Confluence installation. Once they've been added, when you are editing a Confluence page, you can Insert Macro and find your JIRA dashboard gadgets. I don't think there is a Velocity gadgets so you'll have to make due with the Classic gadget or some of the many other Agile gadgets. There is an improvement request to add a Velocity Gadget here:[](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/GHS-10762)<https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/GHS-10762>

Can the tab key be used to autocomplete an @mention?
Asked by Darren Bowen:

Is it possible to use the tab key to complete the currently highlighted item in the auto-complete drop-down? Currently pressing tab will cancel the autocomplete and leave the characters that you had typed. I would like it to work like the enter key, such that it completes with the currently selected item.

This is a common keyboard shortcut in programs which support auto-complete or intellisense, and therefore I frequently press it by mistake.


Answers:
author: Guilherme Nedel [Atlassian]
body: Hello Darren, currently that works through the down arrow in the keyboard, not sure if you are aware of that, changing this behavior would impact every user that is already acquainted to the down button, but may be worth a shot considering to create that through [jira.atlassian.com](http://jira.atlassian.com)as an improvement request.

More about Confluence shortcuts, after [this link](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Keyboard+Shortcuts).

body: Request added here:

[](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-33824)<https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-33824>

I'm not sure that implementing the tab key functionality would mean that the down-key functionality would need to change, unless I've mis-understood the answer.
