Confluence search custom plugin
Asked by Viktor Kuzmychov:

I'm trying to create a custom search plugin for Confluence.

Long story short:

How do I define search plugin in atlassian-plugin.xml? This doesn't work:

```
<search-decorator key="promoteContentCreatorSearchDecorator"
                  class="com.confluence.plugins.PromoteContentCreatorSearchDecorator"
                  weight="100"/>
```

I get my module always disabled:

![image.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/63558iA947AD70237BA6E1/image-dimensions/499x190?v=v2 "image.png")

Long story long:

I found [this guide](https://developer.atlassian.com/server/confluence/decorator-module/) and I like it quite a lot but it is only applicable for Confluence 7. While we still on Confluence 6.12

So I found [this one](https://developer.atlassian.com/server/confluence/searching-using-the-v2-search-api/) as well and everything seems fine except my module does not start after installing addon. I assume that is because of the way it is described in module description (see above). What is the right way to do that?

What do you guys think about new Confluence 7 server upgrade?
Asked by jira guy:

I see Atlassian release beta for Confluence 7.

Here is the release notes <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-7-0-beta-release-notes-968660949.html>

I believe these will be actually features they would ship in the end product. Honestly, I can't think of any feature to let end user know after this major upgrade. Atlassian is playing a hard ball here compared to cloud. If someone from Atlassian sees this, they would just comment saying they are different offerings or products.

Sometime this feature difference really annoys me!!!

When our customer talks about a new feature like next-gen features or roadmap in JIRA he found somewhere online.

All I have to say him is sorry, we have JIRA but it's not the same JIRA you are talking about.

author: Davin Studer
body: As a server customer (not data center) I am somewhat frustrated by the decisions that pretty much anything administrator focused only goes to data center. For instance the new permissions stuff will only go to data center ... as if server customers don't have issues with permissions as well. Also ,SAML support is only in data center. Lately, I've been pretty underwhelmed with Confluence releases. Yes, it's good to keep up on Tomcat, Java, and third party library updates, but I would like to see useful features added ... especially for those on server.


author: JP _AC Bielefeld Leader_
body: Hi,

I think we can expect more UI relevant update in the upcoming releases. This is mainly a platform update needed for setting up new possibilities for search \& other features.

Cloud \& server / datacenter are different products. Maybe Atlassian should put more focus on explaining the differences \& not how easy (?) it is to move from server to cloud.

If you're using server/datacenter, you've to handle much more dependencies compared to cloud. You cannot just change the UI or relevant features without preparing explanations, instructions or even do training. Most server customers use addons / apps. Sometimes Confluence is not even known with the product name in a company.

I always try to keep my Confluence server site quite up to date (Security issues are mostly fixed on the current version first, sometimes bugs are fixed I was waiting for a long time....). The introduction of the new search UI with Confluence 6.? was a big change for our users. Therefore I bundled some new features of various addons with it \& called it a new release of our intranet with explanation, blog posts \& some online training pages.

Major releases are for Confluence admins, but not necessarily for the users.

Best regards

JP

How to Access OOTB Jira Agile Reports in Confluence?
Asked by Marc Weisenberg:

Right now, I am able to include Agile burndown charts in Confluence pages (I can configure by project and choose from a limited list of sprints) - I complete this task using a macro.

I'd like to be able to do the same with other OOTB Agile charts from Jira. Is there a way to create a gadget from a existing Jira report (eg Sprint Velocity) that can be added to a confluence page? What is the best/easiest way to do this?

body: Thanks, Kris. One more question - I have reviewed the above and am wondering if the Jira gadgets directory lists every Agile report currently available in Jira? Right now, only the burndown for current sprint gadget appears to have been exported to confluence - I am looking for Velocity, too. Sorry if this is simple - I am not an admin and trying to gather as much info as I can before I reach out to ours.

Unable to use Confluence Server mobile app
Asked by Keegan Connell:

Hello, I'm having some trouble getting the Confluence Server mobile app to connect to my self-hosted Confluence server (internally - no VPN). I'm running it on an Ubuntu server, proxied by Nginx with a self-signed SSL certificate.

I've:

* Installed the self-signed certificate on my iPhone
* Ensured Nginx allows TLS 1.2
* Ensured the Mobile, Like and Workbox-host plugins are enabled and up to date
* Updated Confluence to the latest available version (6.15.7)
* Tried with UFW disabled on the server (same result)

I initially tried to connect with SSL without the certificate installed, got the certificate error you'd expect when using self-signed certs and went through the KB for cert errors and installed my cert. Now when I try to connect to the base url (<https://subdomain.domain.org>), I am greeted with the "We're missing something" error and told the app needs Confluence 6.8 or later. I'm on 6.15. The Learn more link brings me to the KB for enabling plugins, and I have confirmed they are enabled.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

nginx configuration issue?

Do you map Confluence to the root context? How do you access Confluence via browser (w/o the app)?

JP

comments: author: Keegan Connell
body: I access the site in Chrome mobile at [https://wiki.domain.org.](https://wiki.domain.org.?) Pretty sure it's mapped to the root context, too. I'm no pro web-admin though, from server.xml:

\<Context path="" docBase="../confluence" debug="0" reloadable="false" useHttpOnly="true"\>

I did try to connect straight through with the tomcat ports (8090 and 8443), but now that I think about it, I never adjusted the connector settings. And, now that I have, I can get in without SSL (don't want to mess with tomcat certs for the test).

So, now I've switched back to my https proxy connector and looked at nginx. I changed the config to only accept TLSv1.2 and after a reboot, I'm able to connect over SSL.

So, I'm good on my iPhone. I did try it on my iPad, but didn't enable the certificate trust first before trying to connect. When I fixed it, I still couldn't connect. Started clean on a coworker's phone and it works. I wonder if there's something in the app clinging to something?

Anyway, thanks for the help!

Docker confluence server behind reverse proxy continually shows tomcat configuration popup
Asked by cmorgan-be:

Starting things up via docker-compose. I'm using the CATALINA_xxx variables specified in the docker image page on hub.docker.com:

xxx_confluence:  
image: atlassian/confluence-server  
ports:  
- "8090:8090"  
labels:  
- "traefik.enable=true"  
- "traefik.frontend.rule=Host:zzz"  
environment:  
- CATALINA_CONNECTOR_PROXYNAME="zzz"  
- CATALINA_CONNECTOR_PROXYPORT="80"  
volumes:  
- type: volume  
source: aaa  
target: /var/atlassian/application-data/confluence  
networks:  
- web  
- db  
restart: always

But I'm getting these tomcat popups saying:

**Tomcat config is incorrect**

The Tomcat server.xml has an incorrect configuration:

**scheme** should be 'https'  
**proxyName** should be 'zzz'  
**proxyPort** should be '443'

The problem is that if I set CATALINA_CONNECTOR_PROXYPORT="443", and the corresponding scheme and security to true the container isn't accessible, I think because the port is changing.

I'm also not able to find where to disable the base url plugin check, which would turn off that tomcat popup that happens on each page reload.

I had this fixed in the past by editing the server.xml but I'd like to avoid having to do so, then I'd have to edit it each time I brought the service up and down, it would require another manual step and customization for the hostname so I prefer using the environment variables. The tomcat popup is simply intolerable though...

Log in Issue Confluence Cloud
Asked by Mariska van Meer:

When trying to login to Confluence Cloud the page doesn't open. The browser tries to reload the page several times and then comes up with the message:

"Something has gone wrong

Check that your browser allows third-party cookies and then try again using the button below (without refreshing the page)"

In Internet Options the Cookies and Trusted Sites settings are correct.

When a user logins with a prefilled password (such as LastPass) the Confluence page is accessible.

Any idea how to solve this?

Try 2 steps:  
1) clear the cache in your browser  
2) change your browser=)

Often there are cache errors that prevent Atlassian products from working properly.

accessing archives in deactivated account
Asked by Joanna Manikas:

Good morning, My company has a deactivated Confluence account and we are trying to get to archived materials. I logged in as an administrator and tried to find it that way but couldn't. I asked the customer support for Atlassian and they recommended I reach out to the Community.

Questions are: how do we access our archives? can I need to do it as the administrator?

Thank you for your help,

Carol


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Carol,

According to the case you logged with our Billing \& Licensing team, you have a Confluence license that expired in 2017. The particular license you are referring to is for a Confluence Server license.

If you did indeed host your own Confluence instance, then your server administrator would have had to set up some kind of [Backup Strategy](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/production-backup-strategy-38797389.html). If they have retained those files on the server, then they will be able to help you with the restoration. See [Migrating Confluence Between Servers](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/migrating-confluence-between-servers-184150.html) for information on how to restore that backup. You will need a new Confluence instance in order to restore your data and access it.

If this is not the instance you are looking to restore, and in fact, it was a Confluence Cloud instance (i.e. the domain will end in \*.atlassian.net), then we do keep full site backups of the instance, until the site is canceled and shut down. At that point, the data is completely removed from our systems and not recoverable.

The Customer Advocate let you know that you can reach out to Community for support in the event that you do have your own backup and need help restoring it. If you are encountering any issues in restoring your content from a backup, please let us know.

Regards,

Shannon

Editing Pages takes a long time.
Asked by Protosoft Account:

Hello,

we are running Confluence Powered by [Atlassian Confluence](http://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence) 6.15.6 in a self hosted cloud environment.

From Site A all works fine, editing pages has good performance.

From Site B after each keystroke the page is being updated (saved) and therefore editing is almost impossible. We are using IE Version 11.0.9600.18894.

is there any (Windows) setting known, which might be the reason for this behavior?

KR, Dierk Wiedemann


Answers:
author: Protosoft Account
body: Hi all thanky ou for your answers, but the question was not if IE11 is supported or not.  

The issue is, that while editing the content is being saved after each single keystroke. This makes it impossible to work on confluence.

Maybe you have seen any kind of this issues before.

<br />

KR, Dierk

As I know, Atlassian dont support IE browser, please, try on Site B another browser.

comments: author: Protosoft Account
body: Hi,

Mhm, interesting, but might be answered too easily. Additionally I might add, that the IE 11 which I use from Site A works well.

Therefore I'd assume that some Windows / IE Security guidelines (Sicherheitsrichtlinien) might affect the confluence behavior.

Confluence cloud and the include (page / excerpt) macro
Asked by Graham Reedman:

So we have just moved from Confluence Server to Confluence Cloud.

In Confluence Server I made heavy use of an Include Library to ensure consistency across our Confluence instance. the (Excerpt) Include (Page) macro did a great job of dropping included content in line wherever it was inserted.

In Confluence Cloud I'm finding that regardless of whether I use Except Include or Include Page the content from the reference page is being inserted on a new line. I just can't get it to insert inline.

Am I missing a trick? Has Confluence Cloud gone backward in respect of the power of the Include macro?

Add group permission to every Space

* Login in to confluence using admin permission
* move to and admin page
* Open JS console in browser (CMD + SHIFT + I on MacOS)
* Paste following JS code and press Enter.

```
jQuery.ajax({dataType: 'json',            contentType: 'application/json',            type: 'POST',            url: contextPath + '/rpc/json-rpc/confluenceservice-v2/getSpaces',            success: function( data ) {              jQuery(data).each(function() {                if (this.type === "global") {                  var requestArray = [];                  var permissionsArray = [];                  permissionsArray.push("VIEWSPACE");                                   requestArray.push(permissionsArray);                  requestArray.push("<your_new_group>");                  requestArray.push(this.key);                  jQuery.ajax({dataType: 'json',                              contentType: 'application/json',                              type: 'POST',                              url: contextPath + '/rpc/json-rpc/confluenceservice-v2/addPermissionsToSpace',                              data: JSON.stringify(requestArray),                              success: function( data ) {                                console.log(data);                              }                  });                }              });            }});

```

You have to replace \<your_new_group\> with name of group.

You can add more permission to above 'permissionsArray' like this

```
permissionsArray.push("EDITSPACE");
permissionsArray.push("EXPORTPAGE");
permissionsArray.push("SETPAGEPERMISSIONS");
permissionsArray.push("REMOVEPAGE");
permissionsArray.push("EDITBLOG");
permissionsArray.push("REMOVEBLOG");
permissionsArray.push("COMMENT");
permissionsArray.push("REMOVECOMMENT");
permissionsArray.push("CREATEATTACHMENT");
permissionsArray.push("REMOVEATTACHMENT");
permissionsArray.push("REMOVEMAIL");
permissionsArray.push("EXPORTSPACE");
permissionsArray.push("SETSPACEPERMISSIONS");
```

You can try this on staging before running on production.

If so, can you let me know what is wrong with the formatting in particular? The formatting won't match Word exactly since it's two separate pieces of software, but it should get the basic formatting in. Can you show me how it looks vs how you expected it to look?
