Create confluence page on every Word file attachment.
Asked by Siddheshwar mhetre:

I want to create a page for every word file attachments.

When I am attaching a new word document on the space, it should create a new page for that word file.

Import word document plugin is use for the same, but it will be upload only single word file.

I want to upload bulk word files and should create a new page for every bulk documents.


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

Attaching files is only attaching to existing one page. If you attached it to space, you attached it to some place (homepage).

Why you need to create one page only for one attachment?

If you need some list of attached word documents, you could try Attachements macro with pattern for only word documents (\*.doc,\*.docx). [](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Displaying+a+List+of+Attachments)<https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Displaying+a+List+of+Attachments>

Another think is that if you mean IMPORTING and not ATTACHING :) For that you have to try REST API, for more infos and examples: <https://developer.atlassian.com/display/CONFDEV/Confluence+REST+API+Examples>
JIRA macro in confluence page to report sprint display name (and not ID/number)
Asked by Akshay Trivedi:

Hi,

I am using JIRA macro to display JIRA report on confuence page. This report displays sprint ID/number in report rather Sprint name. It is difficult to remember internal sprint ID while sprint name make report much readable and consumable by wider audiance. How can i make JIRA macro display name and not ID?

I checked various columns in report but couldnt find one can help me.

Thanks,

Akshay

Pushing Comments to Clients (WebSockets for Comments)?
Asked by Felix Grund (Scandio):

I just read in the release notes for Confluence 5.6 that comments are now posted in the background with Ajax and there won't be any page reloads when comments are sent. I think this feature was overdue - thanks for the implementation!

In my opinion, the next step would be to push comments directly to other users such that those don't have to reload the page to see new comments. With the increasing presence of WebSocket, the technical base would be given for this feature.

My question: can we expect this feature in the medium term? Or am I totally on the wrong track with this idea?


Answers:
author: Guilherme Nedel [Atlassian]
body: Hello Felix, thank you for the feedback, we are happy about that feature as well. :)

As for the second topic, comments being automatically loaded into the current page has not been mentioned yet in our issue tracker, the entire list of requests for comment can be [reviewed here](https://jira.atlassian.com/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20CONF%20AND%20issuetype%20in%20(Epic%2C%20Improvement%2C%20%22New%20Feature%22)%20AND%20component%20%3D%20Comments%20ORDER%20BY%20updated%20DESC&startIndex=50). That looks like a valid suggestion, feel free to add it to <http://jira.atlassian.com>.

comments: author: Felix Grund (Scandio)
body: Hi Guilherme, thanks for this post! I'll create a suggestion. Do you know if the improvement that Jamie suggested (loading comments asynchronously after page load) is there somewhere already? Otherwise I'll create a second suggestion for this idea too.

author: Guilherme Nedel [Atlassian]
body: Hi Felix, I believe that's something to be filed up as well. :)


author: Felix Grund (Scandio)
body: Jamie, if you're OK with it I'll create an issue for this feature as well?

comments: author: JamieA
body: yes, thank you Felix.


author: JamieA
body: Yeah, massive +1 from me too. Posting a comment when there were already hundreds of comments was a tedious business.

If not done, the next thing I'd love to see is comments loaded asynchronously after the actual page content. Too often you wait ages for a page to load because it has a lot of comments, when the info you want is in the wiki page content itself.

Is it OK to do a Second Evaluation Installation of Confluence?
Asked by Stephanie Menteer:

We did an evaluation installation of Confluence 5.1.4 in August, 2013, after we upgraded our JIRA application to 5.2.11. Since then we have not actually used Confluence at all. We recently upgraded our JIRA application to 6.2.7 and then migrated it to a different server. We also shut down Confluence on the old server, since we aren't using it. Now we want to install Confluence 5.5.2 on the new server that our JIRA app is currently running on. Is it OK to do an evaluation installation of Confluence 5.5.2 on the new server? We don't have any content in our Confluence 5.1.4 installation to migrate or upgrade, so it seems like starting with a fresh install on the new server would be appropriate.

mapping/fixing broken links in a new confluence. Group Export
Asked by Jessica Foo:

Hi All,

My company has recently merged two separate confluences onto a new instance.

We tried importing the users(we did a full back up of one confluence, then manually imported the spaces from the other confluence). there does appear to be some broken links. Confluence doesn't seem to automatically map the users the their posts together so we sometimes get posts by (annonymous) users.

In addition, obviously, the groups have not come across automatically, and we'll need to recreate them. What is the most efficient way of doing this:? Is it possible to export/import a group? Or is there any way of extracting the users from them, so we can easily recreate the groups in the new confluence?

Many thanks everyone! :)


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

Usually merging confluence instances is not an easy task. If you have used the space xml export functionality, the users are not migrated, nor the groups.

Unfortunately Confluence does not have the functionality to export and import users and groups from one instance to the other. If the users from one confluence don't exist in the other instance, they won't be recognized.

I recommend to have the same user directories in both confluence, so when you import the space xml, it should work.

Cheers,

Rodrigo

Link Page title to a table cell
Asked by Nisha Pillai:

Hi,

I have two queries as inline.

1. I have created a page which consists of a table with the list of components. For multiple users to get their component details registered, a buttom has been given which leads to a component macro page.

Now I need the table to be updated as an when a new page is created through the button when used by the team. I want the table to be updated with the page title for the new component created. Is this possible?

2. Can we create complex charts in Confluence linking multiple pages?

Like though confluence has details on task items and decisions, I need a pie chart which represents the % of decision taken, % of decision pending. Likewise % of tasks to be initiated, in progress and in progress.

Please note that the data here is NOT on one page and the data fetching need to be dynamic.

Kindly provide me your response on [nishawitu@gmail.com](mailto:nishawitu@gmail.com).

Thanks.


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

I hope I understand your questions.

1) - I dont understand about your compenents, but maybe you can use Table Properties and Table Properties Macro. First one create a table in page (you can hide it) and there you can saved a properties and content of properties. Then you can create a page with page properties report macro, where you will have a table with all these macros (you creating a group of properties by label in macro).

For more information: [](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Page+Properties+Macro)<https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Page+Properties+Macro>

2) - I think this is maybe possible. You can create a User Macro (better should be plugin, but it will be harder to write it). There you can set a paramaters for a pages, where you want to have a source of datas, then via JavaScript get a content of these pages and find a elements by ID and create a chart from that. So at first, on few pages you will create a Data for chart (User macro - div box with specific ID, ID should be as parametr of macro), then on chart page you insert Chart from data (User macro - Source ID you will insert the ID from previous macros, list of URLs - pages with your previous macros and another sets, it will depend on that what you want). This macro via JS use a pages from list of URLs, find element with ID and create a chart from it. If I will have a few minutes, i can try to create this user macro. But now I have a lot of work.

Freeze / BackUp OnDemand Account (Jira, Confluence)
Asked by William Rodewald:

Hi,   

I would like to start using Confluence and Jira OnDemand for some presonals developments etc. However, since I am still a student and can't say if I am able to pay the 20? in the future, I would like to know if it is possible to "freeze" an account.  

So in case I can't spend the 20? , I would like to backup the complete system with every configuration etc. and when I can spend the money again, continue using the OnDemand service without loosing database data and such.  

I already read that you can export the database but I am not sure if this includes every configuration of the OnDemand system (Jira or Confluence) or only entries...   

Thanks in advance. :)  
Cheers!


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: The export contains all your data.

I'm not aware of any option to suspend an account, you'd need to talk to sales. But I suspect you'll need to take your backup, keep it safe, and then import it into a new OnDemand when you do take up the option again.

when the BackUp contains everything, then this would be totaly fine with me.

global user dashboard layout confusion
Asked by Alicia Miller:

Hi All,

I am having trouble with the default dashboard configuration using Refinedwiki.

So I created a dashboard layout within the Refinedwiki configuration in confluence admin, but it's not appearing as the dashboard layout for users when they login. What it IS showing is MY dashboard that I have configured when I am logged in (as admin).

And if I choose to "revert back to the default settings" from my dashboard, it doesn't actually even default back to the layout which I setup as the default configuration the Refinedwiki.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Alicia


Answers:
author: Andreas L?fgren
body: Hi Alicia,

Are you sure you are editing the correct dashboard? You mention that you created the dashboard layout from Confluence Admin, but the global dashboard (i.e. the dashboard that can be found on the "front page" for every each user when they log in) is actually edited from the dashboard. See the attached screenshot:

![](../../upfiles/editglobal.png)

The global *user* dashboard however (which is edited in confluence admin), controls the dashboards found on each users profile. (Like this one for example: [](http://demo.refinedwiki.com/users/view-user-dashboard.action?username=emil))<http://demo.refinedwiki.com/users/view-user-dashboard.action?username=emil>)

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Best Regards,

Andreas

comments: author: Alicia Miller
body: Hi,

Yes this has cleared things up for me, thanks. I think the problem is (and I know this is a confluence problem, not a refinedwiki problem specifically), is that admins see the "edit dashboard" on the main dashboard and think that they are just editing for themselves, nut in fact it affects everyones dashboard. Any idea how to turn that off (without taking admin rights away from them)?

Thanks,

Alicia

can a user prevent the admin from seeing a space? this is ondemand
Asked by Peg Schafer:

I have a user that says he has a space. I am loged in as admin and I cannot see the space.

It is not in any drop down - I can see it on the "space permissions" page, I allow myself access to it and it is still not viewable by the admin account. Any clue?


Answers:
author: Elisa [Atlassian]
body: Hi Peg,

You will need to configure the [space permission](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/AOD/Assigning+Space+Permissions) so you can view and manage that space. Since you are admin, just grant you all the permissions (View All, Add/Restrict/Delete Page, Add/Delete Blog/Comment/Attachments).

Hope this answers your question. :)

Cheers!


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Yes and no.

To see a space, your account must have the right to browse the space. An administrator does NOT get that right automatically as part of their admin rights (Admins can see/do everything is a dreadful design failure), thye have to be granted that right, just like any other user.

They DO get the right to see the space as part of the list of spaces they may need to administrate though.

In other words, check the space permissions. You'll find your admin account does not match the "browse" rights.

ComponentAccessor in Confluence?
Asked by Kyrre Kristiansen:

I've been using the Script Runner plugin in Jira for pretty much anything under the sun. It's really a great plugin for finding out details about the running Jira instance, and I've worked up quite a collection of scripts that I use more or less frequently.

I've installed the Script Runner (3.0) on our Confluence instance, and I'm having less luck.

The API's seem to be quite different, and I am struggling to get a "way in", so to speak.

In Jira, all things start from the ComponentAccessor. Is there a similar component in Confluence?

I do most of the scripting in the scripting console.


Answers:
author: Kyrre Kristiansen
body: After some heavy googling, I found the com.atlassian.spring.container.ContainerManager, which seems to be what I'm looking after. For example, trying to fetch the pageManager from the script console, use the lines:

ContainerManager.getInstance().getComponent("pageManager")

Which will return the page manager for general use and abuse :-D


author: Jonny Carter
body: The [com.atlassian.sal.api.component.ComponentLocator](https://developer.atlassian.com/static/javadoc/sal/latest/reference/com/atlassian/sal/api/component/ComponentLocator.html) class may actually be the nearer equivalent.
