Default Image Color Border
Asked by Armon Tiongco:

Hello,

When inserting an image, we select the border button for it to have a simple line border.

However, the border is in black. Is there anyway we can change the default color? Can it be changed globally or on space level? We dont want to do it per image as it will be quite a hassle given the amount of screenshots.


Answers:
author: Davin Studer
body: To globallly change it in Confluence under Confluence Admin go to the Look and Feel section and click on Stylesheet. Then you can add the below CSS to override the default black style. Change the #999999 to whatever hex color you want. This can also be done at just the space level under Space Admin.

.wiki-content .confluence-content-image-border {  
border: 1px solid #999999;  
}

comments: author: Armon Tiongco
body: thank you. i will do that. :)

Copying a page does not copy permissions
Asked by ROGER PICKETT:

When I copy a page or a page tree, the permissions on the page are not copied. IS there a way to do this?

Example: We have aa standard template of pages within our knowledgebase. Each page has different permissions according to the group that is allowed to edit the page. Rather than recreating the permissions on each page, I would like to copy the permissions when I copy the template pages.


Answers:
author: HosseinA
body: Hi,

You are right, restrictions are not copied with the page, and created page is unrestricted.

There is an improvement request for this. Please visit:

[](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-20593)<https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-20593>

I recommend that you watch the issue to receive the updates and don't forget to vote on it.

We don't have a system administrator
Asked by Paul Limanni:

Hey all, we just started confluence and have loved the product except for one issue. No one has system administrator permissions and we have no idea how to grant system administrator permissions. We had restricted some pages previously and need to open them up to others but are unable to change these settings because we don't have the needed administrator.

Thanks


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: I'm guessing your admin left after setting it all up?

Best solution is to add one of your current users, but here's the full set of "regaining access" docs - <https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Restoring+Passwords+To+Recover+Admin+User+Rights>

(Note, if you're using OnDemand for this trial, then it doesn't apply - Atlassian are the system admins and you'll need to talk to them about what you can and cannot do)

comments: author: Paul Limanni
body: Thats the issue! We are on OnDemand currently so I need to email Atlassian to get a system admin?


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Ah, well, sort of. Whoever set up your account with OnDemand will have been given administrative rights, although they aren't full-blown "can do anything at a system level" rights.

If you don't know who that is, or they've left, then yes, you do need to get in touch with OnDemand support to get other people granted those admin rights.


author: Mick Davidson
body: Someone else had a similar problem recently. The answer was, if I've remembered this correctly, is that whoever set confluence up is the sys adm user. So who was that?

No Pagetree Macro Documentation for 4.3
Asked by Mick Davidson:

Chaps,

@atlassian

I'm using the Pagetree Macro in Confluence and need to read the docs for it. When I click on the Documentation link it goes here:

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONF43/Pagetree+Macro>

This says

"Page Not Found

The page you were trying to reach could not be found: it may have been renamed or moved to another space, or the name you requested may be incomplete."

So the link from the macro itself isn't working, and a manual search doesn't find it.

Can anyone tell me where these docs have moved to and/or, how I link to another space from this macro?

I'm using download 4.3.7.

Cheers.

It shows me that I can't use it to extract the page tree from another space. Which is a pity, but at least I know now.

The title of my space Wiki pages show different on the tab when the page is opened.
Asked by Regina Lalement:

Hi all, im am completely new to this WIKI world and i get confused quite often :) I have created all the necessary pages for my wiki space and they all appear well organized and with the right titles in the page tree. However, when you go to each of the pages they all appear to have a 'subtitle' showing on the tab \> 'Title i gave+dash+subtitle that is unknown to me'. Am i making any sense? :)

Could anyone tell me how i did that? And how to remove it?

Thank you very much!

Backup path specified does not exist - Except it does...
Asked by Ian Sullivan:

I've enabled custom backup location for our tial confluence install and i'm trying to set it to backup to a mapped network drive on U:\\

However confluence complains that the 'Backup path specified does not exist.' Any ideas?

Update: Can't reply as I don't have karma :(

**All the permissions looked fine there wasn't really anything useful in the logs - however it seems happy to accept the UNC path to the share. Odd, but it's fixed at least.**


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: You can get this error if the user running confluence can see, but not write to, the directory/drive that it is pointed to. Check the permissions allow it full control of the target directory.

comments: author: Ian Sullivan
body: That sounds reasonable - i've just changed the atlassian confluence server - and the drive ampping to use my admin account and restarted confluence but no joy still. Is there something i've missed?


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Permissions are always worth checking first! :-)

Could you check the application logs to see if there is any more information on the error in them? It might have an error code or more detail on what the OS is telling it about the directories.

Sharing Information
Asked by Bruce Dutton:

Recently I shared a page with around 10 people asking them to review and comment on the document linked to the page.

How do I find out who I shared it with?


Answers:
author: Justin Leader
body: Unfortunately, there's no logging of this information that's visible via the main interface. While you could probably get this information from a custom plugin or digging through the logs, I'd suggest that the easiest way is to include **yourself** in the sharing. That way, you'll get an email about the share action. In that email it tells the recipient who else received that notification. See below for how it looks for me:

Inpage task update fails in IE9 (Conf 4.3)
Asked by Joerg Bencke:

Hi,

short version:

using the \[\] you can assign tasks inlined in a document. Trying to update the checkbox fails however currently. Reasons described [here](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONF43/Managing+Tasks+in+Confluence)do not apply - I can edit the page any time I like - the second I try to check a box without editing the page - it cant.

Solution: Caching Problem with IE9 - Even the "automatically check for up2date version" does not work here. You need to change the settings to "check EVERY time for updated source"

Advanced Macros plugin breaks when I updated from Confluence 4.3.7 - 5.2.5
Asked by Bryanne Leeming:

I updated to 5.2.5 this morning and the Blog Posts, Gallery, and a few other macros were broken from the Advanced Macros plugin.

Looking at the plugin in our Plugin Manager showed it to be disabled (grey text instead of black), but opening its dropdown had no other information. There was no way to enable it again.

Does it depend on another plugin? We had to rollback and need a fix for this problem as soon as possible.


Answers:
author: HosseinA
body: Hi,

Make sure the version of your Advanced Macros plugin is 2.3.1 as the compatible version of this plugin for confluence 5.2.5 is Advanced macros version 2.3.1.

<https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/confluence.macros.advanced/versions>

comments: author: Bryanne Leeming
body: Hi Hossein Toussi,

I just checked and that is definitely what the problem was. We had an old version of Advanced Macro and the Support Tools Plugin as well. My question now is, last week we did a practice update on our dev environment and everything worked fine. Why did it break on our prod environment and not on dev?

Also, what is a good way of finding out which plugins need updates before we upgrade our entire instance? I was using the Upgrade Check option on the Manage Add-Ons page to tell me exactly which plugins needed to be updated and neither of those two plugins were on the list at all. Is there a reason for that?

Thanks!

Realtime Concurrent Page Editing (like google docs?)
Asked by Matt Uebel:

There is a feature request to implement realtime concurrent editing sessions in Confluence at : <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-8333>

Doesn't seem to be any movement on it.   

**Is realtime editing on the radar at all?** To me this is one of the most glaring difference between Confluence and Google Docs, and would MASSIVELY improve the user experience.   

For instance, really only one person can take notes during a meeting. Would be marvelous for all meeting participants to be able to (truely) edit a document at the same time.

Dealing with our "drafts" concept (which no other products have drafts + real time editing)3. It's a lot of work! ;-) But we are keen to get it to you guys as soon as we can - we don't have a date for this this might arrive yet as it's very early stages.

Problem with stylesheet in Confluence
Asked by DanielG:

Hi,

<br />

I made this stylesheet in my Confluence:

```
span#title-text.with-breadcrumbs {  
color:transparent;    background-image: url('URL IMAGE'); background-repeat: no-repeat;  display: block;  height: 60px;  }  
```

Image is showing OK in Dashboard :

![](http://i41.tinypic.com/33be1dg.png)

But when I go to space, it's NOT ok...

![](http://i43.tinypic.com/xpd1le.png)

I don't want to show logo in space, but it's the same class (CSS) in Dashboard. It's possible to create a new class to only show logo in Dashboard?

Can anybody help me?

Thanks!


Answers:
author: Sean Curtis
body: Change your selector from...

```
span#title-text.with-breadcrumbs {  ...}
```

to this...

```
body.dashboard #title-text {  ...}
```

There's no need for the with-breadcrumbs class addition. Basically just find something different between the pages which you can use to differentiate the style.

comments: author: DanielG
body: You got the reason! Thanks Sean!

Best regards,

Dani


author: Steffen Heller
body: Just a general hint:

You must compare the two occurances of that image (in dashboard and space) and try to find differences in the html code around the image. This is not possible in confluence directly. You will need a tool like Firebug for this. If there are differences you can try to make use of them and define different CSS, one with "display: none" and one without.


author: Daniel Jonsson
body: Hi,  
Try this:  

```
a[href="/homepage.action"] img {/*your style here*/}
```

comments: author: DanielG
body: I don't understand your answer. I want to 'hide' logo in tittle space, but SHOW in my Dashboard... I put try this:

Search for pages with JIRA Issues macro
Asked by Evelin:

Hi guys,

Do you know if it is possible to search for pages that contain the JIRA issues macro?

We have Confluence 5.1.1 connected by an application link to JIRA 5.2.6. We changed the JIRA Base URL, and updated the application link. But still, the JIRA issues macro in Confluence uses the old URL which leads to errors in the pages. We are now editing the URLs in the macros but that would be easier if we had a list of the affected pages.

Thanks a lot


Answers:
author: Evelin
body: Atlassian support answered that the plugin had been renamed. Search for macroName:jira does work but is returns pages with the jira-issue macro as well as pages with jira-issues macro. In our case this wasn't too bad because we didn t have too much pages. We flipped through them and repaired the links manually. But if you have many affected pages, this would be very uncomfortable and time consuming.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: From about Confluence 4-ish, you can use macroName: jira-issues in the search bar to get the list of pages.

Unfortunately, I can't think of a way to exclude the pages you've already corrected :-(

comments: author: Evelin
body: Thanks Nic, I tried but unfortunately it doesn't work. For instance macroName:excerpt-include\* does work, but macroName:jira-issues does not.

Confluence attachments missing after restring a space

G'Day Gurus,

We have a legacy Confluence system v3.0.2 Space content that we would like to move our Production instance v4.2.3

Following instructions in

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONF42/Restoring+a+Space>

1) export space from v3.0.2

2) build a Confluence v3.0.2 in a local machine and restore Space

3) Upgrade to v3.5.13

4) Upgrade to v4.2.3

Up to here is every thing sucessfull in a Windows 7 laptop where I can see the Space content that i want with attachments and everything

5) Export Space from laptop instance

6) Restore Space in the instance I want

Note : I did step 6 without ticking "build index" as this would take quite some time and I wouild like to do it later (I will not be using the search function in my test)

The Space restore without errors however the attachments doe not get accross

Can you change default paragraph text size?
Asked by Natalie:

We use a section/column combo and in the first column we use the display child macro for links and the second column for a one line intro for the link. In 5.2 the text is not lining up with the list of links created by the display child macro. I have attempted to play with the parameters of the macro but cannot get the column content to line up.


Answers:
author: Patrice Rompas
body: Hi Natalie,  

You can change the default paragraph text size by modifying the CSS ([see documentation](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Basic+Styling+Tutorial)) and add lines like the following:

```
body, p, td, table, tr, .bodytext, .stepfield {	font-family: Verdana, arial, sans-serif;	font-size: 11px;	line-height: 16px;	color: #000000;	font-weight: normal;}
```

Hope this helps!

LINKS table very large and application index cannot re-build

Hello, we have a Confluence DB that is about 11GB of data and the LINKS table is about 7GB of data. We have over 50 million LINKS but only 53K CONTENT rows.
