jira issues macro wiki markup not recognized
Asked by doudou:

Hi

I'm trying to update a confluence page through the rest api using wiki markup.

Until I use macros, everything is fine, but as soon as I try to use a macro like jira issue, I'm not managing to make it work. In addition to an error message that looks like it's missing the jira server id, the rest of the macro is not recognised.

I'm using this markup :  
{jira:columns=type;key;summary\|url=<https://myjira.com/browse/MYPROJECT-2>}  
I was expecting confluence to understand that, but it says it's not finding the issue (the issue exists for sure) then when I try and edit the page, and go in the macro (which is apparently recognized) in the display options, it doesn't show the columns that I select in the markup, just an empty list.  

Does anybody knows what's happening here ? it's very frustrating I have to say.  
Thanks in advance for all the help.

welcome to the Atlassian Community!

I've looked into the macro and the parameters are: columnIds, columns, key, serverId, so I would try something like:

```
{jira:columnIds=issuekey,summary,issuetype|columns=key;summary;type|key=MYPROJECT-2|serverId=xxx}
```

where xxx needs to be replaced by your real server id

comments: author: doudou
body: So, it works even without the serverId.

So I have 2 questions :

Where did you find the documentation explaining those parameters ? I found something on atlassian before, maybe didn't read it correctly.

and the second is, where do I find the serverId ? (I'm not administrator of confluence here)

Thank you for your help, it really unblocked me

Great! Would you mind sharing the detail, how exactly does your request looks like (I'm especially interested in the body of the request, because it doesn't work for me :-))?

Thanks a lot!

*Where did you find the documentation explaining those parameters ? I found something on atlassian before, maybe didn't read it correctly.*

I tried to find the documentation, but I wasn't sucessful. So I just added one Jira macro to my confluence page and inspected it in the edit mode to see the definition.

*and the second is, where do I find the serverId ? (I'm not administrator of confluence here)*

It is available in the administration -\> Licence Details, so you won't be able to get it without admin rights.

How can add headings to the ?Table of Contents? Macro
Asked by Ashok Madireddy:

Hi,

Can i have your support on adding headings to the existing 'Table of Contents' Macro


Answers:

body: Hi [@Ashok Madireddy](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4570087) ,

You may also watch our [one-minute video tutorial](https://youtu.be/2Iaz7mlVMhc) about the Table of Contents macro. Hope it will come in handy.


author: Max Foerster - K15t
body: Hey [@Ashok Madireddy](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4570087), and welcome to the community!

The ToC macro reads out the headings from the page. So everything you format as heading on that page will be picked up by the macro. There's just a little but, you have different configuration options to limit the ToC macro to specific headings (Like H1 to H3 only) or exclude particular headings. I bet you already came across that settings. When you just added the macro, it will and should pick up every heading from that page. Just make sure the formatting is correct. To answer your request, you should need no help. Type a new heading, format it as a heading from the dropdown, make sure that heading level is not excluded in the macro, and you should already be done! :)

Best, Max

Have you already referred the documentation for [cloud](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-table-of-contents-macro/) and [Server/DC version](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/table-of-contents-macro-182682099.html) ? You should be able to modify the headings as per your requirement if you have edit permissions on the page.

You can check when confluence was stopped/started in confluence-application.log which can be found in the \<local-home\>/logs directory.

**du -sh /opt/confluence/bin** will give you the space consumed by **/opt/confluence/bin**directory.

I got an error after upgrading Confluence
Asked by Marek Wrzesniak:

I was trying to upgrade my Confluence from version 5.9.6 to 7.13.

I'm receiveing the following error:

Upgrade failed. Please consult the system logs for details. You will need to fix these problems, restore your database and confluence home directory to the pre upgrade state. Then retry the upgrade. Upgrade error message: Upgrade task com.atlassian.confluence.upgrade.upgradetask.DenormalisedSpacePermissionsUpgradeTask@6f55ce93 failed during the SCHEMA_UPGRADE phase due to: StatementCallback; bad SQL grammar \[DROP TRIGGER IF EXISTS denormalised_space_permission_trigger\]; nested exception is com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'IF'.

Answers:
author: Sagar
body: Hi [@Marek Wrzesniak](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/275885) I would recommend to follow the incremental upgrade path to upgrade your Confluence instance like below

current version 5.9.6 which was released in 2016 more than 5 years ago and you upgrading it directly to the latest version which is not recommenced as there are many database, schema, table relations and plugin table changes between version 5.9.6 to latest version 7.13.0

You can upgrade the confluence from version 5.9.6 to 6.13.x if you still face any issues then try upgrading to 6.6.x then 6.13.x once the upgrade is successful and instance is stable then try upgrading to 7.13.0 or upgrade to intermediate version 7.4.x then 7.13.0

Let me know if you have any questions.

comments: author: Marek Wrzesniak
body: Hi,

incremental upgrade was not required. Upgrading MS SQL from 2014 to 2016 solved the problem.

Remove unpublished empty Confluence pages
Asked by Robert:

Hello!

I just realized, that when someone starts creating a page, and simply click on the Close rather than delete unpublished page option, the empty page saved as draft. Even, if there is no title, no content. Our users has many - many empty, unpublished drafts.

Is there a way to disable it or remove them in batch?


Answers:
author: Kishan Sharma
body: Hi [@Robert](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2927340)

Currently It's not possible to bulk delete drafts created but not published. There's a [feature request](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-70244) raised for this, please vote for it and start watching it for updates.   

You will find a workaround discussed [on this thread](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Batch-delete-of-DRAFT-pages/qaq-p/1684436) to delete the drafts at once, by moving them to a space and deleting it.

Can I add Slack subscription for individuals to a Confluence wiki page without their involvement?
Asked by talcheh:

Hi

I have a Confluence space and integration set up with Slack already. Myself and co-workers can subscribe Slack channels to Confluence pages in the space.

However, I would have liked to know if it's possible to Slack subscribe co-workers to Confluence pages without the need for them to write in their Slack bot the command to subscribe to the Confluence page.

Meaning, in the Slack Notification option of the Confluence page, instead of a channel, @\<person\> to subscribe the person to the page.

Is that possible?..  

Thanks!


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello, and welcome to Atlassian Community! It's nice to have you join us. :)

Unfortunately, it's not possible to subscribe other users to Confluence pages to receive notifications, and we don't have plans to do that.

We recommend that you have all users subscribe to personal notifications via /confluence notify. Then, when they are mentioned on the page or are watching a page, they will receive notifications from it, using Slack to its full potential.

Otherwise, there are two alternative solutions:

* Ask everyone to subscribe to a specific page along with its subpages. Then, authors can create pages beneath it, and users will receive a notification.
* Create a separate space that explicitly targets the content you want people notified about, and ask everyone to subscribe to that space.

I hope that helps, but let us know if you have any questions.

Take care,

Shannon

comments: author: talcheh
body: Hi Shannon

Thanks you for taking the time to answer me back, and for the warm welcome :)

The options you mentioned are not applicable for how we use the Confluence - we want to be able to create pages/sub-pages that will serve as discussion topics, so every time specific persons and not a whole team needs to be part of that ongoing discussion, may be added without reaching them first to manually add themselves to it, thereby saving the time to reach out to them just to be added to the discussion.

The idea is that each topic might require different personnel participate in it.

The feature to add Slack individual channels is crucial and would remove the need to create multiple "group channels" for each individual, for the sake of the discussions space..

Can this option be considered to be added sometime in the future, please?

Thanks!


author: Shannon S
body: Hello, and thank you for the reply and for providing your feedback about the recommended workaround.

Unfortunately, I consulted with the Slack integration team directly, and they confirmed they have no plans to introduce this as a feature.

Can you add a hyperlink on emoji ?
Asked by Laurent:

Hi everyone !

I'm wondering if it is possible to add hyperlink on an emoji in Confluence ? eg. add links on country flags.

When i'm trying to do so by selecting an emoji in the page and adding a link, I get a prompt to define the address, but the "text to display" filed is empty. When inserted, the emoji is replaced by the address link.

If I add some text before and after the emoji, the link is added on both texts, but not on the emoji.

I've tried using images instead of emojis, but I can't reduce the image size as desired and can't display them side by side... (it could be nice by the way, to be alloud to define width \& height of an img and choose to display them inline)

Thanks for your help !


Answers:
author: John Tolle
body: For anyone who lands here, go vote on the following issue:

<https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-72956>

In the meantime, you can add Unicode glyphs (technically text) and add links to those or add an image from a file and add a link to that, but we all know that's not the same since that image will not be inline like an emoji would be.

comments: author: Kishan Sharma
body: Thanks for that link John, will vote and watch it.


author: Kishan Sharma
body: Hi [@Laurent](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4569772)

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

I tried to replicate this, and experiencing the same behavior as yours ie if I add a link the emoji is replaced by the link. So, it looks like it is not possible.

For images as well, after a certain limit we cannot decrease its size. As a workaround you can add the country emoji and add a text besides it and add link to it. eg: below -

![2021-09-23_15_04_37.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/161717iB90723CE52A2D380/image-dimensions/164x73?v=v2 "2021-09-23_15_04_37.png")

comments: author: Laurent
body: Thanks for your answer !

That's how I manage it for now (with a text beside), but I was wondering if I was missing something or if this could be improved, as it would be nicer, in my opinion, to keep only the emoji :)

Creation of dynamically populated tables
Asked by Steve Hodson:

I have pages held within Confluence that describe my company's IT solution based in AWS. As such this data in AWS sometimes changes, additional networks or virtual machines, and at the moment the way to make sure this data is kept in-sync with the solutions in AWS is by hand.

It would be great to be able to write a script that can gather and display this data and have the confidence that this displays the latest information. There are many hurdles to cross, namely how would I write a script and upload to Atlassian and once there how would it authenticate but these are all solvable.

I was wondering if the community knows of a macro or technique I could employ to achieve this.

Thanks in advance,

Steve


Answers:
author: Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}
body: Hi [@Steve Hodson](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4569694) ,

If you have the possibility to somehow pull your data out of the AWS in CSV or JSON format, then you can browse the Atlassian Marketplace for the apps that allow you to create tables based on such files (I think there even will be free add-ons).

Our app - [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) - is generally used for filtration, data aggregation, visualization and table calculations. But we also provide the [Table from CSV](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+from+CSV+macro) and [Table from JSON](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+from+JSON+macro) macros that allow you to create dynamically changing Confluence tables based on CSV, TSV and JSON data sources (attachments and URLs, the latter option may really suit your case).

comments: author: Steve Hodson
body: Thank you [@Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1464746) the suggestion of using Table from CSV does fit my use case.

Incoming Links in Page information section with IDs
Asked by George Rayne:

### **Confluence Server 7.13.0** {#toc-hId-1282973294}

Let's have 2 pages. The first page is called "Vehicle". The second page is called "Car". Let both pages have the following urls:

<https://confluence.my-domain.com/display/MARKETS/Vehicle>

<https://confluence.my-domain.com/display/MARKETS/Car>

Let both pages have IDs 1 for vehicle and 2 for car. I put this link on the vehicle page

<https://confluence.my-domain.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=2>

Then on this link

[https://confluence.my-domain.com/pages/viewinfo.action?pageId=1](https://confluence.egt-bg.com/pages/viewinfo.action?pageId=)

there is nothing in the "Incoming Links" section.

Why when I use a link

<https://confluence.my-domain.com/display/MARKETS/Car>

in "Incoming Links" there is something, but when I use

[https://confluence.my-domain.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=2](https://confluence.egt-bg.com/pages/viewinfo.action?pageId=)

there is nothing in "Incoming Links"? Is this a bug?  

I apologize for my poor English. I hope you understand what I am asking.


Answers:
author: Sagar
body: Hi [@George Rayne](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4569646) This is something odd, as when you put a link of any Confluence page with it's ID on another Confluence page Confluence automatically identifies the title of that page and create a hyper link for the same and same will be shown in the page information section for the incoming and outgoing links.

But when you put a link with ID of that page to the same page Confluence automatically identifies the page title and same the same but that link will not be added in the incoming and outgoing link section of Confluence page information.

On confluence cloud, **Space(s) and Page(s)** parameter is mandatory, [refer this page](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-task-report-macro/) created for using this macro on cloud. So you will need to specify the spaces and pages and it will display tasks from those.
