Restrict visibility to Confluence user directory
Asked by Justin Boyle:

I'd like to prevent anyone from browsing our Confluence server's user directory. I found the following [documentation](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-hide-the-people-directory-from-a-confluence-group-720640250.html) that describes how to remove the "People" hyperlink from the menubar, but that only hides the link to the page, it doesn't prevent people from accessing it via the url (<https://confdev.corp.creditkarma.com/browsepeople.action>).  

How can we ensure that users who visit that url cannot browser our user directory?


Answers:
author: JP _AC Bielefeld Leader_
body: Hi,

not sure, if this can be restricted at all. What you can do is block the URL when using a http reverse proxy:

Page Tree to a Different Space
Asked by Jaime_Robbins:

Hello,

I'm hoping there is a way to add a page tree or table of contents where the root page is in different space?

For instance, we have multiple spaces set up with different owners, etc., but would like to create one page to act like a "home" page where you can see in a glance all the pages that exist in those other spaces and navigate as needed. It seems with Page Tree, the root page needs to exist within that space (cannot be a page from another space)? Is anyone aware of a way around that? Perhaps there's specific root page syntax to find another space?

Thanks for your help!


Answers:
author: JP _AC Bielefeld Leader_
body: Hi,

shouldn't be a big problem as you can set the space key as a filter in the page tree macro:

Where is the documentation for creating a page template?
Asked by Sheila Hatfield:

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out how to use variables and template text in my page template. The documentation I've found is here:

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/blueprints-and-user-created-templates-724764985.html>

This documentation has features and menus which do not appear or work in the cloud version I am using when I am editing a template.

**There is NO file menu, NO template menu, and typing a $ does nothing. But I do see a \[+\] menu with an item called "New variable".**

What am I missing? Am I looking at the wrong documentation? Is there a mis-match between the documentation and the cloud deployed functionality?

Why is this so difficult for senior technical person to figure out on a platform built for engineers?

Thanks.

Sheila.


Answers:
author: Mike Bowen
body: Hi [@Sheila Hatfield](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3673767)

The document you have highlighted has all the necessary help needed in it, to create a template from scratch or to use an existing one. Have you been able to create a template?

To create a new template do the following:

1. Go to a page where one wants to create a page from.
2. Click the + button on the left sidebar. This opens a Create screen (containing existing templates).
3. At the bottom of the screen you'll see "**Add or customise templates for the selected space**". Click into it.
4. This opens Space Settings and the tab Templates is selected and you'll see all the existing templates from a basic template to all the templates mentioned in that document link.
5. Click on Create a new template, which opens a blank page. If you want to add New Variables you can use \<\> or select it from the + pull down menu \<\> New variables
6. Fill your template with variables or fields that you want to see every time your template is selected and once you are done Save.
7. Give it a name and update the Description on the Templates tab.
8. Here you can also promote your template, meaning push it up the ranking so that it appears on the front screen of the Create screen that first opens when a user clicks the + button on the left sidebar. (as in step 2 above).

Timeout on hosted Confluence
Asked by Michael Simmons:

We have a 10 or less hosted plan with Jira and Confluence. Jira is fine but Confluence times out when we try to edit a page. We've tried in 2 countries, on Pc and mobile, so it's not on our end.

It does work in the mobile app, but not a browser.

Any suggestions?

SQL - Get all labels in per Space - Excluding Personal Spaces.
Asked by Michael Schultz:

Currently I have this SQL which returns all spaces, their labels and how many times that label is used. This is great other than the fact that it also returns personal spaces. How can I tweak this SQL to filter out personal and only return global spaces?

left join CONTENT

join CONTENT c on c.contentid = cl.contentid
join label l on l.labelid = cl.labelid

where c.CONTENT_STATUS != 'deleted' and c.contenttype != 'SPACEDESCRIPTION' and s.spacetype != 'personal'

What is the replacement for noformat marco?
Asked by paul_vancleave:

What is the replacement for noformat marco?

I found this marco to be very useful. I see that it's no longer included with confluence.


Answers:
author: paul_vancleave
body: I think I found the answer:

The code marco allows you to choose a type of plain text. Also, the tab character /t will be interpreted by the browser and rendered according to browser settings (default is 8 spaces). Replacing the tabs with a specific number of spaces will ensure for example, a proper indent.

comments: author: Bhargav Zilpilwar
body: But there is text wrap with this macro, earlier when we used to use {noformat} macro the text was not getting wrapped hence it was easy to read log and comment looked short.

After latest update this is not the case.

The different verisons of cannot be retrieved
Asked by Niamh Dolan:

My team and I are having problems with a confluence page. The different versions are not showing modifications made since the 05/02/2020. Each document/version appears the same as the original document. Has anyone experienced anything similar?


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello [@Niamh Dolan](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3771842)!

As I understand, all previous versions of a specific page look like the current version. By reading your description, I believe that this was the workflow before you noticed this issue:
> 1. *A page was created*
> 2. *Versions of it were created*
> 3. *At some point, the current version is the only one that is reflected in the page history*
> 4. *Any new edit to the page is reflected into previous historical versions*

I tried to replicate this specific behavior but was ultimately unable to. I would like to understand a few points, here we go:
> 1. *Is this behavior present in other pages?*
> 2. *Are pages exactly the same as the current one or is there no difference when comparing versions?*
> 3. *What happens if you copy this page into another space or parent page and add changes to the copied version?*

Let us hear from you! Looking forward to your reply.

comments: author: Niamh Dolan
body: Hi

1. This behaviour is not present on other pages

2. The versions are exactly the same, there is no difference when comparing versions

3. We have since been able to modify the page. However, we need to access information that was in previous versions

Many thanks,

Need help on copying an existing confluence page to another confluence page
Asked by Farid Meladi:

I need to copy an existing Confluence page (including its sub pages, links, diagrams, etc) to an own confluence page. To do this, on th eexisting confluence page, I go on edid mode, I try to do clt +A to copy the whole content, but I fail to copy.

Any one can help out?


Answers:
author: Kev
body: Hi [@Farid Meladi](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3771151) ,  

If you are looking to simply copy the page you have to a new one (duplicating it), you can select copy from the three dots (...) at the top right of your page as shown in the image below.  

This will create a brand new copy of the original page while retaining any links you have on your page.

![1306110_1_Menu.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/83752iE64381355DF7C9F9/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "1306110_1_Menu.png")

What this won't do, is copy the hierarchy structure if it contains sub-documents, these need do be copied separately and then re-positioned within the new structure.

Using the "View in Hierarchy" option above, you can see my document layout shown in this image.  

![1306110_2_SpaceSettings.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/83757i6FECBCDBBF6B85FF/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "1306110_2_SpaceSettings.png")

If I copy the "Test Pages" page, you can see in the image below that the sub-page has NOT been copied.

![1306110_3_SpaceSettings.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/83758i6503102CCFCC0817/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "1306110_3_SpaceSettings.png")

So, for each sub-page, it looks though you would need to copy each individual page and then rearrange them via the "View in Hierarchy" menu option, to link them under the new version of the document.  

Hope that makes sense.

Answers:

body: Hello [@Rahul Nambiar K](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3770753) !

I believe that what you are looking for is our ++*Jira Issues Macro*++. With it you can display any specific set of issues within Confluence.

Since I do not have information on which platform you are, here we have the documentation for both Cloud and Server:
> * ++**[\[Confluence Server\] Jira Issues Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/jira-issues-macro-139380.html)**++
> * [++**\[Confluence Cloud\] Jira Issues Macro**++](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/jira-issues-macro-724765217.html)

If you create filters in Jira, you can display the filter results in this macro. For example, if you create a filter that displays only Resolved Level 1 (P1) tickets in Jira, you will be able to select the same filter inside the Jira Issues macro.

You could also create the filters directly in the macro.

I hope this helps you out, Rahul! Looking forward to your reply.
