quick search
Asked by Dan Campbell:

Firstly, with the quick search (it should show results while you are typing, but it does not show them until you press Enter). Secondly, in the Search screen (once you do a search, you can't do a new search in the search field).


Answers:
author: Theinvisibleman
body: Hi Dan,

Hmm, this might require a support case to help you better, but let's see what if we can find out further here first :)  

Firstly, about the quick search, could you check in the Confluence administration if this feature has been disabled? For more info check this out - [Configuring Quick Navigation](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Configuring+Quick+Navigation)

As for being unable to search from the Search results screen, could you clarify a bit more on what happens after you perform a search? Does the search bar grey out? If you have some screenshots it'd be a great help :D

comments: author: Dan Campbell
body: Hi Joe -- Thanks for the quick reply!

I will need to have the admin check to see if the feature has been disabled.

Regarding searching from the Search results:

Perform a search

On the results you se the page lists the results -- e.g. one of 41 results

you will aslo see two search options, one in the upper right and one directly above the search results.

In the box above the results - key in a word to search for. Upon hitting enter or clicking on the magnifying glass, nothing happens.

Hi guys,

I'm trying to implement two status macros, which are interconneted to each other, e.g. changing statusA\\color updates statusB\\color to the same setting. I think you get what i mean

body: THank you very much, Guilherme, for your fast answer.

I will make use of this feature request, thanks. Is there currently any other way to get rid of my problem? Something like corresponding tasks or text blocks or anything like that? The way of interaction has to be just unidirectional


author: Guilherme Nedel [Atlassian]
body: Hello Franz, currently the macros work independently, you may like to create a feature request describing such functioning and add a ticket to <http://jira.atlassian.com>, in that way it can be [evaluated](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DEV/Implementation+of+New+Features+Policy) to become something delivered in upcoming releases. As you can [see here](https://jira.atlassian.com/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20CONF%20AND%20issuetype%20in%20(Improvement%2C%20%22New%20Feature%22)%20AND%20text%20~%20%22%5C%22status%20macro%5C%22%22%20ORDER%20BY%20summary%20ASC) there are already a number of requests to improve the status macro.

free forum functionality for confluence 5
Asked by Iakov Dlikman:

Dear all,

is there a free plugin that allows forum functionality in confluence 5?

If you using a third party forum in confluence 5 - can you share your experience on setup and maintenance?

Kind Regards

Iakov


Answers:
author: Monika Turska [Adaptavist]
body: Hi Iakov,

Take a look at our [Community Forums](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.adaptavist.confluence.forums) add-on, it's no longer free, so we can invest in its development and provide a great support for users - but check it out, you get 30-days free evaluation in the Marketplace to make sure whether it meets your needs.

Also check [Forums documentation](http://www.adaptavist.com/doco/display/FP/Community+Forums+Plugin), or get in touch with our [Product Support Team](http://www.adaptavist.com/w/about/contact-us/) to learn more about the Forums capabilities.

Thanks,

author: Deividi Luvison
body: Hey Lakov,

I believe the [Community Bubbles Plugin](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.adaptavist.confluence.bubbles) might suit your needs since it is still free.

The above add on is from adaptavist, they also created the community forums plugin, so I can't confirm for sure is the forum functionality is still in there, however I still believe it worth a shot installing community bubbles to check it out.  
Thanks and Regards,

Mobie footer logo as an attachment in Confluence

Using iframe in an user-macro
Asked by Martin Kellner:

I would like to use an iframe to have an alternative pdf preview:

- If I hardcode the src the pdf opens in the iframe.

*\<iframe src="${config.getDomainName()}/download/attachments/${content.getIdAsString()}/${paramPDFattachmentName}" \> alternative text \</iframe\>*

- If I use the variable construction as shown above I get a dialog box to select between "save" and "open with" for the pdf in Firefox. The pdf is opened externally in the reader. If I use Chrome the pdf file is downloaded.

Is there any way to make it open in the iframe?

The Adaptavist inline macro has the same behavior but you have to use the complete url. The html macro works, but the syntax is more complex for "normal" users and you also need the complete url.


Answers:
author: Martin Kellner
body: Hi Wayne,

this doesn't help either.

I use variables to feed the src-argument. If I use a fixed source url it already worked in the pass. There is also another problem if you have whitespaces or e.g. brackets in the filename and you pass the filename through a parameter. I had a testfile that has both of this characters and it failed before the open file dialog opened for displaying the pdf in an external viewer.

Regards

Martin Kellner

An addition: The PDF preview is in confluence 5.5 much better than it used to be in 5.1. So I stopped working on this topic after updating our system.

comments: author: delete it
body: Hi,

can't contact you directly. Could you show example how to use variables to feed src argument?

page name conflict
Asked by L:

Hi

In my existing install of Confluence (3.1.1), if a user tries to create a page with the same name as an existing page within the space, it comes up with a warning, and will not let the user save the page.

We have new install of Confluence (5.4.2) If a user does create a page with the same name as an existing page, it just writes over the top of the previous page. Is there any way we can configure Confluence to load a warning? Warning users is one thing, getting them to remember is another.

How to enable page statistics on Google Analytics for a specific page?
Asked by Udhay Parerikkal:

Hi All,

Is there a documentation on how to enable page statistics on GA for a specific page? We have enabled google analytics and I would like to get metrics (page views and duration etc) on a specific page and email to a particular user group.

Note: I'm not looking for a paid solution. The videos out there are old or specific to paid solution.

Thanks in advance

Udhay


Answers:
author: David at David Simpson Apps
body: Hey @Udhay Parerikkal, as you're not after a paid solution, the simple answer is to embed the Google Analytics code on the single page e.g. with a user macro or embed it with the html macro and then setup weekly reports in Google Anaytics like so:

[](http://www.paulmycroft.com/the-search-engines/email-reports-google-analytics/)<http://www.paulmycroft.com/the-search-engines/email-reports-google-analytics/>

If you're using Confluence OnDemand, you're out of luck - no HTML macro \& no user macro

comments: author: Udhay Parerikkal
body: Thanks, but I'm unable to generate a metric report just for a specific page from confluence. Only then, I can set up the emailing option. So, the issue is not emailing but more about generating metrics for a specific page from confluence.

Thanks

comments: author: Udhay Parerikkal
body: Thanks for the quick reply, but I'm not sure if that answers my question. The code pasting is done and I see the overall metrics in GA. I'm looking to create a seperate report/view for just a specific page and send the metrics via email on a weekly basis. So, the work is mostly on GA and I don't see an example how to accomplish the same.

Thanks

Diagramly Usage Question
Asked by Alyson Reis:

Hello,

I've installed the free version of the Diagramly plugin and it seems to be rather different from the version in the tutorial video here: [](https://drawio.atlassian.net/wiki/display/DPFC/draw.io%20Plugin%20for%20Confluence%20Home)[https://drawio.atlassian.net/wiki/display/DPFC/draw.io%20Plugin%20for%20Confluence%20Home](https://drawio.atlassian.net/wiki/display/DPFC/draw.io%2520Plugin%2520for%2520Confluence%2520Home)

For instance, I can't seem to drag and drop images into the diagram, it simply asks me if I want to leave the page (tested on Chrome and Firefox). Additionally, I don't have the option to manually insert an image under the "Arrange" option.

Is this a feature only available in the paid version? If so, how different is the free version from the paid one in terms of features?

Thanks in advance.


Answers:
author: David Benson _draw_io_
body: There's no pay for features in the free versions, there's no licensing functionality at all. The issue here is simply that the drag and drop of images into the graph is a feature we introduced after switching to pay-for only.

The best thing to look at what improvements/bug fixes there are since a particular version is the changelog of each version.


author: Alyson Reis
body: Ok, understood. Thanks for the clarification.


author: Alyson Reis
body: I'm using Confluence 5.2.3 and the 2.7.2 version of the plugin, maybe this feature is not present in this version? Anyway, is it possible to upgrade to a free 3.2.3 version? I'd really like to use this plugin and the process to get approval to buy a plugin license here can take ages unfortunately..

Thanks


author: Boris
body: Which plugin version and which Confluence version are you using?  
Currently, if you don't have a commercial license, all that is different is the presence of the footer in the diagram editor. There are no paid-only features right now.

Image D\&D worked for me in the 3.2.3 and 'Insert Image' option is there.

Page breaks in custom exports
Asked by Karie Kelly:

Our PDF layout is setup to do page breaks after h1, h2, and h3 as well as adjust table layouts. However, when we use the space custom export, we want to apply the same functionality. How do I create CSS to do the following that we have in PDF Layout to put in the PDF Stylesheet?

.wiki-content h1 {   
border-bottom: 2px solid #919699 ;   
padding-bottom: 1px;   
}   

.wiki-content h2 {   
border-bottom: 2px solid #D8D8D8 ;   
padding-bottom: 1px;   
}   

}  
h1, h2, h3 {   
page-break-before: always;   
}   

<br />

table   
{   
table-layout:auto !important;   
width: auto !important;   

}   

<br />


Answers:
author: Steffen Heller
body: You never know, but to my knowledge there should be no difference between page exports and custom space exports.

Have you tried with other formats? Perhaps you could create a simple testpage and experiment with a few things like page breaks, font colors and the likes. If they work in the two different exports, you would know that the page break problem must have another explanation and could try to correct that.


author: Steffen Heller
body: Hi Karie,

I don't really get your question.

I thought that there was no difference between space export and custom space exports. Formats defined in either PDF Layout and/or PDF Stylesheet will work in both cases.

Sorry if I missed something, but where did you define your layouts, where and when does it work and where not?

comments: author: Karie Kelly
body: That may be the intent, but not how it is working for us (Confluence 5.5.1). I have that code in our PDF Stylesheet. It works when we do a page export - there are page breaks on the headings. However, when we use the space custom export, it doesn't do page breaks on the headings. So, I figured I had to convert to html and put in the PDF Layout. Right now, the custom exports have become useless to us because there are no page breaks where they should be. Thus, we cannot generate any of our client-facing user or admin guides.

Also, our PDF layout includes the addition of a title page, a copyright statement page and a TOC. These are only applied for a space export and not a page export.
