'Table Spredsheet Include' Macro
Asked by Matt:

Hi,

I was trying to create a table or spreadsheet on a confluence page which pulled / referenced data from an attached excel spreadsheet.

I realized that this could be done in two ways.

1) Attach Spreadsheet to the confluence page and use 'Table Spreadsheet' Macro to view the data as an embedded spreadsheet

2) Attach Spreadsheet to the confluence page and use 'Table Spreadsheet include' Macro to view the data as Table.

The latter was my preferred option but upon trialing it in various instances I realised the 'Table Spreadsheet' include macro only worked when 'Table Spreadsheet' had been previously used and the excefilename.render and excelfilename.tfss had been created.

Surely I should be able to attach a spreadsheet to a page and use 'Table Spreadsheet Include' without having to use 'Table spreadsheet' first?

Thanks

I see you use the app [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence.](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/tfac/cloud/welcome-to-table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence-42239760.html)

And according to their documentation the option 2 is the way this is working, as the include needs the Table Spreadsheet Macro.

The Include macro's purpose is to make an excerpt of the spreadsheet on other Confluence pages.

It has the same way of working as the ootb Confluence macro's.

* Excerpt
* Excerpt Include

If you are thinking their should or could be another way, I suggest you to reach out to [Stiltsoft support](https://stiltsoft.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/14) and mention your question.

comments: author: Stiltsoft support
body: Hi [@Matt](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5353636) ,

Indeed the Table Spreadsheet Include macro was developed to reuse the parts of the Table Spreadhseet macro across your Confluence.

The behavior that was kindly explained by [@Marc - Devoteam](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3796976) is correct.

author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

To do this, you need to be named as one of the technical or billing contacts for your install. (one AI told you that you have to log in with the account used to purchase it - that is wrong)

Log into my.atlassian.com and go to products, find your Confluence licence and descend into it. You'll be able to see and edit all the technical and billing contacts for that licence them.

You do not need to "save any changes".

Correct me if I am wrong, excerpt is basically useful when you want to pull information from one page to another to avoid any issue or changes to actual table.

But my problem is when we are entering data on first page it is change the column size and all, which we need to re align manually.

Upgrade confluence and Postgres DB version?
Asked by V MALLIKARJUNA:

Currently we are using Confluence 6.15.9v \& Postgresql 9.3.25 Version

we are planning to upgrade confluence from 6.15.x to 7.19.x version

Postgres 9.3.25 is not supported for confluence 7.19.x version

how we can upgrade DB \& Confluence


Answers:
author: Ravina
body: Hi [@V MALLIKARJUNA](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5294859) Upgrading the local installed database is a tricky and error pone method so I will recommend that do not upgrade the existing database if you don't have dedicated DBA team, as you plan to upgrade to 7.19.x from 6.15.x and 7.19.x is supported to PostgreSQL 11 not less than that.

My recommendation is to install the PostgreSQL 11 version database by uninstalling the the existing if you want to install the database locally, check if you OS is supported the PostgreSQL 11 as there will be lot of database dependency issues you will face, but you can install those dependencies and install the PostgreSQL 11.

If your org is okay to connect your application to the database created on cloud instances like AWS, Azure, etc then please try that option and create a database there and upgrade the existing Confluence to v 7.19.x and then connect the database to this newly created database, before upgrading the Confluence take a XML backup from the instance and once you connect the same to new database then import that XML backup to the new database.

You can import the XML backup exported from the lower version of Confluence to the higher version.

Note: Perform all these changes in the Stage/lower instances to confirm if everything works fine and then plat the production upgrade.

You can follow the below documents for the database and Confluence upgrade

<https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/pgupgrade.html>

confiform Formview fields resorting
Asked by Barry Smyth:

I have a formview setup, and the layout is exactly as I want it. However when I click in the first field the fields on the formview change order. I have no idea why this is happening.

When I look at the field in question on the formview (dataentry mode) there is a sort button appearing beside the field, but I have NOT got any sort options set.

I've checked the field definitions, the field rules, the formview, the table view, the view controls, the edit controls and there are no sort options set anywhere.

Does anyone know why this is happening? What could be causing it and how to fix it so that the formview fields do not reorder themselves??

How can I format Action Items in Confluence Wiki and upload them with the REST API?
Asked by Steve Gredell:

I was able to create and upload a "markdown-ish" document to Confluence Cloud, using the Conflunce Python API and setting the page representation as "wiki"

However one thing that I have not yet figured out is how to insert a checkbox, i.e. an action item.   

I was able to find this page which has excellent documentation on most of what I needed: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-wiki-markup-251003035.html>  

However, it does not describe the markup for creating a checkbox/action item, is it possible to do this?

Does CVE-2023-22518 impact Confluence 5.8.2
Asked by Craig Goldsmith:

We are very close to migrating off a old legacy Confluence instance that is currently running 5.8.2. It's internally hosted and limited to only intranet access, so no public access.

I wanted to confirm 5.8.2 is impacted by [CVE-2023-22518 and if so is this mitigation still applicable to our environment.](https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2023-22518)

Thanks.

==================

Mitigation

This is possible at the network layer or by making the following changes to Confluence configuration files.

1. On each node, modify /\<confluence-install-dir\>/confluence/WEB-INF/web.xml and add the following block of code (just before the \</web-app\> tag at the end of the file):

\<security-constraint\> \<web-resource-collection\> \<url-pattern\>/json/setup-restore.action\</url-pattern\> \<url-pattern\>/json/setup-restore-local.action\</url-pattern\> \<url-pattern\>/json/setup-restore-progress.action\</url-pattern\> \<http-method-omission\>\*\</http-method-omission\> \</web-resource-collection\> \<auth-constraint /\>\</security-constraint\>

2.   
   2. Restart Confluence.

Not connecting your instance to the internet (no public access) will make your instance not vulnerable.

See point 2 in mitigation.

The configuration file changes are only applicable to point 3 in the mitigation section.

SO in relation that your are not externally able to access Confluence, mitigation point 2will apply to your instance

Is there a way to give a group full admin access to all confluence spaces?
Asked by Brandon Santa Elena:

Hi all,

Basically we have a user who we want to give confluence admin to our entire confluence domain. Our typical default schema has an admin group that is added across our domain, including our jira / service management spaces.

This new group is exclusively for admin access on confluence only, however is there a way to have this group get added with admin permissions to existing spaces on confluence?

As of now this group is having to ask me to add that group to each space they need, which seems counterproductive/defeats the purpose of giving a group "admin" permissions in the first place, as even though I gave the group confluence admin, i still need to add that group individually to every space.

Am i missing something or is that actually what we need to do?


Answers:
author: Linh Pham_Ricksoft_Inc
body: Hi [@Brandon Santa Elena](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4761126)

You may consider giving "Product admin" access to this user (only Confluence), you can then check the global settings to make sure this group has default space admin access:
