Welcome to the Atlassian Community! We focus on questions about Atlassian products like Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, etc. While Confluence has blogging, I'm not 100% sure you're asking about Confluence. Can you confirm if it's for Confluence or for something else?

Thanks!

author: Daniel Eads
body: We unfortunately don't have a way for blog posts to be published at a future date.

As for different departments publishing in the same space - there are a few marketplace add-ons that allow you do categorize posts in different ways. For example, [Lively Blogs for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1213057/lively-blogs-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview) allows you to add categories to blog posts that can be browsed pretty easily.

I would recommend taking a look at [all the blog-related addons on Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?product=confluence&query=blog) to see what add-ons can extend Confluence to meet what you'd like to do with blogs.

Cheers,

Contact Atlassian and quote the SEN (Support Entitlement Number) seen on the screen. Ask for the technical contact used to buy the license. Use your official email address to communicate with them, mostly they should be able to help.

The following link should be helpful :

It is posible to receive a notification when a page is include with the include page macro?
Asked by Miriam:

It is posible to receive a notification when a page is include with the include page macro?


Answers:
author: Tony Gough _Adaptavist_
body: Hi Miriam \& Shannon,

Unfortunately Notifications for ScriptRunner won't satisfy this requirement. The main intention behind Notifications is to make it easier for users to manage the content they are watching, and in turn the content they receive notifications for.

The requirement is a tricky one. It would be possible to come up with a solution for this using ScriptRunner, which provides the ability to write custom scripts which can access Confluence's Java API. It would not be a trivial script to write, though. At a high level, you would need to do the following:

1) Create an Event Listener which triggers on PageUpdateEvents.

2) The event handler code should retrieve the triggering page's body content and search for the presence of the Include macro.

3) You could then search the raw macro xhtml for the parameter value returning the included page.

4) At this point you could send email notifications or take other actions as required.

We don't have a specific custom scripting example for this use case, but you can find other examples along with further information on ScriptRunner in our documentation:

<https://scriptrunner.adaptavist.com/latest/confluence/quickstart.html>

Kind regards,  
Tony

comments: author: Shannon S
body: Tony,

Thank you so much for the detailed explanation! It's really appreciated.

Regards,

Shannon


author: Shannon S
body: Hello Miriam,

Welcome to Community. It's nice to meet you.

This isn't a feature built into Confluence, but you might be able to use an add-on such as [Scriptrunner Notifications](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1218822/notifications-scriptrunner-confluence?hosting=datacenter&tab=overview) for this. I'm not personally familiar with that add-on, but I'm tagging the vendor in case they can confirm that with us.

I've also moved your question to Marketplace in case other users could recommend an add-on that could help to accomplish this.

Regards,

Shannon

Unable to log in with any user account except Administrator
Asked by Robert van der Kruijssen:

Dear Atlassian team,

We're testing out upgrading Confluence from 6.14.1 to 6.15.1 in our staging environment.

After upgrading to 6.15.1 I noticed that none of the users synced from Jira are able to log in anymore. The only user that's able to log in is the Administrator account which is a Confluence local account.

I get the following error trying to log in:
> The following error(s) occurred:

*
  > Sorry, an error occurred trying to log you in. Please try again.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue?


Answers:
author: Robert van der Kruijssen
body: I found what was going on.

When I create a staging machine I make a clone in vSphere and tweak the hosts file.

Apparently the application link between Jira and Confluence is done by IP which of course was still the production system. This was the reason why it wasn't working.

Issue solved.


author: Petr Van??ek
body: Hi,

did you move to another server instance or not? Are applications links working?

Try to check user directory configuration. If it will need try to remove user directory and configure it again.

Let me know

Editor Window is Small After Upgrading to Confluence 6
Asked by abbas baman:

Answers:
author: Daniel Eads
body: Hey Abbas,

This looks similar to an issue that occurred a few years ago when Google Chrome 50 rolled out. We documented that issue as [CONFSERVER-41035](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-41035) and were able to hotfix it by applying some CSS to the "Custom HTML" section in Confluence:

```
<style type="text/css">#content.edit{ display: table-cell; }</style>
```

However, we would have expected this particular problem to not be an issue with later releases of Confluence. Would you be willing to share:

1. What specific version of Confluence you upgraded to
2. Which browser you're using

Confluence - 50 user license - 200 employees
Asked by Mark higgins:

Hello,

All the questions for this problem go back to 2014, so I assume this was changed and I can't find what I'm looking for?

Just like in Jira Service Desk, you have the concept of customers, who do not consume a licence seat, what is the Confluence equivalent?

We have 50 people who are going to be using Confluence for projects/knowledge base/ procedures etc, and 200 people who need to search this information, and I didn't really want to dump in all in the one space?

Or am I just thinking wrong


Answers:
author: Bill Bailey
body: If I understand your question correctly, you will have just 50 users actually making edits? The rest just need to view and search the data?

If that is the case, you just need to turn on anonymous user rights, either at the instance or space level. Those users will not log in, but can view and search the content. Only users needing to edit content will need to log in and consume a license.


author: Petr Van??ek
body: Hi,

for Confluence there is nothing like customer from Service Desk point of view.

You have 2 options:

1. Public space - I know not suitable for customers
2. Connect Confluence to Service Desk project as Knowledge Base so customers can find it through Service Desk

How do you disable the automatic index for blueprint templates in Confluence Cloud?
Asked by Christina Trocco:

When a member of my team uses one of the Confluence blueprint templates, it automatically populates an index page for that blueprint.

For example, if someone uses the "How-to articles" template, it automatically creates a page on the sidebar in the space with a page index list of all the pages that have used this template.

We would rather not see this index page - is there a way to disable the blueprint template from automatically doing this?

My company currently uses Confluence Cloud.


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Christina,

Good morning! Thank you for reaching out.

It's not possible to disable this in Cloud, but we do have a feature request for it below:

* [CONFCLOUD-34205](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-34205) *Make it optional for page blueprints to create the index page*

Please vote on the request and watch in order to be updated of any changes!

There's a workaround mentioned on the request, but be advised since you're on Cloud it's not possible to make these kind of modifications since you don't have direct access to the server files.

Include last modified date and user in Page Properties Report for Confluence Cloud
Asked by Rea Baxmann:

Is there a way or workaround to include the last modified date in a Page Properties Report for Confluence Cloud?  

For Server, this question is answered [here](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Include-last-modified-date-and-user-in-Page-Properties-Report/qaq-p/18371) with a workaround by changing the macro. However, this is not a possibility for Confluence Cloud.  

My current workaround is to include a Change History macro in the Page Properties. However this will show \*all\* past versions and will eventually get very long as there is no way to limit the rows displayed in the Change History macro ([feature request](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-32315?_ga=2.146785654.358016405.1554311707-57144967.1551911583)).  

I realize whoever is editing the page could always update the Page Property, but we all know that's not going to happen. Plus, the table is by default sorted by last modified date, so why not make it an option to display this field as well?!  

Another option would be to have a macro that shows the last modified date of the page you're on and I could add that into the original pages' Page Property macro. But surprisingly that doesn't seem to exist either.  

Thanks for any ideas or pointing me to a Jira issue I can upvote.


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello there!

There is currently no real solution for this situation in Cloud, Rea. No other than the one you are already doing.

But there is, in fact, a request in our system that tackles a similar feature:

**[CONFCLOUD-29153 \| Extend Page Properties Report Macro to support displaying 'Creator' and 'Modified' properties](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-29153)**

So, you can vote and watch the request. Voting increases the visibility given to this report and watching will keep you up to date with it!

Looking forward to your reply Rea!

Color of Bar

How do I change a regular installation to a service installation?
Asked by Billy Greer:

I unintentionally installed Confluence as a normal application when I intended to install it as a service. A decent amount of content has already been added to the instance.

Welcome to the Atlassian Community.

Have a look at [Start Confluence automatically on windows as a service](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/start-confluence-automatically-on-windows-as-a-service-172071.html), it describe how to install the service.

comments: author: Billy Greer
body: This did not work for me. I'm guessing it has more to do with an unstable machine than anything else. I do not have a site backup but I do have a backup of the SQL database that was used on the old machine. I have installed Confluence on a new machine (Windows Server 2016). The new machine has an instance of SQL Server with two databases. The database of the new empty site called Confluence and the restored database from the old machine. I'm guessing the old database has all of the content that I created. Can I simply point Confluence to the old database and expect everything to be available or is it more complicated? Also do I just make the change in the confluence.cfg.xml file? Is there only one confluence.cfg.xml file?

Thanks

Task Report Macro asignee blacklist
Asked by test test:

Hi, is there a way to NOT display tasks which are assigned to a specific user in a Task Report Macro? (ie. a blacklist)


Answers:
author: Jonathan Smith
body: [@test test](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1649858) ,

Based on the Task Report parameters, the out of the box macro will display all tasks, all tasks for a space, or all tasks for a specific person.

If you are interested in a paid add-on, the [Table Filter Macro](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) can be wrapped around the Task Report macro. You can then set the default values for the assignee field. You can then bypass the necessary user from here.

I only point out this vendor because this is what I have installed. There may be other options on the marketplace.

Export documentation to word, pictures missing
Asked by AXACOM:

We use Confluence for system documentations and invested a lot of work creating all the pages.

When exporting the documentations with all the sub-pages into word, we miss the most of the attached pictures. All we see is a placeholder, but not the actual picture itself.

We even can export a single page and do get the same result. Also various plugins don't solve the problem.

What causes this problem and how can it be solved?


Answers:
author: Manon Soubies-Camy
body: Hello [@AXACOM](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1116395)

How many images are you exporting? You can't have more than 50 images per export (see [CONFSERVER-34211](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-34211)). And which plugins did you try? I don't think [Scroll Word Exporter for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/24982/scroll-word-exporter-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview) has this limitation, so you can give it a try.

Hope this helps,

Can I embed Jira Reports in Confluence Pages?
Asked by Dami?n S?nchez Moreno:

I want to embed Jira reports into Confluence pages or Confluence Blueprints to generate reports. Both instances of the tools are Cloud.

I am aware of [this](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-bring-jira-and-jira-agile-reports-into-confluence-779163801.html) page for Server and [this](https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/functional-differences-in-atlassian-cloud-744721664.html) page for differences with the Cloud version, however, neither page is particularly helpful.

How were you exporting your content -- were you using the native Confluence exporter or a third party app, such as or own Scroll Exporter apps?

Additionally, were you using Confluence Server or Cloud?

I know on Confluence Cloud that images can be prevented from being exported with Scroll PDF Exporter or Scroll Word Exporter due to a **/** character being included in the page title. This is a known issue that Atlassian has created an issue for and you can track it here: <https://ecosystem.atlassian.net/browse/CE-735>

I have tried both ways. First I exported with the exporter from Confluence. I also tried the 3rd party app Scroll Exporter. This export is only showing placeholders instead of the actual image, but does show Gliffy diagrams created within Confluence.

We are running Confluence on our own Linux server.
