Copy scorecard into another project
Asked by Patrick Thomas:

I have scorecards in a particular project which require multiple duplication into other similar projects. I don't wish to link the various projects, and so I need to always construct a new scorecard. It would be far simpler to be able to duplicate the scorecard in another project.


Answers:
author: Aron Gombas _Midori_
body: I'm not sure if I correctly understand the problem, but you can create a content once (and avoid duplicating it), then you can insert that into any other space using the *Include* macro assuming you have the required permissions.
How to check if certain user has "PERSONAL SPACE" permission using confluence java api?
Asked by Olexandr Polinkevych:

above...


Answers:
author: Santwana Sarangi {Appfire}
body: Hi [@Olexandr Polinkevych](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1224748),

You can use the following api to check whether a user has personal space permission

```
SpacePermissionManager.hasPermission(SpacePermission.PERSONAL_SPACE_PERMISSION, null, <confluence user>)
```

Here the second argument is space. As personal space is a global permission, space is null indicating the global permission.

**Reference:** <https://docs.atlassian.com/atlassian-confluence/6.6.0/com/atlassian/confluence/security/SpacePermissionManager.html#hasAllPermissions-java.util.List-com.atlassian.confluence.spaces.Space-com.atlassian.user.User->

and

(Confleunce-OD) How to enforce Sidebar State?
Asked by Matthew Walters:

My team and I are undertaking a piece of work to standardise the layout of our company's team spaces hosted on Confluence On-Demand however; we're becoming quite frustrated by the tendency for Confluence's dynamic page resizing causing pleasant UIs to go bad.

This pretty much revolves around the ability for users to choose whether their sidebar is expanded or collapsed, and Confluence's automatic resizing of page content to accommodate.

If we design a page layout for a collapsed nav-bar; individuals using the expanded nav-bar see pages including crushed content / information moving to new lines / other unexpected or unintentional breaks to the designed layout. Conversely, if we design for an expanded nav-bar; individuals using the collapsed nav-bar see relatively sparse pages with content being stretched out to accommodate the additional space.

The latter approach also reduces our ability to use layout macros effectively (e.g. Section / Column) as the side-bar sometimes takes up a considerable amount of page space. Is there a way to enforce the nav-bars state (collapsed / expanded) within Confluence OD?

Having this option would at least give the admins some confidence that a page's layout will be relatively consistent across users and display in line with what was intended. I can see several references to way this can be done in Server but am beginning to suspect this may be restricted in OD.


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hi Matthew,

Indeed, it's not possible to set a forced state for the sidebar in Confluence Cloud.

It is by our intention that users are able to collapse and expand the sidebar to their preferences.

Thank you for your understanding.

Regards,

Shannon

How can i set my Page Text to be single spaced?
Asked by teggenberger:

After i create a new page I paste single-spaced text (paragraph) from notepad.

The text somehow gets pasted as what appears to be 'double-spaced'. This takes up too much room on the page.

Shouldn't there be a formatting option to adjust the line spacing?

For example, 'select' multiple lines of text, then set that selection (and only that selection) to a desired line spacing.

Can someone suggest a fix?

I'm aware of the 'Shift-Enter' option but i don't want to have to do that for each line of a large text block.

Thanks.


Answers:
author: Bill Bailey
body: In short, no. This is philosophical difference in that Confluence being HTML based and not a word processor. And Confluence chose to have items like spacing set by CSS at the global/space level. The editor just doesn't support this kind of local formatting control.

My suspicion is that you are pasting in carriage returns at the end of each line (probably \</br\>).

If you could paste a snippet of the page code (from the storage view - ... -\> View Storage Format). Then we can see what is actually getting pasted into your doc.

comments: author: teggenberger
body: Thank Bill, you were correct, look like some \</br\> formatting.

When a change to a page or space is made, it's not sending the email notification.
Asked by Kristen Hata:

The email notifications are working for other spaces, but for some reason have stopped completely with ONE particular space. How do i get the email notifications to work again?


Answers:
author: Kristen Hata
body: I found this too, but still not getting notification for those particular pages:

<https://research.atlassian.net/wiki/users/editmyemailsettings.action>


author: Davin Studer
body: That I know of there is no settings for disabling notification for a particular space. Here is what I would check.

* Check that you are indeed watching either the space or pages in the space.
* Check your spam filter to see if it is catching it.
* Check that users are keeping the "Notify watchers" checkbox checked.
* Notifications are only sent when the page is published not when changed are made to a draft and the draft is simply closed.

Could any of those things be in play?

comments: author: Kristen Hata
body: 1.) Check

2.) Check

3.) Check

4.) Check

Still no email. And it's only for two spaces...all other spaces aren't effected. That's what is so strange. It was set up the same way the other were set up. That's why i was wondering if there was a particular way of disabling notifications (that'd be the only explanation).

Add space to a numbered line
Asked by colette martin-wilde:

iOS Safari wrong Login Prompt
Asked by Mediendatenverarbeitung:

Hi,

we are currently creating an intranet page to which all employees in the network should have anonymous access. If the employees do this from their iPhone with Safari (iOS 11 and 12), they always get a login screen.  
The solution of deactivating the Mobile PlugIn is not successful.  
We use the PlugIn Theme Press (Briket) and version 6.11 from Confluence.  
It's not a solution to use the Confluence app, because the Confluence interface is adapted to our CI.  
What do we have to do?


Answers:

body: Hi there,

I believe you have seen this, but it's related to the following bug:

* [CONFSERVER-43776](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-43776) *Confluence mobile version serves up login screen even when the anonymous access is enabled*

There's an additional workaround you hadn't mentioned, which is to use Firefox or Safari when browsing to the site. Can you confirm that you no longer receive the login screen when using one of those browsers?

Create a button that will publish new page and email participants?
Asked by tiaan.schulz:

I want to create a button on a WIKI page, that when the information entered on the page is completed, the user clicks the button, and this will then trigger the publish action and also send out a email to the next participant in the process?


Answers:
author: Davin Studer
body: How is this different than what is currently built in to the system? Users can watch a page and when you are done editing the page you hit the publish button in the editor and the watchers get notified of the change?

comments: author: tiaan.schulz
body: The users of this page will be starting a process to carry of through a specific life cycle. They can't watch the page for us and also the other side of this is also to automate this as much as possible.

They do step 1, hit submit, trigger then email to second part of process and team to continue.

I hope that makes more sense of the difference of why what is currently part of default process and functionality won't work.

List pages linked to specific jira issue?
Asked by Philipp Olovsson:

Hi,

I would like to show a list of pages on a confluence page which have a connection to a specific issue.

For example:

Page A, B and C are linked to the jira issue ISSUE-1

On Page D I want to insert a dynamic table, which shows all pages which have a link to ISSUE-1

There's somethin similar possible with labels (macro is called 'content by label').

In my case, I would need a macro like 'content by jira-link'

Is there a way to achieve this with Confluence and Jira without extra plugins?

Phil


Answers:
author: Stephen Sifers
body: Hello Philipp and welcome to the Community!

Integrating Jira and Confluence can be powerful when creating reporting and linking issues. Majority of the linking of Confluence pages to Jira issues is weighted more on the Jira side. This means that you are able to look within Jira to find all Confluence pages linked to an issue and other Jira issues linked, but out of the box there is not a way to see all Confluence pages linked to a Jira issue.

This type of functionality is supported by add-on although, as you stated, this would not meet your requirements. There is a similar feature request that would give you this type of functionality within Confluence. We would suggest you vote and watch feature request [CONFSERVER-31348](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-31348) to get updates on its status.

If you did want to re-evaluate add-ons, there are plenty of available add-ons which extend JQL functionality to allow for this type of searching. Please see the [Atlassian Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com) for all of the add-ons available.

I hope you find this helpful and it answers your question.

Regards,

Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hi there,

We won't be able to tell you what's wrong with the font specifically, but you could run into issues if you obtained the font from an untrusted source.

Since you're having this issue in Cloud, we would recommend that you create an issue with the [Cloud Support Team](https://support.atlassian.com/contact/#/). That way they can check your server logs and let you know what error Confluence is running into that might cause the problem you're seeing.

Regards,

Shannon

author: Shannon S
body: You're welcome. I want to mention that I am assuming you are using Cloud Confluence only because that's how your question is tagged, but the URL you provided that includes the font is NOT a Cloud instance.

If your instance is not a Cloud instance, then actually you will want to access your [Confluence server logs](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/working-with-confluence-logs-108364721.html) yourself and then you will be able to review them to determine the issue with your font.

As for if you ever need to contact support again and cannot find the link, it is available from the top of [Atlassian.com](https://www.atlassian.com):

![Screen Shot 2018-11-22 at 11.23.30 AM.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/38298iD53E2D2298B6306B/image-dimensions/826x353?v=v2 "Screen Shot 2018-11-22 at 11.23.30 AM.png")If you click that, it will take you to support.atlassian.com, and you will find there a link at the top that says **Create** and that will be where you can raise a ticket.

You can also raise a request via your Confluence instance itself [if you're on Server](https://confluence.atlassian.com/support/create-a-support-request-790796816.html) or by following this document for[Confluence Cloud](https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/get-help-and-support-744721659.html).
