Create blog post from template via link or button?
Asked by Jan Priebe:

We are using the [Templates for Blogposts addon](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1217068/templates-for-blog-posts-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview). Now we would like to enable users to create a blog from a template using a button or link, just like it can be done with the native macro "Create from Template" for pages.

This macro would always create a page though. Can anybody help me to create the necessary URL I would need to use for the link or button?

In the [Confluence URL list](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/confluence-url-list-317949394.html) I found this entry for creating a page from template:

\<confluence-url\>/pages/createpage-choosetemplate.action?spaceKey=\<spaceKey\>\&newspaceKey=\<spaceKey\>\&fromPageId=\<pageId\>

Does anybody know if this is possible for blogs, too?

```
If you want to try, replace the CAPS text in the steps below with your own values

1. Went to my personal space overview:
? ? ?https://SITE_NAME.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/~SPACE_NUMBER/overview
2. Copy SPACE_NUMBER to the clipboard.
3. Delete everything starting with /spaces to the end of the url.
4. Replace what you deleted with /pages/createblogpost.action?spaceKey=SPACE_NUMBER

That new URL can now be bookmarked as a "Create new blog post" shortcut.
```

Embed Smartsheet into confluence workspace for cloud APPs
Asked by Ansar Muhammad:

I am trying to change the title for the root workspace for confluence. Could not find an option. Please can you guide? Thanks


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Ansar,

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

I would like some clarification on what you are trying to do.

1. Your title is asking to embed a smartsheet into Confluence. Could you elaborate on this?
2. Second, you want to change the title for the "root workspace". Are you trying to change the title of one of your spaces, or are you asking to change the URL of your Cloud instance? If I know exactly what it is you're trying to change then I can help you with that.

Regards,

Shannon

comments: author: Ansar Muhammad
body: Hi there,

Please ignore the title as I got confused while creating the ticket

For point 2, I am just trying to change the Title for the root workspace. Please see the attached image which shows "Kashif Barlas" as root. Instead I would like it to read "FMK".

Thanks![CONFLUENCE.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/59714i821F719B6713D7E4/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "CONFLUENCE.png")


author: Shannon S
body: Hello Ansar,

Thank you for clarifying. In order to change the name of any of your Confluence spaces, you need to navigate to the space itself, and do the following:

1.
   > Choose **Space settings**
2.
   > Change the space name:
   1.
      > Choose **Edit space details**
   2.
      > Type in a new space name and **Save**

See [Customize Your Space](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/customize-your-space-724764768.html) for more details.

Let me know if you have any trouble!

Shannon

Official Confluence Data Center Docker image
Asked by Alfa-Bank Atlassian Team:

Hello!

I found official docker image of confluence but its for server version. Do you know where i can find image for data center?

Here (from Dave Chevell) <https://bitbucket.org/dchevell/> also not.


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hi there!

Thank you for contacting us about this. Confluence Data Center is not officially supported on Docker, thus the lack of official data center image. You would need to build your own from the Data Center installation.

Another thing you need to consider is there can be conflicts when running multiple nodes on a single server, so if you weren't going to have a separate Docker image for each node. They're all listening on the same port so this can cause issues. Have a look at [Starting a Confluence Cluster on a Single Machine](https://developer.atlassian.com/server/confluence/starting-a-confluence-cluster-on-a-single-machine/) for details on how to get around that.

Let us know if you have any questions.

Shannon

We are running successfully Confluence Data Center inside Docker on different nodes.

At the moment we have a separate docker-compose.yml for every node and start them individually.

I suggest you to build your own image with needed config from <https://hub.docker.com/r/atlassian/confluence-server/>

1. Create the space for you, or
2. Give you permission to create spaces.

For managing watches, do you not have a menu item similar to "Watches"?

Can I limit access to confluence public space for single group
Asked by Krzysztof Lewczuk:

I have public space where all **confluence-users** has access to add/edit pages, comments etc. I need to limit some privileges for single group i.e. intern where member can read but not edit pages.

It is possible with current confluence-users or I have to add new group where all members (excluding intern) will be present? I tried remove group confluence-users from members intern group but then they lose access to confluence.

best regards, Krzysiek


Answers:

body: Hi [@Krzysztof Lewczuk](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3435474) ,

I would not grant the editing permission to confluence-users but do the following:

* create two new groups: interns and members
* add your interns to the interns group and all the others to the members group
* change your permissions:
  * remove the confluence-users from the space permissions
  * add members to the space permissions as you used the confluence-users before
  * add interns to the space permissions with read-only permissions

Can you verify the resolutions as mentioned [here](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/confluence-does-not-start-due-to-spring-application-context-has-not-been-set-218278311.html)?

You need to give proper permissions to the Database as well as the Installation/Home Directory.

User can create a page, but not edit it
Asked by Swathi Sainadh:

Hi,

I've given proper Space Permission (View and Add Page) to a User Group, and a user from that group is able to create a page in the Space but the 'Edit' button is not available on page i.e., any page of that Space and the page created by that user as well.

What's weird is I have another User Group which has same set of permissions on the Space, but the user from this User Group is able to Create and Edit Pages.

And none of the pages in that Space have any restrictions.

I'm using Refined Theme for Confluence, not sure if this is impacting the functionality in any way. I have non-theme instance and everything works well there.

Anybody else facing this issue?

I am using page properties report macro and want to display page properties of all pages under 1 but not anything under 1.2. I have the option of using "with ancestors" but I cannot exclude any ancestors. Listing each ancestor will not be dynamic nor ideal.

I've been given permission to access a page, but it still appears as restricted
Asked by Emily Dolan:

My manager created a page within Confluence, and I then populated it with information. Now returning from a few weeks' leave, I no longer seem to have access to the page. I've clicked "Request access from the author" and my manager has granted the access, however I'm still getting the "This is a restricted page" message.

Even before granting access, my manager looked at page permissions and my name was on the list for full access - the page just wasn't visible through my login.


Answers:
author: Emily Dolan
body: Hi [@Emily Dolan](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3434286) ,

comments: author: Emily Dolan
body: Hi Sravya,

I just clicked through to that area and it listed me with permission to both view and edit. I clicked on the little unlocked padlock on the side ("Remove Restrictions"), it took me to a page that said the page is restricted due to restrictions on the parent page.

I can't find the parent page, or who owns it..?

Thanks!

Notification
Asked by Kevin:

Is there anyway to route all of the article changes to the notification button within Confluence instead of emailing the changes?


Answers:
author: Shannon S

Thank you for contacting us about this. Could you confirm with me if by "notification button" you're referring to the [Workbox Notifications](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/workbox-notifications-284365963.html)?

From my understanding, you don't want emails about changes anymore but you still want to see them in your Workbox Notifications. Is that right?

If this is right, then there's not a way to do that at this time. We have the following feature requests for Confluence Server and Cloud:

* [CONFSERVER-26672](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-26672) *Ability to turn off email notifications and use Workbox (in-app notifications)*
* [CONFCLOUD-26672](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-26672) (Cloud version of the same request)

I encourage you to vote on the issue. You will then be added to the list of watchers and be notified of any changes.

How to display SVG images
Asked by Giovanni Tirloni:

I can add them just fine and they show correctly in the edit area.

However, after saving, they show as "Broken Image".


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Giovanni,

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

Can you tell me the size of your SVG image? It appears that there's a bug at the moment where resized SVG images below 301px are breaking:

* [CONFCLOUD-40672](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-40672) *Confluence File Preview does not allow setting custom size for SVG format*

Please confirm if that appears to be the same issue you've run into.

Regards,

Shannon

comments: author: Giovanni Tirloni
body: I think the SVG images don't have a size per se because they are redrawn dynamically.

However, I've set the thumbnail to 800px here. I've tried other sizes (e.g. 511px large) with no luck.


author: Shannon S
body: Hello Giovanni,

You'll be able to change the initial size by editing the SVG file in a text editor. I've tested this with my own SVG, but actually even if I make it smaller than 301 I am not able to replicate the issue, so it might be something else with your SVG file.

Can you confirm that 100% of your SVG files, no matter what size, aren't able to be previewed or viewed directly on the page? Does this happen in more than one browser for more than one user?

Are you testing with the new editing experience (publish button at the top) or the old (publish button at the bottom)?

Regards,

Shannon


author: Giovanni Tirloni
body: 100% of my SVG files, no matter what size, are not being previewed directly on the page. They are previewed correctly in edit mode though.

This happens with Firefox 67 and Chrome 75.

The edit page shows the publish button at the bottom (Confluence Cloud).


author: Shannon S
body: Giovanni,

Thank you for confirming. Can you test it with the new editor as well and tell me if you have the same issue? To do this, when creating a page, select the **New Editing Experience**. I had a much better experience when embedding an SVG in the new editor, whereas the SVG wouldn't even preview inline using the old editor. I didn't get the same broken image as you but it was still much better with the new editor.

Regards,

Shannon

Status Without Text
Asked by BI Analytics:

Hi,

Was using status macro earlier without giving any text but now without text not able to use this macro.

Is there any other way out ?


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello there,

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

Previously, the status macro would just default the name of the color chosen. In the new editor in Confluence Cloud, which is what I think you might be referring to, it requires you type some text. At the least, you could include the name of the color as it had done in the past, or a single word, such as high, medium, low.

If you do not want to have any text there, then you could use something else in place of this, such as one of the productivity-related emoji:

![Screenshot 2019-07-04 at 14.23.46.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/59638i7D91A85ED77DD57F/image-dimensions/316x270?v=v2 "Screenshot 2019-07-04 at 14.23.46.png")
