Confluence API user avatar
Asked by gorlov:

How can I set user avatar in confluence using it's API and python?

EDIT

Alright, I found an endpoint while using confuence in browser.

[https://conf.example.ru/rest/user-profile/1.0/iserID/avatar/upload](https://conf.olegb.ru/rest/user-profile/1.0/iserID/avatar/upload)

Where can I found any docs about this endpoint? I feel like confluence has a billion different api's with like 30% documentation for each.

EDIT

I'm now trying to use this endpoint with no documentation. I'm using python requests:

requests.post('<https://conf.example.ru/rest/user-profile/1.0/userID/avatar/upload>', auth=HTTPBasicAuth('user', 'pass'))

And it returns 403 which means incorrect credentials, but they are correct, I copy pasted them from login page. What should I do. Documentation still needed.


Answers:
author: gorlov
body: Alright, I've managed to do it. Turns out, that creds were correct, but I didn't provide any image data. Now It works. Just want to make clear that I figured out how to do it using f12 in browser and then, after getting the correct endpoint (which I couldn't find anywhere else), I've figured how to use it with no documentation. Thanks Obama.

comments: author: harry
body: Hi gorlov, it is very encouraging to hear that you managed to get this endpoint to work in 2020. I have been having issues using it and would really appreciate you posting more details regarding how you accomplished this (maybe with an example). Like you said there is virtually no documentation for this endpoint anywhere and any insight you could provide would be helpful to me and other people facing this problem.


author: harry
body: ```
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import xmlrpc.client

server = xmlrpc.client.ServerProxy('{confluence_url}/rpc/xmlrpc')
token = server.confluence1.login('username', 'password')
photo_data = xmlrpc.client.Binary(open(PHOTO_PATH,'rb').read())
picture_added = server.confluence1.addProfilePicture(token, username, image_name, 'image/png', photo_data)
 
```

I thought I would add an update as I found this issue very frustrating. This is a way that works with python3. picture_added is true if the profile picture for username was successfully changed. I hope this helps someone.

I created an <Unrestricted> space, but my college can't see it
Asked by Mihaela Domsa:

Hi,

I created a documentation space and selected the option "No restrictions" from "Edit restriction".

-\> But my college can't see the space.

I also opened "Permissions Management" - click on "Spatial Tools" and selected "Permissions" in the sidebar to manage what users are seeing.  
-\> But my college can't see the space.

The only way my college sees my workspace is to create a "team space" and add my entire college there.

My questions are: If I created a "documentation space", why is the "Edit Restriction" option visible, if it doesn't work?

When you create space, please check the space permission associated with space and user. **View** gives you permission to access the content in this space, and see it in the space directory and other places like the dashboard.

Please refer below document for your reference.

Force feedback from user for downloading attachment
Asked by Berry Kersten:

We have a usecase where it is mandatory for users to fill in a reason for downloading certain attachments.

For example, we have a space that is limited to a usergroup. In that space there are some files that users can download. We want that users must fill in a reason before the file can be downloaded (eg. in a form).

Ideas anyone? Thanks!


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello [@Berry Kersten](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1321968) !

This is an interesting use case you have at hand.

What I have to tell you is that natively, there is no such "++*Forced Feedback*++" path. I also checked our marketplace but was also unable to find anything that fits your needs. You can take a look here:
> * [++**\[Atlassian Marketplace\] Confluence Server**++](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?hosting=server&product=confluence&query=attachment)

What I can see as a way to achieve something similar, is activating the User Access Logging option in your instance. You should be able to check your Confluence Logs and see, in realtime, what each user is doing.
> * ++**[\[Confluence Server\] How to Enable User Access Logging](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-enable-user-access-logging-182943.html)**++

After that, you could get or build a log parser and check for every occurrence of file download in the user access logs. Here is where you can get the logs from Confluence:
> * ++**[\[Confluence Cloud\] Working with Confluence Logs](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/working-with-confluence-logs-108364721.html)**++

I am not really familiar with the work behind log parsers, so my assistance is limited on this front. I hope this shines some light into your path, Berry!

Looking forward to your reply.

Space Templates in Google Chrome
Asked by Jessica Baldry:

So up until recently we have been utilising the Global Templates to create our pages in Confluence. Our administrator has now advised that we need to transition to Space Templates.

My current experience so far is that the Space Templates are quite limited in formatting options compared to the Global options.

Additionally it would seem that there are a few bugs when using Google Chrome.

- Unable to edit the template in Chrome. The edit page does not load.

- No text wrapping, instead needing to scroll across the page rather than just wrapping down the page.

- Checkbox text does not grey out when checked off.

- Formatting in general is quite limited.

Has anyone got any suggestions in how to make this experience less frustrating.


Answers:
author: Jessica Baldry
body: Hi Davin,

**Editing Template Pages**

Microsoft Edge Space Template Edit Options - See below.

![Confluence.PNG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/83711i77FB38A2B1577964/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Confluence.PNG")

Google Chrome does not support the Edit of templates under Space Settings \> User Created Templates. I can access the list of templates, however, when I click on Edit of that particular template the screen goes nowhere.

**Editing Published Pages**

Microsoft Edge - Has the above edit options on a published page also.

Google Chrome - Has the below options for Global Templates which have been published.

![Confluence - Chrome Global Template.PNG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/83708i4D1F58D854DF6B66/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Confluence - Chrome Global Template.PNG")

Essentially the ability to indent text is not available. This is particularly evident with the Checkboxes and the dot points. We are now unable to have multiple levels of either of these.

The text colours available in the Space Template are very limited compared to the global template. There is only 7 colours and don't include standards like Red and Dark Blue.

With checkboxes, when you check the checkbox, the text no longer greys out anymore. It stays the same colour.

The TOC option in edge seems to have a bug as when the site is published and you click on a heading it goes to the heading and then straight back to the top of the page. This does not occur in Chrome.

These are only some of the items which we have encountered.

If you are able to provide any solutions or context that would be greatly appreciated.


author: Davin Studer
body: Global template and space template should have the same features. The only difference is the scope in which they are available. Are you seeing this issue in only Chrome or are other browsers affected? Do you have any screenshots that you could share that show the issue?

How do you add a link in roadmap to a title on the same page?
Asked by Ann Fitzgerald:

Hi I am looking to link essential an anchor from a comment on the roadmap to a matrix on the same page. Is this possible, and is there a workaround, like adding a title?

Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello [@Ann Fitzgerald](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2013174) !

As I understand, you need to create an anchor to a specific part of your page in Confluence.

Your assumption about titles is pretty close to what we can do. Currently, in Confluence Cloud we have an option that allows us to create anchors to the headings we create inside a page. Here is an excerpt of our documentation:

> *Heading links use a combination of the three character space identifier and the page ID along with the page name and header name.* *If you only need to get the URL that takes viewers to a heading, do the following:*
>
> 1. *Navigate to the page and scroll down to the heading.*
> 2. *Hover over the heading to reveal the link icon to the left of the heading.*
> 3. *Click the link icon to copy the link.*
> 4. *Navigate to and edit the page where you want to link to the heading.*
> 5. *Paste the URL in the link tool pop-up, and give it a more friendly name if desired.*
>
> *If you need to create several links to headings on a page, it's more efficient to get the page URL and construct the heading portion yourself.*
>
> 1. *Navigate to and view the page containing the heading.*
> 2. *Copy the page URL for future use. Keep in mind that the page URL capitalization must match the page title capitalization. Spaces in the page title are replaced with a plus ( + ).*

> 4. *Navigate to and edit the page where you want to link to the headings.*
> 5. *Paste the page URL in the link tool pop-up, add the page heading title, and give it a more friendly name if desired. Keep in mind that the heading part of the URL must match the capitalization of the page heading. Spaces in the heading title are replaced with a hyphen ( - ).*

Confluence create Jira issue question

Hi, I am wondering if the shortcut in confluence when you select text and it give option to make a jira issue out of it can be modified. I would like to have more entry fields pop up rather than just 'project' and 'summary'. I would like to fill in 'issue type', 'component', and 'assignee' as well.

However, I'm afraid that the ability to map additional fields beyond the basic ones it's not available since the [CONFSERVER-31867](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-31867) hasn't been resolved yet.

Creating a Non-Structured Space
Asked by Three-eyed_Rat:

While one of Confluence's strength when compared to, say, MediaWiki, is its space and page structure, I need to create a space without any structure (no parent/children relationships between pages).

While I could probably leave things as is without too much trouble, I worry that, down the line, I'll end up with a string of Parent/Child pages.

Is there any way to force a Confluence space to adopt a Wiki-like structure?

Thanks!


Answers:
author: Craig Castle-Mead
body: Hi [@Three-eyed_Rat](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3764359)

All pages in confluence require a parent, or, they can just sit in the top of the node tree (effectively the parent is just the space).
