Server version of multiexcerpt include
Asked by Peter Hache:

Hello, is there a Server version equivalent to the Cloud version of the MultiExcerpt Include macro, or is there a way to use the MultiExcerpt macro to the same end.


Answers:
author: Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}
body: Hi [@Peter Hache](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4619055) ,

We can also suggest trying our [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview) app and its [Table Excerpt/Table Excerpt Include](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Excerpt+and+Table+Excerpt+Include+macros) macros.

You'll be able to collect multiple excerpts (text, tables with many rows, etc.) from the same page, page and child pages, page and all descendants and pages with labels.


author: Matthias Gaiser _K15t_
body: Hi [@Peter Hache](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4619055),

welcome to the Atlassian Community.

Are you talking about the MultiExcerpt macro provided by the [marketplace app by Artemis](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/169/multiexcerpt?hosting=datacenter&tab=overview). If yes, this is available for Server/Data Center as you can see on the marketplace listing.

Cheers,  
Matthias.

comments: author: Bill Bailey
body: Just to second [@Matthias Gaiser _K15t_](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/853318) comment, yes, the multiexcerpt existed for the server well before it was available on the Cloud. I am a current user of the server version.


author: Peter Hache
body: thank you for your prompt response, my understanding was that there were two macros that worked together, the MultiExcerpt and the MultiExcerpt Include macros. My question was perhaps not clear, I was inquiring as to the availability of the MultiExcerpt Include macro for Server/Data Center.


author: Bill Bailey
body: THe two macros work as a pair. One is useless without the other.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Yep.

* Excerpt - flags an area as an excerpt
* Excerpt-include - uses the excerpt flag to pull in the block of page that excerpt flags

Given that, you can see that [@Bill Bailey](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/502089) is totally right - one is useless without the other. (and both pairs work on server and cloud)

The Multi-excerpt app allows you to put more than one excerpt on a page, and hence demands that you say which one you want when you reference a page that has more than one, but it's the same idea.

(Oh, and include and excerpt appeared in Confluence 1.0. If memory serves, mulit-excerpt was one of the first apps for Confluence. And all of those pre-dates Cloud by several years and all got rolled into Cloud as soon as)

How can I get literal text in Confluence, without markup
Asked by Lorin LaFoe:

\* is used for markup for bullets.

But what if I want to document CRON?

\* 0/15 7-19 \* \* \*

Is this even possible or is this a gap?


Answers:
author: Piotr Zadro?ny _Eyzee_
body: Hi [@Lorin LaFoe](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/939923)

You can write for example:

a\* 0/15 7-19 \* \* \* \[ENTER\]

and then up arrow and remove a.

Best regards,

Piotr

comments: author: Lorin LaFoe
body: That worked, thanks

Seems a lot like taking advantage of a bug I'm hoping they won't "fix"


author: Bill Bailey
body: Your two options in order of my preference is:

1. as [@Matthias Gaiser _K15t_](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/853318) suggested, use the code macro. Better solution for documentations
2. use the escape character "\\". Works faster than typing an unneeded character and then deleting it.

comments: author: Lorin LaFoe
body: escape character \\\* does not work, displays \\\*

What I would expect to work and what I tried first.


author: Bill Bailey
body: Refer to this KB

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/unable-to-use-some-characters-like-backslash-223904158.html>

Says it should work. But maybe not on Cloud and the "new" editor?


author: Matthias Gaiser _K15t_
body: Hi [@Lorin LaFoe](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/939923)

how about [inserting a code snippet](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-elements-into-a-page/) into the page and use this for documenting your cron expression? You can type **/code** in order to create the code snippet - and rest assured that Confluence won't perform some auto-convert logic on the content.

Cheers,  
Matthias.

Export to HTML doesn't work - App will be back soon
Asked by Krzysztof Garbulski:

Team,

is there any official solution for below issue ?

When we are exporting any site to HTML format, generated download link is giving us an error saying "App will be back soon".

Meanwhile export to PDF works well. Service/server was rebooted, with no success.

Thanks in advance for any help.


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Krzysztof Garbulski](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3143284)

Since you are on Server you will need to check the confluence logs and see what is happening. Have you checked the logs to see if there are any errors at the time of export?

comments: author: Krzysztof Garbulski
body: Hi, I was trying with logs, however there is no error codes in it :/  
Just lines like this:

\[Long running task: Export Space\] \[atlassian.velocity.htmlsafe.PossibleIncorrectHtmlEncodingEventHandler\]


author: Brant Schroeder
body: Is the space you are exporting really large? Do you have an apps that you are using on the pages outside of those delivered by Atlassian?


author: Krzysztof Garbulski
body: No, our workspace is not that heavy and we don't have third party apps.

It's mostly text, images and links.

P.S. anyway meanwhile PDF export works well.


author: Brant Schroeder
body: Do any other spaces export to html?


author: Krzysztof Garbulski
body: Actually we have only 1 workspace.


author: Brant Schroeder
body: Can you create a new one and add a couple of pages to it to test the export process?

Wikidata in confluence documents
Asked by NCarmichael:

When I am writing KB article in confluence I like to reference what I am writing about with a "further reading" section, I have found wikidata often has useful information on the subject I am writing about, are there any plugins or templates that allow me to use its information, embed it, or link out to it in an elegant way?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: We can't answer that question in full, the second part of it does not make any sense.

All the data in Confluence is "wiki data" - Confluence is a wiki.

But I do not understand what you are asking in "if I show wiki data in json table what is this"


author: Amna Shahbaz
body: i ask what is this wiki output format if i select this in groovy macro so what happened. I use advance json table macro and inside this table macro i use groovy and i see in the example that groovy macro use than we select the output format is wiki. i attach the pic also.![wiki.PNG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/184454i7E465123A45A3E5C/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "wiki.PNG")


author: Amna Shahbaz
body: can u tell me plz what is wiki data in confluence or if i show wiki data in json table what is this


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: The include and excerpt-include macros are probably a good starting point for you - you can write a page, and then include the whole thing in another page (or a chunk of a page if you go with excerpts)


author: M Amine
body: Have you tried the [excerpt](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-excerpt-macro/) macro?

Asked by Julia DAUMAL:

Hello everyone, here's my question:

In "worked on" I see all pages I worked on recently, however I don't know if the page has been published or not directly, I need to open each page to know.

How to view JIRA Dashboards in Confluence
Asked by Sudhir Dharani:

I have a Jira Dashboard which I would like to view from Confluence, How to configure this feature? Please help!


Answers:
author: Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}
body: Hi [@Sudhir Dharani](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4644937) ,

Your may try the standard [Jira Issues](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-jira-issues-macro/) and [Jira Chart](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-jira-chart-macro/) macros.

For more complex dashboards you may try to search for additional apps on the Atlassian Marketplace.

For example, [here](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+the+app+with+Jira+Issues) you can find several dashboards created with the help of our app - [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview). All the tables and graphs are based on the Jira Issues macro and all you need to do is to follow our step-by-step guides with screenshots. The only difference for you as for Cloud user will be nesting macros via the [Table Toolbox](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Toolbox+macro) macro and not directly. Other steps remain the same.

comments: author: Sudhir Dharani
body: Thanks Katerina, appreciate for the quick response. My request is , I have dashboards in JIRA which are already configured, the same dashboards, I would like to view in Confluence, please guide if you have any steps with respect to this ??


author: Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}
body: The first two macros that I've mentioned in my first reply - Jira Issues and Jira Chart - will transit information from your Jira instance to your Confluence instance.

You need to configure them and see the live data from Jira on your Confluence page.


author: Matthias Gaiser _K15t_
body: Hi [@Sudhir Dharani](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4644937)

welcome to the Atlassian Community.

You can try embedding your Jira dashboard using the [iframe macro.](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-iframe-macro/) This way, you're able to include the whole Jira UI into the iframe. It will also contain the menu header, so I'm not sure if that's a feasible solution for you, but in general it works so that you can see the contents of that Jira dashboard.

Does that work for you?

Cheers,  
Matthias.

Can't create a team calendar in Confluence - Server
Asked by Tobias:

Hello together,

I just updated my instance from 7.4.11 to 7.13.2 and saw that there is the possibility to use team calendars. I reviewed this [Create, Add, and Edit Calendars](https://confluence.atlassian.com/teamcal/create-add-and-edit-calendars-654213559.html) KB article, but I didn't found the template in my instance. There is nothing to find, but the App is installed and active so I am not sure what is going wrong.

Thanks for your help.

Best regards,

Tobias


Answers:
author: Kishan Sharma
body: Hi [@Tobias](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4045027)

Are you not able to see **Calendars** in the header tab ? or If you click on the three dots after Create button don't you get option to create calendar ? You can also check if the Team Calendars app is enabled by going to Manage Apps.

<br />

![calendars.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/170407i9886140BBE8DA7B3/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "calendars.png")

There are no templates as such available to create calendars in confluence server.

comments: author: Tobias
body: Hi [@Kishan Sharma](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/554991)

I am just dumb, I updated the server version and thought this feature is now accessible for all. We never used it before, so as I just read the description in the Manage Apps section and saw that this can't be licensed if you haven't used it yet.

So sry for this and thanks for your help.

author: Darquise Leblanc
body: I am not able to find Calendar. We are using Confluence Cloud. There is no Calendar button on the side or top bar. Also do not have ... beside create. Having the calendar is a must. I so surprised that I can add a simple calendar without having to install an app.

Using a form to add events into a team calendar
Asked by Gregory Muir:

<https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Using-a-form-to-add-events-into-a-team-calendar/qaq-p/617633>

There's a question from 2017 on the same topic. It never had a positive resolution and the two feature request posts linked to from it remain open and unresolved. Is this still a big, fat nope, can't be done or have there been any happy developments since then?

We would like to have a trigger that updates calendar events based on date fields in form-created pages.


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Gregory Muir](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4030884) this is still at the same place it was in 2017. Since there is no API available to team calendars might be a while before this could be a possibility.


author: Kishan Sharma
body: Hi [@Gregory Muir](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4030884) Atlassian mentioned that the suggestion is not currently on their roadmap, even though having 550+ votes. The status of the suggestion is "Future Consideration" but not sure by when they will consider it. At the max, you can vote for it and start watching it for future updates.

Hi All,  

I am migrating few spaces from my Cloud instance to Server instance .  
Issue is my server instance is not having users that were present in cloud.

When you import a site export file, all user accounts are overwritten, including the system administrator account that was created when you installed Confluence. Your existing Cloud Site Admin account will not automatically have system administrator permissions for Confluence Server or Data Center.
