Mass Export of All Spaces in Confluence
Asked by Atanas Kodinov:

Hello,  

I am struggling to export all of my spaces in Confluence (regardless Active or Archived) in HTML Format.

What i am aware is the function to export a single site in HTML (from Space Tools-\> Content Tools -\> Export). I have also tried to export a full backup but in XML Format through the general administration (with admin permissions) but i get TimeOut error when i try to download it.   

Is there a way to export all the spaces in HTML format massively instead of exporting them one by one. I really prefer to have them in HTML instead of XML.  

Thanks in advance,  
Nas

author: Aron Gombas _Midori_
body: The [Confluence CLI app](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/284/confluence-command-line-interface-cli?tab=overview&hosting=server) provides a command line approach for the exports. So, I think you could write a little script that iterates over your spaces and exports each separately.

It's almost 2022, where is Dark mode?
Asked by Ed Leonard:

Asked in Confluence but it applies across the suite really, Dark mode is beyond standard now, products big and small offer it because who really wants to burn their users eyes out? Is there any plans to roll this out across Jira and Confluence?


Answers:
author: Denis.Ibragimov
body: It is almost 2023, but still no progress with Dark Mode.

comments: author: Scott Solmer
body: The codebase for Confluence must be a total nightmare if they can't get this implemented in a reasonable time. Atlassian has been sitting on this feature request since at least 2018. Come on now! My OS and every application I use with the exception of confluence is dark and my eyes are burning... Send help.


author: Kishan Sharma
body: Hi [@Ed Leonard](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2069562) A dark mode for JIRA cloud is under consideration, refer [this suggestion](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-63150) and [this one](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-69537) for Confluence Cloud, I don't see any timelines yet on those, but will suggest you to Vote and Watch them for further updates. Alternatively you can read comments [on this thread](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Software-questions/Is-there-a-dark-mode-available-for-Jira-on-the-web/qaq-p/1244553), where users were able to use a workaround by installing browser extensions.

comments: author: Ed Leonard
body: Hi Kishan,

Thanks for the reply. Using Stylus extensions feels like a cheap get-out, forcing people into non-stock browsers and introduces a potential support stream to manage determining issues users might have and pondering if it's 3rd party styling issues etc.

I don't understand what would need to be considered, you have a technical audience, probably the same technical audience who are the largest dark-mode users on the internet and it's likely these people could be damaged by prolonged use of your products (and others with such a high percentage of pure white as the base colour in the product). In such a case it would seem like a duty-of-care feature rather than the whims of some trendies.


author: Kishan Sharma
body: Hi [@Ed Leonard](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2069562) I can relate to what you are saying, as I am in the same boat as you :) Lets hope to hear back from someone from Atlassian Team on this thread.


author: Ed Leonard
body: Yes, fingers crossed someone with clout cares about the user. ??


author: Roch Brz
body: Funny how bad confluence product management is.

The dark mode has been requested by users since 2019, and still nothing.

Confluence is losing market share to apps like Notion, and no surprise. Do you know what Notion has? DARK MODE

Users that spend a lot of time in front of a screen like dark mode because it's better for the eyes, but why care...

What a joke.

Appendable Multiselect field
Asked by Joachim Marx:

Hi,

I need a multiselect field, where users can add new entries, either by a button or just typing. New entries should be part of choice list next time.

Smart Multi-Select does a good job, but doesn't allow new values to be entered.

Switching forms for adding choices in a separate form is too inconvenient.

Is there a field type that can perform updateable multi-select?


Answers:
author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Hi

Welcome to community

Is this a question related to ConfiForms plugin? Looking at the field type name you have mentioned - it sounds like it is... but could you confirm?

Alex

comments: author: Joachim Marx
body: yes, good point :-)  
It's ConfiForms.


author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Hi

Thanks for clarifying, will add an appropriate tag for clarity

So, to your question - we dont have something like this to be enabled via parameter or anything like that, but this can be easily built / configured

<https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/TEST/Smart+dropdown+with+a+text+field+to+add+new+custom+choice>

Also, we have some user macro that simplifies this (but probably needs some tweaking when used with smart fields)

If you use the [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=server) app (that is our add-on) for table filtration and data aggregation, you may as well use it to create Jira reports right in Confluence.

The app supports the standard Jira Issues macro, so you'll be able to calculate and visualize any data you need - please [look here](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+the+app+with+Jira+Issues) for the examples of the Jira reports that you may create.

Side bar restriction (viewing permission)
Asked by EUN JI Choi:

Hi,

I have a menu (pages created and page tree) on the sidebar.

Is there any way to sho page tree only for some users?

Can I give a restriction **only for some users to see page tree on sidebar?**

I don't want everyone to see page tree. (


Answers:
author: Fadoua
body: [@EUN JI Choi](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4609484)

Restrictions apply at the page level not to hide certain features from some users.

May be if you use a plugin which I am not sure about. However Confluence out of the box doesn't offer that ability.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Best,

Fadoua

I cannot switch my Confluence site from http to https SSL
Asked by Vinh Le:

Hi All,

I have read up as much replies regarding my problem here but still I get this frustrating error when I tried to make it works on Https with my SSL certificate pfx.

Yes, I have followed these steps below.

They have very much similar issues as i have.

Please see my screen captures.

I have imported my SSL certificate in pfx format into the keystore as you can see in the screen. It is valid. The password are all valid as I tested it.

I have gone over the config files so many times in the last 4 days.

I have rebooted the server etc.

Note: It runs perfectly with localhost:8090 but as soon as I added configurations for Https it just spit the dummy.

Please help I am desperate!

Page Variables that are able to be Edited after Publish
Asked by Julian Governale:

I have been looking for an addon that allows for page variables to be set on page. Once the page is published and when you access the edit view it allows for you to change those variables values.

The variable macro in the templates works well for creating the content, but if we need to edit it after, we can not edit those variables as they are converted to text in the page.

Are there any recommendations on add-ons that others have found that were able to achieve this?


Answers:

db query to extract global content
Asked by Peter Steiger:

My boss is writing up an audit report for upper management that summarizes total activity in our on-prem wiki. Basically a spreadsheet version of the Global Activity report. From my googling I gather that it is not possible to simply extract this report to CSV, so I'm looking to write a query that will pull the data I need, presumably out of the **content** table.

Does the content table show only the most recent edit? That is, do I need to join with any other tables to get (for example) all edits to a given page? Or does the global activity report draw from another source entirely?

If someone here has already invented this wheel and would be willing to share your query with me, you'd save me a ton of research and earn my eternal gratitude.


Answers:
author: Dominic Lagger
body: Hi [@Peter Steiger](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4610789)

I don't have a finished query for you, but here are my thoughts:

* I would assume, that every entry in the content table is one edit. I'm not sure about that, but it seems, that every entry in this table is coming from an edit or save.
* Every Edit on a page creates a new content version. You can check that when you see the page history. Every page history has it's own contentid

Hope this helped a little bit.

Regards, Dominic

Not able to login via url
Asked by Rahul Jain:

We recently upgraded to Atlassian Confluence 7.13.0 (Data Centre) and after that login via url is not working.

I found this article which says we can use a workaround method i.e. to use atlassian.allow.insecure.url.parameter.login as true

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-7-10-upgrade-notes-1026054305.html>

Is this system property applicable for 7.13.0 as well?


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Rahul Jain](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4609913)

As the document states, you can use the workaround. I would suggest you migrate to the more secure option, such as [personal access tokens](https://confluence.atlassian.com/enterprise/using-personal-access-tokens-1026032365.html).

comments: author: Rahul Jain
body: Thanks for the reply [@Brant Schroeder](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/769100)

The artical mentioned is for 7.10 but I am using 7.13, so will workaround work for that as well.

Actually we can't give anonymous access and also we can't create confluence user for every application user so we were using one system user for authentication purpose.

In short authentication was happening behind the scenes using login via url with system user credentials. We can't show confluence login screen to application user as they don't have their users on confluence.

So will personal access token option workout in that manner and will we get static token for use?

Or is there any other alternative to implement the same behaviour.

Select Content to exclude from pdf
Asked by Maria Fellhauer:

Hello,

i need to write a macro to exclude content, which you can select, from a pdf export.

Answers:
author: Dominic Lagger
body: Hi [@Maria Fellhauer](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4610410)

First of all, you can not write a User Macro in the cloud version of confluence. You either have to write an app ([Plan your app](https://developer.atlassian.com/developer-guide/start-building-with-atlassian/))

Or you could easily buy an existing app for your approach. I would suggest to you this one: [Scroll PDF Export](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/7019/scroll-pdf-exporter-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=cloud). Here you can define which content should not be printed.

missing cards on my boards
