Linking to image in the export doesn't work but it does on the server
Asked by marksweb:

I'm setting up templates \& processes to prepare our documentation on the server for delivery in the exported HTML format.

When viewing the page on the server in Confluence I can click on images \& be taken to their source, but in the export there is no link.

How does confluence handle these links if they aren't in the exported HTML? Does it use the data-image-src tag somehow? My export looks like this;

```
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img class="confluence-embedded-image" src="attachments/1179860/1310774.png" data-image-src="attachments/1179860/1310774.png"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
```

If it helps I have a demo available; [http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3755926/cssTricks/main.html](http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3755926/cssTricks/main.html "http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3755926/cssTricks/main.html")

author: Dennis Kromhout van der Meer
body: If I understand your question correctly, the thing that makes images "clickable" is the [anchor tag](http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_a.asp). I recommend to compare the DOM between your display and export template, and add the anchor tags to your export as well, making the images clickable.

comments: author: marksweb
body: Yeah I was about to setup a bit of jQuery to bind things together \& create the link that way, but I wasn't sure if you could do something with the editor to get confluence and/or the export process to do this for you to save me the job.

Do you know what I need to search the docs for on editing the export? I've found docs on customising the PDF export, but not HTML. I'm not sure if I have access to that at the moment, but its something I have been wanting to look at. Thanks :)


author: Dennis Kromhout van der Meer
body: Are you exporting via Space Admin or via plugin that uses the "Tools" menu?


author: marksweb
body: From the advanced part with space admin as the tools plugin doesn't work correctly.

I've got my JS setup, but as I say, it would be easier to get as much as possible done by the export process, like adding my custom style sheets, js links etc.

Nesting of usergroups in Confluence 3.4.2
Asked by Sourish Ghosh:

Is nesting of User Groups possible in Confluence 3.4.2? If not , then is there a higher version of Confluence that supports it?


Answers:
author: Thomas Schlegel
body: Hi Sourish,

it's not possible to nest groups in Confluence, as far as I know. You have to edit those groups in your directory server, if this is possible: <http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Managing+Nested+Groups>

Table cols and a summary in Confluence
Asked by a.haaken:

Are there very rudimental spreadsheet functions for Confluence?

Like SUM, AVG, Max,Min?


Answers:
author: Andrey Khaneev _StiltSoft_
body: Try [Table Filter](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.stiltsoft.confluence.plugin.tablefilter.tablefilter)'s [Pivot Table](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/TableFilter/How+to+use+Pivot+table+macro?src=contextnavpagetreemode) macro, it can calculate count, sum, average, max and min.


author: CelesteCS
body: Hello!

For any calculations in Confluence, including calculations over tables, you may use [CelesteCS Math for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.celestecs.confluence.celestecs-math).

Assume you have a table with three rows and three columns: A1 till C3. Then here are the simplest examples of formulas you may use:

```
MAX(Table1.A2:C3) - MIN(Table1.A2:C3)AVG(Table1.A2:C3) / SUM(Table1.A2:C3)
```

As you see, it is very simple and is similar to EXCEL with equal set of functions.

There is a plenty of other functions in the macro, so you may perform any calculations using formulas in EXCEL style.

Thanks!


author: Adrien Ragot 2
body: Your data shouldn't mingle with the text, it should be a separate object so you can include it on several pages and perform calculations on it.

I'm building the [Play SQL Spreadsheet](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.playsql.playsql-plugin) tool so people can create tables, then insert them on wiki pages. This way, you can also write queries to get the sum, average, max and min and make graphs.


author: David at David Simpson Apps
body: If you want spreadsheet functionality, have you considered embedding a spreadsheet?

e.g. the Microsoft Office connector functionality, or the Google Docs plugin?

Alternatively, you could perhaps create some javascript based user macros that do this in COnfluence tables.
Hiding the personal panel in a users personal space from Anonymous users
Asked by Geir Larsen:

Hello all. I have setup our confluence instance to allow anonymous users access to personal spaces. In some test cases, I have denied access to anon at the space level (using space admin). However, when I browse those spaces that should not allow anon access I actually DO see some stuff.  

While I do not see any child pages, I can still see the About me, Activity and Personal information areas.

<br />

These should also be totally invisible to the anon user for these spaces! How come I can still see peoples telephone, email, etc?

Cheers!!  

//Mike


Answers:
author: Septa Cahyadiputra
body: Hi Mike,

Could you please double check if you have configured [anonymous access](http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONF41/Setting+up+Anonymous+Access) to have "User Profile View" permission?

You should be able to configure this option trough "Global Permission" menu.

Hope it helps.

Problem with image export to PDF

An idea - make the Confluence footer "submit a bug" the same user experience as JIRA footer "Report a problem"
Asked by Mark Haller:

I'm running JIRA 5.0 and Confluence 4.1.4

At the base of every JIRA page is this -

**Bug tracking and project tracking for software development powered by Atlassian JIRA (v5.0#713-sha1:aec58e2) Report a problem**

If I click "Report a problem" I am taken to [support.atlassian.com](http://support.atlassian.com) to log a production problem on my install.

At the base of every Confluence page is this -

**Powered by Atlassian Confluence 4.1.4, the Enterprise Wiki ? Report a bug ? Atlassian News**

If I click on "Report a bug" I am taken to [jira.atlassian.com](http://jira.atlassian.com) to log a general bug/feedback against the entire product.

Now they both LOOK the same when filing the issue. So a few days ago I filed an issue as major and wondered why I'd no reply in very many hours!

**I think it would be sensible for the "report a bug" on Confluence to be "Report a problem" and exhibit the same behaviour as the JIRA problem feedback. Any agree? Not sure where to post/send this so putting it in Atlassian Answers!**

Any way to customize search results page to remind users to log in?
Asked by Glenn Tremblay:

We're looking to add some functionality to our Service Desk tool to generate search URLs for Confluence.

While we have some sections of our site as globally accessible (to anonymous users), the knowledge base we are crafting search links for is not.

Since the search defaults to spaces for which you have permission to view, is there any way we can remind users to log in if they aren't seeing the results they expect? I looked at the Layout configuration, but the Search page does not seem to have its own configurable layout - I assume it uses the global one.

Thanks in advance,

Glenn


Answers:

body: You can customise the search result page on the following decorator files:

confluence-ondemand integration with onpremises JIRA

You cannot integrate Confluence Ondemand with a standalone JIRA installation, this is a Restricted Function ([https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/AOD/Restricted+Functions+in+Atlassian+OnDemand](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/AOD/Restricted+Functions+in+Atlassian+OnDemand "Restricted Function")) but you can move both to OnDemand service, so you'll get both services perfectly integrated on the same instance.

Nesting of groups
Asked by Sourish Ghosh:

Is nesting of groups possible in Confluence 3.4.2? If not, is it possible in higher versions of confluence?


Answers:
author: Andrew Frayling
body: Hi Sourish,

Do you mean groups as in user management, or Spaces?

Support for nested LDAP groups for user management has been available since Confluence 3.5, see <http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Configuring+User+Directories> for details.

If you mean nested Spaces then Confluence still does not support this natively, but there are a couple of plugins that provide this functionality:

* [Metadata Plugin 2](https://plugins.atlassian.com/plugins/org.andya.confluence.plugins.metadata)
* [SubSpace Plugin](https://plugins.atlassian.com/plugins/de.communardo.confluence.plugins.subspace)

I notice your question is tagged as "confluence-ondemand". Is that because you're thinking of using OnDemand, or because that is what you have already chosen? If you are currently undecided about OnDemand or the download version and nested groups/spaces as a key feature for you it's worth mentioning that the information I've provided only applies to the download version as you cannot use LDAP with OnDemand and you cannot install plugins in addition to those [provided by Atlassian](http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/AOD/Atlassian+OnDemand+Plugin+Policy).

Does that help?

Andrew.

Can I exclude a person or group from viewing a page in Confluence?
Asked by Tobias Vollmer:

All our pages are generally open for viewing to all logged in users. We have an external user who we would like to exclude on a space.

Can we add a restcrition like "all users bar XYZ" or restrict hte page otherwise?


Answers:
author: RianA
body: Hi Snafu,

Good News! Yes we can exclude users or group to viewing certain page from Confluence. You can do this by restricting the view of certain page from Tools \>\> Restrictions. The users who can restrict certain page must have the permission from Space permission. For further reading regarding this, please refer to the following documentations.

\* <http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Page+Restrictions>

\* <http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Space+Permissions+Overview>

Hope this information helps.

Best regards,  
Josua

comments: author: Thomas Schlegel
body: But I think, what Snafu wants, is not possible. You can restrict a page to a certain person or group, but you cannot restrict it to "everyone except xyz". That would only be possible, if you could create a group "everyone except xyz" and restrict the page to that group.


author: RianA
body: Ahh I see, sorry for the misunderstanding. For this, you need to create another group and include all user except xyz. And then assign the permission to that group. Cheers.


author: Tobias Vollmer
body: Hi Josua,

thanks for the tip. But can I add "all Users" to a group? We have more than 300 Users in Confluence and adding a "comma seperated list" and most importtanly maintaining this list (or more than one !) would be admin horror. :-(


author: Topaz Gino
body: I would appreciate an answer on this question as well if there's an expert who could help ?


author: Khuong Vu
body: Rian's suggestion on 3/28/12 works for me as follows:

1. We have a group called *library-include-all*, which is maintained by Confluence; i.e. all new users with a valid campus login can log in, and the new users are automatically added to library-include-all. Effectively, the library-include-all group contains faculty, staff, and student assistants working in the library.
2. We have another group called *library-faculty-staff*, which is maintained by a system admin; all new faculty and staff are added to library-faculty-staff. Luckily, this group is not hard to maintain, because it is quite stable.
3. We have a page that we want to restrict viewing to our faculty and staff; i.e. we want to exclude the students. So, I restrict the page to the group called library-faculty-staff.

Thank you Rian.

Could not install Gliffy as Confluence plugin

I tried installing Gliffy as Confluence plugin both using the .jar source and via the plugins link in Confluence admin, but keep coming up with errors.

After trying to install Gliffy I get the error:

After checking the logs the following message is shown:  
"Failed to install plugin plugin_9013090556308106409_gliffy-confluence-plugin-4.0.3.jar"

This sometimes occurs if there is a network or other problem with the Atlassian plugins server and your server. You may want to download the file directly from Gliffy and install it manually. You can do so from here:

If you continue to have problems, please contact me at support@gliffy.com

There is likely something in the log file that can help diagnose the problem. Here are some instructions for generating a support zip file that will include the log file:

If you're comfiortable with looking in the log file yourself, you might find something that's useful that you might post here for us to review. If you don't find anything obvious in the log file, it probably makes sense for you to open a support ticket with us.

PDF Stylesheet - any guides out there?
Asked by Chris van Hasselt:

Any guides out there for how to work with the stylesheet for PDF? I am including a person's profile (via a macro) on a page, and it displays the whole profile when I export to PDF. Unfortunately, the rendering is completely off when it goes to PDF. Problems include:

1) inadequate space between profile block and next element, namely the next table cell in the display.

2) On screen, the person's name lines up with their image. Not so in PDF rendering.

3) Drop shadow is gone (this is NOT important to me, but it is a rendering failure, I think.

4) background color of the profile block doesn't carry over to print.

Any guidance appreciated.


Answers:

The numbering in the toc comes from the confluencedefaultpdf.css. There are lines like this:

```
div.toclvl0:before {    content:  counter(chapter) ". ";    counter-increment: chapter;  /* Add 1 to chapter */    }
```

If you want to get rid of the numbering you must override this by adding some new lines to your PDF export stylesheet. Try something like this:

```
div.toclvl0:before, div.toclvl1:before {    content:"";    }
```

As regards some general guidance:  
I learned that the PDF export uses CSS 2.1 and so any documentation on CSS 2.1 should get you started.

At present, I'm looking for a way to customize the TOC numbering in the PDF. Entries in the TOC default to be numbering with 1, 1.1, 1.1.1, etc., followed by the name of the page. I'd like to remove the numbering altogether, since the numbering shows up nowhere else in the document and is visually cluttering.

The following DOESN'T work in my PDF CSS (though it seems like it should).

1. div.toc ol   
2. {
3. list-style:none;
4. }   

Any tips or pointers to complete PDF CSS documentation is appreciated.
CamelCase in confluence 4.1
Asked by dimitri de graef:

Hi,

apparently confluence 4.1 does not support camel case via the configuration interface as was the case with earlier versions.

it seems to be possible to enable this by changing an xml conf entry in the database:

\<allowCamelCase\>true\</allowCamelCase\>

I enabled this , but after restarting confluence links wiki words are still not displayed as links.
