Jira 7 - released on cloud?
Asked by Tom Tabruyn:

I may have missed a memo, but my cloud site shows I'm running JIRA 7.0.0 while I cannot find the release notes, and <https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/JIRA+Release+Summary> still states v6.4 as the latest one...

Also, some menu items like Versions seem to be missing (projects now show the agile board by default instead of the old project navigation), as well as the icons for Tasks and Stories having changed...

Is this just silly me?

Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Yes, Cloud is ahead of the Server releases, but Atlassian don't really say much about the upgrades when it's done.

The project navigation was changed in 6.3 or 6.4, but was optional. There was talk of removing the old style in 7, but I don't know if they've killed off the old style completely, or just flipped it over to be the default (have a look in your profile settings for the flag).

comments: author: MattS
body: To be fair, Atlassian does announce upcoming Cloud releases at <https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/what-s-new-686863216.html>. Just that due to the agressive timings sometimes Cloud users get to find bugs before any one else does.


author: Tom Tabruyn
body: Versions and Components hidden probably because I chose to hide the fields themselves in this project. Was used to seeing them empty.

According to <https://confluence.atlassian.com/jiracloud/browsing-a-project-735937233.html>, Versions (Releases) and Components should show up if you have created at least 1, but they don't for me.

Screen Shot 2015-08-24 at 15.50.33.png

Looking forward to the 7.0 release notes and the What's New info.

We are using confluence 5.4.4 and in cluster (2 servers)

Once a while, we will face issue where the content index queue for one of the node is not auto flushing.

I have configured the JMX for monitoring the Index \> taskQueueLength and it works for both servers.

I wanted to configure nagios for this monitoring. The scenario is alert will be triggered when the both server taskQueueLength is not same. Can anyone advise how to configure the nagios monitoring?

How to generate report in confluence
Asked by Sher Singh:

Is there a way I can generate report in confluence(to know what spaces is created) by users, as I want to keep tap on what is being created and if users are creating as per standards I have setup for them.

Thanks


Answers:
author: William Zanchet [Atlassian]
body: Hey Sher,  

Confluence has the Confluence Usage Statics as you can see here: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Viewing+Site+Statistics>

Since you're running Cloud version, you might need to open a support case to see if the team can enable it for you.

what table maps pageids with space in confluence?
Asked by chintu Parameshwar:

hi,

I want to query pageids of all the pages in a space. Could you please let me know which table stores this info?

Thanks in advance!

Chintu


Answers:
author: Betsy Walker {Appfire}
body: You would need to join the content table on the spaces table, based on the spaceid in both columns, something like this:

```
SELECT title, contentid FROM content WHERE spaceid =     (SELECT spaceid FROM spaces WHERE spacekey = 'yourspacename') ORDER BY 1;
```

or

```
SELECT C.title, C.contentidFROM content CINNER JOIN spaces S ON C.spaceid = S.spaceidORDER BY title;
```

Epics in Confluence Roadmap Plugin?
Asked by Johan J?nsson:

Answers:
author: Mark_McGuire
body: I think what you're looking for is something described here:

<https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-36777>

Please vote for it. I think having a tighter integration between JIRA and the Roadmap Planner macro would be such a boost. I know that there is the "Portfolio" add-on from Atlassian that tries to some of this (and WAY too much more). But just a simple connection between dates on epics and the Roadmap planner would such a great way to communicate to the teams.

comments: author: Francisco Yago
body: Sounds good! We really need this


author: Sherif Mostafa
body: Was this ever developed? Is there a good workaround to link Roadmap Planner to JIRA?


author: Thomas Taylor
body: Hi, pretty sure the answer is yes - if the Epic is in Confluence (there is a request to be able to link to the Epic in JIRA but it's still in the queue).

Create the Epic in Confluence. I'd suggest using the Product Requirements Blueprint template because then you have a top-level repository for all the docs etc for the Epic. Then, assuming the instances are linked, link it in the Epic field to the Epic in Jira, making sure that the issues are listed in the JIRA version of the epic.

Hope that makes sense.

Does the PageMe! add-on work with Confluence in the cloud ?
Asked by Pamela Cole:

Does the PageMe! add-on work with Confluence in the cloud ?


Answers:
author: Roger de la Fuente

Does anyone have a vendor recommendation to get help with migrating from FOSWiki/TWiki to Confluence?
Asked by Desiree' Abbott:

We have given up on trying to do the migration ourselves and are seeking help. There is a rather long list of US vendors so I wondered if anyone has any recommendations?

Multimedia macro
Asked by Jennifer Weber:

We are trying to get an MP4 file to play on Confluence using the Multimedia macro. I can upload the file successfully and put it into the macro, but I can't get it to play. First it wanted me to Activate QuickTime, which I did, and then that plug-in crashed, and now when I click on the box where the video should be I get a big X with the message that says the video is corrupt. We are in Firefox, and have confluence version 5.5.6. Any tips would be great. Thank you!!


Answers:
author: Guilherme V.
body: Hi Jennifer,

It seems you've just found a bug in your Confluence version as you can see below:

* <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-34335>

This bug was fixed in the 5.7 version. You could update your system in order to fix that ![laugh](/html/@BEA1CC333F4D830F5303329D7DC07DE4/images/emoticons/laugh.png "laugh").

I am facing same issues on 5.6.6


author: Mallmann
body: Hey Jennifer,

Would you be able to test it using another browser so we can reduce the scope of the problem?

Also try to run it again using a private session on your browser, thus we can also make sure that this is not a problem with corrupted browser cache, for example.

Let me know if that makes any difference.

Requirements
Asked by Chyjuan:

Does confluence meet the requirements below. We are looking to move to this collaboration platform.

1) 24X7 availability

2) controlled mntce windows

3) SSL only

4) Encrypted at rest

5) Granular permission sets

6) Version tracking

7) Page update reporting / usage reporting

8) Reporting or ticket created for pages with no updates in X days.

9) Embedded multimedia capability

10) Ability to mark SOPs as draft, or need tested, or reviewed by SL, etc

11) Integrate\\share with other teams/solutions -- Goal should be one doc solution for IM

12) Flow Chart Capabilities

13) Attachment sizing

14) Word wrap capabilities

15) Last in First out search capabilities

16) verbatin tags


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Mostly, yes, more yes if you add addons. Depends on whether you're looking at Server or Cloud.

Although I'd also say questions 10, 13, 14, 15 and 16 are not useful questions - badly phrased and unclear what you're asking.


author: Milo Test
body: Maybe? But certainly not out-of-the-box.

1--3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 14 --- Yes (some things may be more manual than you'd like, but all are doable)

7, 8, 12 --- Yes with non-free add-ons

11 --- Yes to some degree (need to know exactly to what you are wanting to connect)

13 --- If you mean, control how big of an attachment can be uploaded, then Yes. If you mean auto compression, then I don't think so.

15 --- Yes with search macros on pages, but I don't think the main site search can be changed so.

16 --- If you mean verbati*m* tags, than yes to some degree (but again, would need to know what exactly you are trying to accomplish)

4 --- ? (But I can't think of how)

Attachment date on confluence page
Asked by Tom Birch Hansen:

How can I show the date of an attachment on a confluence page?

What I mean is, when a user uploads new version of a file, the date on the page should automatically be updated.

Is there a user macro that can do this?

I'm not interested in a list of attachments with date, but simply the file-date of a specific attachment.


Answers:
author: William Zanchet [Atlassian]
body: Tom,

If you go to *Insert \> Attachments* you'll get a list with name, modified and who added the attachment. Less than that we don't have it. That is the most simplified method that we have.

Use macros (such as search) with page template
Asked by Christian Andersen:

Hello everyone

I was wondering if it's possible to use the search macro on a page template.

I have the following need for it:

Whenever I create a space, i need a home page with a search macro for the specific space. The search macro need a space key in order for it to search a specific space.

Can I somehow get it to automatically set the space key, to the space the page is being created in.

For instance, I have a space called TestSpace, with the key TEST. Can I then get the template with the search macro to set the space key to TEST?


Answers:
author: Davin Studer
body: You could wrap the livesearch macro in a user macro that will supply the space key for you. The below user macro gives you all of the livesearch macro parameters except the space key. It will auto insert that one.

**Macro Name:**space_livesearch

**Macro Title:**Space Livesearch

**Description:**Embeds a search box into your Confluence page to show search results as you type.

**Macro Body Processing:**   
No macro body

**Template:**

```


author: m@
body: I don't think you can have dynamic variables like this in a page template.

There may be another way to do it though (Confluence 5.8+), the search macro that you are using may be able to be replaced with one of the new cql based macros.

The advanced search macro and all the other CQL based search macros all support a "Current Space" filter allowing you to find content in the current space.

Another option will be to consider replacing your page Template with a blueprints which will allow a much richer and more dynamic way to populate the pages. Look here: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Blueprints>

Anonymous access without changing the default/landing page in Confluence
Asked by jmazo1:

Hello Atlassian Community :smile:

My company has rapidly taken to Confluence. So much so we now want to try some work where external users put information in a form on Confluence to populate an excel sheet. In translation we want to provide anonymous access to a form and provide access to the data only to authenticated users.

I did this by creating an external facing space and putting the form there. I was able to make the space view able by anonymous. The access to the data was then put in another space which by default is only view able by authenticated users. The issue I am running into is that when I browse to Confluence for the first time in the morning, I see the External Facing Space by default instead of the login page. Any way to change this behavior?

BR,

Juan


Answers:
author: jmazo1
body: i don't care about the anonymous user logging in. What I want to do is have it so that when internal users reach confluence for the first time in the morning, they reach the login page instead of the space that is publicly accessible.

BR,

Juan


author: jmazo1
body: i would rather see the login screen. Does that make sense?


author: Milo Test
body: But you do, actually. If a log in screen is presented to your anonymous users, there is no way for them to access the content.

Also, there is no way within Confluence to tell if the user is internal or not; the only option is for internal users to go somewhere else in the site first.

There might be a way for your IT folks to set up a whitelist of some sort so that when a connection is detected from within the corporate IP address schema, the user would be redirected to some page that does not allow anonymous access (see below).

I think this might be your best bet:

Add an "Employees Login" link in the sidebar that simply goes to another page in the site where the only thing on that page is the HTML macro containing:

```
&lt;meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL='https://yourcompany.com/pages/anonymouspage'" /&gt;
```

Where the URL is the path back to the anonymous page.

**NOTE**: This \*should\* work, but our IT has our site firewalled so I can't even test anonymous access though I did test the redirect and it works, at least in Chrome.


author: Milo Test
body: Anonymous users don't need to login so you won't get the login screen; there is no way for anonymous users to "login" so that screen *can't* be used. If you want users to log in, have them browse to the base URL instead of that specific page.

Is there a way to get page properties report information from a postgres database?
Asked by Natalie S_:

We need to be able to query page properties report information from the database and export it into an CSV or excel file. How can we do this? We would be using a postgres database.


Answers:
author: Brian
body: Hey there Natalie, you can generally get a lot of metadata about pages simply by querying the content table for the page in question (using the page ID or page title), and even by joining the content table to other tables like the content_label table for example, to see what labels are applied to the page.

And Postgres allows you to export the output of a query to CSV, using something like the process described in [this blog post](http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/dlarochelle/2011/12/11/outputing-to-csv-in-postgresql/).
