navmap macro won't change cell height
Asked by Mark Nixon:

When using the {navmap} macro and manually specifying the cell height either in the syntax or the gui edit box, it always renders as 60px no matter what you set the cell height too.

It seems that this issue is a bug. I've raised a bug report regarding this issue, please refer to the following.

\* <https://studio.plugins.atlassian.com/browse/ADVMACROS-245>

Feel free to comment or add yourself as a watcher to know the progress of that bug. And please bear in mind on our bug fixing policy.

As a workaround, you can specify the height and width without putting the 'px' at the end of the parameter. By doing that the size can be changed accordingly.

Confluence editing page with wiki markup
Asked by Timo T:

Hey, everyone :)

I'd like to ask a little question about Confluence 4.0.7. When editing a page, is there a way to see the whole page content as a wiki markup code (I mean to see everything that is already inserted to this page as a wiki markup code and then complement it as well)?

Thank you so much!

Tim

there's no Wiki Markup anymore in Confluence 4. There were a lot of discussions here about this subject, the last one yesterday: [https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/62082/confluence-v4-editor-is-driving-us-insane#62260](/questions/62082/confluence-v4-editor-is-driving-us-insane#62260)

Activity Stream gadget not loading up when access confluence from another computer on the same LAN
Asked by mosesxu:

I have an activity stream gadget on my page, it's working perfectly when access confluence from the host locally.

However, when I access the wiki page from another computer in the same LAN, the activity stream is not loading up with the following error message:

This web page is not available

Google Chrome's connection attempt to **localhost** was rejected. The website may be down or your network may not be properly configured.

Here are some suggestions:

Reload this web page later.

Check your Internet connection. Reboot any routers, modems or other network devices that you may be using.

Add Google Chrome as a permitted programme in your firewall or antivirus software's settings. If it is already a permitted programme, try deleting it from the list of permitted programmes and adding it again.

If you use a proxy server, check your proxy settings or contact your network administrator to make sure that the proxy server is working. If you don't believe you should be using a proxy server, adjust your proxy settings: Go to the spanner menu \> Settings \> + Show advanced settings \> Change proxy settings... \> LAN Settings and deselect the "Use a proxy server for your LAN" checkbox.

Error 102 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED): The server refused the connection.

It seems that confluence is trying to fetch the contents from the local client computer rather than the server that's running Confluence.

Please kindly help. Any suggestion is appreciated.

How to order browse labels results
Asked by Adolfo Casari:

When I use option *browse labels* in order to search content that contain that label, I would like to see the results ordered from newest to oldest. Is that possible?

Confluence 4.2

Thank you.


Answers:
author: Adolfo Casari
body: I found a solution and put it [here](/questions/62575/use-of-velocity-generic-tools-in-a-page-decorator).


author: Septa Cahyadiputra

Currently the order of the order of label can only be sorted as

* Alpabetically
* Popularity

In order to get this information into the page, you might need to use [SQL plugin](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/org.swift.confluence.sql) and use the following query

Sorted by creation date

```
SELECT NAME, CREATIONDATE FROM label ORDER BY 2 DESC;
```

Sorted by last modification date

```
SELECT NAME, LASTMODDATE FROM label ORDER BY 2 DESC;
```

Hope it helps.

Cheers,

Migrate Content from Hosted to Downloaded Wiki
Asked by Paul Banas:

I am migrating my wiki from a hosted solution to a downloaded solution. In the process of bringing up my downloaded wiki, I am prompted for a "site/space backup". Do I just export the hosted wiki? If so, what format should I select (HTML or XML)?


Answers:
author: SimonS
body: Hi Paul,

If you're using Confluence Hosted, simply export to XML and then restore the backups on the download instance:

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Site+Backup+and+Restore>

If you're using Confluence OnDemand, you'll need to get a backup from our support team. File a ticket for a backup at [support.atlassian.com](http://support.atlassian.com).

These backups take 2 weeks to be scheduled and completed, since they are in high demand. Also, your hosted instance must be active during the process so be sure to restore your data into an installed instance before you cancel your hosted subscription.

Does confluence 3.3 have a default email notification scheme?
Asked by Bryan Karsh:

If so, where is it located? Any tips appreciated. I am trying to figure out how to limit emails to "Forgot my password" -- can't figure out to do it.

I know there are mail specific plugins, but I am not sure which ones to disable -- or even if that is the right approach. If there is a plugin fix, please give specifics.

For now, I have modified velocity templates that prevent users from choosing certain types of notifications, but it doesn't affect what users are already subscribed to.

Does that make sense? Any tips appreciated?

How to get the Team Calendars macro to show more than 14 days ahead in list mode?
Asked by Thomas Peter Berntsen:

Hi guys,

How, if possible, does one get the Team Calendars macro to show events more than 14 days ahead in list mode?

I would really like to be able to specify a period (e.g. one month ahead, a quarter, the rest of the year) as a macro parameter, but I can't see that one should exist?

Cheers,  
Thomas


Answers:
author: Kelvin Yap
body: G'day Thomas,

The next release of Team Calendars (2.3) will have an **Upcoming Events View** which may help give you more visibility on what's on the horizon for you and your team. It's restricted to 30 days ahead however, so it doesn't have the flexibility you're after in regards to specifying macro parameters.

That being said, there's currently a [feature request](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/TEAMCAL-215) similar to what you're after that I recommend you comment and/or vote on so we can keep track of interest in this type of functionality.

I hope that helps!

Is there a feature for confluence that allows in draft save option without Publishing?
Asked by Michelle Civil:

I'm aware that confluence docs are automatically saved, and you can resume editing a doc at any time, but is there a plug-in or feature that can be added to manually save the draft without publishing?

Multiple times the page has failed to save draft, and I've been forced to open a new tab and copy over the information that wasn't saved.

It would also make typing doc's less stressfull, as manually saving a draft would be more convienient then having to rely on it to save automatically.

maybe the content publishing plugin is something for you: <https://marketplace.atlassian.com/143>

Confluence meeting minutes linked to jira actions
Asked by markh_1spatial:

Hi,

I'm investigating replacing our home grown meeting minutes \& action reporting system with a combination of jira and confluence.

Ideally, what I'd like to do is to be able to author minutes in confluence and press a button to add a new action from the minutes. This would create a new jira issue which has a remote link to the confluence page and update the confluence page to include details of the issue.

We're using onDemand, so can't have external plugins

I've tried variants of two options so far, but neither are idea

1) Use confluence's Insert-\>Jira issue dialogue. This only lets you enter a subset of the issue's metadata, so doesn't work if we want mandatory due dates. The Confluence view is also quite limited - I'd really like my minutes to show who's assigned to each action.

2) Have a custom URL field in the jira issue pointing to the meeting minutes and use the jira issues macro in confluence to search for issues with that field set. This is tricky to setup - users would have to manually copy and paste URLs and I've not been able to get it to work with URLs containing spaces since the url field and issue list macros encode them differently.

Does anyone have any better ways of managing meeting minutes with integrated lists of actions?


Answers:
author: markh_1spatial
body: We've decided to 'solve' this using the following method:

* Our meeting minutes template includes a set of links to the jira create issue page, with pre-populated project, issue type and labels in some cases
* Users click on the link (opens new tab), and create a jira issue for the action.
* The user then has to manually add the link using the insert jira issue dialog. This isn't as difficult as it sounds, since we have a html comment in the template reminding them of the keyboard shortcut and the recently viewed issues section shows the new actions at the top of the list

The bi-directional link then exists between the minutes and actions. The minutes don't show a lot of detail about actions, so we often augment this with text (e.g. the assignee). We're also using labels for different types of action or groups that own actions, and the jira issue list macro on a separate page to list open and closed actions for each group.

It's still early days, but working ok so far.

Attachment Restrictions
Asked by Richard S:

Apart from creating a page and adding restrictions to it, is there a way of restricting access to attachments within a page.

What I would like to do is have numerous attachments within a page, but restricted access to them so that different users can open different attachments, rather than creating separate pages and restricting access to the pages.

Is this possible?


Answers:
author: Thomas Schlegel
body: Hi Steve,

I don't think that this is possible out of the box. You can control the visibility of the links to the attachments with the visibility plugin ([https://marketplace.atlassian.com/202](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/202)))

With that, you have makros like "show-to" or "hide-from".

But beware of this: the makro just hides the link on the surface. It is no real security. If a user looks at the code of the page, he can see the link. The attachments are also not hidden, if a user is searching with some keywords.

Best regards

Thomas

comments: author: Richard S
body: Thanks for the quick response.

I thought that may be the case. =( Oh well, I'll just have to create a few restricted child pages.

How do I need to configure an external search engine to scan a Confluence installation?
Asked by Sorin Sbarnea (Citrix):

How do I need to configure an external search engine to scan a Confluence installation?


Answers:
author: Dennis Kromhout van der Meer
body: Be sure that the pages you want to be indexed by an external search engine (like Google) are accessible by an anonymous user. You can use [Google Webmaster Tools](https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools) to add your Confluence instance to the Google search index.

If I misinterpreted your question, please elaborate on what you're trying to achieve.


author: Matthew J. Horn
body: When you say "external search engine", are you referring to a site like [google.com](http://google.com), or are you talking about a search appliance that resides on another server within your organization?

comments: author: Sorin Sbarnea (Citrix)
body: Exactly, I was trying to configure SearchBlox to crawl jira.


author: Matthew J. Horn
body: Should just be able to point it to the server root. As long as you have no robots.txt file blocking access, it should be able to index the confluence site.


author: Sorin Sbarnea (Citrix)
body: It is not so easy, I do not want the spider to index all the previous version of the documents. The default robots.txt does allow this and it pollutes the indexes.


author: Matthew J. Horn
body: can you configure the robots.txt to exclude paths to previous versions of teh doc? For example, our site uses space names to differentiate between versions, so we could exclude URLs that match the older versions' space names.

Are Confluence passwords hashed over http?
Asked by jboutin:

If I connect to confluence over non-https, are passwards encrypted?


Answers:
author: Joe Clark
body: Correct, unless you implement some form of custom authentication, passwords and usernames are sent in clear-text when logging in to Confluence.

SSL for the win :-)


author: Matthew J. Horn
body: Someone else can step in and correct me if I'm wrong, but I decided to explore this a little. However, it's very possible I do not understand how auth works with Confluence (or with servers in general), so take this for what it's worth (almost nothing).

If you request the admin URL:

<http://yoursite.com/confluence/authenticate.action?destination=/admin/console.action>

Now turn on your network monitor (in my case, I used Chrome's Network tab), enter your password, and click "Confirm".

Then look at the request, it looks like it is NOT encrypted. Here's a dump of my request. The password is in the form data, in plain text:
