Not loading Pictures as a complete URL
Asked by dvayanu:

Not loading Pictures as a complete URL  
When clicking on an image within a page that has several images I can slide through those images.  
Every new picture will bring up a new URL  
Picture 1  
lzjo5sha.png  
Picture 2  
wotzej3g.png  
and so on.  
When I close the slider I am on the regular page again. Clicking the Backbutton of the browser now results in browsing through all of those pictures again before getting back to the last real content page.  
How can we set up the slider so that this does not happen and the last real content page is being shown?

author: Rob Woodgate
body: Hi Leon,

When you use the Back button on the browser you're instructing the browser to go to the last URL that it loaded. In this case that will be the last picture you viewed, as that is accessed via a URL.

There's nothing you or Atlassian can do about this, it's the behaviour of your browser (and all browsers).

There's no way to configure Confluence to show the pictures in some "non-URL" way, and realistically there isn't any sensible technical way to do this even if Atlassian wanted to.

comments: author: dvayanu
body: Hi Rob,

ok, maybe I made my question unclear. Is there a 'way' or another gallery-plugin to present the pictures in a picture slider in a form of an overlay-layer, like its done on a gazillion of internet pages out there, without browser even getting note about the change of the picture.

Means: same url, picture slide via javascript, no change of url, no browser back.

cons: no direct picture url into the slider possible.

So with that being added, maybe you know of such a plugin?


author: Rob Woodgate
body: Hi Leon,

I'm not aware of an add-on that does that, but that doesn't mean one doesn't exist. Have you searched the [Atlassian Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/home/confluence)?

An alternative if you want to do some dirty work yourself is to embed a gallery [in an iFrame](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-put-an-iframe-into-confluence-598837531.html), which might solve your problem. There's a link at the bottom of that page to a plugin if you don't want to use the HTML macro directly.
Confluence space but got errors
Asked by Gurinder Summan:

Created a test space in Confluence named - Agile Test space  
Tried to map the Mat Agile test project with the new Confluence space but got errors while adding links to the project which said -"Sorry, there are no links available when using anonymous access, check the permission configuration of the remote application."


Answers:
author: Rob Woodgate
body: Hi Gurinder,

I'm guessing you mean you mapped a JIRA project to a Confluence space?

If that's the case then it means you've got anonymous access turned on for either JIRA or Confluence, but not for the other.

In Product Requirements Blueprint, can you modify which fields are visible to all?
Asked by Raimon Gonzales:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: [Product Requirements Blueprint](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=329975392)*

This Blueprint is close to what we need but we also need to be able to define which fields are visible to all and which fields are for internal only.

Is there a way for us to filter or set a section/macro hidden to most users, only visible to User A, B, and C.

What's your workaround here?


Answers:
author: Rob Woodgate
body: Hi Raimon,

No, there isn't a way to define different fields within a singe page as either visible or invisible, based on the user/user group viewing the page.

A possible workaround is to use the **Excerpt Include** macro to show the content that is only visible to the "internal only" group. If you put the **Excerpt** macro in a page that can only be seen by the "internal only" group then the **Excerpt** **Include** macro will only show the content to people in that group.

Can you hide a section or macro in the page body to space visitors?
Asked by Raimon Gonzales:

In Confluence, we're creating pages for different courses offered. Each page has Page Properties macro with a table of what the course is about.

We're getting these info to be displayed in a separate page using Page Properties Report macro as a Summary/Index page of courses.

But we also need to add other course details like costing and other sensitive info that are for internal users only. Can we hide a section or macro in the page body to space visitors?

text area bg image hidden by something
Asked by Steffen Heller:

Hello everyone,

I want to include a "DRAFT" logo on all pages of my PDF exports.

Everything works fine, the logo is there and I can see it in the header and footer area.   
The problem is that in the main page area it is not visible because some kind of background color is on top of it.

What is that and how can I replace it?  
I am basically searching for an HTML element and the CSS definition for a white background that is somewhere defined in the standard layout.

I tried "wiki-content" and "main-content" and "background: green/red/transparent" but none of it had any effect.

<br />

This is how the DRAFT logo is included:  

@page {

1. /\* DRAFT-Logo \*/
2. background-image: url(/download/attachments/55651017/DRAFT.png);
3. }

And this is how the exported PDF looks like (for demonstration I used some small image that tiles nicely)

Answers:

body: \>\> Maybe try to find out which element is adding the white background and style that as transparent?

Okay, every question can be misunderstood :wink:  
What you are proposing is exactly what I did so far. I tried to find that element. And if I found it, I would remove the background. All that is clear.

My problem is I don't know what that element is and I was hoping someone had an idea.

\>\> Alternatively create a pseudo element on #page::after and give it a z-index to sit it above the content?

I am not sure if that would work. That logo should be behind the content, imagine a watermark. It should have all the content (text, images, tables, ...) on top of it, but it should be visible in the background and not be completely covered by something (which I am trying to find out what it is).

comments: author: Tan Duong

Copy database and backup entire server for Confluence (with license)
Asked by Rodrigo Serra:

Hi,  
We need to have one instance of slave Confluence.  
This instance will be offline while master instance is working.  
But when Master instance is switched off, we need to change the Slave instance to Master.  
This means that the two instances will have the same (equal) database and filesystem.  
This also means that license will be same for both instances.  
The server hostname/IP will be diferent.  
Is it ok to have same License on two different servers? It will work?  
Thank you.

In that case, what I need ia a "backup server" in another datacenter. If I have a disaster with the master, for example, I just go to the slave(off) instance and turn it on.

So, I have doubts about how the license works, and what exactly I have to clone or sync, besides the database

Restrict creation of pages in confluence space by any user
Asked by anuj__sharma:

Is there a way to restrict the creation of pages in a confluence space without modifying any individual user related permission ?  

There is a 'restrict edit of page' option , but still when it is done user can create pages.  
I do not want to apply 'restrict view of page' ........basically i want to make the space readonly.  

Please suggest a way.


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: There's no way to do that. A user can either create pages in a space, or they can not.

Complex frustrating user privileges are not what Confluence is for, it's for collaboration and sharing.


author: Rob Woodgate
body: Hi Anuj,

Nic is right. You can prevent users from creating pages by giving them view-only permissions, but you can't prevent them from creating pages without changing their permissions.

Permissions affect users, not the pages. All functionality is always "there" for people to use and it's up to you as an administrator to allow or deny users the permissions they need to use that functionality.

Can we run multiple Atlasssian apps off of the same server?
Asked by Patrick Stewart:

Currently we have JIRA, Confluence, and JIRA Service Desk all running on separate servers. They all also have individual databases. Confluence and JIRA are running with on-premise VM's and the JIRA Service Desk is running through an AWS instance. My question is can I migrate the two on prim apps to the same AWS instance or do they all need to be running on separate servers? I suppose it might be better to keep them separate just for incase one server goes down the other two tools will stay online correct? Does keeping them separate cause any issues with integrating them?


Answers:
author: Jobin Kuruvilla [Adaptavist]
body: You have answered your own question :smile: While it is possible to keep everything on a single server (given that the server has enough resources), it is beneficial to keep them separate for the reasons you have mentioned. That wouldn't cause any issues while integrating them.

If you end up putting them on the same server, make sure the server has enough memory, CPU etc and should have a failover plan in the case the server goes down.

What is the wiki markup for adding Hide Elements?
Asked by Ryan Shelton:

I want to add the HideElements macro to the Header to in a space. What is the correct wiki markup for it?

Here is what I've tried.

```
{hideelements:hideElementsTools=true|hideElementsEdit=true|hideElementsCSS-Selector=.aui-header}
```

```
{hideelements-macro:hideElementsTools=true|hideElementsEdit=true|hideElementsCSS-Selector=.aui-header}

Answers:
author: Johannes Stadler (Scandio)
body: Hi Ryan,

thanks for using Hide Elements!  
Unfortunately Hide Elements is a xhtml-macro, and therefor has no wiki markup notation. I will look into this, but for the moment you could add the following custom CSS at "Space Tools \> Look and Feel \> Stylesheet \> Edit":

```
#action-menu-link, #add-menu-link, #editPageLink, .aui-header {
    display:none !important;
}
```

That should have the desired effect.

Best regards

Johannes

author: Rob Woodgate
body: HI Jason,

According to Atlassian's [Troubleshooting Apache page](https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver072/troubleshooting-apache-828788162.html), it's probably because Apache and Tomcat are both redirecting when only one should be. That page has guidance to solve the problem.

Why did Confluence send automatically "recommended" emails?
Asked by Anna Antretter:

Hello everybody,

we have been using confluence for a couple of years now.

Last week an email went out with the headline: "Recommended in ..."

I have read some things about that issue yet but I didn't find something that is solving my problem.

The only thing I found was that when public singup is not enabled then the notification is enabled by default.

But the curious thing is that not all users got the mail, only a few ones.

In the "General configuration" in the tab "Recommended updates email" we didn't change anything.

Default schedule is "Weekly" and we did not check the box which says "Send by Default".

When I go under my personal Settings in the tab "Email" the box which says "Subscribe to recommended updates" is not checked but when I click edit then the box is checked?!

I don't have any explanation for that issue.

Hope you can help me.
