Atlassian plugins for Confluence 6.8.1
Asked by Jeanne McGaffigan:

I am trying to upgrade to Confluence 6.8.1, but when I do the upgrade checker for the plugins, both the Healthcheck and the Support Tools plugins are showing as incompatible with this version of Confluence. I have been unable to find any that are compatible.

Does anyone know where I can find these plugins?

Thank you in advance.

"Your confluence instance is already completely setup" Looping
Asked by Josh Schaffenberger:

Hello --

We wanted the URL to not have a port at the end of it, and tried to switch the connector in server.xml to listen on port 80.

This didn't work, and looped us to http://localhost/bootstrap/selectsetupstep.action

and the text on that page is:

Your confluence instance is already completely setup.

Return to Confluence.

I set everything back, and this still loops. (now http://localhost:8090/bootstrap/selectsetupstep.action

Your confluence instance is already completely setup.

Return to Confluence.)

Why does this think its the setup page, and that that i want to do additional setup?

Do i need to change something in the SQL database? We are really stuck.

Thanks in advance,

josh

I had this happen on a test instance and it was my browser cache. Just in case, please try clearing your browser cache or using a browser that has not cached the error page.

Default profile picture broken in email

author: Lauretha Rura
body: Hey [@Eduardo CVC](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1286743),

Does this only occur to Anonymous user? Also, which mail server do you use? Because there is a bug logged for Lotus mail server specifically - <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-26561>.

(i) If you're using Microsoft Outlook, as by default Microsoft Outlook is configured to block automatic picture downloads from the Internet, you might also want to check if the *Automatic Download Settings* in your Mail Server has been allowed.

For more information on this, you may refer to the following posts:

Answers:
author: thais
body: Hi, Aji,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

It's not possible changing the color for the bullets \& expand icons within the Page Tree macro at this moment, but we created feature requests for this functionality for Cloud and Server:

- Cloud: [Page Tree macro: change color of bullets and expand icons](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-59594).  
- Server: [Page Tree macro: change color of bullets and expand icons](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-55420).

We suggest you add yourself as a watcher on the feature request regarding your instance (Cloud or Server), voting to increase its popularity.

Good workaround for trying to name pages the same in Confluence
Asked by Lindsay Czopur:

Does anyone have good workaround for trying to name pages the same in the same space? We have API documentation in the attached link that technically should be named the same. I'm curious how everyone else has worked around this one so we can best meet the needs of our Confluence users. Below is an example of an API named "Create Order," which falls under two different sets of APIs.

Thanks!

Answers:
author: Jonathan Smith
body: I have a troubleshooting space where each application is a knowledge base. I tend to put the category before the page title.

If there is a complicated navigation, it would be Category - Sub Category - Page Title.

Example in your case:

+Store APIs - Orders 01

+Store APIs - Orders 01 - Create 01

+Store APIs - Products 01
Confluence docker raise to 100% CPU usage when GitLab docker running
Asked by Joshua Avalon:

I am using Confluence docker (atlassian/confluence-server) and GitLab docker (gitlab/gitlab-ce).

When GitLab is not running, Confluence uses less than 10% CPU. However, when GitLab start running, Confluence CPU usage continue to raise until 100% and not responding. I run ps aux to confirm it is Confluence (java) not GitLab using the CPU.

Do anyone know why is this happening? and how to fix it?

Here is the usage:

How do I widen the user profile macro?
Asked by Peter Glaskowsky:

Our organization has a relatively long domain name, and we use the first.last@domain format for our email addresses. Some of our email addresses are long enough to be truncated by the User Profile Macro when rendered. I presume there's some hard-coded limit to how wide the macro can be; how do we change this?


Answers:
author: David at David Simpson Apps
body: The width is hard coded.

**On Confluence Server:**

As an administrator, you could override this by browsing to
> **Confluence Admin \> Look \& Feel \> Custom HTML**

Then paste the following in **At end of the HEAD**

```
<style>
 #com-atlassian-confluence .profile-macro .vcard .values {
   width: calc( 100% - 60px );
 }
</style>
```

**On Confluence Cloud:**

Sorry, you're out of luck, this cannot be changed.

Confluence - create a template from a current page
Asked by Julio Valdez:

Thanks in advance.

Answers:

Note: Source editor will need to be enabled in Confluence administration.

1. Source page
2. Edit mode
3. Click \<\> top right
4. Copy code
5. Go into space tools / content tools / edit-create new template

author: Jonathan Smith
body: Correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think you can attach files to a template. I am assuming agenda1 is an embedded file.

Try this:

1. Try to put Agenda1-5 (documents) into a file list on the space.
2. In your template, type Agenda 1, but then make that a link to the file in the file list.
3. See if your links display as broken.

Comodo Certificate
Asked by Lumeta Support:

1. How do I update the certs for the site ? I just received a new cert from Comodo for this site.

2. I cannot find the host file for the site as well - where is it located ?

Thank you.


Answers:
author: AnnWorley
body: Hi,

I am not sure what site you mean. If it's your locally-hosted Confluence instance, you may serve SSL from a proxy or in Tomcat, so the instructions to update the SSL cert would depend on which method, and if you're using a proxy, which one.

If SSL is terminated at Tomcat, please follow: [Running Confluence Over SSL or HTTPS](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/running-confluence-over-ssl-or-https-161203.html).

If you are using NGINX or Apache proxies, please see [Running Confluence behind NGINX with SSL](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/running-confluence-behind-nginx-with-ssl-858772080.html) and [Securing your Atlassian applications with Apache using SSL](https://confluence.atlassian.com/kb/securing-your-atlassian-applications-with-apache-using-ssl-838284349.html)  

Installing Confluence does not move or change the host file in the operating system. It should be in the default location for your OS. For Windows, please check C:\\Windows\\System32\\Drivers\\etc\\hosts and for Linux, /etc/hosts

Thanks,

Ann

I would be thankful if someone could point me in the right direction.

Updating team calendars offline
Asked by Chris:

I know how to install Team Calendars offline, but does anyone know how to update it? I could uninstall and re-install, though I'm not sure what consequences that will have on the existing calendars in the DB.

Any ideas?

Thanks!


Answers:
author: Daniel Eads {unmonitored account}
body: Hi Christian,

I'm not 100% sure I'm about to answer what you were hoping to ask (I feel like I'm guessing on your intended meaning), but here goes!

You can update marketplace add-ons including Team Calendars manually even if your Confluence install doesn't have access to the internet. This won't have any adverse effect on the data your plugins store in the database. Basically you download a copy of the latest version of the add-on to your computer, then upload it to Confluence.

[Step by step instructions are available here.](https://confluence.atlassian.com/upm/updating-add-ons-273875710.html#Updatingadd-ons-Updatingadd-onsbyfileupload)

Auto expading a Expand macros based on keyword search
Asked by Saravdeep Singh:

Hi,

We have created a page in our team which consists of a list of Expand macros containing name/phone number/artifacts worked on.

We use the search macros to search for the individual artifact names contained within the Expand macros.

Clicking on the search results lead to opening the webpage, but the content that we are looking for is inside "Expand" macros, which remain collapsed.

Is there a way to make clicking on search results expands the Macros (Expand) automatically?
