Restricting Confiform field change
Asked by Barry Smyth:

I have a field on a form that I want to restrict people from changing. The field is a dropdown field with 4 possible values 01,02,03 and 04.

I want to restrict people from changing to anything other than 01 (which it defaults too).

The rule I want to add is

If the field value has changed AND  
the value of the field is not equal to 01 AND  
the user id is not equal to 123456

then do not allow the change.

How do i do that. I have tried with condition and validation rules but I am clearly not getting the syntax right. Can someone talk me through its?

UPDATE

I've decided that the simplist approach to this is to make a field read only if the user is not 123456. But even trying to find the condition for that is proving painful. I've tried everything so far and nothing works

Condition

!\[entry._user\]:123456

Run Validation Rule to set the field to Read Only.

UPDATE

OK realised that wont work because its a drop down field, so instead tried hiding the field if the user is not 123456 and showing the field if the user is 123456. But none of that worked either, so at this time I am officially throwing in the towel and giving up. Clearly it just CANNOT be done, at least by me.


Answers:
author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Hi

Expression (condition) for the validation rule

```
hasChanged(field):true AND !field:01 AND !_user:123456
```

Alex

comments: author: Barry Smyth
body: Thanks Alex, perfect as always. And if I want to have change that slightly and make it equal to two users would it be the following.

```
hasChanged(field):true AND !field:01 AND (_user:123456 OR _user:654321)
```


author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: ```
(hasChanged(field):true AND !field:01) AND (_user:123456 OR _user:654321)
```

But consider using something like "userInSecurityGroup" instead

<https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/CONFIFORMS/Virtual+functions>

To make this easier to maintain (not hardcoding to specific user accounts, but security groups)


author: Barry Smyth
body: Nice idea on the securitygroups but unfortunatly that's an admin function to setup and involves so much internal red tape its not worth the effort, alas.

Cannot link file from shared drive to Confluence as URL
Asked by Elena Georgiou:

Hi,

Can you please let me know if it's possible to link a document froma shared drive to Confluence as a URL? I keep getting the error: Enter a valid URL.


Answers:

body: Hi [@Elena Georgiou](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5497465) ,

Welcome to the Community! I think your question is related to this other post, where others are experiencing the same issue. There are a couple of workarounds shared in the post:

<https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Hyperlink-to-Network-Local-files/qaq-p/1439043>

Just out of curiosity, did you try with different browsers?

comments: author: Elena Georgiou
body: Hi [@Carlos Garcia Navarro](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1031232)

I had read that post however the one workaround suggested was to copy-paste the path as a link in a browser which will then open/download the file of the Shared drive. But this is not quite what we are trying to do. We would like to click on the link and then the file to open.

The other workaround suggested in that post, is to use file://path which also doesn't open the file form the shared drive.

I have tried Edge and Chrome - same result.

I have used the page property report macro many times, and it works fine, except for one case. Why?
Asked by Andr? Cusson:

With Confluence, I have used the page property report macro many times, and it works fine, except for one case where the selection label does not seem to match the document that have this label.

When I get a label report (macro), the labels missed by the page property report are all there with the others and selecting the troubled labels shows all the pages where specified, including those associated with the nlon-workin label.

I have tried a number of things like rebuilding the pages etc, but to no avail.

I am reaching out as a more experienced user may help figure out my mistake faster.

Thank you.

How to restore all the project documentation from Confluence and tractions from Jira?
Asked by makovcov_aleksandr:

In 2022 our team used "Confluence (Cloud) Standard 10 Users" and "Jira Software (Cloud) Standard 10 Users". In 2022 the project was frozen and we stopped to pay subs. Some time ago we decided to rebuild our project and found that all documentation from Confluence has disappeared. The same happened to Jira tractions. How to restore all the project documentation that we have collected over the years?


Answers:
author: Barbara Szczesniak
body: [@makovcov_aleksandr](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5473247)

* If you made backups/exports of your Confluence spaces and Jira projects before you stopped using your sites, you may be able to restore your data from those. If you are again on a paid plan, Atlassian support could help you with that.
* If not, then, as [@Aron Gombas _Midori_](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/502447) pointed out, your data cannot be recovered.

comments: author: makovcov_aleksandr
body: We didn't make any backups, unfortunately :(

If I buy a sub again, can I try to reach out to support without any backups? Or will it be still impossible to restore data without backups even on a paid plan? How do you think?  

<br />


author: Aron Gombas _Midori_
body: I am afraid there is an automatic deletion of data after you abandon an Atlassian site. And it is rather likely that there is no "undo".

comments: author: makovcov_aleksandr

How make Confluence PDF exporter remember the pages/grouping pages to publish as pdf
Asked by Meera.Amanullah:

Hi,

Is there a way to make the Confluence PDF exporter (Space tools\>content tolls\>export\>pdf\>custom export) remember a group of pages to be published at a single click? instead of selecting the pages every time.

Note: I have used Include Page and Include Version macro to link all the pages I need to publish a sa book into one single page and export in one click, but the hyperlinks among them don't navigate within the pdf and direct to Confluence. Which I need to work within the pdf.

Any suggestions, please.

Thank you


Answers:
author: Kristian Klima
body: Hi [@Meera.Amanullah](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5198768)

From the top of my head, there are two options and both involve labels.

Option 1

A marketplace app such as [Scroll PDF Exporter](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/7019/scroll-pdf-exporter-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=cloud) which allows you to narrow down the export to pages with specific labels. Collateral benefit is that the exports in the app are much more customizable, and look way better compared to the stock PDF exporter.

Option 2

This was suggested at the Write the Docs Slack recently. Essentially, write a similar app yourself - use API and/or download HTML / XML, run some sort of script to convert the pages with specific labels to PDF.

comments: author: Meera.Amanullah
body: Hi [@Kristian Klima](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5074962) ,

Thanks for the reply.

I have the Scroll PDF Exporter app and it works as you mentioned.

The downside is that there are options like creating a pdf from a new page tree, and when we follow the steps, the hyperlinks inside the pdf direct to Confluence instead of within the pdf. I have raised a question with the plugin vendor regarding the same.

Thank you

Auto delete ConfiForms database
Asked by Adrian M:

My ConfiForms form creates Jira tickets. The database of the form is growing. The form does not store any ID's or timestamp's in the ConfiForms database.

Is there a way to set things up so that the last 100 rows are kept and any rows beyond that in the ConfiForms database are auto deleted by setting up a schedule.

Or rows created in the past 30 days are kept and any rows beyond that in the ConfiForms database are deleted by setting up a schedule?

How can I create a custom gantt chart with data from the Jira in a HTML macro
Asked by Chris Kemp:

Objective:

Create Confluence page that contains pivot table with Milestones being worked on each fiscal quarter, and gantt chart view for initiatives, milestones created by the initiative, and task created by those milestones. Jira roadmap is not supported as our company is not on the current release version and with such a large company upgrading versions is not something feasible at this time.

Request:

Seeking help to understand how I can have the Jira macro execute my JQL to get the information from Jira, while having the table hidden. I can easily create the table with the Jira macros which exposes the key fields needed by my HTML code (Labels, Components, Summary, Start Date, and Planned Done Date), however I can not figure out how to access the data directly in HTML although it is on the same page.

Design Blockers:

- Use of 3rd party macros is not allowed in my company.

- Can not use API to call Jira directly.

- Complex JS seems to break resulting in graphics not to be shown.

body: Hi [@Chris Kemp](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5497081) ,

I'm aware of the first blocker regarding the 3rd party macros but as there are no any hints regarding the case, I'll mention our app - [Table Filter, Charts \& Spreadsheets for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-charts-spreadsheets-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=datacenter&utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111). Maybe it will help other users who browse the Community.

[Here](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/tfac/dc-server/building-a-gantt-chart-42242448.html?utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) is an example how to create a live Gantt Chart based on the Jira Issues macro.

Maybe we can arrange a [live call](https://calendly.com/tablefilter/live-demo?month=2024-05) with your team? The app enhances working with Confluence tables in general, we'll be able to show you many more use cases besides the Gantt Chart.

Is there a way to hide the confluence categories on the help center portal?
Asked by Jason Furtner:

Hello,

My team uses confluence as a knowledge base for the back end engineering team. I do not want my customers to see the articles. I have set the knowledge base settings to "only confluence users" can view the articles. However, when I create categories for that confluence space, they still show up on my help center portal. When the customer clicks on the category, it just sends them to an empty page since they cant see the articles in confluence.

Is there a way to hide these categories on the help center portal? I would like to categorize my articles, so just deleting the categories is not a sufficient option. I only want my customer to see the request options, but these empty category suggestions take up the whole page. Its really inconvenient.

Thanks,

Jason

body: [@Jason Furtner](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5488158)

**It IS possible** to create any number of KB portals, with any level of access (public, internal, mirroring internal permissions) with one of many marketplace apps.

Each of the following apps can hide Confluence elements / content sections completely.

- **Scroll Viewport by K15t** (which we're using to create public and internal documentation portals from a single confluence space with conditional content). Your content and permissions is completely independent of Confluence in this case. So your Confluence space can be private and you can still create a public KB with selected content.

- **Spacecraft by Seibert** - it repurposes Confluence content but adheres to Confluence permissions. But on the site, it still hides the content and Confluence UI elements.

Unfortunately third party apps are not an option for me. Thank you for the suggestions though..

How to remove borders from SQL table transformer view
Asked by Dhiraj Kr_ Gupta:

I want to remove vertical line from the view of a table based on SQL Table Transformer Macro im confluence


Answers:
author: Stiltsoft support
body: Hi [@Dhiraj Kr_ Gupta](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5375074) ,

As the Table Transformer macro treats source tables as mini databases, it draws borders around your cell contents. But you can color them white and make them "invisible".

The first option is to use the following SQL query:

SELECT  
FORMATWIKI("{cell:border-color=white}", 'Column 1' + "{cell}") AS 'Column 1',  
FORMATWIKI("{cell:border-color=white}" + 'Column 2' + "{cell}") AS 'Column 2'  
FROM T\*

And the second option is to use the **Stylesheet tab** of the macro:

td {border-color:white}

The result will be the same:

![Thu 7-1.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/324118iA54B5E6AA0402780/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Thu 7-1.png")

Hope it helps your case.

comments: author: Stiltsoft support
body: And another CSS for the Stylesheet tab from our developers to remove only vertical lines from your table:

.confluenceTh, .confluenceTd {  
border: none;  
border-bottom: 1px solid #C1C7D0;  
}
