Restricted Public Link
Asked by touchlineconnect:

When we have a public link for a space any user accessing that link can then also navigate and access any other public links that we make available.

Is there a way to provide a public link that functions as a unique instance? That is where users on that public link are not able to navigate from that link to see and access other public links that we make available.

Example we have is publishing a knowledge base or support material for different user types (eg: User and Administrator). We want these public spaces to be separate unique instances where users cannot navigate from one public space to the other. Visitor in the User space could not navigate from that public space to the Administrator public space.

author: Dave Mathijs
body: Hi [@touchlineconnect](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/682484)

Each public link corresponds to one content item only. If you turn on and share a public link for a content item that has any child items, the public link will only reveal the parent item, not any of the child items. To share the child items too, you'll need to turn on their public links and share each of them individually.

So I don't really understand your question. There's a difference between the public link of a page and a public space (with anonymous access).

WYSIWYG Editor - Disable Pasting Images
Asked by Matthew Martin:

Hey Alex and community,

I have a Jira-connected form using the **Create Jira Issue** IFTTT. The form uses WYSIWYG fields to capture data. My challenge is that pasted images into a WYSIWYG field do not appear in Jira. I believe this is as intended and is a known quantity.

As this issue cannot be resolved, I want to know if I can stop or disable images being pasted into the WYSIWYG editor in the first place.

Thank you-

author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Hi [@Matthew Martin](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1241049)

Interesting enough is that this is the most requested functionality for ConfiForms WYSIWYG field (to embed images on copy-paste)

As I understand, you send the contents of this field to Jira - Jira (to my knowledge) does not have a renderer which supports embedded images

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/configuring-renderers-938847270.html>

We have no option to disable this functionality on ConfiForms side at the moment

My Confluence Page has been dissapeared
Asked by Data Cefinn:

Hello all,

I had spent some time to create the documentation for an internal app for the company I work for.

The URL is

<https://cefinnapp.atlassian.net>

However since the last 2 months when I try to login to my Confluence Page, I see the following:

Your Atlassian Cloud site is currently unavailable.  

Please check [Atlassian Status](https://status.atlassian.com/) for known problems.  
If there are no known problems and your page hasn't appeared again in 5-10 minutes then please contact our support team.

Any idea why my Page has gone?

Is my work gone as well?


Answers:
author: Samuel Gatica
body: Hi [@Data Cefinn](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5601894)

Welcome to the community!

It seems that your page has been deactivated. Has your site been actively used lately, or has it been sitting idle for a while?

If your site has been inactive for a while, there's a chance it might have been deactivated. If that's the case, the Billing Contacts listed for your site should have received several emails beforehand warning of the deactivation.

I suggest you open a ticket with [Atlassian Support](https://support.atlassian.com/contact/#/)

Best regards

I want to add this product but only for select users - not everyone. What steps are required?
Asked by Tim Wilson:

It seems the default step adds it for all users and i only want to add it for select users.


Answers:
author: Kristian Klima
body: Hi [@Tim Wilson](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5601832) and welcome to the Community.

You may need to elaborate a bit on what product we're discussing...

Having said that, in general terms.

Atlassian products (Confluence, Jira, etc.) - you can mix and match your user across those products. Within your org, you can have 100 seats on Jira, 40 on Confluence. 30 people of those can have access to both.

Marketplace apps - these are licensed per the user count on the Atlassian product they're installed on. So in the scenario above, if you install an app on Confluence, it will be licensed for 40 users. Same applies to Jira apps. Now, Enterprise tier gives you more options when it comes to organizing your Atlassian organization but that's another story.

Some apps do come with their own permission settings - you still pay per licensed user - but you can select which user/user group can a) access an app, b) perform specific operations within the app.

comments: author: Tim Wilson
body: My apologies - I had clicked on the Confluence product selection dropdown, so I thought that was part of the details that would come across as well. I only want to add Confluence to about 3-5 users to begin with ....not the 130+ in my entire user community. It appears that when adding the product, it indicates it will add it for all active users. I do not want to do that. Thanks for your help.

Hello , I'm fairly novice when it comes to using confluence so bare with me.

I have a from that gathers some basic information and I would like for it to create a page, where I can see the data for that entry, and also follow a template for some things that are typically tracked later. I've had success creating the page but no mater what I put in the page editors section the page is empty.

Do I need to create another IFTTT within that one or something else. any help would be great thanks !

body: Not sure I get the question... What do you have in the template?

Registrations Control is not for showing records, but for building a form view (to create new records)

What have you done to the Page Properties Report in Confluence Cloud?
Asked by David Laine:

I have just been trying to use the Page Properties report in Confluence Cloud (its been quite a number of months since I last used it) and it is completely broken - What have you done Atlassian??

I am using filters for "current space" and sub pages for "current page" and the results are, well, I get a random list back - even get content when I have deleted the sub pages!

Is anyone else experiencing this?


Answers:
author: David Laine
body: I think I know the answer...

I re-visited my page after about an hour and it had updated correctly.

The indexing/re-indexing in Confluence for page properties is painfully slow - certainly with the instance and data sizes we have.

However, this is very frustrating when you are creating/building a page, adding a new page properties macro and trying to test to see that you have picked up the correct data with the filters you selected. We also use indented folders and only pick up the children at each level.


author: Shawn Doyle - ReleaseTEAM
body: Hi [@David Laine](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5227431)

I tested this on my cloud instance and it seems to be working as expected. I do see some quirkiness in the settings popup for the report macro, when the options do not display correctly, yet while awkward to fill out, once I did I was able to get the report to work. I tested both modifying an existing report and creating a new one.

Confiforms Audit Log
Asked by Rayman Bacchus:

Today, my question concerns the IFTTT macro for Audit

I created three IFTTT's onCreated, onModified, onDeleted to track what was done under a specific createdid (at least this is what I think the Audit function will do)

Is there a way for me to show the Audit Log on a tab in a Confluence Page (I use Deck of Cards, and Card for the Confluence page). So on the last "card"....I want to show the audit history of a particular record.

I want something like this

Field, UpdatedData, OldData, DateofChange, Event

Is this even possible? I don't see anywhere in Audit where olddata, updateddata is stored.  

This is what I currently have, but although I updated FraudApps - and it's not showing in the log

Answers:
author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_

created field in the audit log form will show the "DateofChange", and the audit log form has all the fields that you have in your original form

In addition it has two more fields

**_event**

**_ref**

To get an event and reference to entry (in original form)

comments: author: Rayman Bacchus
body: As always, THANKS A TON Alex. Your knowledge is very appreciated.

One question - is there a field in the audit_log that says WHAT field changed? I was thinking a hasChanged() but do I need to do that for all fields in the form?

body: The audit log logs every change unless you make it configurable via condition

I was hoping to have Event, Created timestamp, Last Updated By, FieldThat Changed, old field data, new field data.  

However, I don't think that is possible. I know there is a _previousState command but I'm not even sure how to use that command and I don't think it works in a TableView. I cant have the field = _previousState.\[entry.fieldsthatchanged\]

Reset password
Asked by Lydia Rose Collomosse:

I need to log into Confluence to access a site. There is no password reset link at the login stage and i have looked on various help resources on Confluence, Atlassian etc. and articles but they either point me to other links that i can't access or advise to follow paths that i can't see exist on the page.

Please can you help me? Thanks,

Lydia


Answers:
author: Radek Dost?l
body: If there is no "Can't login?" link then it has been disabled, likely because you are connecting to Confluence using an active directory, i.e. external password verification.

The only team that can help you is that who manages your Confluence instance, which is more than likely a team or a group in your/that company - maybe there is a support link somewhere there how to reach them.

So basically a few things can happen:

- either you have a local account (local to Confluence, Confluence manages your password), then the link is just disabled, but the page itself *might* still be available at confluence.url/forgotuserpassword.action -- keep in mind this will probably not work though.. because there should be a reason why the link was hidden

- or you have an externally managed account (Confluence does not manage your password, it does not have it), most likely that would be how you log into your laptop or other tools

- or your account in Confluence is disabled, regardless of the above 2, it won't permit you to log in, I think it would still give the same confusing error but I am a bit hazy on this

Either way, it's the team that manages that Confluence instance that you need to contact, they should know how Confluence authentication is set up, check if there's anything wrong with your account.

Broken Links Issue After Confluence Migration
Asked by Tharunkumar B:

**Description:**   
After the recent migration, we are experiencing a significant issue across all pages in Confluence. While the page titles and content are accurate, the URLs have changed, resulting in broken links that prevent users from accessing the intended pages.

**Example:**

**Before Migration:**

* **Title:** "TIEC New joiners guide"  
  **Content:** "Steps to set up development machine in TIECC for Avant platform"  
  **URL:** <https://old-confluence-url.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=123456> (Correct old URL)

**After Migration:**

* **Title:** "TIEC New joiners guide"  
  **Content:** "Steps to set up development machine in TIECC for Avant platform"  
  **URL:** <https://new-confluence-url.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=654321> (Correct content, but the link is broken) or TIECC New joiners guide"(when u click the link,its showing same page)


Answers:
author: Kristian Klima
body: Hi [@Tharunkumar B](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5302946)

I've been off the on-premise Confluence for years but unless I'm very much mistaken, migrated content will have different page IDs compared to the original. Which is an issue if you're referencing the content from outside of Confluence.

Having said that, the links among the pages of the migrated content WILL work with new page IDs providing the content was migrated in one go.

This might help - <https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/the-differences-between-various-url-formats-for-a-confluence-page-278692715.html>

It seems that using the 'pretty format'

prevents the post-migration link link issue.
