I need to generate a check list daily of the same tasks and submit the response to a tool like JIRA
Asked by Aanchal Nayyar:

I need to generate a check list for some daily tasks which let's say has to be generated at 1 PM daily. For instance, I want to monitor the status of some important servers and services being up daily, and submit the responses to a linked request system. Next day I want a new checklist to be re-generated with the same tasks list? Do we have a plugin for achieving this functionality?

The responses recorded against the daily checklist have to redirected from confluence and appended to a request in the internal request system.

Kindly write me for further clarifications.

All help in this regard is much appreciated.

body: Hi [@Aanchal Nayyar](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1610705),

if you want to run daily tests on your systems, I'd suggest a test management add-on like Xray or Zephyr for JIRA.

Create a test for each check, run them in a test execution each day and get daily results of your test coverage.

Xray inludes REST API which can be used for automatic testing \& exports of the results to different systems.

Hope that helps!

Confluence Cloud to Server - Linked Spaces
Asked by Hiten:

Hi

We are in the process of migrating our confluence cloud to confluence server.

I have done a number of spaces and are now getting down to the more complicated spaces.

My method for this has been exporting individual spaces and just importing them into our server instance.

I have a particular question and wondered what issues i may get and how best to resolve then

I have CloudSpaceA which has a lot of links to items in CloudSpaceB and CloudSpaceC

When i migrate CloudSpaceA to our confluence server the links will still reference CloudSpace B / C which is fine as users will then be directed to the cloud instance.

What happens to this link when CloudSpace B and C are migrated to the server will we have to relink the items in CloudSpaceA to migrated space in Cloud Space B / C

Regards

Hiten


Answers:
author: AnnWorley
body: Hi - I just tested the following: In Cloud, added a relative link in space **123** to a Confluence page in space **Team**. I imported both spaces to a server instance and the link from one space to the other worked on that instance without referring back to Cloud.

If the links are relative links, inserted by using the plus sign and choosing a page, the links will update when the space is imported.

Absolute or "web" links, which are the ones defined with the full URL, will continue to point to the Cloud instance since they are explicitly set. We have a workaround documented, it seems a little cumbersome so I am hoping your links are the relative variety rather than the absolute kind.

comments: author: Hiten
body: Hi Ann,

It all worked perfectly. there were a few little hurdles to tackle such as duplicate spaces on both environments so the links were getting broken but updating the XML files helped with this.

Unable to use 'Edit File -> Edit With' functionality with file attachments
Asked by Michael Chandra:

I want to be able to edit an excel document that is attached to a Confluence page; open it, edit it, then save it directly back onto Confluence (without having to download and upload).   

I've read that it is possible to click on the 'Edit File' button on an attachment, then click on 'Edit With'. When I click on 'Edit With' I'm left with a constant loading icon ![Conlfuence Edit With.JPG](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/26387i8D1DA068038AF7BB/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Conlfuence Edit With.JPG")

How can I get a Confluence calendar's events to show up in Google Calendar?
Asked by Mike Eng:

I followed [these instructions in Confluence](https://confluence.atlassian.com/teamcal/subscribe-to-team-calendars-from-google-calendar-273285887.html) and got a calendar url of

    https://confluence.cms.gov/rest/calendar-services/1.0/calendar/export/subcalendar/[calendar ID redacted].ics?os_authType=basic&isSubscribe=true

Note that when I follow that URL in a browser, I get a .ics file that downloads, and when I open it in Mac OS Calendar app, it imports the events as expected. That URL requires authentication though - if I visit it from an Incognito window, it prompts for a login.

I copied that URL, and in Google Calendar, I went to "Add Other Calendars" \> "From URL", and pasted in that URL. None of this Confluence calendar's events show up in Google Calendar, and there is no prompt in Google Calendar to enter a username or password. The added calendar is set to be shown in Google Calendar (the checkbox next to it in the list is checked).

In a plugin, does PageManager.getPages only returns pages which the current user has permission?
Asked by ??:

I want to develop a plugin which will extract special contents in all other pages. So,

1. will the pageManager.getPages(space) return all pages (of the space) or only pages the current user has permission?
2. if current user has no permission to view spaceA, will the pageManager.getPages(spaceA) return empty or not?


Answers:
author: Fabio Racobaldo _Herzum_
body: Hi [@??](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/788895) ,

Hope this helps,

Out of Disk Space
Asked by Lionel Seaw:

We have started using Confluence for about one year now and we have configured 500gb of disk space to support the application. This is runnig on Ubuntu. Last week, we started encountering issues uploading files and further investigation shows the partition is full

We are not a heavy user of the the system and i am unable to understand how the space can run out so quickly

How do i check the disk utilization in terms of spaces and pages and what can i do to recover from this situation?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: There's two usual culprits - attachments and logs. Ideally, logs should have some form of log rotation on them, but sometimes this is removed or not implemented. Check \<confluence home\>/logs and \<confluence install\>/log to see what is in there.

If that's not the problem, then have a look at the files in \<confluence home\>/attachments

As you're on a unix-style system, the command line can be used for a quick and easy display of sizes -

cd /\<confluence home\>/attachments

du -d 1 -h

This will list the current directories in attachments with their sizes (the -h makes it report a more human readable Mb and Gb instead of the whole number, and the "-d 1" means "only look 1 directory deep").

Reorder pages in a tree view
Asked by Allison Bloodworth:

I don't want to use the "Move" function, I want to drag \& drop from the tree view. In the past Confluence always had a way to do this (I've used it for over 10 years!) but I absolutely can't find it anywhere.


Answers:
author: Bill Rudy
body: For us at least (v6.3.1), the version number is at the bottom of every page. We can also reorder pages via the "View in Heirarchy" option (click on ellipses next to the word "Share" in upper right).

It's curious that you're an admin but don't have Space Tools, but might be something different w/your version. Sounds like you're an admin for your space only vs Admin of the entire site; I'd check with your main admin person, might be able to resolve.


author: Allison Bloodworth
body: I'm an Admin, but I don't have Space tools. This looks different than any version of Confluence I've ever used (and I've used it for over 10 years), and I can't even find the version #.

I finally found reorder pages myself, it's under Space Settings in the left nav -\> Content tools tab -\> Reorder Pages tab. Anyone have any idea what version this is, or how to figure that out?


author: Mesut Yilmazyildirim
body: Go to the space and choose Space tools \> Reorder pages from the bottom of the sidebar

Expand the branches to locate the page you want to move.

Drag and drop the page to a new position in the tree.

Display Parent Type using Jira issue/filter macro
Asked by Ryan Tom:

Is there a specific **field** that links a sub-task to a parent issue?

Context:

I want to display the parent ticket when using the Jira filter/issue macro on a confluence page.

This is the filter I've been using:

![Screen Shot 2018-07-06 at 4.21.33 PM.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/26342iDCBB06BAF5A89FDA/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screen Shot 2018-07-06 at 4.21.33 PM.png")Which generates these tickets: ![Screen Shot 2018-07-06 at 4.27.44 PM.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/26344iED49744A3ADAA068/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screen Shot 2018-07-06 at 4.27.44 PM.png")

Finally, when I go to display options and choose: (1) Parent Link

![Screen Shot 2018-07-06 at 4.29.15 PM.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/26345i41CC6C64C6042245/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screen Shot 2018-07-06 at 4.29.15 PM.png")

It displays as an empty field.

How do I fix this?

As Gustaf mentioned, the "Parent Link" field is coming from Portfolio for Jira. The functionality to include this field in Confluence is not currently not available. There's an open Feature Request for this field to load results from Jira when placed in a column in a Jira Issue Macro:

* <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JPOSERVER-1924>

I went ahead and linked this Community question in a private note to provide more visibility for our product team. Per [Atlassian's New Features Policy](https://confluence.atlassian.com/support/implementation-of-new-features-policy-201294576.html), please comment on the feature with how the feature would come in handy for your team.

Hope it helps clarify,

comments: author: Ryan Tom
body: It does--thank you for your reply!


author: Gustaf Bengtsson Sahlstrom
body: I'm not entirely sure, but I'll take a stab at this... I \*think\* that the Parent Link field is used for Portfolio, and then as a means to link Epics to a higher level initiative, e.g. Theme or Saga.

There are limitations to what can be done from a JQL perspective with this field as well, and there are some open issues logged, ex: <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JPOSERVER-1663>

There may be ways to get the information you're looking for by using Scriptrunner from Adaptavist, using issuefunctions *parentsOf()* or *subtasksOf()* but possibly not as neatly displayed as you're trying in the screenshot above.

Service Desk/Confluence Best Practices
Asked by Kathy Barton:

I'm setting up an instance of Service Desk and I am using the associated Confluence Space for the first time. I already have a bunch of pages written from when we developed the product but they are all in the internal space in confluence along with a bunch of other pages we don't want to expose to service desk customers. What is the best approach for managing these pages? I'd prefer to keep them in the same space they are currently in because internal users are used to looking for them there. Is there a way to expose certain pages to the SD customers without having to link the internal space to SD and then go through page by page to identify which ones should be public and which ones are private? Is there some other simple solution I haven't thought of?

TIA!

-Kathy


Answers:
author: Meg Holbrook
body: Hi Kathy,

Can you give a little more context around what kinds of articles were created when you developed the SD and Confluence spaces?

From what I'm hearing, you have internal help desk articles mixed in with customer-facing self-help articles, and you're looking for a good way to delineate the two.

If you want to keep continuity in the location of content for your internal teams, I'd highly recommend creating a separate external customer-facing space, and clone the needed pages over.

The issue with applying individual page security is that it is time-consuming and you can't easily manage these at scale. The earlier that you distinguish the two Confluence types: internal and external, the less work this will be to maintain in the future.

There may be pain in the beginning as agents transition into a new way of thinking, but I think the gains long-term are going to be better.

body: Thx, I figured that was the best way to go but I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing a sneaky trick to get around it :)

How do I add a client to a single confluence space?
Asked by Stephen Downs:

I see multiple threads of answers as to what to do. Why is it so complex? I simply want clients to see one space. But every time I try to do so and then I log in as the client, they see multiple spaces.

Confluence does not load on Android with React Native Webview
Asked by Ben Cifu:

I am building an app with **React Native** for the company that I work for, and one of the specifications is opening up our Confluence wiki inside a webview in the app. The wiki is hosted on our servers and can be connected to use [https://wiki.](https://wiki.?) The app sets up a VPN into our system using our MDM, so that is not the issue, as I can connect using https://wiki on iOS. Additionally, the wiki is protected by a log-in managed by Okta, but I do not believe that Okta is the problem as when I try to connect to a website like Service Now, also secured by Okta, I get our log in.

The issue happens when I open the WebView into Confluence. It should redirect into our Okta sign-in page, as this is what happens on the web and on iOS. However, on Android, I just get a loading animation for a few seconds then the webview goes blank and nothing changes. The connection URL for Confluence is not the issue, as when I try to connect with the public URL wiki.mycompanyname.com, the same thing happens. I think it is an issue with Confluence redirecting to log-on or its homepage on mobile in the React Native android webview.

Are there any work arounds that I can do that allow me to display Confluence in the webview?

Thank you!

Create issue including confluence-link
Asked by Rechnung:

We'd like to include a link for creating a jira issue in a confluence template. The issue is supposed to represent the page and will be assigned to an admin. Actually someone could create a confluence task in the page, but we don't like them for that purpose. The issue won't be created when creating the page, but somewhat later.

The link will be like that:

[http://jira.travel.local/secure/CreateIssueDetails!init.jspa?pid=10201\&issuetype=3\&summary=SAP%20Change\&priority=4\&components=11404\&description=http://confluence.travel.local/display/FIBU/2018-03-27+Sample\&reporter=tim\&assignee=john](http://jira.travel.local/secure/CreateIssueDetails!init.jspa?pid=10201&issuetype=3&summary=SAP%20Change&priority=4&components=11404&description=http://confluence.travel.local/display/FIBU/2018-03-27+Sample&reporter=tim&assignee=john)

How can the confluence-URL within the link be set generic to the current page, where the link is nested?


Answers:
author: R. Fuerst
body: Hi Florian,

To create a blueprint like that you'd want to write a blueprint plugin that includes the create Jira issue functionality. Below is an article on how to get started on writing a blueprint plugin:

* <https://developer.atlassian.com/server/confluence/write-a-simple-confluence-blueprint-plugin/>

There would be some complexity involved on the Jira side, since it would need to be assigned to a user.

Alternatively, there are some great Atlassian Partners out there who could assist with the plugin for an additional fee. To find one in your area and one that meets your needs, feel free to search at the link below:
