Nginx configuration for synchrony is not correct
Asked by Sergey Mikhnevich:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: [Running Confluence behind NGINX with SSL](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=858772080)*

I think there is an issue with /synchrony configuration. One should conditionally send "Connect" header to 8091 upstream. If you always send "Connect: Upgrade" you will and up with not working static js files.

For example this url will return 404

```
https://confluence.example.com/synchrony/resources/js/vendor/sockjs.min.js
```

So you need to make configuration as in nginx documentation example <http://nginx.org/ru/docs/http/websocket.html>

```
http {    map $http_upgrade $connection_upgrade {        default upgrade;        ''      close;    }server {....    location /synchrony {        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host;        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;        proxy_pass http://localhost:8091;        proxy_http_version 1.1;        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;		# Note using $connection_upgrade variable		# It is not set and header is not passed to upstream for static file requests        proxy_set_header Connection $connection_upgrade;    }}
```

```

?JIRA Road Map? Macro does not show all projects in the project drop down list
Asked by Murty Chitti:

No issues with Apllication Links

Projects have multiple versions with the release date.


Answers:
author: Nicholas Heidinger
body: For future people seeing this.  
Jira roadmaps only works for next-gen projects that have the roadmaps feature enabled. Classic projects also wont show up in the dropdown.

See <https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirasoftwarecloud/roadmap-957979308.html> for more info.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Do you have permissions to see the projects?

comments: author: Murty Chitti
body: Hi Nic,

Yes, I have the browse project permission.

This problem is typically weird because the project dropdown in the macro configuration window is showing projects from all JIRA instances connected to the confluence.  
The projects have versions and release dates as well.  
JIRA version - 7.2.2  
Confluence version - 5.9.4

for some reason, I can't comment on your question so putting it as a separate answer.

Our Confluence server doesn't allow us to save Chinese Characters how can we enable this?
Asked by Marcel Govers:

Hi,

We are using an English version of Confluence (and Jira) for all of our project management and documentation.

Our product will roll out to China at some stage, so our Chines colleague tried to add some translations to an existing page.

Saving that page wouldn't work. How can we overcome this?

I found some translation packages, but we don't want the whole confluence application to be translated, we only need it to accept Chines characters.

Hope you can help us with this!

Thanks, Marcel.

how can I export page with attachments
Asked by rjamesAcn:

I want to take a WIKI "chapter" and its subsections with have attachments in each subsection and export it as a bundle to share externally. I thought it would be simple in the toolbar, but the export is for a page and save-as uses hyper-links to the attachments.


Answers:
author: Gorka Puente _Appfire_
body: Hi @Robert James\],

If by WIKI "chapter" and subsections you mean a branch of pages (i.e., a page with children pages), you can use the export as XML feature of Confluence. Go to the space tools, and do a custom export, selecting the pages you need. The person who receives this bundle, has to import it back to a Confluence instance:

Screen Shot 2017-01-29 at 08.08.39.png

If by WIKI "chapter" and subsections you mean a single page with sections, you can use the commercial add-on [Comala Share It](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.keinoby.confluence.plugins.share-attachments/server/overview). This add-on allows you to publicly share pages and/or attachments. In your case, you can share a page, and all the content.

Disclaimer, I work in Comalatech, the company behind that commercial add-on.

Hope this helps,

Access to Content Tools in Documentation Theme

When I Insert JIRA Issue/Filter in Confluence, fields with multiple values has an odd display.
Asked by n:

Hello All,

I have been inserting JIRA Issue/Filter in confluence and once I select the table as display option with the Multiple options fields which we use and insert it on a page, It gives out the weird display of options without any separation.

For Example,

Say suppose I inserted a JIRA issue for the Check box Custom field which has options JIRA, Confluence, HipChat, Bitbucket selected.

I get the display of options as "JIRA Confluence HipChat Bitbucket" which looks so annoying.

Do we have any workaround to get a separation between the options for the macro "JIRA Issue/Filter" in Confluence or any issue raised before which is similar to this request?

Any suggestion or work around is much appreciated.

Thanks.

comments: author: n

I guess, the image above can give some clarity for the question I've asked.

I tried pulling issue TV-7 into confluence, set the Display settings to table to show up the above fields.

The CHECKBOX field "Language" has Options 'English' and 'Spanish' selected.

The view in confluence in displaying both options doesn't have any separation like a comma or something in between. It just shows "English Spanish" as one option.
How to include JIRA story-points or percent-complete in a Confluence Gantt Chart
Asked by JamesT:

I'm developing a Gantt Chart in Confluence, based on project plans, dates, etc. I'd like to include real-time JIRA data as well. I know how to display a JIRA chart in Confluence, but instead I just want to pull out "percent-complete" out of a JIRA project (based on number of issues completed vs remaining, or maybe story-points completed vs. the total in the sprint). Is there anyway to query a "number" like this from JIRA, which would then show up in a cell in my table and be rendered into the Gantt chart?

author: Rob Woodgate
body: Hi James,

You can use [JQL](https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirasoftwareserver070/advanced-searching-762877735.html) to return a number in the JIRA Issue/Filter macro, then set the **Display Options** \> **Display As** to the **Total issue count** radio button. However, this will only work for "number of results", but you could use one macro for "number of issues set to done" and one macro for "number of issues set to not done" and use the charting functionality to perform a calculation/visualisation on those 2 numbers.

comments: author: JamesT
body: Thanks for the suggestion, but when I use the JIRA issue/filter macro and set it to display "total issue count", it still displays it as a macro:

issues.png

Trying to use that in a chart gives the error "'Getting issues...' could not be converted to number." Looks like the chart is rendering the table before the JIRA macro can return the number. However, I'm not sure that the macro output could be interpreted as a number anyway. I might have to manually set the percent (based on JIRA macro output)...

Drag and drop attachments - Confluence on demand
Asked by Confluence Administrator:

Hi

We use Confluence cloud-

### Confluence 1000.878.0 {#toc-hId-1424123439}

We have found that if we go to a page, click the 3 dot icon (for the menu to attachments / export to word etc) and go to attachments - from the attachments page we cannot drag and drop a file into the drop area for attachments.

In chrome and firefox it opens the file in a new tab rather than upload the document to confluence (as though the browser didn't detect the upload element on the page)

In IE, it highlights the dropping area as though it's working , but upon releasing the mouse button, the element stays highlighted and nothing happens.

Manual upload via the browse button works.

If we embed an attachments macro into a page, that drag and drop feature does work across browsers.

Thanks,


Answers:
author: Rob Woodgate
body: Milo's right, but as a specific answer to your question: That sounds quite odd, and you've done the things we'd often suggest (different browser, different ways of uploading). If you want to know why it's happening - or you need to work this way for some reason - put a ticket into Atlassian and ask them to investigate.


author: Milo Test
body: There's no need to go to the Attachments page: Just drag and drop on to the Confluence page itself. If you drop an attachment in View mode, the attachment will be hidden, but if you drop it in Edit mode, a thumbnail will be generated.

body: That doesn't seem to be the case any more. I am not able to drop text files into my pages. I have to manually add.

Can you export a Roadmap out of Confluence?
Asked by Sarah Johnston:

Are you able to export a Roadmap out of Confluence at all ?


Answers:
author: Milo Test
body: You can take a screenshot. :wink:

You can export the page as Word, where it creates a graphic of the roadmap.

Theoretically, you could right-click and select View Page Source, copy the HTML of the roadmap, and work with it in any app that can interpret HTML (e.g. Word). Prepare for major frustrations though.

You could also try backing up the page as XML and importing that into Word. No idea how it will come through.

Where are calendars stored?
Asked by Lennart Bonnevier:

When I "Create" a team calendar in Confluence, where are data stored? In the local space or in some global "calendar-space"? Or somewhere else?


Answers:
author: Jonas Andersson
body: Hi Lennart,

They are stored in a TC_EVENTS table in the mysql database, and can be queried like this;

```
select        SUMMARY,        DESCRIPTION,        FROM_UNIXTIME(SUBSTRING(START, 1, 10)) AS Start,        FROM_UNIXTIME(SUBSTRING(END, 1, 10)) AS End,        ALL_DAY    from AO_&lt;HEXNUMBER&gt;_TC_EVENTS where SUB_CALENDAR_ID="&lt;UNIQUE.ID.OF.CALENDER&gt;"    order by start;
```

I do the FROM_UNIXTIME transformation to get somewhat readable dates out of it..

Not sure if this is a path you want/can walk, but it's something..

I have got an another idea. You can customize (or develop) a custom blueprint for "must known" template. Blueprints are "remember" for their "origin"

Search Results Macro to show content that has NOT been modified for a week?
Asked by Mike Astle:

The macro "Last Modified" field only seems to allow me to specify a length of time ago within which to include results. I can say "show me all pages that have been updated in the last week".

Is that possible?


Answers:

As far as I know, there are no modifiers for the Search Results macro; the filtering is relatively basic.

Can you add groups to a blog post?
Asked by Jonathan Done:

Answers:
author: Rodney Hughes
body: Not exactly sure what you want to achieve

But a Blog Post means that all the Users with access to that Space will get the email alert .. provided their Email Notification settings under Watch are set to subscribe to Blog Posts

The blog post is stored "by date" so any User with access to the Space could search the blog posts, but that is not particularly sensible or obvious as to where to find stuff, i.e Blogs are "date based announcements" to the group.

But if you want to have a bunch of information directly available to all your Space Users, then why not just create a "Reference" or "Library" page of information within the Space? Set it up with a table as an index and link to Child pages or attachments if necessary

plug-in for Confluense
Asked by Maksim Polyakov:

Hi,

I need a plug-in for confluence that allows to upload documents with the description that can be filled: Who created and when created and allow to filter these documents. Thank you.


Answers:
author: Milo Test
body: Sounds like you want to recreate SharePoint. I don't think there is any way to add meta information when uploading attachments and no way to force the addition of labels. These are advanced file-repository features and Confluence simply isn't that.

Your best bet is to require your people to title their docs with that info or at least require them to properly label the attachments.
