Sidebar HOVER color for a Space
Asked by Darin Hafer:

I've learned how to style the sidebar for a Space and found some good tidbits [here](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Changing-the-sidebar-s-color/qaq-p/368159).

I can't figure out how to change the "hover" color and background color.

For example, when I hover over Space Shortcuts or the links above it, I see the elements on the page look like '.acs-nav-item' which is an \<li\> and '.acs-nav-item-link' which is the \<a\>.

![Screen Shot 2020-03-25 at 11.09.41 AM.jpg](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/87862i4E587EC0EBFD3277/image-dimensions/409x195?v=v2 "Screen Shot 2020-03-25 at 11.09.41 AM.jpg")

How can I specify the css for these items to change both color and background-color?

I've tried to determine this one and can't figure it out :-)


Answers:
author: Gareth Cantrell
body: Hi Darin,

In the space stylesheet, you can override the :hover pseudo-selector for the class:

```
.acs-nav-item-link:hover {
? ? ....
}
```

You also want to ensure that your style is as specific as possible, otherwise use the !important declaration (eg. background-color: red !important;)

In my space, the navigation looks like:

```
<li class="acs-nav-item pinned_page">
   <a class="acs-nav-item-link tipsy-enabled" href="/display/TEST/My+Page?src=spaceshortcut" data-collapsed-tooltip="null">
     <span class="icon"></span>
     <span class="acs-nav-item-label">My Page</span>
   </a>
</li>
```

so I added the following in my space stylesheet:

```
/* target both style classes to be as specific as possible */
a.acs-nav-item-link.tipsy-enabled:hover {
? ? background-color: coral;
}

/* label color is controlled by the label class of the span attribute */
a.acs-nav-item-link.tipsy-enabled:hover > span.acs-nav-item-label {
    color: white;
}
```

comments: author: Darin Hafer
body: Thank you [@Gareth Cantrell](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/600305) , I tried:

.acs-nav-item-link:hover {color:green;background-color:red;}

just to test it out, but it did not seem to work.

I should have mentioned, this is for Confluence Server v6.8.2. Seems like what I want, but I still get the same hover color as the screenshot.


author: Gareth Cantrell
body: I have updated the original answer with a more complete example.

Your style needs to be as specific as possible (search [CSS Specificity](https://google.co.uk/search?q=CSS+Specificity)), otherwise you can append the **!important** declaration to your style attributes.


author: Darin Hafer
body: Thank you so much [@Gareth Cantrell](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/600305) !!

That certainly solved it for me ;-)

I'm not a CSS expert, but I learn as I go, and as I inspect the page and see the classes and id's of elements, I try to decipher how to properly specify what I'm out to achieve.

This was certainly helpful and thank you for the link about specificity.

key metrics from Confluence Questions plugin
Asked by marunmohan:

Hi All,

I would like to know how we can get the below metrics from database / rest api for the confluence questions plugin

1 ) no of accepted answers for a question

2) no of upvotes for a comment


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello [@marunmohan](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3828238) !

As I understand, you need to gather specific metrics from your Questions within Confluence.

Some time ago this request has shown up but in its place, a similar set of metrics has been made available.

You can check the request here:
> * ++**[\[Confluence Server\] we would like to be able to get statistics on usage](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-51699)**++
> * ++**[\[Confluence Cloud\] we would like to be able to get statistics on usage](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-51699)**++

I see that you have also found the older version of this request, here in our Community:
> * ++**[\[Atlassian Community\] Track key metrics from Confluence Questions plugin](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Track-key-metrics-from-Confluence-Questions-plugin/qaq-p/46410)**++

For you to get the desired data, we need to first look into the database organization itself. You can start by looking here:
> * ++**[\[Confluence Server\] Confluence Data Model](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-data-model-127369837.html)**++

For you to find the tables needed for Questions for Confluence, I suggest that you compare your database before and after the installation of Questions for Confluence. What we want to do is compare two versions of your database, one before the installation of Questions for Confluence and one after the installation of Questions for Confluence.

You can take a look here to have an idea of how this works:
> * ++**[\[StackOverflow\] How to compare data between two databases in PostgreSQL?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4804779/how-to-compare-data-between-two-databases-in-postgresql)**++
> * ++**[\[StackOverflow\] What is a free tool to compare two SQL Server Databases?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/193438/what-is-a-free-tool-to-compare-two-sql-server-databases)**++
> * ++**[\[StackOverflow\] Compare two MySQL databases](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/225772/compare-two-mysql-databases)**++
> * ++**[\[Ask Tom\] Script to compare data in all tables in two different databases, if the table is present in both the databases.](https://asktom.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:9531089900346576427)**++

The links above refer to each supported database for Confluence. Since this is not an Atlassian Supported procedure, the links are from outside Atlassian itself.

I hope this shines some light into your issue! Looking forward to your reply.

Edit - brings up blank page
Asked by Dave Harrington:

We have a few pages that can no longer be edited since upgrading 6.15.4

* When the Edit option is selected, the page appears blank, and while the editing "ribbon" appears, clicking on items does nothing.
* The Copy and Move options for the page don't do anything
* Export (to PDF or Word) does work

These pages include a macro our team created, which I suspect is causing the problem. When viewing the page, the message "Unknown error. Please contact administrator. Error code: 0" appears where the macro was inserted.

The macro is no longer needed, but since we can't edit the page, it can't be removed.

Any thoughts would be appreciated


Answers:
author: Sachin
body: Hey Dave,  

- "Restore" that page to a previous versions from "Page history" and see if that helps  
- If that didn't work, then try doing a "Content indexing"   
- If you think Maco is causing the issue then I would try to remove the macro   
- I would also check the confluence logs to see what's going on  

Thanks,  
Sachin.

"Changes in the last 24 hours" mails are not sent
Asked by Christoph Pelzer:

Hi there,

since a couple of weeks (maybe month?) we have an issue with the "Changes in the last 24 hours" mails. These mails are sometimes sent, sometimes not. We can't see any reason and have no clue where exactly to look for an error.

In the past we rebooted our machine and the it worked for a short time. Now we want to find the reason and finally solve the problem :)

All other mail notifications are working without problems

Any ideas where to look why only the "24 hours" mails are stuck?

Confluence 6.15.6 running on Ubuntu (16.04 LTS) :)

Is ther anyway to bring back changes(unpublic changes)
Asked by Sarin:

I was sending the link to my team while i also publishing the page

But my team see the yesterday version of my page

I think the problem may occur due to the unstable of internet connection.

I cant find any history/backup of my work which i was working on it today(internet may be unstable sometimes but not all the time)

Can i bring my work back?


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Sarin,

Welcome to Atlassian Community. It's nice to meet you.

From what I understand, you shared a link to a **draft** of your unpublished Confluence page, is that right? From what I gather, people who access the draft using the link you sent them aren't seeing your latest draft, but the draft from the day before yesterday. Is that correct?

Have you saved your page at all? When you go to edit the page today, do you see your recent changes?

See [Create, Edit, and Publish](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/create-edit-and-publish-724764831.html) for information on drafts:
> **Drafts and privacy**
>
> Drafts don't have an actual location and don't show up in searches, so they start off invisible to anyone except the person who created them. If that person then shares the draft URL or invites others to edit that draft with them, those people will also be able to see and edit the draft.

Let me know if you have any trouble or questions.

Regards,

Shannon

Modify Column With in Jira Issues Macro
Asked by Felix Rucker:

Hi,

I am using the Jira Issues Macro in Confluence to diplay Jira task information in a table. It seems as if the column width of the table is set by the length of the "Column Name". However, if I have a short or two word column name, my column gets very narrow, which results in a very strange display of a longer texts. It even breaks up words if the column is too narrow. For example, if I would use a single letter as Column name, all content would be displayed in a long vertical line with only one letter in each line. I it is somehow clear what I mean. Here an example:

![image.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/87815i8460E5918F3579AB/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "image.png")

Is there a way to set a minimum column width or for the column to adapt to the task content, rather than to the column name?

And while we are at it, is there a way do re-order the "Coulumns to Display", or can I only add Columns at the End?

Thanks,

Felix


Answers:

body: Hi [@Felix Rucker](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3581873)

It is possible with the help of the [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) app and its [Table Transformer](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Transformer+macro) macro that allows [advanced table cells formatting](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/Advanced+table+cells+formatting).

Wrap your Jira Issues macro into the Table Transformer macro body and use custom SQL queries, for example:

This suggests the database hasn't been setup correctly and all the required tables could not be created. Check the permissions on the database does your confluence database user have all the correct permissions on the database as per - <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/database-setup-for-mysql-128747.html>

You may need to drop the database and re-create it as per the above link to get this working correctly.

Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Ewa,

Welcome to Atlassian Community. It's nice to meet you!

I would recommend that you stop Confluence, and try [clearing the plugins cache manually](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-clear-confluence-plugins-cache-297664846.html). Then you can start up Confluence again, and see if the issue persists.

If it does, have a look at your Confluence Server logs. For information on how to find those on your site, have a look at [Working with Confluence Logs](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/working-with-confluence-logs-108364721.html). Triggering the issue in the Confluence UI should generate an error, which will tell you what is causing the macro not to load.

If you continue to have issues, please let us know the following:

1. What version of Confluence you're running
2. Your database version
3. Whether all of your users are experiencing the problem or not
4. If the problem exists across all spaces and pages
5. Any error messages you found in the server logs
6. Confirmation that you were able to completely stop Confluence and clear the plugins cache

Thank you for your help!

Personal page permission shared but still inaccessible
Asked by Corinne Chui:

I have a personal space and a particular page that I have added permission for my team to view that page but the members of my team are still unable to view it. Is there something beyond giving view permission to the particular page that I have to do?


Answers:
author: Dominic Lagger
body: Hi [@Corinne Chui](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3826822)

I think you mean "restrictions" instead of permission.

On pages, you can only set the restrictions. The permission ist set in the space settings.

Important: You can't overrule the permission with the page restrictions.

You'll find some more informations here:

* [Permissions and Restrictions](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/permissions-and-restrictions-139557.html)
* [Page Restrictions](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/page-restrictions-139414.html)

This means, you have to give access in the space permissions.
